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. 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".

Jo Bo-Ah: Few recent happenings part one....



 Here's someone who hasn't had a post in eons but that was the case for so many of my fave Korean actresses until recently. Seemed from April until November only two of my top 10+ actresses were doing much of anything but that's all changed. Since December at least five have had a new drama begin and there's two more faves with a drama starting up this month. So expect many more posts coming up for Korean actresses and dramas, while they're not as popular as Nogi posts(whose are?) the posts have been getting many more views than they once did.


 Titled this 'part one' as I expect to have another post for Bo-Ah by Thursday. Think there's a few new modeling pics and while there's no new mag spreads will dust off a few oldies which have never been posted here before. Plus will also have some ultra perfect Bo-Ah pics from the '2020 Seoul Music Awards' show which took place two days ago, does she look stunning or what?!





 Some pics from AHC cosmetics that came out in December.





 Bo-Ah also had a CM for the company that came out that month. To promote the CM which was for a new product called 'Real Time Eye Cream' she attended an event on December 10th at Pier 59 in Seoul and once again made many hearts(mine) flutter....

















 It was almost a year between Bo-Ah dramas but she has two this year, her next one will be coming out in the Summer. Wednesday her new series 'Forest" began and it really appears to be an odd show. Watched the first two episodes, would have watched the next two but the subs haven't been done yet. In the series Bo-Ah plays a surgical resident named Young-Jae who while quite smart has been slacking off in her performance.
 The main character or at least to date has been Kang who is an exec at a very prestigious company. But he has some serious problems such as having nightmares about being in a forest fire and can't recall why he has them. Those nightmares have become quite severe and he ended up in the hospital where Young-Jae works. He happened to steal her coffee by mistake one day at the hospital which is how they met, seemed their first encounters were always about coffee. Will get more into the plot in her next post but the main story is how the two end up living in a forest together. Towards the end of the second show Young-Jae had been transferred to a remote hospital for her poor performance, she's wandering around lost in a forest and think is about to meet up with Kang again. Kind of a slow start but the story seems strange enough to keep your attention, these are from the first two shows and will have more from episodes three and four in the next post.
















 Like so many actresses Bo-Ah really shines at events and you could say I prefer pics from them over Idol spreads from magazines. The drama began on January 29th and that afternoon there was a press conference held for it at the Ramada Shinolim, Hotel in Seoul. The drama airs Wednesday and Thursday nights on MBS at 10:00 pm. Plenty of super duper pics from the event and that description suits most Bo-Ah pics, there's a few videos from the event but didn't think any were that good so will skip having one. But do have a terrific CM from Sam Chuly Bicycles that came out last March and has over a million views.
