WWW ~ April 2016 Edition

After the huge amount of kdramas premiering in March, there are only a few slated for April.  Japan sure has a bunch though.


Korean dramas:
~ Master: God of Noodles
Empress:  .....that premise doesn't even make sense. And the title irritates me. XD
Ambassador:  Not particularly interested, especially since it doesn't have any actors that I know.  Plus, my Wed/Thur slot is plenty full enough right now.  *hyperventilates because it's time for more Descendants of the Sun*
Unni:  I’ll be honest, anything with babies and food will catch my attention, this plot sounds interesting. I’ll probably watch for ratings and see how things are going before I jump in. But this sounds really cool.
Empress:  *dies* well, we couldn't have gotten more different answers there...XD lolllll
Ambassador:  *laughing*  Readers, again you behold the world of difference that sometimes exists in the drama choices of the three of us. :D


~ Working Mom, Parenting Daddy
Empress:  Not terribly interested, based on the title alone...I feel like it's been done before....
Ambassador:  No synopsis plus this title means NOPE, nothing to catch or hold my interest.
Unni:  Not really attention getting here.


~ The Flower in Prison
Empress:  Hmmm....there are so many March dramas I'm watching/want to watch...in another time I might check it out....
Ambassador:  Yes, at some point, because I want to see Jin Se-yeon in something that isn't Korean-rebel-during-the-Japanese-Occupation related (Bridal Mask, Inspiring Generation) and see if I like her any better.  PLUS, it has Kim Mi-sook, who I like a lot.
Unni:  This sounds really cool, again so many things on my plate right now but this goes on the radar.
Empress:  *we all stick this on the list* XD


~ Entertainer
Empress:  I was like eh...and then I saw the trailer....and 1) that is the most /cheerful/ trailer I've seen in ages 2) JI SUNG. I realized at that point I hadn't even fully read through the drama description or who was gonna be in it. I'm tempted now, though....for sure it's going on my list. XD
Ambassador:  At some point, /yes/, because Ji Sung is a great actor and Minhyuk is also good.
Unni:  Too much going on, not my typical interest.
Empress:  Ji Sung, Unni...'sall I'm sayin'...though now that I think about it, I've only seen him in two dramas...but the man can act...though yeah, this isn't my normal type of plot...{neither was the last one I saw him in though...}
Ambassador:  Yesss, JI SUNG.  Plus Minhyuk from CNBlue.  You'll like his acting a lot, Unni.  (I can't remember if you've seen him in anything else or not?)


Chinese dramas:
~ Ode to Joy
Empress:  :) I'm not enough of a fan of Chinese Dramas to check that out....
Ambassador:  Nah, not my kind of thing, though if its popularity is huge, I might check it out.
Unni:  Interesting. This could be really good or very sour. Watch ratings, and then invest...maybe.


Taiwanese dramas:
~ Love at Seventeen
If you could go back and have the chance to do it over, would you?  [It appears to be about several characters getting to go back to being 17?]
Empress:  O.o re/peat/ being 17? I'd rather not...
Ambassador:  Nahhh, not my kind of thing.
Unni:  Hmmmmmmmmmmmm Taiwanese. This looks like it could be a lot of fun.


Japanese dramas:
~ Toto Nee-chan
Empress:  Innnnnnnteresting....though again, it might take more than adoring Bloody Monday to get me watch some Japanese dramas...
Ambassador:  Maybe some day.  It has an interesting premise, but nothing that immediately grabs me.
Unni:  Sounds more complicated than I want to get.


~ Love Song
Empress:  It sounds somewhere between cute and heartbreaking...with Japan you never know....but not enough to grab me...
Ambassador:  Nahhhh, not interested.
Unni:  Nope. Just no.
Empress:  lol, you guys...okay, it does sound awfully painful, doesn't it...
Ambassador:  It just sounds a bit... slow to me. :)


~ Dias Police: Ihou Keisatsu
Empress:  That...actually sounds really interesting. Though I'm still probably more interested in watching the Japanese Liar Game first....
Ambassador:  YES.  Intriguing plot + Shota Matsuda.
Unni:  Okay. This sounds cool. If it gets really good ratings I’ll probably try it and make it my first Japanese drama.
Empress:  I still need to get you to watch Bloody Monday.... :)
Ambassador:  *evil laughter track plays*


~ Saigo no Restaurant
Empress:  .......I'm kind of really curious if Julius Caeser and Joan of Arc are Japanese or how that will work.....possibly not curious to check it out, though. {I have to get through the dramas I'm currently watching...}
Ambassador:  YES, most definitely.  It sounds hilarious and all anyone has to do is say the name of any one of the historical people on the cast list and tada! my attention is caught.
Unni:  Okay! This sounds cool and super fun! I just might have to take a serious peek at this one.
Empress:  ...I'll wait to hear the opinion of you two. XD


~ Nezumi, Edo wo Hashiru Season 2
Empress:  This makes me curious just because of a book I'm reading... :D I think I'll put it on my list.
Ambassador:  Absolutely YES, which necessitates watching Season 1, too.
Unni:  I haven’t watched season one, most likely am not going to jump into season two. So no?
Empress:  See, that's what I thought about Mrs. Cop 2, which I am currently completely loving. But if it's like jumping into Season 2 of Bloody Monday... :P yeah, I'd have to watch season 1 first...
Ambassador:  I think it's more like Bloody Monday in that regard.  Mrs Cop 2 and Vampire Prosecutor/Vampire Detective- they're both shows whose seasons can stand alone.  Bloody Monday's can't and I don't think this one's can either.


~ Doctor Car
Empress:  What. I think this may be a failure in synopsis-writing...because I feel like that should be more interesting than it sounds....
Ambassador:  Mmmm, maybe at some point but it's a long way in the future.
Unni:  Interesting, but I don’t really have the time.


~ Doctor Chousahan
Empress:  Were it not for the fact that I tend to really NOT like medical dramas at all, I would check this one out.
Ambassador:  Sounds pretty interesting.  Possibly at some point.
Unni:  Interesting, but I already have too many dramas’ on my watch list to make me want to add this one too.


~ Our House
Empress:  That actually sounds interesting enough that I might put it on my list... :D
Ambassador:  Not sure when, but yes.  It sounds like it could be fun and thought-provoking.
Unni:  This could prove to be veeeeeery interesting.


~ 99.9%
Empress:  This makes me curious...I'm not really in a mood for legal dramas right now, though.
Ambassador:  It's going on my list because premise + Matsumoto Jun, but it's far enough down that I won't get to it for several months.
Unni:  Interesting but courtrooms aren't really my interest.


~ Tamiou Special
Empress:  Wow. Um...I think it would depend hugely on the actors involved and if they could sell it...I think there would be a tendency to overact and possibly be really lame...plus I'm not sure how clean the storyline will end up being. It could be done really well, though...
Ambassador:  This sounds terrifically hilarious.  Yes, I'll be watching it.
Unni:  *Giggles* Switching body stories are hilarious....but I have so much on my plate. Maybe if the Ambassador says it’s beyond good without giving spoilers.


~ Kagero Ezu Special
Empress:  Haha...That sounds interesting, Ambassador, no? XD That's actually the same title as a 1959 Japanese mystery movie, though I can't find a synopsis of it. I wonder if they're related....
Ambassador:  Um.  Harem.  Edo.  DUH, YES.
Unni:  LOL This is SUCH AN AMBASSADOR SERIES!!! I’ll leave it with her.
Ambassador:  (I'm laughing at how you both immediately knew I'd be watching it, before I'd said anything.  Our friendship is hilariously great.)


~ Night Hero Naoto
Empress:  I have so many masked hero stories already on my list... :)
Ambassador:  Ehhh, maybe.
Unni:  Interesting idea. Probably won't watch.


~ Kiseki no Hito
Empress:  Somehow this sounds like a very Japanese plot line...I might put it on my list just because I'm curious...
Ambassador:  Color me quite intrigued.  Yes, I'll be watching it.
Unni:  Seems like an interesting idea, but doesn't catch my interest enough.



What April dramas will each of you be watching?
