Re: JDorama with an Alpha-male main character?
Please tell me if you guys know of a drama in which the main character is very manly and cool. A leader, basically. Sort of like the main character in My Boss My Hero, and like Halu-san in Pride.

@hikkichan obviously you're more than qualified to answer my question. I'm sure you've attempted watching 1/2 epis of more than 30 dramas, just failed to complete the majority.

Let's put it this way, if it is 10years ago, Kimura Takuya would have made a good Tsukasa. 5yrs ago, yes.... Nagase would have been perfect. FYI Kimura Takuya did do HYD more than a decade ago...

Almost all the top 20 dramas are good dramas, barring Hana Yori Dango and Kurosagi which i could barely sit through. My choices, besides Tiger and Dragon which is by far the best ever. The other 2 is just there cos i'll grow tired rewatching it. 1) Tiger and Dragon 2) My Boss, My Hero (2006) 3) Muko...
