News no Onna

For some reason i really like this dorama. I realize over these past few months i haven’t even posted or anything, and the dramas i watched lessened. This dorama news no onna was very heartfelt. I liked the how the storyline went and the end, it wasn’t a generic ending. Each episode had a profound meaning, and like the last episode it wasn’t always what you expected. Aso Tamaki the newscaster played by Suzuki Honami was really good. She was also really really pretty in my eyes. Although this drama is well over 10 years ago, portrayal of her was beautiful. And as i wikipedia her it seems news no onna was her second last drama, and it seems she just faded away sadly. It also came to my attention, that jdramas just aren’t what they used to be anymore for the most part. As time progresses, the viewers want something different and i guess that happens. There just doesn’t seem to be any heartfelt ones about everyday life as Hero, Slow Dance or Love Generation. It seems to me after a certain period from early 1990s to early 2000s the quality of Dramas aren’t as epic.
