Hi :)
Well hello Live Journal peeps, long time no talk. I hope everyone is doing well!
When you haven't posted as long as I have, every time you want to make a post it seems like there isn't anything important enough to say to actually do it. Well I finally have something I want to share that I think people might enjoy: CRACKTASTIC ASIAN DRAMAS! [tm] by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
akscully. Probably not everyone's cup of tea, but if you're like me you'll love them.
Honestly I haven't been here in so long that these could well be old news, but just in case they aren't I want to spread the squee around:
Hana Yori Dango: Based off a shoujo manga series by Kamio Yoko. Rather off the wall and stylized, but thoroughly enjoyable. Took me awhile to warm up to the actor who plays the male lead, but now I can't imagine anyone else in the role. Also watch for the extremely amusing supporting cast/relationships.

Plus a movie, which comes out June 28.
It Started with a Kiss: A more traditional comedy/romance/drama based off a shoujo manga series by Tada Kaoru. Features a heroine I probably wouldn't normally like, but is played by an actress who makes her quite endearing. The male lead/character is unbelievably hot (very Draco-esque, but without the undercurrents of evil). Again a great supporting cast and wonderfully touching storyline (I both laughed out loud and sobbed during parts). May have to give this until episode 2 or 3 to fully get hooked -- and then it's so worth it.

If you find yourself with nothing to do, or craving some mind candy/romance, give them a watch and let me know if you liked them! Warning though ... if you do get into them, you may forego sleep and/or watch them at work because they're just that addictive.
