After my favorite drama ended last week (Rich Man Poor Woman), besides I'm gonna miss the cute couple Hyuga and Natsui, I'm ready to welcoming new dramas for new fall season next October.
I will gladly share you a glimpse of preview for Prime Time Drama Fall Season 2012. Remember that all of the information is only based on its currently known (as of September 24th). And prime time only. While each networks doing their job promoting their new upcoming drama, it's up to you viewers to decide what you like most. As for me, it's been my habit to catch the pilot episode before I can choose and determine myself into a drama. Though its not much to find any difficulty what kind of storyline will I stick to.
If you ask me what's catchy in the list below, I can only judge by the casts alignment (I know, so lame right). A few show has already caught my heart. Let say two. Or three. And that's just because I love the leading man/lady. Trust me, my opinion will jut lead you to misguided and digression. And hold off a truly great drama.
Ready? Here we go.
MONDAY:
- PRICELESS or Aru Wake Needaro, Namon! Takuya Kimura casted as a guy living in poverty? But he still being good and positive? More like a cute guy to me. And yes, did Kimutaku ever let you down with low rating show? Okay. I'll watch. Priceless is a heartwarming comedy about a man who is struggling to get back on
his feet after reaching the absolute bottom in his life. Kimura and
Nakai have already worked together for the movie ‘HERO’ (2007), but
Karina is a new name on the list of supporting actresses. He seems to be
very enthusiastic about this drama and the Olympics inspired him to
make great teamwork his top priority for this project. It will be
interesting to see whether the viewers will be able to feel the great
teamwork and chemistry on screen as well.

- PERFECT BLUE. It’s a light-hearted crime drama starring an ambitious young actress and a German shepherd.

Director Koreeda is known throughout the world for creating movies with subtle yet deep and moving motifs such as ‘Nobody Knows’ and ‘Kiseki’. It’s his first time trying his hands on a TV drama, but so far it seems like he’s going to stay true to his style. Only he can turn an ordinary family drama into a fantastic and sweet journey into the minds of people, even more so with such an astounding cast at his disposal. I myself always weak with this kind of drama. And as far as I recall, I always end up crying watching most Jap drama with a simple theme yet great delivery.

He hates to feel restrained and lives a life without a phone, e-mails, nor the Internet in general. On the other hand, he couldn’t live without his beloved bourban and jazz music.

Inside the First Division rumor has it that Heihachi is connections to the underworld. Coincidentally this division also happens to have a new rookie named Saionji Kosuke (Yamashita) and so he’s being given the task to act as Heihachi’s new partner in order to observe him around the clock.
