Category — Proposal Daisakusen

During the short break, I had to keep myself from watching a new drama so I watched some reruns of American Idol on GMA-7.  But lo and behold, Yamashita Tomohisa (Yamapi) was staring at me on local television!

GMA-7 aired its teasers of three Jdoramas that will be aired on Philippine tv– Nobuta Wo Produce, Proposal Daisakusen (Operation: Love) and Nodame Cantabile.  I’ve already seen all three and I’m really pleased that GMA-7 got a hold of these dramas because I guarantee you that they’re really really good.  This news got me on a high, enough to slightly overshadow my disappointment that the other channel will air my current K-drama obssession Boys Over Flowers. 

I have yet to finish my episode recaps of Proposal Daisakusen but I promise to get back to it, hopefully before the show airs on Philippine tv.
