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. The first few weeks there many not be too many posts for new dramas as I'll be copying many recaps from the old blog along with some film reviews and actress posts.

Won't be going too far back, perhaps to 2015 with a few exceptions and will have an entire series in a row to make it easy to follow. Did find it a problem completing series at the Nao Kanzaki blog, won't be doing that here as all the series will have a post for every episode. Thanks for visiting, it'll will be a work in progress for a while here but hopefully not for too long. Comments are also appreciated, like to know your opinions on dramas and for any recommendations you may have.

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".

Kim Ji-Won: Her intro post #3.... 2017 KBS Drama Awards pics

There's no doubt that most of us enjoy viewing Idol pics and especially ones from their photobooks but the way Korean actresses look at these awards shows is sometimes even better. The above post for Ji-Won has some mighty fine pics but these ones easily top them, can't understand why there was such a long gap for her posts.

Like every year the 2017 'KBS Drama Awards' show was held at the KBS Hall in Yeouido, Seoul. At the show Ji-Won was a presenter in the OST category. Nice honor being a presenter but the big news for Ji-Won was that she won three awards! All were from her drama "Fight for My Way" and guess it looks like it's going to be a must watch. One was the Netizen award which fans of KBS dramas and actors could vote for.
Ji-Won also won the Excellence award for her role in the drama along with a Best Couple award. Her popularity has really skyrocket these past two years and need to watch more of her things besides the pair of 'Horror Stories' films. Three awards is quite a feat but Ji-Won won four(!) of them for the 2016 drama "Descendants of the Sun". Plenty of elegant and classy pics from the ceremony which was held on December 31st, following them you can view a short video of her on the red carpet.
EDIT: Forget that video as sadly another one was deleted from YT.
