Hello. Maybe there is dorama with revenge, romance story ? Something similar to Kurosagi.

Ehm i also just finish that lol.....So boring now............lol.... ....Can anytell me more lol....thx you so much....

auris wrote:Hello. Maybe there is dorama with revenge, romance story ? Something similar to Kurosagi.

although it's a bit heavier and more mature than Kurosagi, A Million Stars Falling from the Sky is a really really good one. It's being subbed right now (currently up to ep
Though if you're looking for a lighter type with some comedy, then probably this isn't it.
Every episode is thrilling though and you can never get bored.

Last love or Saigo no koi is the one i usually recommend to people, it's not the greatest but, it's the one Jdrama that i can watch over and over again and not get tired of.

Densha Otoko[/b][/u] - all of us here in d-a could probably relate with the plot since we are all otakus in one way or another. Without watching the anime, I find the humor gets better halfway, maybe because I got used to Yamada as I watch more episodes.

Yamada was in the movie right? <-- Do you reccommend the movie?

haven't seen that verision but in the drama in the beginning where they show all the messages flying all over the country from one computer to another I started laughing becuase I could really picutre the same exact thing happening here and on Soompi.

Dramas and Mangas

KIMI WA PETTO (You Are My Pet), published in America as Tramps Likes Us by TokyoPop. I really enjoyed them both, even though the drama is based on the manga the storyline is a little different in the manga

Densha Otoko which is being released this fall in the US in two different manga versions, is also a movie

My current favorite series is akihabara@DEEP up to episode 3 has been released and the series gets better and better. The poster of the torrents Koneko posted that akihabara@DEEP is based off the manga by Ira Ishida. I've never seen the manga. The series has many manga and anime references. Latest Episode is about Cosplay and I have some screenshots at my blog.

I'm excited that Nodame Cantabile is going to be aired in Japan this fall I hope someone subs it because I love the manga.

GTO, a drama series and two movies, a 25 volume manga run and around 45 episode anime Great Teacher Onizuka aways rated as #1 drama at http://www.jdorama.com/topdramas.htm

Gokusen currently user rated as #2 at jdorama

Battle Royale - Survival Program drama and also two movies. I haven't seen the drama but the movies and manga are excellent.

Attack No.1starring Ueto Aya is a fun drama about high school volleyball and the national team.

Hotman starring Takashi Sorimachi, I haven't seen this or its sequel yet.

TIticamara wrote:YOu guys/gals gotta watch overtime. Its the award winning screen writer Kitagawa Eriko who brought us many many memorable dramas like Orange Days, Long Vacation and most notably ( her proudest work ) Beautiful life. Believe me, you will never regret it.

hey i've been searching for Overtime for so long!do you know where i can find it? i watched it once before a long time ago and I was so distressed over the ending i tore apart the cushion i had in my hands... hahah.. please help me find that series again!

when people say 'GTO'.... is that different to the anime? or the same? ... cause i'm a little worried about whether i should see it or not considering i have seen the anime of 'GTO'

As far as I've seen...

I love :
1.Pride (no need to say why )
2.one million stars falling from the sky (It was crenching my heart while seeing)

I don't like :
1. sleeping forest (it was dragging from the middle till the end. And it was too easy to guess who's done it)

And so so drama :
1. to the one I love (it was too intended to break your heart)
2. Good luck (it'd be better if the leading actress wasn't Kou)

Thx you so much and arigatooooo....Anyone can give me list lol......Thx youuuuu.......

i don't know if you've looked yet, but the first couple pages of this thread have a lot of detailed reccommendations that you might want to check out. They will tend to be a bit older, but a lot of classics listed that you'll see pop up over and over in this thread are there...

Wow ... lots of drama recommendation here whereas for me, highly recommends <B>1 Little of Tears</B> - prepared lots of tissues tho....

Just completed Kurosagi which is also a good catch if U folks out there likes Yamapi...

hmm... well lets see, Nobuta wo Produce was one of my favourites . . .
but theres loads of good ones out there such as: Hana Yori Dango, H2, Dragon Zakura just to name a few~

and yeah, Kurosagi was definitely worth watching ^^

I have watched several j-drama already, but these are the only dramas that are being sold here in our country locally with good sub-title. Can you please help me in choosing which among the ff dramas are must see and why. Will most appreciate it. Thanks...

Heaven's Coin
Sleeping Forest
Pretty Girls
Narita Rihon
Twist of Faith
HS Teacher
Hero
Golden Bowl

I've watched an old j-drama this weekend entitled Big Wing, and I am so captivated by its noble storyline.

From what I've seen....

Kimi wa Petto
Hana Yori Dango
Nobuta wo Produce
Gokusen
Great Teacher Onizuka

And what I'm watching now...Taiyou no Uta

Hi! xD can someone recommend me a comedy genre xD school life/comedy, romance/comedy xD

Thanks!!! xD

recommended you must watch:

1.) GTO
2.) Tokyo Love Story
3.) Long Vacation
4.) Asunaro Hakusho
5.)Beautiful Life
6.)kamizama

I haven't seen many dramas, but IWGP is definitely my favorite so far. So yeah... I'd recommend it to anyone.

Here's some of my recommendations:

Hana Yori Dango
Nobuta wo Produce
1 Litre of Tears!!!!***
Sekai no chuushin de, ai wo sakebu

These are relatively new and are easier to find.

I haven't watched too many but here are the ones I recommend:

If you like deep, meaningful melodramas...
1.Orange Days (won 7 drama awards)
2. Beautiful Life (won 11 drama awards--record)
3. Long Vacation (won 10 drama awards)
(Incidentally all written by Kitagawa Eriko--I'm a big fan of her work)

If you like dark, thought-provoking stories that leave you crushed and bewildered...
1. Sora Kara Furu Ichioku no Hoshi (won 7 drama awards, also written by Kitagawa)

If you're in the mood for light, feel-good entertainment...
1. GTO
2. Good Luck!!
3. Gokusen

And the best school drama I've ever watched...
1. Nobuta Wo Produce (won 6 drama awards--best drama, actor, sup actress, music, director, script)

All of these are currently available for download on torrent (either here or JTV).

Thanks for all the input on suggested dramas that one should watch or even look out for, have to say my year is cut out for me may have to increase download limit.

Downloaded 80% of Goong !! Is this a good drama to watch ??? Just that no 1 mentioned it.

Jovene wrote:Downloaded 80% of Goong !! Is this a good drama to watch ??? Just that no 1 mentioned it.

umm... probably because Goong is a k-drama, so it would not likely be mentioned here

but, Goong was a good drama, but towards the middle, they started dragging it out. But it was still a drama with lots of likeable characters. 16 ep (like the original intention) would have been the ideal length, but they dragged it to 24.

Thanks for that auroragb so I can see I'm gonna have a long couple of nights ahead of myself.

Just watched LAst Christmas really enjoyed it.

for school drama i recommend : jyoou no kyoushitsu.........subarashi....

I'm looking for J-dramas/movies that has a mind-twisting/deep plot, psychological/horror, uncommon emotions (unlike friendships, love), questions humanity (not sci-fi or clone related) or morality. Sex is also welcome if needed by the plot. Mystery/detective is also good. Open ending is acceptable. How old the show is doesn't matter either.

like this show: Furikaereba yatsu ga iru / 振り返れば奴がいる - Oda Yuji

thanks.

I think byaku yakou would fit almost everything you said.

I've just picked up Byaku Yakou. Half way through A Million Stars Fall. any more?

i just finished watching kekkon Dekenai, which was awesome.

I have just started My Boss My Hero, and Medaka. (both seem great)

Has Abe done anything else that was as awesome as Kekkon ?

Dragon Zakura and Shotgun Marriage

You may want to try "Nemureru mori" (Aka A Sleeping Forest). It's a 1998 suspense/mystery also starring Kimura Takuya. The viewership was through the roof when it aired--30.8%

[quote="Willuknight]

he did At Home Dad

do you need subs? (or the vids even?)

Unfortunately, most dramas in the mystery/psychological category don't usually get subbed, but here are a few I can think of right now...
Nozawa Hisashi stories are typically dark and psychological (Nemureru Mori < the current JSoTW, Koori no Sekai, Nemurenu Mori wo Daite)
Wakaba no koro and Ningen shikkaku (both featuring the duo from Kinki Kids)
Algernon ni hanataba wo (subbed)
Suna no utsuwa
Maybe Taiyou wa Shizumanai (Never seen it, but it seems in the same category and had good reviews)
Rondo, perhaps? It has subs...

More recently:
Nyokei Kazoku and Kemonomichi (both with Yonekura Ryoko)

edit: forgot to add Mahiru no Tsuki that groink is just starting to upload (with subs!)

ARRG, i downloaded 4gb of this, but forgot to check for subs, and now i can't find any. Please tell me there are soft subs avalible ?

gougz wrote: he did At Home Dad

THis sounds really awesome, but there are no seeds

I would recommend Nobuta wo Produce. I watched it because of all the hype and believe me it is worth all the hype. It is a must see series. Densha Otoko is also a must see. Gokusen season 1 and Kiken na aneki are good shows to check out. Right now I'm at episode 8 of My Boss My Hero and so far I am enjoying the series. I tried watching Orange Days but feel asleep half way through the first episode. A lot of people recommended Orange Days but I couldn't get through it.

Ur kinda into shounen dramas (if it's called like that). Cause honestly speaking, orange days was really good. And yes, have to admit that my hero my boss is hilarious.. really like Makky in that drama. He also played Kotora in Tiger & Dragon, a one of a kind show i must say. Latest dramas I've watched were Sapuri and Kekkon Dekinai Otoko. Sapuri really disappointed me (although Itoh Misaki was in it)

Let's see... I think each season was either hardsubbed or there were softsubs included in the torrent.

i also just finished sapuri and like you I was disappointed. TIGER & DRAGON was unique and was really enjoyable. It was awesome!

Just finished A Sleeping Forest. It's really something. 30.8% viewership can't be wrong.

A Million Stars Fall From the Sky, on the other hand, is a little disappointing. The detective part of the story is too simple and contained too many unnecessary shots. but it does have another big catch.

I wan't too impressed with first 2 episodes of Byaku Yakou. "It" could have gone further (i'm devilish, aren't I). 3&4 are very enjoyable (some major conflicts). Hope Sars continues this series.

will check your suggestions soon, mizune. thanks. Eng subs i'd prefer but Chinese too. I watched your translation of Tokyo Friends. was rather accurate.

The last dorama i watched was Kuitan.

It was fun and interesting.. I loved it when they turned on that classical tune whenever kuitan took out his chop sticks ! Ticklish!

I 've downloadad the Hero SP but i dont want to spoil myself cos i havent watched the drama Hero yet.
A lot of people have been recommending it plus the reviews are pretty good.
Does anyone know where i can find Hero with eng subs?

Thanks in advance

Must Watch - MY BOSS MY HERO
You surely dont want to miss this one....!!!

Hi guys i'm new to the site and need a little help. I seem to be having problems getting the torrent for akihabara@DEEP Search. I was able to get the 4th episode no problem but the first 3 seem to eluide me. Anyone do me the favor fo linking the torrent or somehow sending me the torrent for the first 3. Message me for my email if you can send me the torrents for the first 3.

Arigato,
Weasel

i recommend Great Teacher Onizuka and Orange Days. my two absolute favorites

i hear 1 Litre of Tears is really good but i'm unable to dl torrents at college =/ does anyone know of a clubbox with this series?

hello people, i've watched so many school dramas now i don't know what else is good out there atm. so can you people please recommend me school jdramas? thanks.

school dramas i've seen;
h2
dragonzakura
gokusen
hana yori dango
gto
one litre of tears
gachibaka
sekai no chuushin de, ai wo sakebu
nobota wa produce

since i'm gonna finish school in a few more weeks after my hsc, i want to watch as many school dramas as i can before i feel weird watching them when i graduate. i reckon i'm gonna watch a school drama and miss school too much lol. hopefully that won't happen. =]

my boss my hero

If you like something dark, but good, then you should watch "Jyou no Kyoushitsu"

I forgot "Strawberry on teh Shortcake." That's also a school drama.

Regardless of Genre etc., here are my top ten JDramas.
I tried to pick mine based on the quality of the story or the movement of the plot, not on what idols were involved. Not saying that's the wrong way for everyone ot judge them .

1. Kimi Wa Petto (One of the better quality dramas acting wise. The plot is very original and the characters are all well thought out. And unlike many dramas, this isn't very predictable)
2. Densha Otoko (The only reason that it isn't the best is because some people cannot stand the main character or empathize with him)
3. Gokusen (The best school drama, even if the plots can be a little repetitive, there is just a lot of energy in the cast and the plot is interesting)
4. Beautiful Life (A classic and popular favorite. Not very uplifting. Heavily imitated)
5. Nobuta Wo Produce (One of the best High School/Teen dramas that isn't about a disease)
6. Great Teacher Onizuka (The enthusiasm of the main character is what makes this)
7. Hana Yori Dango (A little out of touch with reality but very exciting)
8. Sapuri (Some people found this one dumb, I liked it)
9. Trick (The acting is good. yeah, the effects are cheesy, but it's a lot of fun)
10. Lunch Queen (It's nice to have a drama based on food for once)

Hello good people, this is my first post over here allthough i'v been lurking around here for some time now.

I would like some suggestions for a "Feel-good-want-go-go-out-and-hug-people" kind of dorama... hehe you know what i mean?

the ones i recently watched has always ended on the sand note.. somebody dies or something to that extent... While I really enjoy those to, I'm starting to get drepressed

So if anyone have any suggestions that would fit my needs it would me much appreciated

Long Vacation... It's written by the same Screenwriter that wrote Orange Days (Kitagawa Eriko) and is equally good or even better IMO:

Good Luck
Long Vacation

these three are good, also nemureru mori & pride but the rest of the stuff he played in is so-so. Especially since he allways play the same part.
