More about the vague purpose of my almost pointless blog

Thinking about getting this blog started, I suddenly realised that I may not have enough time to sufficiently write about Jdramas cos as it stands right now, I struggle to watch jdramas with the limited time I have. 

So I will do my best with whatever I do watch (and am passionate about) but for the most part, I think I will be just offering thoughts that are too long to be comments on other people's blogs namely, AkiraMike's one.

This blog will mainly feature jdramas that Mike has probably not watched/won't watch, so as his drama reviews are really thorough, it would be better for everyone to go to his blog for reference (if he doesn't mind). Unless I hold an extremely different opinion to him on a particular drama or I am really passionate about the drama myself to the point where I have to write up my own follow up!

As I have started rather late with this whole blogging business, I think I may write up some reviews for some older jdramas for jdorama beginners or for those who are sick of korean dramas and want to move onto something a little less time consuming and mind-numbing.

Occasionally (although I really doubt it with the quality of tvb dramas these days), I might touch on some hk dramas and taiwanese/ chinese olden day (wuxia) dramas which are the deadliest for me because if I ever watch one that's decent I typically become too engrossed and suffer really bad withdrawal symptoms and just feel like teleporting back to that time and morphing into one of the characters or just become an invisible character witnessing the story. I may also write up some reviews for the older ones of those too.

If anyone wants a review on newer dramas/ current episodes of the latest ones, you can request it from me and I will try my best to write one up. 

Aside from dramas, I was considering to create another blog about all other stuff especially information about restaurants, cafes, shopping for those who may need ideas on where to eat and have nice coffee in a somewhat extremely multicultural but also quite limited Melbourne. 

I welcome any ideas/thoughts/feedback on how I should run this blog and whatever other blog I may create.


Here I go!

The Beginning

I can't believe it myself... but I have finally entered the world of bloggers.

It all happened after I was referred to as Anon 1 on AkiraMike's blog, and so a chain of events has led me to create an account of my own of which I'm unsure of whether I will maintain properly or not.

I finally decided to post my comment with a username because I just didn't think it was fair to remain anonymous while the generous Mike has responded genuinely to a rant I made on his turf. So I wanted to express my sincere apologies to Mike for not having subscribed to his blog earlier. I was afraid of being judged by drama indulgers with what I might have to say but I don't think that's really important anymore because I guess a blog is just really a space for people to share their thoughts. I also wanted to express my gratitude for leading me to watch such an awesome drama like "Soredemo Ikiteyuku".

After re-watching it the other week, it has undeniably reaffirmed the masterpiece as the most consistent and wonderfully put-together jdrama that I have ever watched. If it weren't for your blog, I would have never thought about giving it a go. So thanks for the recommendation!

When I think about all this properly, this is all happening because I hated episode 4 of Woman so much! So in a way, the screenwriter and director of EP4 Woman has altered the flow of my life dramatically!

I'm not sure if I will be a proper blogger, but for the time being, I will not be anonymous on Mike's blog anymore! Hope there will be many more great jdramas awaiting us on the same scale of Soredemo!
