Any suggestion ?
The rules is simple, have kawaii actress inside


Just google some actresses you like and find out what dramas they've been in. Off the top of my head there's Yuko Takeuchi, Inoue Mao, Mizukawa Asami, Ueto Aya, Haruka Ayase, Horikita Maki, etcEriKira wrote:Lacking of dorama to watch.

My cousin recommends JIN. I haven't watched it but I think it's very interesting. It's a medical drama where a brain surgeon travels back in time to the Edo period. It's only 11 eps for the 1st and 2nd seasons, and according to my cousin this drama has a really solid story, plus all the actors are really good. I'm planning to watch this one soon!antoku wrote:Help me educate my mom (with fiction)!
My mom's going to visit me in Japan pretty soon. I'm pretty into history (kabuki, nohgaku, Genpei wars, sengoku, bakumatsu, all that jazz) and I'd like to try to show her what Japan means to me. Can anyone recommend me a hopefully not-too-long jidai-geki that might give her some context for the stuff I'm planning to show her?
Like, I could tell her to watch Shinsen-gumi and then take her around Kyoto and show her the location of the Ikeda-ya and she'd know what it meant to be there since she'd watched the show. Only if I told her to watch a 50 episode drama I'd pretty sure she'd get two episodes in and quit, so Taiga drama might not be the best.
Can someone recommend something a little shorter, ideally set pre-Meiji?
I don't really get what you mean by "dramatic",TheVicarious wrote:Hey guys.
Searching for a good dramatic drama with strong scenes and serious moments. Not so much comedic stuff. I mean comedy can be there to a point, but I want it to be mostly serious. Like that japanese movie Time Traveller for instance which think did a great job balancing the two.
Thanks!
I think Maou is what you're looking for!Hey guys.

dramelencholy wrote:Hi! I love food doramas like Lunch Queen and Osen! Can anyone recommed any other doramas that has the same sense of comedy and love for food? Replies would be greatly appreciated! (:
kirtil wrote:Hey dramelencholy,
Oishii Gohan comes to mind. The food part was mainly rice but I would recommend it to everyone. A very heartwarming dorama.
Then there are these that might better fit what you are looking for :
Bambino!, My Little Chef (Abe Hiroshi), Oishii Puropozu, Sushi Oji (more comedy but sushi focused), Delicious Gakuin (havent watched it but I understand its a comedy oriented food dorama), and most recent one; Hungry! (said to be very good but still havent watched it)
Have fun, my favorites were Oishii Gohan, Lunch Queen and because Abe Hiroshi was in it, My little chef.
There are also good kdoramas about food, if you interested you can ask in that other thread.
I also checked Shinya Shokudo after beailoveyou's suggestion and I found it very interesting and fun.beailoveyou wrote:Try watching Shinya Shokudo... although it's not really a comedy, per se. It has some light and comedic parts but most are really just heart-warming tales.
Last year there was the very brilliant and sad Soredemo Ikite Yuku! This year I haven't watched any sad dorama's. Maybe Shokuzai... That's more of a thriller than sad though.SithSylar wrote:Hi guys/girls just wondering can anyone recommend me some jdrama thats super super sad that has come out this year????, or maybe something coming out later this year and i should track. thanks very much in advance.
give kekkon dekinai otoko a try - its quite funnyEriKira wrote:Guys, I am searching for very funny dorama which have a story line too.

Thank you ^^ I love the sound of Orthros no inu and Trick.seirin wrote:Trick, Nanase Futatabi, Orthros no Inu, Yashadnoparker wrote:I am new to Japanese dramas and I am unsure on what to watch. I really like super natural sort of themes, Supernatural being my favourite american TV series. Can anyone recommend anything along them lines?
Forgive me if this is a silly question. But does Saiyuuki have any connection with Dragonball? I notice the main character is called Son Goku ><wobblywalker wrote:Supernatural...
I liked Shabake and Dororo (movie), Shabake has a sequel Usouso, but I see no seeds.
My TOP favorite series would be Saiyuuki and it's sequel, although I hear Kaibutsu-kun is pretty good...
OMG!!! where did u watched or downloaded DORORO? ive been searching for this movie for such a long timewobblywalker wrote:Supernatural...

i see.. thanks for the info... and about the lead actor/actress was actually my favorite since i saw them in Orange Dayswobblywalker wrote:Well I don't know about now, but you might try ebay or Amazon. I bought the dvd when the movie first came out but gave it to my cousin a long time ago. Sadly they never made a sequel, it was an 'unfinished business' sort of ending (for me anyway). The lead actors/actresses were great.
Wow! i do love GALILEO too... Masaharu Fukuyama (as u can see on my Ava ^^), Satoshi Tsumabuki and Kou Shibasaki was my ultimate fav Japan artiswobblywalker wrote:Kou Shibasaki became a top favorite with me after I saw her in Galileo, and Tsumabuki Satoshi is so great in this role, Eita and the other actors are wonderful as well, oh I really wish they had made the Dororo sequel!!!
T_T
u rite, i miss to see them on dorama again... as we know Tsumabuki was quite actived on a movie and for Kou i thought that she was focus with her singer career recently :'(wobblywalker wrote:I did watch it after seeing Dororo, wanted to see them interact in a series, they were really good, I keep wondering if they'll be in anything upcoming... seems like so many of the stars that were big a couple of years ago have disappeared from view. Are they on vacation or what? I don't follow very closely though, maybe some of them are doing variety shows or something. Lately been enjoying Deka Wanko, lots of great ensemble interaction, which is one of the elements I really liked about the older series Hero (with Kimutaku). Hope you can track down Dororo, although I will say it was panned, kind of like The Last Airbender (which I also liked). I also liked Tsumabuki in Waterboys, I barely recognized Tamaki Hiroshi in that!
I know they're a little dated but you might want to try some these:ADiosMio wrote:Hi ^_^ I'm looking for comedy or semi-comedic dramas with cute romances. Non cute romance is cool too I guess lol. I also like some serious dramas, but not as much (Kurosagi was okay...)
IS (very meaningful drama,If you like serious stuff you'll enjoy it)Anyway, the reason I'm here at all today is because I've been out of the jdrama loop for a while. About a year or so, maybe a bit more, maybe a bit less. What have been the best shows in the past year or so? Or, if not "best," which ones have you fine people enjoyed? I'm game for any genre but tragedy.
i have a feeling you might enjoy Shinzanmono - shameless plugMwulf wrote: Anyway, the reason I'm here at all today is because I've been out of the jdrama loop for a while.

I think you posed the wrong question. What you're interested seems to be "serious topic with light comedy". You might like bengoshi no kuzu, Beauty or Beast, and Trick . Maybe Samurai High School. If you liked GTO, you might like Gokusen.Royal wrote:I just finished Legal High, and I loved it. So far It's my favorite drama, along with the original GTO.
Could anybody suggest something similar to it? I really enjoyed the comedy, and I loved how it was really fast paced. I've been looking for more comedy dramas like Legal High, but it seems that whenever people ask for comedy, they get suggestions like Nobuta wo Produce and Hana Yori Dango, which I found really boring and not funny at all.
You want pure comedy instead of romantic comedy the way I see it!Some of the best comedies I have seen are:So basically, please help me figure out which of the generally recommended comedies are more Legal High style and less Hana Yori Dango style comedies! Thanks!
Actually, I just watched ''Legal High"!The synopsis said Law,Comedy and that's what it was as far as I'm concerned.For sure it wasn't a romace/romantic comedy and that's what I tried to avoid recommending.GTO is certainly not a pure comedy that's why I didn't recommend it, for me it's more like THE school drama with more serious stuff than comedic moments.I don't think you've watched or looked up "legal high" drama synopsis. They're not pure comedy. Neither is GTO.
I don't think you'll find a synopsis because each episode will have its own actors and its own plot.The only actor who will play in all of them as the story guide is Nakai Kiichi.Actually I am curious about Higashino Keigo Mysteries.
Because the cast have many nice actors and actress inside.
Anyone know about the synopsis ?
Personally the ones I'm interested in besides Higashino Keigo Mysteries are:any recommended dorama for next season (Jul-Sept) ? xD
I know the feeling, when I watch American shows I tend towards stuff made for HBO and AMC. Here are a few suggestions, you may have seen some of them already:I mainly watch American dramas, and I suppose I'm a little picky. I tend to prefer shows with some "edge" like the Sopranos. From what I have seen of Japanese drama, melodrama seems to be quite commonplace. Sometimes that turns me off, but I'm sure I could stomach it, provided the drama has enough redeeming qualities.
If you haven't already watched Kitagawa Eriko's romantic comedies, I would definitely recommend you check them out. They're funny, the writing is really good, and they fit your requirements that they not be in a high school setting or be anime-like. These one's are my favourites:Silverman wrote:It's been a while since i watched jdramas and for the most parts i watched mystery or the more "unconventional" dramas.
But now i wanted to watch a few j-romcoms. They should be:
- NOT a highschoolsetting, except it's about the teachers
-not too "animelike", so no looney toons like bouncing and face-expressions.

Beautiful Life (2000) - This one is probably more of a romantic drama, but it's really funny too.
