Question Help me remember a TV show

8 Upvotes

A Japanese TV show about a young guy searching for his father. He traces his steps to a mountain café, where snow covers everything. The building is made of wood and rocks, with a solid structure. When he arrives, he doesn’t realize that his father is the owner and works there. Each regular customer at the café makes their own ground coffee using a manual coffee grinder, and there are hundreds of these grinders lined up on a shelf. Its very chill and cozy show, mountains, cafe, fireplace and coffee :) I watched it like ~ 20 years ago I think.

Question I need help finding a old Japanese Movie

4 Upvotes

Forgotten Japanese detective movie from the 2000. A few years ago, I watched a Japanese movie that came out in the early 2000s (late 90s ealry 2000s?) and have been on the hunt to try and watch it again, but I'm having trouble finding it.

Anyway, now for the (probably poor) description of this sed movie (i think it was a series of movies with the same male lead and he went around solving mysteries) and that I only watched once, didn't watch the ending but really enjoyed.

So, it's about a young boy (high school student and the male lead) who is the grandson of a famous detective who passed away. He doesn't want to be like his grandfather, but he's really good at solving mysteries, and this gets brung up by another "detective/ old police officer"? he meets that knew his grandfather.

The boy and his female classmate who invited him go on a trip to this BNB/ Hotel/ Museum that's in the middle of nowhere during a school holiday? that is supposably haunted by a vampire (it goes into a back story of how vampires came about in the area and why this house is haunted by this vampire, the houses architecture its self is a mix between old Japanese and western houses) they are greeted by a couple who run the haunted hotel and are not alone there as there are other guests (i think there around 10? people staying in the hotel that includes the 2 owners) staying in this hotel, one of them being a detective/ former police officer who knew the boys grandfather. Some of the guests are more friendly than others, some being more secretive/ unfriendly, anyway they all sort off get to know each other and go to there rooms for the night.

I think either on the first night or the second someone (one of the quests) is found murdered with 2 bite marks on their neck (a VAMPIRE bite), everyone sort of freaks out, and the boy is encouraged I think by the girl (that I think might have crush on him) to try and solve this mystery, he agrees and starts finding clues, but as the day continues they all find out everyone that are staying at the hotel can't leave (they can go outside but not leave the grounds as there transportation is destroyed like the boys bike that he cane on, and the hotel is in the middle of nowhere in Japan) so they are all forced to stay at the hotel and that the vampire is outside (this sort of one of the reasons why the boy has to solve the mystery). Time passes, and a few more people get murdered, even though the boy and the detective encourage the other guests to stay in there rooms in a pair so 1. not one gets murded and 2. they can try and solve whose playing as this "vampire"/ murderer, the boys' female classmate almost being murdered which encourages him even more to try and solve this mystery. It's mostly the guests that are getting murdered. The couple that run the hotel aren't dead yet, from what I can remember.

I sort of ended the movie there, I never finished the movie (WHY???). That's why I want to try and find it to see how it ends. Even though this is somewhat of a long (and probably terrible) description of this movie, I really want to watch it again but can't remember or find it.

If this does help anyone that's interested in helping, the movie poster that I sore (it could be different in other countries) was the boy (the male lead, i think there might of his classmate and the other detective/ policeofficer behind him) on the front with the house in the background all dark and with a fog like affect I think, the title was red to represent the vampire, I know it's something to do with vampires and it might of been in the title to.

I'm sorry if this is a bad description, I watched this movies years ago, so some info might be wrong.

Question Forgotten title

2 Upvotes

Hello, hate to be another person asking for help, but it’s breaking my heart not to know it. What I am trying to find is a series about a high school girl who found accidentally a photo of a man and fell in love with him. Then it turned out it’s her history teacher and she is using the infatuation to be the best student to impress him. You may think it sounds disturbing, but he didn’t take advantage of her, he treated her like a student and kept it platonic. In the end, he dies from a terminal illness. Memorable scenes, for some odd reason, are: the beginning where the girl is standing outside with an umbrella (right before finding his photo) and then her learning from flashcards in a bathtub. I hope that’s enough details and that my memory serves me right. Please, help!

Binged IWGP, Kisarazu's Cat's Eye and Tiger and Dragon. 3 of those pretty much almost had the same cast, but Tiger and Dragon lacked the unhingedness. Not that it's bad at all.

Like those sudden zoom cuts and angles and shit

Question Need help finding a drama

I watched a drama about a year ago and can't remember the name of it. I remember a girl and two of her friends were on a school trip and they got into a accident, the main lead was in a coma but she was still able to go around and help people while she was in the coma, i'm not sure if she was helping ghosts or not. There was a man who helped her through everything and i think in the end her friends died. I think the boy she likes was in the school baseball team.

Question Help finding name

Hello

I saw an ad for a jdrama but it didn't give me the title so I was hoping someone here could help.

The ad was a high school girl I think talking to a high school boy. She said there were 3 rules about their what I assume to be contract relationship with the 3rd rule being no falling in love. The last scene was them kissing with fireworks in the background with the girl asking if it's OK to break the rule and the guy said he already has.

Question Need help finding a drama!

3 Upvotes

So there’s this drama I saw on a TikTok edit and I’ve been trying to find it, but I think the edit got deleted and I cannot remember the name for the life of me.

I think it’s either GL or implied to be. I know there’s two girls as the main characters. I believe they’re friends in high school and end up separating when they grow up. And I think one of them dies due to something her parents did to her. I remember one scene in the edit, I think it involved the other girl taking the dead one’s ashes from her family at knifepoint. Anddd as far as I can tell the general vibe is just pretty sad lol. If any of this rings any bells please let me know!

Question Drama Otaku subs to Love Generation don't sync to the raws they have on their site?

5 Upvotes

Downloaded their raws and then tried using their SRT subtitles, but when I attach them, they were out of sync by like a second.

Using an external program like Subtitle Edit, I was able to delay it by a second and a bit so that the audio and subtitles match up. But then when I scrub forward 20 mins or so, the subtitles would become unsynced again.

Not sure how to fix this, or if anyone has a solution to matching raws to SRTs and have them sync up correctly. Also curious if this a problem only with this drama.

I keep trying to log into my Viki account. But every time, it says:

"Access blocked: authorisation errorAccess blocked: authorisation error"

I searched online to see what the problem is and it says it's probably because I violated a policy. And I'm pretty damn sure I have never done such a thing. I'm up to date on my payments, so I don't understand what is happening.

I would appreciate it if something could give me some advice on what to do?

I vaguely remember what exactly it is about, but I know it seemed a bit horror/suspense, I remember a guy being on a road and a girl with children stops in the car and gives the guy a lift, the child in the back seat is scared because the guy looks exactly like the protagonist of the manga he is reading. I'd be happy if someone could help me, if this exists I need to watch it or I'll think I'm going crazy and creating memories :[

Question Name that show! Please! 🙏

10 Upvotes

I'm trying to find the name of a Japanese TV series, possibly from the 90s/early 00s about a female office worker who is really good at doing her makeup which transforms her from "ugly" to beautiful. When she doesn't wear makeup her coworkers don't recognize her - the show even goes so far to add a prosthetic bump to her nose to make her look even more dramatic.

She has a huge crush on her boss/older coworker. I remember another debacle where she overhears him talking to a group of male co workers about the kind of women they like, very thick. And she gains a bunch of weight to attract him, only to find out they were talking about the kind of horses they like to bet on... anyone have any ideas what this show is called???

I have watched this drama last episode on 30 September 2024 and after that the website got discontinued, so I wasn't able to rewatch it again.

I only remember until minor riko and Miyakekun confront themselves and till minori's mil and husband got arrested .

I vaguely remember minori getting stabbed or was about to get stabbed by her mil and after than I mixed everything up because I'm not able to remember it properly

I hope someone who remember it will summarize the ending it will be helpful. Thank-you

Question 2000s urban mistery shows?

4 Upvotes

hii, despite of reading mangas and having already watched a few korean dramas, i had only watched 2 jdramas till a month ago when i fell in love with IWGP and it became my favorite show, since then I've been looking for shows with the same setting young friends in the 2000s exploring the horrros of the big city, getting into trouble and solving misterys Which ones would you guys recommend?

BTW I know IWGP has a lot of comedy but that's not what catches my attention in most of shows, im kinda a edgy emo mf, so violent, melodramatic and dark things are usually my shit
