Well, you know I get worked up every time a new season of drama is on the way -- there's so much to look forward to! Oricon asked people which ones they were looking most forward to this Fall, and it was no surprise to me to see Liar Game 2 riding high on that list -- in addition to being a good show, it features the rather scrumptious pairing of Erika Toda and my soon-to-be husband, Matsuda Shota.
Other highly anticipated shows included Tokyo Dogs, which is apparently so awesome it's making the male cast members fall in love with each other, Fumo Chitai, Aibou Season 8 and Otomen: Fall. I've heard nothing but disappointing things about Otomen, so I haven't watched any of that one, but a few the others I'm interested in made it to the later part of the top ten, including My Girl with Arashi's Aiba Masaki and Samurai High School with the drool-worthy Miura Haruma.
Frankly, I'm excited -- it looks like the best season in a while. If you're thinking about getting into j-drama, now's a good time. Which ones are you looking forward to?
