Is it me or are the Sunday 9 pm dramas getting shorter episode wise? Again, this one is only 10 eps. 8/25/2008, 4:26 pm    Moises Moderator Global user Registered: 02-2005 Posts: 321 Quote Re: J-Drama: エジソンの母 (Mother of Edison) J-Dramas usually run 10 or 11 episodes. On occasion the number of episodes are less. The plot of the show doesn't really interest me but it has Ito Misaki and its a Sunday night so I'll watch anyways. 8/25/2008, 6:19 pm    Hiroshi66 Moderator Global user (premium) Registered: 02-2004 Location: Los Angeles, America Posts: 7428 Quote Re: J-Drama: エジソンの母 (Mother of Edison) Thanks for posting the front page, Bubu! I'm looking forward to this drama, since I usually like plots surrounding teachers and school. Ito Misaki is also one of my favorite J-drama actresses, so I'm glad that we'll be able to see her in a starring role. I think she also appeared in the first season of Gokusen (again playing a teacher). This show looks good! Looking forward for it to start. --- Wishing everyone a happy and wonderful 2009! 8/25/2008, 8:36 pm    brad6 Member Global user Registered: 07-2004 Posts: 1933 Quote Re: J-Drama: エジソンの母 (Mother of Edison) Thomas Edison was very deaf and that made him seem difficult. Howeveer it eventually did not hinder him. He was a real inventor and also able to use other people's ideas and bring them to fruition. His life was full of adventure with all sorts of important people. Most of them became very wealthy.

Helen Keller also comes to mind -- what a powerful individual who overcame the double obstacles of being both blind and deaf and became one of the most influential people in the world. The immense perseverance these people had is very inspiring. I like the title of this drama too. The summary noted that it draws inspiration from the story of Thomas Edison, so it'll be interesting to see. --- Wishing everyone a happy and wonderful 2009! 8/26/2008, 5:23 am    CantGetEnough Member Global user Registered: 06-2006 Posts: 623 Quote Re: J-Drama: エジソンの母 (Mother of Edison) class blockquote Hiroshi66 wrote: I like the title of this drama too.

It showed that Edison (whether real name or his nickname) seems to be an inventor. It looked like he was able to make the skeleton robot come alive. It looks like a very funny drama, too.   8/31/2008, 7:01 pm    Hiroshi66 Moderator Global user (premium) Registered: 02-2004 Location: Los Angeles, America Posts: 7428 Quote Re: J-Drama: エジソンの母 (Mother of Edison) Yeah, I also saw the preview that UTB has been broadcasting during their programs. It does look like a funny drama, especially with all those kids running around! In a couple of the scenes, I thought I saw Matsu****a Yuki -- she starred as the teacher in the J-drama Sekai no chuushin de, ai wo sakebu -- Crying Out Love in the Center of the World.

In Japan, it just finished airing in March of this year, so it looks like its been only about six months since the drama ended. --- Wishing everyone a happy and wonderful 2009! 9/5/2008, 1:42 pm    Add a reply Page:  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  Powered by AkBBS 0.9.5b  -  Link to us   -  Blogs   -  Hall of Honour   -  Chat Click here to get your own free message board You are not logged in (login)      1/6/2009, 7:19 pm
