I just watched the first episode of Love Story. It didn't pique my interest all that much, but since it got such high viewership I'm willing to give it a couple more episodes.
I assume some of you here have seen it. If so, what did you think? Is it worth continuing? Is there another drama you would compare it to?

I just watched Engine
I heard it was very popular back then and plus the main character is
played by Kimura Takuya.
I finished it yesterday and i have to say I was so disappointed in the ending
Don't get me wrong, it was a good jdorama but the ending could have been happier.
If nothing good was going to come out of that race they shouldn't ave made it so serious
of an event =/.
I also highly recommend Hotaru No Hikari
The drama is very realistic and hilarious, Hotaru's weird habits are something
to laugh at.

can anyone recommend something really gooooooood.
really good:nobuta wo produce, Hanazakari no Kimitachi e , nodame cantabile
good: last friends, , haken on hinkaku, life , liar game , My Boss, My Hero (only seen 1 ep tho lols),
watashitachi no kyoukasho -so glad I watched. I loved how i just wanted to know what happens next or what information they'll splurge next.
between good/normal: joou no kyoushitsu (it's just the pace is a little sluggish), hana yori dango / 2
normal: seigi no mikata, Bloody monday, tantei gakuen (I'm watching it now but it's like on a downward slope),
kekkon dekinai - I sawup to 8 and it just boresme. It's just really normal and I don't know, I guess it's not for me?
densha otoko - i saw first ep I was like this is interseting but thje pace is sorta slow and some parts were very unimaginative and like dragging. I only like a couple eps?or parts of the couple eps? it's just not that interesting to me.
propose daisakuesen - i can't help but dislike rei and ken. and i don't like watching him run forlike 10 minutes ep every ep...
1 liter of tears - way too j-drama like how many times is it going to
Hidden:
frikin start raining hard all of a sudden. way too many freakin' lines that any anime/drama fan understand without subs and can respond back to in Japanese.
it could've been good butthey just had to take the easy way out...
14 sai - too melodramatic, i wish they took it another direction.
maou - same as above. something was lacking too.
no: gokusen(boring.../ ), meichan no shistuji (love mizushima hiro but no)
Can anyone recommend REALLY good ones that are good as the ones in reall goody/good that have a good pace during the episode like I don't want anything that's sluggish watch: I just really appreciate the pace of each episode for almost all the shows I put in good/really good. I don't want melodrama or at least kept to a minimum.
watching: saito-san 斉藤さん & ame to yume no ato ni right now
planning to watch:
zettai kareshi
GTO
Heard about but not sure if i should watch:
iebukuro west gate
Dragon Zakura
tiger and dragon
arifureta kiseki
dragon medical team
hotaru no hikari
shiroi haru
stand up
hatarakiman

dragon zakura is so-so. it's a school drama and quite slow. but i watched it til the end. haha.
ikebukuro west gate park is very annoying. i hated how nagase tomoya would scream there like he's the god of the world. and the plot's quite shallow. if you've seen him in my boss my hero, you'd like him there better than in this drama.

You dreamed it. In addition Primaden and Kobayaka Nobuki no Koi were never finished, and I anata no tonari ni darega iru has just started getting subbed.

No. Gomen.

Totally agree on Nobuda and Nodame. I'd probably put HanaKimi in the "good" pile.

No kidding, huh?? Run like hell and then stand around looking morose while his love life slipped away. The show had its moments, but I'd have felt a lot better if I could just go up and slap him from time to time.
To be honest, I haven't found anything (yet) that has the right to be spoken in the same sentence as Nobuta or Nodame, but I've found a few enjoyable ones. Most of the jdramas I've seen are full-length dramas. That is, you get invested in it, and you really need to watch the entire thing - like an 11-episode movie. But a few series establish the characters, and then each episode is a self-contained story, like most American shows. So you can watch a couple episodes and decide if you like it or not.
Mop Girl is like this. It took me an episode or two for her whining to change from annoying to endearing for me, but it's a fun show. Mr. Brain is similar. Same with Boss.
Fugoh Keiji isn't quite as good, but Fukada Kyoko's incredible cuteness makes up for a lot.
