the girl really likes EATING. and the drama starts out when she was young. One specific scene was that she stole strawberries offered to the temple and then she later received strawberry jam from the mayor of the town. Her family owns a restaurant, her dad is a cook (french I think).

I've been trying to find this movie for years but had no luck. I'm guessing it was a recent release (>2010) but could be wrong.

Any help you can give would be most appreciated.

It was a romance/comedy and I think it was filmed in the late 90's or early 2000 but I'm not sure.

The protagonist was a female chef in a little Italian restaurant. She lived in a small apartment with her friend and her niece, because her brother always got in trouble. The restaurant then gets bought or somehow taken over by a big company. The company CEO's son, a spoiled brat, is the male protagonist. I think somewhere in the storyline he even makes the whole staff of the restaurant work in the company's own cantine/kitchen.

Can somebody please help me?

A tip, you can use DramaWiki and search things like "Italian restaurant" it will check what's written in the synopsis as well.

JLove wrote:Hello,

Found this thread. I posted about this request in a different thread, so I hope I'm not being a nuisance. I'm hoping for someone to help me identify a jdrama but I may not have many clues at all.

A few years ago (probably), I stumbled upon a Japanese period drama (I believe it was the Edo period) while channel flipping on cable. Not too sure if the drama is by NHK as NHK is the only Japanese channel that I have on cable although a couple of other channels have broadcasted some dramas from other Japanese channels even if it's not as frequent.

When I stumbled upon the drama, it was the scene of a man and a woman trying to make the perfect sweet red bean paste. They tried and tried and tried throughout the night and finally they got the right taste of the sweet red bean paste when morning comes. I think the success will implicate the woman's standing in the business dominated by men (at least that's what I thought I understood). I've always thought that drama was about wagashi but since then I haven't seen any other episodes of that particular period drama to be sure of it.

At that time I wasn't really following japanese dramas as I haven't discovered DA so I didn't really bothered much but years passed and I learned much more about the Japanese culture and watched plenty of Japanese drama about food. So I just happened to recall this particular drama (or rather particular scene of this drama) that I watched by chance.

I really hope someone knows what drama is this and I hope it is still available on the net and that there are eng subs for it. Do advice if anyone knows.

Clues to identify drama:
- period drama (most possibly edo period)
- most likely NHK channel but not entirely sure
- there is a scene where a man and a woman were trying to succeed in making a good sweet red bean paste throughout the night
- the woman in the scene could be trying to make a name for herself in the business of sweet red bean paste making or wagashi making in a male dominated wbusiness

p/s: It's ok if you don't know the drama. I would appreciate if there are suggestions on dramas about wagashi and the business/traditions surrounding wagashi. I've watched Ando Natsu and the asadora, Asuka. I really loved these 2 dramas and enjoyed learning more about wagashi.

A few years later (in the drama) the mother and child was at the shop on the marina when the Japanese Police (maybe the Yakuza?) take the child away from the mother. There was also a newspaper article that the mother was wanted. If i recall correctly, it was a slightly older drama from 1990-2006.

KyotoLord1986 wrote:Hello, everyone.

My name is KyotoLord1986. I am new to this forum but i've been a fan of Japanese Dramas since I can remember. I'm also a fan of Asano Yuko and I've been looking at a few of her dramas that she was featured in on YouTube. I'm looking for a drama or a movie that she was featured in the early 90s that had an aerobics theme to it, or she was working as an aerobics instructor or something like that. All I'm saying is that I want to know the name of that drama or movie in particular that featured her. If anyone can help me find it, I would appreciate it.

I remembered that I have seen this drama in around 2013. If my memory served me right, it's about the Japanese high school that have a rule that every student must wear mini skirt (like shown in the picture). One day new student join this school. She's quite shy and don't brave enough to wear those uniform. And the story go on ...

Anybody know the title of this drama?
I try to search for it by guessing that the one appear in the picture is Kie Kitano, but seem that was wrong...

Any idea ?? Thanks.

takeda_shingen wrote:I vaguely remember it as the worst gravure idol booby show disguised as drama I've seen (well, I skipped through the first episode to see if it actually was as stupid as the description made it sound - yes, it was), probably not later than 2012/2013. I don't remember the title though, so I guess this is not very helpful, sorry.

misspatrice wrote:Hello, I once watched an Asian medical drama, and I believe it was Japanese, all I remember is seeing the scene after an earthquake hit and I haven't been able to find it since. I watched this drama ages ago, and at the same time they had a lot of people in the ER, here are all the medical shows I found that might be it. Note it was in the first episode.

xaerozaki wrote:I need help finding this drama. I am unsure if it was a film or a TV show, but it was about a group of working women, and I believe there was 4 or 5 of them. I think the main character was very close to one of them, and the story became complex later on. I read a review about it a few months ago but I dont remember its name anymore. Sorry if it's too vague.

ap1754 wrote:Can't believe I found this great forum!

Can anyone help me recall and identify the first j-drama/jdorama I saw? Pretty sure it was already in progress (missed the initial episodes).

It was, I think, an english-subtitled New York City broadcast on WNYC Ch 31 (or possibly WNYE 25) over-the-air UHF (pre-DTV) "leased-time programming" (aka non-english language). Most likely late 20th or very early 21st century. Possibly via Fujisankei Communications Group. Also, it must have been broadcast here before Churasan - the first drama I saw from start to finish.

The plot, as best remembered focused on "the girl" - a female assistant or maybe assigned handler - whose support and unshakeable belief permitted "the guy" - a difficult, long-haired(?) concert(?) pianist - to make a come-back after some sort of fall (and loss of confidence?). Not sure if they got together at the end.

Probably no help because, but think I recall the name Noriko, as an actress or possibly her character.

(And sure hope my addled brain didn't transpose a different musical instrument into the remembered piano.)

I checked around various wikis but guess my search terms were inadequate, so thought to query the collective memory here. Thanks.
