@Mwulf: lol on Trick. I just watched the first ep last night (about a couple of hours after the post) and I must say, Abe Hiroshi rocks. I've watched Kekkon Dekinai and Attention Please! already, so, sorry for not listing them down, but they were great . I'll check Seigi no Mikata out. From what I've heard, they said that it's really hilarious. Thanks.
@darkliquids2: just checked the info on that. I didn't bother with it at first because of the deer pic, but the story's weird. I'll check it too. thanks.

If you like Abe Hiroshi, you should also check out Egao no Hosoku and Hero. He's got a supporting role in Hero, but it's still a great show.
Edit: D'OH! And Shiroi Haru. It's airing right now and it's really, really, really good. It's a more serious drama, but it's still got some funny moments (like the one I snagged my avatar from).

I have managed to watch the 1st episode of Mirai Koshi Meguru. Its more of a teacher/student classroom drama. I was hoping for something romance/comedy or just funny. Not quite what I expected. Actually the 2nd episode was a complete bore. The teacher and her grandfather have the ability to see the students futures and I guess hoping that their outcome will all change for the better is what this drama is about. One thing though.... I could not grasp the concept of the main character being an English teacher who doesn't pronounce English words with an English accent?? Ratings for this drama weren't too hot either (Drama Wiki).
Now its on to Hotaru no hikari... I hope this one is better! Any more suggestions please?

Same concept as Mirai Koshi Meguru--but good.

Yes... it is so good I can't wait for the torrents to download, so I am watching the streaming videos at livevideo.com. Mop girl was too irritating to watch so I ditched it for Hotaru no Hikari and glad I did!
I must say that one thing I noticed in Japanese drama's is that there is always a girl so desperate for one guy that she will challenge the girl he really likes for his affection and there is always another guy who likes the main character guy in a homosexual way.
They tend to involve men who are strongly attracted to men in their drama's. I have not seen this type of pattern in Korean or Chinese drama's or films. I wonder why there is so much emphasis on male homosexuality in Japanese drama's? Even some of the guys get very close to the other men lips and face...hmmm...I wonder why

When I watched the first 2 or 3 episodes of Hotaru no Hikari I thought that Naohito's best friend (the guy who asks him to go live with him) was actually in love with him. I didn't finish the dorama so I don't know if it was really so.cantaboy wrote:I remember it being in Nodame and Hana Kimi (for laughs, I think) but not in Hotaru no Hikari.

Yes its in the 1st 2nd 3rd 4th episodes of Hotaru no Hikari... My friend and I am trying to remember which other dramas we have seen it in as well...actually we both noticed that it seems to be more common in Jdrama than in Cdrama and Kdrama. Just wondering about that...its not a big deal...just something they seem to enjoy including in their dramas.
The new doramas you're liking
I've got the same question here...x_XJules wrote:How are you guys liking the shows this season? What are you watching? Anything you might suggest?
I've been watching mr. brain and konkatsu. Konkatsu is super cheesy but it's actually starting to grow on me, LoL. And Mr. Brain I don't have a real opinion on yet.
Been trying to check out the new doramas but none have really appealed to me =|
So... do you guys recommend any of the new ones which could be really good despite what it might look at the first episodes or even at the synopsis?
Where's been Kimura Takuya (is that his name? I remember liking a lot of his doramas) or Fukatsu Eri?

My favorite jdoramas are:
Joou no Kyoushitsu (brilliant!)
Kekkon Dekinai Otoko (hilarious ;)))
1 Liter of Tears (extremely sad... ;()
Karei Naru Ichizoku (magnificent!)
Dragon Zakura
So, because I like these doramas, and don't like: Hana Yori Dango, Nobuta wo Produce etc. I would like to get some recommendations. Especially for older jdoramas that doesn't appeal to teenagers ...

i recommend bloody monday starring miura haruma and takeru sato.
maou starring ohno satoshi and ikuta toma.
they're good series.i haven't seen new series because they are restricted to the members of their community. some of the series (smile and majo saiban) i'm following are not available for download here in d-addicts.

@gareth: Since you liked Kekkon Dekinai Otoko (one of my favorites!) and Dragon Zakura, I'd recommend a few:
- Tiger and Dragon (very hilarious and clever)
- Manhattan Love Story (all-time fave drama, again, very funny & clever)
- Room of King (very funny)
- Dekichatta Kekkon (I'm watching this now, it sounds like you might be a Abe Hiroshi fan based on the two dramas you mentioned, and he has a great role in this one too)
Hopefully those are entertaining and can get you away from the dumb high school drama genre (^_^)v
@Joossy right now my top 5 would probably be (in no particular order): Manhattan Love Story, Nodame Cantabile, Kekkon Dekinai Otoko, Stand Up!!, Tiger & Dragon.
However I'm not sure those are really a good set of "intro" dramas, necessarily. But those are all definitely must-watch

@mokudekiru -- thanks for recommending me some new doramas. I'll definitely check out Manhattan Love Story and Room of King.
Tiger and Dragon wasn't my cup of tea. The reason for that probably is that I knew so little about japanese culture back then, and that drama has a certain culture dependent humour and story.
I'll definitely give it another shoot in the near future.
;))
You are right about me being an Abe Hiroshi fan. The best line (and after hearing it more than 20 times -- funniest line) of Abe Hiroshi is "Kaneda updated!" ;)))

I just finished watching Tokyo Wankei and it was terrific! As of right now, it is one of the most well done Asian romance drama I have ever seen. Mature believable romance. Although I have lots of favorite movies and dramas, this one has been the best one I have seen in recent times. I loved it from start to finish and never got bored with the storyline or actors. This was a well polished mature romance drama and it was excellent. I will definitely have to keep this movie to watch over and over again.
@Joossy - My complete UPDATED list
1. Tokyo Wankei
2. Nodame Cantabile
3. Akai Ito
4. Kimi wa Petto
5. Hotaru no Hikari

@gareth:
Ah yes, I think I see your point here. It does require a kind of appreciation for certain cultural things (though when I watched it, I was completely unfamiliar with the rakugo comedy style). I like your idea of coming back to it after a while -- particularly if you end up knowing and loving a lot of the actors in T&D like I did, it will end up being pretty fun I think.Tiger and Dragon wasn't my cup of tea. The reason for that probably is that I knew so little about japanese culture back then, and that drama has a certain culture dependent humour and story.
Oh man, I hadn't thought about that line in a long time. But that was soooo good!! What a great showYou are right about me being an Abe Hiroshi fan. The best line (and after hearing it more than 20 times -- funniest line) of Abe Hiroshi is "Kaneda updated!" ;)))
@Joossy:

Gokusen
Byakuyakou
1 Litre of Tears
Proposal Daisakusen
Beautiful Life
Ame To Yume no Ato Ni
Satorare

Yama Onna, Kabe Onna
Bengoshi no Kuzu

Yamada Tarou Monogatari

Nodame Cantabile
Dragon Zakura

and some others which I can't remember now. ^^
I'm not into all those pretty boys (quite obvious since I'm male...) so I don't really care about doramas only about them.
My favourites were probably:
My Boss, My Hero
Kekkon Dekinai Otoko
Tiger & Dragon
Yasuko to Kenji (even though it's the same old GTO-esque formula all over again... Just the characters were kinda funny)
So something similar would be great. ^^
Thanks!

For some reason I just couldn't get into Stand up! or Proposal Daisakusen. I watched the first 2 episodes and just couldn't get into either of them. Although its a kdrama, I am enjoying right now A Love to Kill and will soon be watching Love Phobia when its finished downloading.
@.Den - have you already seen Nodame Cantabile?

I haven't seen Proposal Daisakusen (it's on my list), but it probably took me at least 4-5 episodes to really get into Stand Up! At first it was just ok, but after a certain point I started really enjoying it and overall I think it's a really good show - just have to hang in there for a while, get to know the characters, etc.iluvasiandrama wrote:For some reason I just couldn't get into Stand up! or Proposal Daisakusen.

Stand Up! was a bit too juvenile I think....more for pre-teens. Proposal Daisakusen was just too boring but you know what? I think because I watched Nobuta wo Produce and Yamashita Tomohisa's acting in that one was kind of sour IMO ...now when I see him in any drama I can't get his acting in Nobuta out of my mind. IDK maybe its just in my own opinion.TofuQueen wrote:I haven't seen Proposal Daisakusen (it's on my list), but it probably took me at least 4-5 episodes to really get into Stand Up!

@.Den - Kimi wa petto had some humorous moments. Stand Up!! seems to be comedy...although I didnt care for it you may find it ok. Actually the first episode of Stand Up!! had quite a few funny parts. I just couldn't get into the storyline.

Warui Yatsura
Kemonomichi
Kurokawa no techo
Most of these the women have someone they like but they're not passive/apologetic or on a quest for a husband. The only downside I would say is that all of these have dark themes to them (which I love btw) so some people may not like them.
i love dark dramas. the only one i've seen that you mentioned was byakuyakou which i absolutely loved. i'll be sure to check out the others. thank you!kuro570 wrote:Byakuyakouainhoa wrote:kind of bizarre request to make in this fandom but...

The notion of both dramas was so blatantly absurd, it was extremely fun !!!!

Hey all. I have a two part request...
First, I'm trying to find more "serious" dramas.
It doesn't have to be devoid of comedy or such, just looking for something that portrays fairly serious topics.
Something along the lines of the following...
1 Litre of Tears
14 sai no haha
Last Friends
Beautiful Life
Jyoou no Kyoushitsu
Kamisama, Mou Sukoshi Dake
Now for the second part of my request.
I'm also looking for some lighter stuff to watch in between watching these heavier dramas.
I made the mistake of watching 1 Litre of Tears, 14 sai no haha, Jyoou no Kyoushitsu, and the Taiyou no Uta movie over the course of 4 or 5 days and that left me depressed for almost a week. So I'm looking for something a little more cheerful or such to watch in between any new series to help balance it out.
Some that I've watched...
Hana Yori Dango 1 and 2
Nodame Cantabile
I haven't really come across many comedies that have really caught my attention, so it's a pretty short list. Also, drama's for this part don't have to be comedy, I'm just looking for something to balance out the depression from the first set.
I'm not picky about when a drama has come out, as long as it has English subs for it somewhere. Also, even if you don't have a suggestion for the second half I'd still love to know about any serious dramas you'd recommend. If need be I can find my pick-me-up from things other than dramas to balance it out.
Thanks in advance.

@Trygelan: for the serious one, I recommend Byakuyakou. Though not the first one on my favorite list (it's the third one ), in my opinion it was the most beautifully and skillfully done jdrama I've ever seen.
If you like the casting from Byakuyakou, then you should watch Sekai no chuushin de, ai wo sakebu. Not as impressive as Byakuyakou, but still touching and extremely well-done. Also available from SARS fansub
The synopsis can be found here.
Also LIFE is worth watching. It's about school bullying. Majo no jouken as well.
I also like Engine - a drama about a racer coming home to discover his dad has turned the house into an orphange. You probably can imagine what sort of things will happen then.
For the lighter one I recommend:
Hanazakari no kimitachi e
Nobuta wo Produce (now don't mistake me, NwP is funny, but it's definitely not your usual comedy type, it actually is really philosophical. It won best drama of the season over HYD and 1LOT after all).
Long Vacation - classic love story
Tatta hitotsu no koi - I'm not the type who likes romantic love story, but I thoroughly enjoyed this one. The storyline is sooooo cliche, yet it moved me in its own way because of several touching elements about family, friendship, and of course love.

You're welcome ^^Trygelan wrote:Thanks for the suggestions, all of those have now been added to my "To watch" list.
Gonna start with Seigi no Mikata since it has Shida Mirai and I have been very impressed by her performance so far. Then I'll move on to Byakuyakou.
You are going to see a very different Shida Mirai in Seigi no Mikata, she's a very talented actress.. also, sometime later... you can check Tantei Gakuen Q (ths SP first and then the drama) great and very very thrilling storyline along with interesting young cast...
Tantei Gakuen Q - RAW
soft subs
and yes for serious, I suggest CHANGE.. it gives us a real image of the world of politics today.. with a little bit of a hope for a better tomorrow..
CHANGE - hardsubs
I guess this was so troublesome for your mind... it's really hard to watch these dramas/stories in such a short time... try to avoid doing this in the next timesI made the mistake of watching 1 Litre of Tears, 14 sai no haha, Jyoou no Kyoushitsu, and the Taiyou no Uta movie over the course of 4 or 5 days

Unappreciated Housewives
I was watching Around 40 and the Queen's Classroom, which both had an unappreciated housewife. It's a sad, intriguing topic, so I was wondering if anyone knows of any dramas with them? It doesn't have to be the main focus, but I'd prefer if it lasts most of the drama. I don't really mind what the genre is. I prefer comedy, but as long as it's not horror, I don't care. haha High school dramas are okay, too.
Hey all!
I'm a total noobie when it comes to j-drama's but I hope to change that in the near future . I'm looking for a good j-drama that's yakuza or police related. At the moment i'm downloading my boss my hero. Hopefully someone has some series to reccomend for me?
Also, are there any series anyone should have watched in their life regardless of the subject of the series?
Thanks guys!

The dramas I have seen are:
Hana kimi,
Nodame,
Hana Yori Dango,
Nobuda wo Produce,
Densha Otoko.
Ive found that the ones like Hana yori dango, Mei Chan no shitsuji and Hana kimi, I enjoy the most.
Oh and if you make a recommendation, plz make it rather recent.. Its amazing how the quality has shifted immensly with recent dramas and HD.

Anyone know of any recent martial arts type of movies? Or dramas that have fighting scenes? Nothing from the 70's and 80's preferably after year 2000. Thanks!
@cantaboy - I gave Proposal Daisakusen the benefit of the doubt...during the 5th episode I decided that I just couldn't watch anymore...it was just too boring and dragging too much. Instead, ended up watching all of A Love to Kill (kdrama) and I enjoyed every moment.
I am now watching Nodame Cantabile for the 2nd time

King of Zipangu - 1540 to 1583 (Oda Nobunaga)
Toshiie to Matsu - 1550 to 1599 (Maeda Toshiie)
Komyo ga Tsuji - 1560 to 1595 (Yamauchi Kazutoyo)

Sanada Taiheiki - 1582 to 1622 (Sanada Nobuyuki)
Aoi Tokugawa Sandai - 1598 to 1616 (Tokugawa Ieyasu)

Sweet! Thanks kaneyamaboy and wmcnair.
@kaneyamaboy - Thanks for the detailed list! I will start checking for the uploads w/eng subs. What a treat! I have to get away from the "soap opera" drama's for a while. Need to see something different than the typical hopelessly desperate girl and overly arrogant guy ordeal.
