Hmmm...I'm guessing we really are in the same boat, but you might have seen more than I have. How about...Koi ga Shitai, Unfair, Bokue Dake no Madonna, H2, Summer Snow, or Tokyo Friends? While were at it, maybe I should ask you for some suggestions, or anyone else that might want to chime in. Here i...

@non-angelical - I'm kind of in the same boat as you. Ive watched quite a few and am also looking for something new to watch. I've seen all the ones you mentioned except akai ito and triangle, so maybe I will check those out, but here are some of my personal recommendations for you. Since you say yo...

@ donburi - Check out Prodai(Proposal Daisakusen). I think based on your criteria, you would enjoy that. @ GuyaneseG - Thats a pretty eclectic mix of doramas youve seen so far. Is there a specific type of dorama you want to watch? I have tons of recommendations, but if you give me some criteria or a...

holly necro bump.

I dont think anything gets as dark and twisted as Byakuyako. Life is a decent recommendation, but I didnt care for the story as much. Last Friends has a dark edge to it if you haven't already seen it, and it is probably one of my top doramas.

hello all, I'm looking for I guess what would be a deep-romance drama. Something where there is definitely a strong and present sexual content/tension/relationship thereby leading to god knows what kind of events that try to otherwise sabotage it. Sadly, I'd be more inclined to point out an anime (...

@Savara: The shounen genre doesn't really carry over to dramas, so its a little hard to make suggestions according to that. There are plenty of pure drama type though. Drama has a broad range within it, so if you are more specific I might be able to give you some beter suggestions, but here is what ...

@AKIRA: I'm sorry, but anyone that condones Sousuke's behavior has some issues(not implying that you do). Ya sure, guys can have a violent tendency and what to break things. You fail to miss one simple problem though...It is the composure and self control that seperate Sousuke and other abusive peop...

Hmmm, am I weird for liking the drama more than the manga so far? Not just 'cause of the hot actors, but how Riiko's a bit more realistic. Although she's annoying, she's smarter than the other office ladies, not falling for him immediately because of his cute words and gorgeous looks. We'll see how...

@Zeox: I'd say Last Friends is the must watch this season. So far every episode has been good and keeps you wanting more by then end. Rookies looks promising. Zettai Kareshi is ok so far. It can go either way, but I don't think youll miss out on much by not watching. Ryokiteki na Kanojo is pretty go...

Bara no nai hanaya sounds a bit too much of a "nice" drama from what i've read of the description. Prefer twisted dramas like Trick and M no Higeki. Lol...he said it sounds too "nice." It does sound "nice" but I will assure you that there are some twists you wont expec...

Chinese names are a little different. First of all, they are usually 2 characters. Siblings of the same sex usually have the first character in common and the second character is different. From what I can tell (I'm 4th generation in the US and can't speak any Cantonese or Mandarin to save my life) ...

The first episode was definitely different and yet you could see the similarities for those that have seen the movie. I was unsure how this was going to turn out but I enjoyed the first episode. Lots of comedic moments that were separate from the movie. I think it's best to try to watch this withou...

I'll try to be more clear now that I've gotten some sleep :) For me ProDai was so great because of the way the romance unfolded.
