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 downloaded Hogfather a while back ago (I think this was christmas?) and wasn't too impressed by it. But then again, I think Pratchett's books are probably very hard to adapt, so it was a bit hit and miss. I think the lead actress physically fit what I think Susan looks like, but I'm not sure her personality - the right mix of chilly/pragmatic reasonableness in the Discworld gone mental - was fleshed out more than just stiff English governess.

Also, as much as I heart Maki, Teppan Shoujo Akane was terrible, and the spotty subs didn't help it very much. If J-TV picked it up, I might try watching again, but....I don't know. It does make me hungry for okonomiyaki, though.

From the bit I watched of Akane...I remember loving Maki, finding the rich girl amusing, and hating everyone else.
