Konnichiwa and Annyeong Haseyo minna-san

Hope that's correct above but what I'm saying is welcome everyone. May 10, 2019 is the first day of this blog and many may know me from 'Nao Kanzaki and Friends'... aitoda.com. There I have such a mix of things and finally decided to branch out with just a blog devoted to Japanese and Korean dramas. Will also be having some film reviews but one thing you won't see are any J-Pop idols or gravure models except for their dramas, this blog is dedicated 100% to dramas and films.

Also actresses as will be having many, many posts for them. Such as them appearing at events, mag spreads, interview pics and whatever else. So you should be seeing a lot of my bigger long time faves such as Erika Toda, Park Min-Young, Lee Yeon-Hee, Tsubasa Honda and too many others to count.

News and upcoming projects

Should have done this on my Aitoda blog which is to let viewers know what's going on. Seems like a good way to let everyone know if I'll be taking a break, what to look forward to and any other tidbits.

Updating update, May 19th:

Whew, have finally finished transferring over enough posts from the Aitoda blog. May be a few here and there in the future for some new that's being introduced but there shouldn't be too many. Have also included announcers for women that I'll be posting about as my top two current faves just happen to be in that profession.

The first five episodes of '3-Nen A Gumi' have now been posted. For series over five shows will be doing two batches of them as I figure ten posts are way too many to read through during one sitting so will have the second half of the drama coming up in 2-3 weeks, highly recommend the show.

June 4th.... Have written up the recaps for episodes 7 and 8 of the '3-Nen A Gumi' show and will have those long with episode eight by June 6th. Up next for Korean dramas is up in the air but leaning towards a pair of shorter series which will be either "Splish Splash Love" or "The Universe's Star".

Jo Bo-Ah: Two recent events plus a pair of mag spreads....



 Finally picking up the pace for "The Ghost Detective" drama, down to eight episodes to go after viewing six in the past few days. You may be thinking 'what does that have to do with Bo-Ah who isn't in the drama?', That's true but the sooner I finish the series the quicker I'll be able to begin on her 2015 show "Missing Noir: M" and looking forward to that one. Not a fan of lovey dovey, romantic shows but really enjoy supernatural or hard boiled detective shows which is what 'M' is.
 Slowed down a bit on the posts for Korean actresses but they should be picking back up again soon. While December and January tend to be a slower period for Japanese actresses or Idols it happens to be a busier stretch in Korea. They have so many award shows around the turn of the year plus quite a few new dramas are have started or will be.


 Bo-Ah's new drama began exactly a week ago and will have more info on that at the bottom of the post. Have said it too many times to count but Korean actresses just don't appear in that many magazines, bet the reason is they don't have nearly as many in Korea as Japan. Nor do they probably have mags like WPB, Young Jump, etc. which features both actresses and Idols.
 Not a huge post as there are really only two recent events to post about but have been falling a bit for Bo-Ah lately and it's easy to see why. Her previous posts there were definitely some jaw-dropping pics from her events but have noticed she's cooled it down a bit save for one event last month which was already posted about. Do have a pair of mag spreads, will have more in future posts though all will be from years ago. This set here is from the May 2016 edition of Marie Claire.






 There is one newish Bo-Ah set which is from the September issue of Cosmopolitan.







 These are truly some conservative Bo-Ah pics but it was a prestigious event. On November 13th she was at the 6th 'Apan Star Awards' show which took place at the Kyung Hee University Hall in Seoul. Nice honor for Bo-Ah as she won the 'Best Actress Award' for her role in the "Goodbye to Goodbye" drama, it was a series that aired on Saturdays with four(!) half hour episodes.












 Bo-Ah's current drama is titled "My Strange Hero", it started on December 10th with two episodes airing on Monday and Tuesday nights. Think it will be a show I'll be checking out but first need to slog through my mile high backlog of dramas. Though Bo-Ah is 27 quite a bit of the show took place when she was a teenager though it ends up when she's an adult.






 On December 7th Bo-Ah and the main cast members were at an event for the drama at the SBS Hall in Mok-dong, Seoul. The show is broadcast on SBS and as mentioned it airs Tuesday and Wednesday nights at 10:00 pm. Plenty of superb Bo-Ah pics here from the event, not as alluring as her previous events but she still looks like a knockout to me. Instead of a video from the event have an SBS promo video for the drama which is a behind the scenes one.
