Heaven's Coins 2 / 續。星の金貨 / Zoku Hoshi no Kinka

At this point in the game, I'm a little depressed to discover that there is a Zoku Hoshi - 3.Sequels rarely capture my interest with as much certainty as the originals do, and this was sadly true for Heaven's Coins sequel.At least I got to spend several hours staring at Yutaka and Osawa again, though!And what a disappointment to find out that Osawa hasn't starred in a drama since 2001!bummer --He's in a lot of movies, though, so that's good - (i...

NigaHiga on Asian Dramas

I subscribed to NigaHiga because he's just too, damn funny.he's a kid from Hawaii who likes to make people laugh, and he does a really good job of it, too!in fact, he's so good that Hollywood came a callin' and now he's got his first motion picture to brag about.He ends every video with a TEEHEE, which I don't get - but whatever.I always thought that pwned came about when some idiot hit the p instead of the o (they're right next to each other on...

Hotaru no Hikari / ホタルノヒカリ

10-episode, Manga-turned-Anime-turned-romantic comedy / drama from Japan that aired July 11 to September 12 back in 2007.A friend from Korea recommended this one, and I'm really grateful to her for it, too!This was the sweetest thing I've seen in a long time, and it left me with that warm & fuzzy feeling on the inside.The chemistry between the two leads: Ayase Haruka as Amemiya Hotaru, and Fujiki Naohito as Takano Seiichi was spectacular!It's...

Hoshi no Kinka / 星の金貨 / Heaven's Coins

This was a lot of fun to watch. An April through July, 1995, 12-episode broadcast from Japan that starred Osawa Takao as Shuichi, an uber-handsome doctor, and Yutaka Takenouchi as his equally gorgeous but not quite as mature half-brother, Takumi.Again, this was something I picked out at aznv.tv because of Takenouchi, though he received little, if any, credit.Since it was from 1995, I suppose this makes sense.Maybe it was his first appearance or...
