Update:
Posted on August 12th, 2010
I don’t think I will do a ‘best of Spring 2010 jdrama’ post as I didn’t find enough to make a recommendations list. Instead I will probably do combine ‘Spring/Winter 2010′ post when I’m done with a couple more I am following, since the earlier season was just as lacking.
Watched: Tsuki no Koibito, General Rouge no Gaisen, Mother, Sunao ni Narenakute, Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge, Tokujo Kabachi!!
Watching: Zettai Reido, Yankee-kun to Megane-chan, Tumbling, Ryoma-den
That said, Summer 2010 is much more promising, as I’m watching quite a few and enjoying them so far.
