To me, intellectual comedy is so more harder to write than slapstick comedy. Add well rounded characters and good acting and you have one of the best jdoramas ever.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad that the ratings for this show are good. I mean, there's no johnny bishounen, there's no SMAP as the main actor. <BR/><BR/>You can see the ratings drop after the 1st ep and picks up afterwards. I can only speculate its due to word of mouth.Akiramikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00069211748655168031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13896723.post-1159203013511537072006-09-26T02:50:00.000+10:002006-09-26T02:50:00.000+10:00As far as audience share is concerned, I suspect i...As far as audience share is concerned, I suspect it's quality vs. quantity. My Boss My Hero aired on weekends, and presumably a lot of its viewers are school kids. Certainly, that show did not demand too much of its audience. Kekkon aired on late Tuesday evenings, and is obviously aimed at a more mature and discerning demographic. These are people who probably don't watch much tv to begin with, so a 22% share is no mean feat. But I'm just guessing, so if anybody knows better, please let me know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13896723.post-1159185621789227742006-09-25T22:00:00.000+10:002006-09-25T22:00:00.000+10:00As sad as it can get, finally KDO is over.

I'm a melbournites too :) IMO the ending for KDO is nicely done and not giving the viewer the answer whether they will marry or not is good too, since we can pretty much know what's going to happen in the end. I think KDO is my most enjoyable dorama released in 2006, since it's quite an intellectual yet funny drama without over emphasizing the funny part *cough my boss my hero cough*.<BR/><BR/>I just hope that both yui ichikawa and hiroshi abe can win the best actor for the dorama award, and of course KDO for the best dorama as well. As far as the viewer rating goes, my boss my hero is still on top of KDO. But I reckon hiroshi's acting is much more refined than tomoya nagase's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13896723.post-1159077693954406432006-09-24T16:01:00.000+10:002006-09-24T16:01:00.000+10:00Oh by all means let's talk about it.

Perhaps now that the sub is out the chatter will pick up.<BR/><BR/>Akiramike, I look forward to seeing how you'll peel this onion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13896723.post-1159071017574844832006-09-24T14:10:00.000+10:002006-09-24T14:10:00.000+10:00Actually this is better than porn... the possibili...Actually this is better than porn... the possibilities in finding women like that in this show are real.<BR/><BR/>The catcher is Kuwano. Natsumi wants to play ball with Kuwano but not dodge ball and she is making the first throw.<BR/><BR/>This show's dialog is amazing... it always gives me a feeling as if I'm passing by a dinner party in a hurry, even though I couldn't get the meat but it is still a pleasure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13896723.post-1158977090164072432006-09-23T12:04:00.000+10:002006-09-23T12:04:00.000+10:00Maybe Michiru just liked Kuwano cause ken-chan lik...Maybe Michiru just liked Kuwano cause ken-chan liked him? I do agree it has almost as much rewatch value as porn, except its a different kind of stimulation.<BR/><BR/>I'm not ready to say goodbye to KDO yet. KDO is too good that it makes the mediocre shows look really crap.Akiramikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00069211748655168031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13896723.post-1158860976879343522006-09-22T03:49:00.000+10:002006-09-22T03:49:00.000+10:00Michiru had a crush on him, that's all. It was as ...Michiru had a crush on him, that's all. It was as deep as a koi pond and as enduring as sashimi on a hot day.<BR/><BR/>And you are right about the treasure buried in the details. Sadly, some of the aural jokes are lost in translation, like "Ken" being short for "kenchikuka." Too close to be random, eh? At least the visual cues transcend all language barriers. The show fades out on the image of the two leads crossing the river on HIS bridge, and she's the one tapping the railing. Even if you don't understand Japanese, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out where the two are headed. Such details give this entire series almost as much rewatch value as porn.<BR/><BR/>Last KdO post coming you say? Sadly, we'll all have to move on to other things, but it will be too soon for me in any event.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
