K-drama Stove League (Hot Stove League) which was both a popular hit and also award winning will be getting a J-dorama adaptation. This comes on the heel of the success of the J-version of Marry My … Continue reading →

Japanese idols Yamashita Tomohisa and Kamenashi Kazuya have reunited for a May 2020 mini dome tour starting in Osaka and ending on Tokyo. The two worked together musically first as the fictional Shuji to Akira named after their characters in hit … Continue reading →
The recently premiered J-dorama You Are My Destiny is off to a solid start and I’m liking what I’ve seen so far after episode 1. It’s not as cracktastic as male lead Yamashita Tomohisa‘s last dorama From Five to Nine with Ishihara Satomi, but this one I’m enjoying the random fun chemistry with the co-male leads Yamapi and Kamenashi Kazuya. … Continue reading →
It’s T-minus 4 days from the premiere of new romance J-dorama You’re My Destiny (Boku, Unmei no Hito desu), with a super cute wrapping of a love prone hapless male lead with his no-nonsense capable female lead crush being brought together by a super cool mysterious matchmaking god. J-ent is also excited for the drama reuniting Yamashita Tomohisa and Kamenashi … Continue reading →
This dorama continues to look cute and cuter, or maybe that’s due to the reunion combination of Yamashita Tomohisa and Kamenashi Kazuya shading everything in rosy tinted Nobuta nostalgia. It could be both, with Yamapi’s last rom-com being the most excellent From Five to Nine (5-ji Kara 9-ji Made) with Ishihara Satomi. This time in You Are My Destiny (Boku … Continue reading →
This dorama looks majorly adorable, as hoped and expected when I hear the three leads casting consisting of three of my J-ent baes. There’s Kamenashi Kazuya doing his version of the earnest lovelorn suitor, Yamapi as his magical and cool ikemen matchmaker, and Kimura Fumino sporting a delightful short do and a no nonsense glower as the lady of the … Continue reading →
I super can’t wait for the arrival of spring romance dorama I’m Your Destiny (Boku, Unmei no hitodesu), not just for the reunion of bromance from ten years ago Yamashita Tomohisa and Kamenashi Kazuya but also for the promised cuteness of a fluffy rom-com. Doesn’t hurt that female lead Kimura Fumino is all sorts of awesome, she is basically a … Continue reading →
Waaaaaaaaa, this is the best J-dorama casting news for nostalgia fans, and highly promising news for those wanting a dorama rom-com. Twelve years after their hit dorama collaboration in Nobuta wo Produce, Yamashita Tomohisa and Kamenashi Kazuya is reuniting for a spring romance on NTV called Boku, Unmei no Hito desu (I, Am Your Destined One or I, Am Your … Continue reading →
A couple of months ago I did a write up on TW-actors and TW-actresses, which was relatively easy to do since there just aren’t that many of them occupying the perch as certifiable leads. The same isn’t true elsewhere, which is why I’ve been hesitant to attempt it for other industries. Nevertheless, I suddenly got the urge to run down … Continue reading →
It’s time for another installment of Pimp That Drama. The first post was months ago, when I pimped out Hotaru no Hikari, and in the interim I simply got swept up into a veritable tidal wave of love for a certain kissy kissy drama. While I write formal reviews for Thundie, a PTD post is not a formal review inasmuch … Continue reading →
