Overview: Let’s Watch Meteor Shower Together
Posted by: irugnotmis on: October 1, 2009
A few weeks after this drama had completed its broadcasting, I stumbled upon it. Since I wasn’t doing a whole lot of drama watching, I thought checking it out wouldn’t hurt (after all the publicity, who wouldn’t be a little curious?).

Kami no Shizuku Overview
Posted by: irugnotmis on: January 28, 2009
This drama is undoubtedly archetypical in every way, whether it be plot, character, or the frame of each mini excursion.

Black & White – A Montage-esque After Post

As a compromise between the poll result and what I was willing to do, I’ve decided to write an After Post rather than a comprehensive Overview. The latter simply takes too much time.
In this After Post, I’ll rant and rave about what I liked (characters) and what I didn’t like (characters!) — because I’ve been [...]
