EasyDrama + Company

The main character of this drama, Amemiya Hotaru, is played by the beautiful and well-known Ayase Haruka. It’s pretty interesting to see her play this role because her roles are usually (but not always) more serious like in Byakyuyakou and Sekachu. In this drama though, she plays a more laid back type of person who has two different identities. At work, Hotaru seems like an office lady who is always nice and tidy and gets her work done on time, but at home she is a mess and lays around in training wear and old clothes and does just about nothing at all.

All in all, I thought it was a pretty good romantic comedy. For the full synopsis, check out: http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Hotaru_no_Hikari

These subs were created by DoReMii fansubs and all credit goes to them for translating this series. It’s been over 2 weeks since I tried contacting them through D-Addicts and their main website but have I yet to receive a response from them about using their subs. It seems like their main focus is in Chinese and other dramas at the moment. If permission is later denied then I will remove the subs from the video and make it available as a separate download.

Update: Episode 9 and 11 are now fixed and available online! Thank you poisondeathray for helping me with this problem!

During this past week I was able to finish re-timing the subs for Bloody Monday episode 9 but later I noticed that episode 9 also has some video flickering issues like episode 11 as well. I use x264 for all of my encodes and have tried several different revisions but nothing seem to be able to fix this problem. I have uploaded a clip of the error for anyone who might be able to solve this.

I have asked a few people who do video encoding including people from D-Addicts as well but they also can’t seem to figure it out. If anyone knows how to solve this please let me know! I would like to finish these 2 episode and make them available as soon as possible. For those who are waiting, episode 9 and 11 WILL be up by the end of the week even if it means switching to another video encoder. Anyone who wishes it to be encoded using x264 and can solve this problem please let me know soon!

It has been brought to my attention that episode 11 had the wrong subtitles muxed with it and after checking the file I found that to be the case. Being an one-person encoding team, a episode or two manage to get by me every once in awhile. Thank you EpsilonX for finding this problem. As always, if you happen to come across any errors in EasyDrama’s encodes, please let us know on the contact page.

I think that Bloody Monday was a really good drama and I think that TimeLesSub did a great job for the SD hardsubbed version of it which is also available for download on this site as well. I have previewed all of the episodes using the softsubs with the HD RAWS and everything works fine except for episode 9 which cuts off about the first half minute of the episode causing it to be out of sync with the subs. Episode 11 also has some video flicker which will have to be fixed as well.

I think that TimeLesSub is a great fansub group and that they put alot of effort into their releases and are dedicated fans of Jdrama. That is why I believe that they decided to use the SD version of the whole episode for their encode instead of the partial version of the HD RAW so that the drama would be more complete and I have no complaints at all if that was there decision. I just wanted to give you readers a heads-up so you would know the difference between the two.

I have contacted TimeLesSub about a week ago for permissions to use their subs through darynrose of D-Addicts who made the subtitles post for this drama as well as through TimeLesSub’s website email directly. I know that this group is currently active and is not dead but unfortunately I have yet to receive a reply. Regardless, this drama was so good that I had to encode it. If TimeLesSub later replies and denies permission then I will remove the subtitles from the encodes and have it make it available as a separate download. I am currently in the progress of re-timing the subs for episode 9 for the RAWS provided by wah3388 of D-Addicts and fixing episode 11. I will make both available when they are finished.

LIAR GAME was a pretty good drama and I was a little surprised that there wasn’t an HD sub already made. SacredCultivator of D-Addicts was the original translator of this series and his SD encodes are already available on the site for download. Recently, he has given me permission to use his subs for the HD version of the drama and they are now finished and online for you to enjoy ^_^

Season 2 is currently airing now and is up to episode 7. Right now, I have no plan of encoding this series because SARS-Fansubs is already working on it. From what I know, they already have episodes 1-4 encoded and have finished translating up to episode 6. Since things are already done in a timely manner I don’t see any reason to intrude and can spend more time on other dramas. I have been following season 2 with the RAWS and softsubs and haven’t seen their version yet but I will definitely make them available sometime in the near future if I receive permission.

From time to time, I get questions asking about why our web address is www.easydrama.com but our website name is Drama Made Easy. As far as I know, there’s no rule that states that your URL must match the name of your website but the reason behind it is really simple actually. www.easydrama.com looks a lot nicer and is a little bit shorter to type than www.dramamadeeasy.com. It’s as simple as that ^_^

Originally, when this blog was hosted by wordpress.com, I wanted the web address to be dmez.wordpress.com. That way, it would be easy to type and reflect the acronym for the name of the actual website. Unfortunately though, that address was already taken by another user and I really didn’t want to use dramamadeeasy.wordpress.com so I settled on ezdrama.wordpress.com instead.

When I switched over to independent hosting however, ezdrama.com was already taken by another site. This time, I decided not to use dmez.com because ezdrama really does roll off the tongue much easier so I decided on easydrama.com as a substitute. Despite that, since so many users were already use to Drama Made Easy I decided to keep the name and just change the URL.

From today onwards, that will no longer be the case and Drama Made Easy will be simply referred to as EasyDrama. After starting EasyDrama Subs I have been getting more and more visitors and I really think it is more appropriate for the two names to match. I would rather change the name of the site to EasyDrama instead of create DramaMadeEasy Subs. I added the “+ Company” because this site has projects created by other groups as well but the name may change in the future.

If I had a choice to redo things all over, I think I would have gone with easydrama.wordpress.com from the very beginning. But with most things in life, you’ll only see some things better in retrospect. For now, I’m still going to keep dmezadmin@gmail.com as the main contact address and username of the site since so many people have already written to me there and it is already registered with this blog.

I know that this is nothing earth-shattering but nonetheless I think that this is something all readers should know. Please excuse any discrepancy regarding the name as I update any references in this site that still contains Drama Made Easy with EasyDrama. With that being said, Easy Drama will have it’s first release of the new year for you very soon! =)
