Of Swords and Parasols

This was a very light year for me as far as dramas go. I only watched 10 full dramas (one of which was a two part special) and 4 episodes of another (included for the crack), far fewer than I did the first two years I watched them. This isn’t deliberate, as I think I’ve been slightly “myeh” on watching things in general the last 6~ months. That is, I’ve been watching things, obviously, but not making an effort to, and dramas require effort, as few are licensed, I don’t get any of the very few U.S. stations that air them, and then I haven’t had a DVD player recently. (Until the last few days, that is.) There are a lot of dramas I wanted to watch, but didn’t get around to. Hopefully in 2009.

Dramas I watched:

kdramas:

Hello Miss
Legend
Lovers
Spring Waltz
Vineyard Man

jdramas:

Good Luck
Jikou Keisatsu
Hotaru no Hikari
Nodame Cantabile Special

cdramas:

Magic Sword of Heaven and Earth (only 4 eps)
Net Deception

Comments:

Incidentally, I make my comments without looking at anything I said about them at the time, and am not going into depth because all but one I posted on at the time.

( brief comments on each )

Hopefully, I will watch more dramas in 2009.
