hello! yoshi

15. I love to watch Japanese Drama (or dorama). I know this might sound like a crazy fact, But I have been addicted to watching “dramas” from japan. I know I’ve posted about this long before, but thought I’d mention it again as one of my 100 facts.

Why do I like them? A typical “renzoku” (serial or consecutive) drama lasts about 10 to 12 episodes. While this may seem short, it’s probably no different than a typical mini-series over here. This is one thing I do like about Japanese Drama, because a drama actually ends, and doesn’t go on and on and eventually get to the point where it jumps the shark. There are also times when a drama is so popular, there is a sequel.

Most dramas follow a simple formula: boy meets girl, boy courts girl (or the other way), something happens that builds a rift or interferes with the relationship of boy and girl, and then in the end, boy stays with girl. Of course, this doesn’t apply to all dramas. But this is the typical formula, and I love it. Call me old fashioned. :)

Another favourite of mine are the baseball dramas. There hasn’t been one in a while, perhaps since H2 – Kimi to Itahibi. I loved this show, especially since I read the original manga by Adachi Mitsuru
