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".

Kang Han-Na: Her impeccable and wondrous second intro post!

 


 Posts for Korean actresses are the least viewed posts here save for most drama reviews though her first one shocked me on how popular it's been yet still won't hit he top ten for most views. Have probably mentioned it too often which is the fact that an individual needs six posts to qualify for the yearly faves list. But have also said it was tweaked a bit to help some become eligible as it's tough for certain gals to hit six solo posts. For Idols said four solo posts plus a whole slew of pics in their group posts but all Idols who will make the list did hit that magic number of six.

 Also did that tweaking for Korean actresses as it's so tougher for them compared to their counterparts from Japan to hit six though some do. So they also needed four solo posts of say 50+ pics and also have well over a hundred in drama recaps which did make one person qualify. That number will be doubled to two as there's no doubt Han-Na will have five posts by the time the list starts. She has moved up so rapidly on my faves list, have had my eye on her for years yet never did do any posts. Kind of my fault for that as she has been a woman I've liked immensely but then again it's impossible to do all of the posts that I'd like to. The cutoff date for qualifying will be November 20th so will attempt to have three more posts for Han-Na in the next two weeks though she really would need only two.



 What position she'll make is unknown and it's not a lock Han-Na will make the list but it's something you could bet the mortgage on. That'll make 26 to be eligible, if the total hits 28 then will make the list twenty and will have a intro post or two just to let you know where things stand. Han-Na got her hair cut for her role in the current "Start-Up" drama and to me that could put her in the top five for most beautiful woman, I'm in awe on how perfect she looks. 

 Then again she looked quite amazing with her long tresses and almost all of today's pics will be of the longer length. Here's a few screenshots from episode's five and six from the drama, her character of
In-Jae is quite an intelligent business woman yet is also such a conniving person, perhaps they go hand in hand? Also saw her in the "Miss Korea" drama which was her first biggish role, that aired at the end of 2013, beginning of 2014 but need to find a few more shows where she has a large role.












 There's going to be no order to these intro posts, there will be some current pics in all of them such as these from the set of "Start-Up". But the majority of pics will be from late 2013 until 2019 as there's so many older happenings to get to.






 At 31 years in age Han-Na is the second oldest woman to be introduced, like so many actresses from Korea she began her career a bit late as she attended college and did get a degree in Theater. Do remember her slightly from the "Miss Korea" as she did look dazzling in a swimsuit and think I'll need to view that show again. As I say in every post the spreads for Korean actresses are usually way too small plus there's not nearly as many mags in Korea as there are in Japan. But should be able to have a set or two in each post, this small batch is from the the February 2014 Oh Boy!.





 This next set is a partial spread as it's from the web mag Ize that came out in February 2014 but the pics were also for an interview Han-Na did for "Miss Korea".








 You can add Radio DJ to the list of Han-Na's talents as she's currently hosting a show. It's called 'Volume Up, Tension Up and Listen Up' that began on January 6th and the show airs on KBS Cool FM. It airs every night at 8:10 pm but think quite often her segments are recorded beforehand. Have some dandy pics from a mini January 6th event for the show and also some of her hosting it. There's quite a few videos at the KBS YT channel of when Han-Na has hosted the show live which she will do at least a few times a week, here's the link to it: KBS YT Channel

















 It's okay that there's never enough mag spreads for I've always much preferred the way they look at events. Han-Na has appeared at a huge amount of them over the years so that's something to look forward to in all of her posts. This final set of pics may be the oldest ones I'll ever post as they're close to seven years old. The occasion was the second 'Daejeon Drama Festival Awards' show which is also referred to as APAN, it took place on November 16, 2013. Han-Na was kind of new at the time so she wasn't up for any awards though if they gave one out for being the best and most alluring dressed....
Do have a short clip after the pics from the event featuring her as an awards presenter.
