Drama's I've been watching lately...

Konnichiwa!
I'm happy to be writting here again and well this time I'll be talking about the drama series I've been watching recently.

I have always loved Japanese anime and some mangas but I never watched dramas until a few months ago. I always thought that they were boring and just like the mexican "telenovelas" (soap operas), but a friend told me about an anime she used to watch when she lived in Japan (Thanks a lot Mag!! I can't stop watching them!!), it was "Nodame Cantabile" and well I watched until the end but then I found the Drama version and I started watching it, so by the end of the serie I just couldn't stop searching and I also read the manga hehehe. Then after that because I was in school I couldn't watch that many animes or dramas so I just kept listenning to what my friends from Graphic Design told me about other dramas, I wanted to watch them soo bad but school was pretty busy.

A couple weeks ago another friend from Kansas (Aly) showed me a page where you can watch Korean and Japanese dramas so I watched two of the ones she recomend me: "Lovers in Paris" and "Sweet 18"... I loved both, I just didn't like the "Lovers in Paris" ending and the fact that it took soo much to get to an ending, besides that they were just perfect! (And yeah those series are all about love so if you're not a girl you wont really like them).

After that I just wanted to wach more and more dramas so another friend (this time from college) gave me a long list of drama's. To make the long story short I'll tell you that my new favorite drama series are:



"Hana Yori Dango" which is a story about a girl that is attending at a rich kid's High School and well she's poor so she sees all the differences between social classes and also the school is rulled by a group of 4 boys who are the sons of the richiest families in Japan and they call themselves F4 or Flower 4 (kind of silly the name...). So anyone who goes against them starts being bulled by them. Is a very cool story and I personally feel identified by it... I went to private schools here in Mexico almost all my life and the last one I attended was full of rich kids so everyone's favorite hobby was to get expensive silly things and then make fun of anyone who didn't have one like them. So anyway, is a great drama, a must watch one!



My second favorite is "Hana Kimi". This story is about a girl that lives in the States and moves to Japan, she starts attending an all-boys high school (she disguise her as a boy) where a guy who she likes goes and well... the story is all about how she have to hide her secret and what she does there... I can't really explain it well because I would be telling all the story but I truly recommend it!



And finally the one I mentioned before "Nodame Cantabile" This one is just great, is about a girl and a guy who attend to a Japanese Conservatoire and well both play the piano and he also plays the violin, but his dream is to become the conductor of an orchestra. So the story develops around that and also the girl's crush on him. Pretty good and funny!

That's all I guess.. so if you guys are interested in finding more about which animes I have watched just ask me =), and if you have recommendations leave them here, I'll love to watch them!
