So one of the doramas I’m watching this season is Hokaben. It stars Ueto Aya as a young hopeful lawyer who wants to be the savior of the weak. Her idea of what lawyers are is perhaps a bit naive, but I like to see some hope in the world. Normally, I don’t watch lawyer shows, but this turned out to be pretty interesting.
The first case of the show, which starts as a divorce case turns out to become a domestic violence issue and then to a child molestation case. It peaked my interest for sure because I seriously wanted to see the father/husband rot in jail or burn at the stake. But seriously, this could become a pretty good dorama, even if Ueto Aya isn’t being all cutesy. This is good for her, since it’s a serious role. I like her like that.
What dorama do you watch?

What’s a dorama?
I *think* that it’s a Drama of Asian origins. I could be entirely in the wrong parking lot but I checked out the Link to Hokaben and it gave me that vibe.
I can’t say that I’ve ever seen one myself.
Yeah they are like normal dramatic TV series but from Japan. Which of course means that Yoshi is the only one who could watch them and understand what the heck is going on. The rest of us would just wonder where the subtitles were.
Ohh…reading this, I remembered a mini series I watched years ago…Chief’s Yakudoshi. It was pretty damn funny.
Hmm…now I’m off to see if I can download it…probably not.. :S
@melanie dorama = Japanese drama
@abraxus actually it really only pertains to japanese drama, as the word “dorama” is strictly japanese. :D
@cybrpunk lol there are plenty of japanese people in the world that understand japanese. :P and I like subtitles too sometimes. Especially medical dorama.
@danalyn I think I almost remember that. it sounds familiar. I bet you could probably find it to download though if you really looked.
I couldn’t find it…although, I found a couple of sites that were selling it burned to DVD from the TV broadcast. lol
Oh, speaking of yakudoshi…ours are coming up! ZOMGOHNOES!!!
