Shomuni

[Geezer]

Is there something wrong with cleavage?

Oh, and I'm with keps:

Kyono Kotomi is Sawako Tsukahara of Shomuni.

She was just pretending in Kuitan.

Not if there's talent to go along with it.

When it's the refrigerator repairman's butt cleavage, hell yeah. (Geezer, you're old enough to perhaps recognize this reference)

*whoosh* <- Sound of the above reference flying over keps' head.

Finished series 1 today. This was such a satisfying drama. Loved it!
A wonderful set of characters...well, maybe except for Ikami. I found him wet and irksome (as I'm sure he was supppsed to be ).
And having Sawako's dad in just one episode was a TRAVESTY.

I hope I'm not setting you up for a letdown, but I honestly think Shomuni 2 is the best of the 3. Enjoy!!!

Ooooooooo so the second season is better than the first, eh? That's rare!

Yes it is! But with Shomuni 2 all the characters were established, the writers tightened everything up a notch and the actors kept pace.

In the early days of Saturday Night Live, there was a skit in which Dan Ackroyd played a refrigerator repairman making a service call. For much of the skit, he had his back turned to the audience, exposing butt cleavage spilling over his waistband.

I have to agree with gaijinmark; the second season is better than the first. This is especially notable because the first season was very good to begin with, so topping it is a considerable accomplishment.

Oh...I don't think we've ever had that show here.
Somehow though, I'm not too sorry I missed acres of bum.

I think I'm going to watch another drama before Shomuni 2...think I'll enjoy it more after a break.
Abscence makes the heart grow fonder, and all that.

I'm currently d/loading via emule 3 files entitled syomuni_SP_2000_A.rmvb, syomuni_SP_2000_B.rmvb, syomuni_SP_forever.rmvb I'm assuming these are the 2 specials and Shomuni Forever. I don't know anything about these files, but once they're d/loaded (it will be awhile), I'll let you guys know.

So did you find out what these were?

That is exactly how I did it. I didn't want to get to burnt out on Shomuni. And when I would start it after watching something else, it was like visiting some old friends you hadn't seen for awhile.

Yes, syomuni_SP_2000_A.rmvb & syomuni_SP_2000_B.rmvb turned out to be the Spring special (in two parts) with the story about Y2K...the English subs, available here: http://www.d-addicts.com/forum/viewtopic_6901.htm are for this special...I could never get them to synch...
syomuni_SP_forever.rmvb is, as suspected, Shomuni Forever...it has hardsubs, Chinese I think, but I have been unable to find English subs anywhere...

That makes sense.

@ runpup - thanks for the heads up.

[Keps]

Talk about pampered...(by Ikami, that is. )

Edit for clarification.

[gaijinmark]

But the cat is just as much a part of it as any of the actors. If they did another one without the cat, it WOULDN'T be Shomuni

Currently DL season 1!
Looking really forward watching this after reading all the promising J-dorama comments!
I�Lll start working again after a two-year break next week and let�Ls just hope I won�Lt end up in the basement after one week.

I wasn't complaining about the cat! I like him! I was referring to the way he is totally babied by Ikami.

Ooh Esther, you're in for a treat. Believe the hype.
Be sure you come back to this thread and let us know what you think when you start watching.

And...good luck with your new job!

Gomen K-chan I know you weren't complaining, I guess I need to do a better job of expressing myself

@ Esther, YES, enjoy the ride with Shomuni and good luck with your new job!!!

^ No worries, gaijinmark. I probably should've explained what I meant better.
