Review: Switch Girl

Well, I just finished this Drama. I saw it on Viki after I finished the Dotw and it was on my list so I thought why not watch it.

After all I think everyone has a tiny on-off switch, right ? ( Hopefully not as extreme as the female lead tho :wink: 🤣) But I as soon as I get home am hella glad when I can slip in comfortable clothes or when I don’t need to worry about my hair or so anymore :sweat_smile:

My Review:

This Drama is easy and fun to watch but it also is very exaggerated and even trashy. Often I experienced embarrassment for how some characters behaved.

I also didn’t really like the storyline

KAT_TUN's Taguchi Junnosuke made a surprise announcement during his group's appearance on NTV's music special programme "Best Artist " shown on 24 November where he revealed that he will be leaving the group by spring next year and quit Johnny's Jimusho at the same time. Before the group was due to perform, Taguchi announced his decision to leave KAT-TUN which was met by gasps of disbelief from the audience. He explained that before he turns 30 this year, Taguchi thought about what he wants to do in future which led him to make this decision. However, as a result of this decision, he is very sorry about leaving his teammates behind and apologised for the inconvenience and worry he has brought to his fans and people working with them.

Following Taguchi's speech, Kamenashi Kazuya represented his fellow teammates to apologise for the sudden announcement especially since this is not the first time that KAT-TUN members left. He pledged that the four of them will continue to work hard and thanked NTV, the staff and fellow performers on the show for giving them the time to make the announcement.

Johnny's Jimusho also released a statement on the same night saying that Taguchi wanted to leave the agency for personal reasons and decided to do so next year as KAT-TUN is due to celebrate its 10th anniversary. As for the exact date when he will do so, it will be dependent on work schedules and the agency wishes to minimise the impact on the programmes which he's currently involved in. There are no plans to disband the group for now but going forward, there will be discussions held with the remaining members before a final decision is made.

Kamenashi, Ueda and Nakamaru also released their personal statements in response to the news of Taguchi's resignation. Kamenashi was regretful that this had to happen at this time and feels miserable about his decision. Ueda revealed that after repeated discussions, they had come to realise that Taguchi had different plans for his futur

How can I say that I love your analyses so much ?
(forgive me because my English is not good ^^)

Please say about the others, I'll wait to read it
(Maybe I will become your fan )

Ah,I have something to discuss too.

- The scene that Ren gave the chair to Yuzu, in the chair was a descent moon right?
Maybe it means that Yuzu like Ren, sometimes they forget the precious things in their life, and also didn't see what is important. Then, Yuzu came to her father (president Ohnuki), said to him: "Dad, I'm sorry." and promise that she will do her best.

It make more sense about the way to fill up our lives, as the way to see the full moon.

- The scene that Xiu Mei wrote in the glass: "Rensuke, I love you." but it quickly disappear and she cried.
I feel very touching although I don't like her. And I feel this detail symbolize the relationship between Ren and Xiu Mei. Their love is the same of it. First, it was very easy to write and to see but then it get over quickly. And with the two of them, they can't see it anymore.

But with Maemi it was different. She saw it although Ren and Xiu Mei didn't. And at that moment she realize that if she didn't told Ren her feeling she would never have a chance to do it. So she confessed to him.

Hehe, my english is bad, so I want to comment many things but I can't So, please forgive me if I make mistake in my post

notoriousnoona, if you weren't find it unpleasant please tell me something about that scenes:

- Yuzu said to Ren "It smells like her here. Let's open the window." and he told her "Yuzu. Please don't open it. Just leave it as it is." why Ren said that?

- At the airport, when Xiu Mei told him "So, you bastard, go back." then she (sorry I don't know what it's called ). Ren to her too, but she went and he was confused. Maybe it means something

Finally, thanks you very much I love your post more than I can say (embarassed ).

There's Shinohara Ryoko, who's

A Koala&#;s Playground

Some of my all-time fave dramas are Japanese doramas. I&#;ve been watching J-doramas since the early 90s, when I was a wee lass (okay, not so wee, but definitely still a lass), and following this bandwagon has been a bumpy ride. When its good, the ride was exhilarating. When its been blergh, it feels like an interminable period of uninteresting dreck. Folks have asked me to add Taiwan and Japan dramas to my ratings list, and I certainly have watched enough to render opinions on quite a few works. Rather than rating the ones I&#;ve watched and care to even talk about, I thought it more productive to write about them in a comprehensive post. This list contains a handful of J-doramas I&#;ve watched over the years, it&#;s not comprehensive or all-inclusive, but should be a good starting point for newbies to dive in. I think J-doramas are so intrinsically different than K-dramas and TW-dramas that the first key to watching them is to throw away preconceived notions and open the mind up to new experiences. If you hit on one that you love, it might just became an all-time favorite.

Koala&#;s Collection of Japanese Dramas:

Gokusen – Nakama Yukie plays the daughter of a Yakuza boss turned high school teacher, whipping delinquents into shape and inspiring them to embrace education and achievement. Contains a who’s who of the current crop of leading actors and actresses from when they were just starting out. Season 1 had Matsumoto Jun, Oguri Shun, and Narimiya Hiroki. Season 2 had Kamenashi Kazuya, Akanishi Jin, Hayami Mokomichi, and Mizushima Hiro, while Season 3 had Miura Haruma and Takaki Yuya. Episodic and formulaic, but a solid and entertaining motivational story.

Ichi Ritoru no Namida(One Litre of Tears) – When that title, I suggest you hydrate yourself before starting this dorama. Starring Sawajiri Erika and Nishikido Ryo, its billed as an uplifting real life story about a girl suffering from spino
