The first Japanese drama that I watched was Takuya Kimura's Good Luck!. and I fell in love with him.

What else can you recommend among other drama series that he did?

My top fave is Long Vacation followed by Pride and Beautiful Days. Good Luck is actually not much to my liking.

I would have to say either Pride where he totally beat the crap out of someone or Beautiful Life.

I've enjoyed all his work. It doesn't hurt that he is aesthetically pleasing, of course.....my current favourites are A Million Stars Fall From the Sky and Engine, but I loved Long Vacation and Pride too. I have Good Luck ready to watch, but I'm trying to get my blood pressure down first, cos I might expire from the drool fest he's bound to produce. My only criticism of his various series is that I usually can't stand the sight of his female leads. The big exception to that is Long Vacation, sorry I can't remember her name, but I thought her character was great and she was sooooo different to most women portrayed in doramas.
Mostly, you can't go wrong with one of his series, though, they are usually terrific!

He's awsome, well to describe him more, I would say a true 'natural' actor. I never feel that he fakes or exaggerates any of his roles and he is really intellegent on knowing how to portray his roles and being able to calculate onto how to express it. His manager is also a genius in finding the dramas that are for him.

I truely enjoyed Long Vacation, HERO, and Beautiful Life. Loive generation was so so. The storyline was whack...but that's a while ago when I was like..9 or 10. I think Matsu Takako's character wasn't really good I guess.

Nobody likes Love Generation?

I like Long Vacation and Love Generation the best, the dramas that he's done in recent years doesn't appeal to me much for some reason. I did not finish watching Beautiful Life, cause I found out what's the ending halfway through the show... bah~ completely killed my interest in the show.

If you looking for something in the same vein as "Good Luck!" you're probably gonna be fine with "Pride" and "Engine". Otherwise definitely seek out "Long Vacation", it's one of the best dramas ever.

1) Pride
2) Love Generation
3) A Million Stars Fall From the Sky
4) Beautiful Life

i've seen & love most of his works, but those four are on the top of my KimuTaku dramas

Pride, Engine, and Sora Kara Furu Ichioku no Hoshi (Million Stars) are my favorites. I think. There are really so many to choose from...

For me, definitely Nemureru Mori! I loved his character in this one... mysterious and cool! He really blew me away with his performance in this one and my friend and I were glued to the set when it first aired. I liked him also in Sora Kara Furu Ichioku no Hoshi, Long Vacation and Pride too.

Tomoko Yamaguchi. Unforgettable.

Yes, Long Vacation is my favorite, too.
