Japanese Drama - JIN -仁- (OST Download)

JIN ©2009 Tokyo
Broadcasting Systems, inc
Finished watching the season one of the Japanese Drama JIN -仁-. What Can I say... absolute treat it was. Honto ni arigatho Moka San for recommending it. Usually I stay away from watching ER type dramas where doctors and nurses run around as the house (Err .. Hospital) is on fire which  looks really artificial. Well this drama  has a fair bit of that in it  yet it was not at all boring to watch and the plot takes one straightly to the Edo period in Japan with nicely done sets. looking forward to watch the Second Season.

Some background info first:

Lets see what others say:

Saioree - A Must Watch Drama 
This drama is amazing, it takes you through the role of jin in the edo (the past), the impact he made in the progress of medcine in the future, the feelings he faces as he learns to let go of miki and fearing for the future changes. this drama can teach you medical/history terms and at the same time makes you admire the courage of jin and saki. I dont think this is the only season, the ending was too open, so hopefully there’s a second season

Loved this show
I don’t think there was a single part of this show I didn’t like. The acting, the sets, the storyline. It was all so good and well done. I’d seen the lead actress in other shows, but they were comedies, I had not seen the lead actor at all before, but both did an excellent job.  

Molkisha - Inspiring
I must admit that I got caught up in the drama from the episode one! And I couldn’t wait to see the next one. Which is the result of a good ploting and an amazing atmosphere, created both by the story in itself and the actors and set. It looks like a taiga drama at first, but the feeling is very realistic and modern. What I learned from the story, besides what has already been said, is how important it is in life to pay attention to everything that is around you, and not take everything for granted - you may never know when you’ll lose something or will need to use some knowledge that you once thought you’d never have to use.

  1. From watching this on Dramacrazy. I learnt much about the Edo period and from my own interests years ago knew part of the history behind some events that took place. So to see them portrayed here in this way bought many surprises and I was 'hooked', though I'm behind in the show I loved everymoment of it. This series and now there's a second season (I hope it comes out on the sites!), I can't wait to see it on the net and subbed in english. Or I hope that TBS would sell the DVDs in subbed for us foreigners who loved Asian dramas. Thank you for a memorable series. Arigato.
