doramas and Hogfather

[meganbmoore]

While I wait to get a new infusion of doramas(soooon, I hope, soooooooon)  I've decided to give some of the dramas I tried but didn't immediately click(but that I still have) a second chance.  I tosses(figuratively) the ones that strightup rubbed me the wrong way or had something I really disliked, and am left with:

cdrama:

Guts of Man
Magic Sword of Heaven and Earth

jdrama:

Antique Cake Store
Boku Dake no Madonna
Densha Otoko
Fugoh Keiji
Kougen E Irasshai
Nanisama
Oh OkuSay Hello to Blackjack
Slow Dance
Teppan Shoujo Akane

Anyone have opinions to offer up on any of the above?

Also, Amazon sent my DVDs overnight.  As they didn't charge me for overnight shipping, I have no issues with that.  My Tin Man DVDs had a painful trailer for some horror movie, but also one for The Hogfather from the Pratchett series, which looked like it could be decent.  Anyone seen that?

I think the actor is mostly going for "cold and repressed," at least, that's what I'm getting from it.

The Deschanel sisters have a very similar approach to acting, and they also have similar enough voices that I had to remind myself what I was watching a few times, but it does work much better for a character like Bones than for D.G.

The dynamic between Cain and D.G. is one I'm very fond of, romantic or platonic, and that likely influences me, though. I get the feeling that the title has as much to do with the fact that a "Tin Man" is supposed to be that world's representative of law and order but is oppression instead has as much to do with the title as Cain does(and based on the first episode, it does seem to still be D.G.'s story more than Cain's.)
