2014 Winter Season Dramalist

Hey hey hey! It's the new year and that means a new season of dramas! There aren't a lot of dramas this season that interest me, but I'm super excited for the ones that do because most of them star my favourite actors and actresses :D This is a list for me and a list that might help add some dramas to your Winter watchlist ;) This list is of course not final because I'm always going to end up dropping a drama or maybe even picking one up. I'm probably going to do a midway impressions just like I did for the last fall season and then do reviews on certain dramas.

Again, I didn't place any Kdramas on here because the scheduling is a little bit different. There are a lot of unfinished Kdramas currently so yeah lol.

Anyways, no more blabbing, lets get on to the list after the jump!

Shitsuren Chocolatier

Japanese Title: 失恋ショコラティエ

Start: January 13th / Time: 21:00 / Channel: FUJI TV

Cast: Matsumoto Jun, Ishihara Satomi, Mizukawa Asami, Mizobata Junpei, Mizuhara Kiko, Arimura Kasumi, and more

Synopsis:

The drama depicts the strenuous efforts of Koyurugi Souta (Matsumoto) trying to win over the heart of the sometimes mischievous Saeko (Ishihara), who he has fallen in love with at first sight. He even decides to become the best chocolatier there is in order to get her to love him as much as she loves chocolate. His plan fails as she continues to give him the cold shoulder and as time passes, she eventually marries another man. However, this doesn't stop him from loving her and from making chocolate.

Thoughts:

Okay, don't be surprised but I have never watched a Matsumoto Jun drama other than Kimi Wa Petto. That one was kinda bad lol but I've always like Matsu-Jun so I've decided to pick up this drama. The premise sounds interesting and I just so happen to love Shoujo manga a lot (this drama is based on a manga). Ishihara Satomi is also one of my fave actresses so I'm super excited to see how this drama will turn out! From the looks of the teaser, it's looking like a rom-com :D

Thoughts:

OMFG OMFG OBVIOUSLY I'M GONNA WATCH THIS ONE CUZ MIURA HARUMA IS MY TOP TOP TOP OF THE LIST BIAS!!!! I'm sorry I just can't talk about Miura Haruma without using caps most of the time lol. Anyways, even though I hate sad dramas, I'm going to watch this one because it not only has my top bias Miura Haruma, but also Tabe Mikako!!! If you guys didn't know, Kimi Ni Todoke was the movie that got me into Japanese entertainment and culture! So I will always have a soft spot for that couple :D
