HAMSAPSUKEBE 2015 JDORAMA AWARDS

WTF AWARDS

WTF is Oguri Shun doing the Nobunaga Concerto movie and Ouroboros instead of the sequel Border?

WTF is Densha in so many shows. Is he becoming the new Kita Yoshio?

WTF does Risk no Kamisama have nothing to do with risk assessment/prevention?

WTF can't jdoramas do action scenes properly without insulting intelligence. I'm looking at you Siren/Angel Heart/Ouroboros.

WTF did anyone think that Death Note needed remaking?

WTF do season 3 of Doctors just to rehash the same thing?

WTF hasn't anyone uploaded Panic In?

The one show I want to watch in Shingari but the lack of Japanese subs makes its very difficult to follow all the bloody business terms.

BEST DORAMA SPECIAL

KAMOSHIRENAI JOYUUTACHI

I don't normally watch dorama specials because most of them are idol pushing someone has fatal disease stories but I can't imagine anything more entertaining than this.


BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS

KURASHINA KANA - TENSHI NO KNIFE

Honourable mention to Kikuchi Rinko and Kaho in Yume o Ataeru.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR

KOBAYASHI KAORU - GODAN

Shout out to Takito Kenichi for Zainin no Uso, the first time I've never seen him overact.

BEST ACTRESS

AIBU SAKI - GARASU NO ASHI

I normally don't think of Aibu Saki as a good actress (though I really like her in Angel Heart) but this was the role of her career and she absolutely owned the character.

Honourable mentions to Kimura Tae for Boku no Tsuma to Kekkon shite kudasai and Suzuki Kyoka for Dakara Koya.

BEST ACTOR

FURUTA ARATA- YAMI NO BANSOSHA

Yami no Bansosha wouldn't have been as fun without him.

Honourable mention to Ito Hideaki for Zainin no Uso.


BEST JDORAMAS OF 2015

OKASHI NO IE 

Best slow, feel good show of the year. The ending to episode 9 is so heartwrenchingly good.


KAGERI YUKU NATSU

I love how every episode ends in a cliffhanger with great music. WOWOW are the masters of suspense doramas.

TENSHI NO KNIFE

Inconsistent acting does not prevent Tenshi no Knife from being a must watch show cause the script and Kurashina Kana are so good.

ZAININ NO USO

Ito Hideaki's best work.

YAMI NO BANSOSHA

GARASU NO ASHI

2015 was truly the year of WOWOW shows and they have shown that tightly scripted 5-6 episode doramas are better unless the material actually requires 10 episodes. WOWOW has truly stepped up their game and they are so much better than everyone else. If only Japanese subs for their shows were available.
