Upcoming Autumn 2008 Japanese Drama

Some Summer 2008 Japanese Dramas have come to an end. So let's see what are the upcoming Autumn 2008 Japanese Drama that i might watch. Haha.

1. Innocent Love [Monday 21:00]


Based on the title, this drama is more or less a romance drama. Starred by Horikita Maki (Hanazakari no Kimitachi e) and Kitagawa Yujin (not familiar with this actor).

Synopsis: An arson took it all away from Akiyama Kanon seven years ago. Her parents died in that fire, her brother was arrested as the prime suspect and her carefree life disappeared from that instant. She was shunned by the town as the sister of a murderer, yet she believes in her brother's innocence and often pays him visits with words of encouragement. As life gets harder when nobody is willing to give her a job, Kanon decides to try her luck in the city and there she meets the man of her destiny...


2. Oh! My Girl!! [Tuesday 22:00] - starting from October 14
Is categorized as a comedy drama.The main cast is Hayami Mokomichi (Zettai Kareshi) - who is the only cast that i am familiar with.

Synopsis: Yamashita Kotaro was living a peaceful life as a publisher part-timer pretending to be a mobile phone novelist until two females suddenly appeared in his life. One is his six-year-old celebrity niece and the other is the little girl's stern manager. As he is forced to live under the same roof as the little prodigy, their differences soon manifest and disputes ensue. However, through co-habitation, Yamashita slowly comes to appreciate having a family and the warmth it brings, all the while developing a love-hate relationship with Takamine Mineko, the manager.

Other casts: Kota Rosa, Yoshida Riko

3. Ryusei no Kizuna [Friday 22:00] - starting from October 17



Synopsis: Based on the popular novel of the same name, Ryusei no Kizuna tells the story of three orphans, whose parents were murdered long ago. Together, the three vowed on a shooting star to one day avenge their parents. After many years, the two brothers have found the murderers, and are set to carry out their plan for vengeance when they realize they've made a serious miscalculation; you see, their sister...

A suspense drama. I suppose this drama will slowly lead us how the 3 siblings find the murderers of their parents but in the end there is a kind of twist?

Casts: Nishikido Ryo , Toda Erika, Ninomiya Kazunari

4. Bloody Monday [Saturday 19:56] - starting from October 11

Miura Haruma as the main cast! He acts as a genius hacker who target on terrorist organization. A suspense drama as well. Perhaps this drama is kind of Kurosagi type - which we will see how Miura uses different kind of techniques to deal with his "opponents"?
