Mitsushima Hikari is the best Japanese actress today, Sakamoto Yuji (Chase/Mother) is writing this and the director Mizuta Nobuo also did Mother and Maiko Haaaan! If that is not a recipe for a classic dorama, I don't know what is.
The dorama SP was good. Is there anything left for the second season?
Kaho as a nurse! Woohoo. Scary dorama by the guy who directed Ring 0. I'll only be watching for Kaho.
4. Keibuho Yabe Kenzo 2
More from my favourite detective with the wig. Can we please have a cameo from Abe Hiroshi?
Sakuraba Nanami in a schoolgirl survival dorama? What can go wrong? Actually, hold that thought. Its still worth a look.
No Mimura. :( Their chemistry was what made the first season work. Same writer might recapture that magic, maybe.
Moteki and Ono Machiko playing a Geisha? Yes, please. Let's see whether Moteki can really act.
A dorama about 2 Yumis who see each other's lives in their dreams. Sounds interesting.
From Jadefrost's synopsis, sounds like a murder + corporate conspiracy dorama. Right up WOWOW's alley.
PREDICTIONS
Will this be the greatest season ever? Woman and Meoto Zenzai will probably end up being good. Can't think of what else to do with Doctors 2. Everything else will be pedestrian, Saito-san will be boring without Mimura and Furueru Ushi will end up like so many WOWOW doramas that peter our at the end. What do I need to sacrifice to the jdorama gods to get 3 must watch shows this season?
