Surprise, surprise! In spite of what appeared to be a Jdrama drought (one that has lasted many a season, with a short reprive brought by Jin 2), I found myself enjoying 2 of this season's offering.

One is Ikemen Desu Ne, which, strictly speaking, isn't a Jdorama more than a 1-for-1 remake of the Kdrama less the original punchlines.

Besides, I'm really watching more for the ikemen (namely the guy from HSJ and the guy from Kis-My-Ft2, not that lead) than the storyline, which is fresh when newly presented in the Kdrama but cannot withstand scrutiny of the flaws.

But this one, this one which I had just discovered, is the kind of subtle romcom Jdoramas do so well.

Zenkai Girl.

Starring my beloved Ryo and Gakky.

( Spoilery caps under the cut! )

Watch this drama for:

• Sizzling chemistry between Ryo and Gakky, like really
• Warm fuzzy moments between the kids and their parents/sitters
• Bickering between the girl and Gakky
• Believable plot
• NISHIKIDO RYO =D
