Amen to that... I'll never revisit the first Gokusen after being subjected to those two wretched sequels... I couldn't even finish them... Like a bad meal you wanna forget you ever had.

Sometimes you just have to stop when you're on top! No more bad sequels! Pleaaaase! *crosses fingers, hopes the Nodame Cantabile movies won't be horrible*

Yamada Taro Monogatari. I love Sho and Nino but this drama was just painful. Ikegami Takako ranks #1 on my Characters I Would Most Like To Punch In The Face list. I can't even watch Tabe Mikako in anything else now, because I get flashbacks to this drama. I didn't even finish it, although I did valiantly struggle through seven episodes hoping that it would get better. It did not, and I had to just give up.

For me it's Summer Snow. No, not because it was boring, I was interested enough to watch every episode but... it was the end I absolutely hated! It's funny because I watched it and kept watching it because someone said the ending was really good. But by the last episode I kind of had a feeling about what was going to happen and I didn't even make it to the end of the episode before I stopped it and deleted the whole series off my computer. I do not like that kind of end! Yuki was so selfish and it was her fault it had to end like that

Other than that there's no drama I've watched all the way through that I would call the worst JDrama ever. True, I struggled through watching Yukan Club and Gokusen 3 and I didn't like them much but I don't think they're really any worse than any of the other brainless jdrama mush floating around out there...

I don't really get the people who are complaining about HYD Final, it wasn't great but I don't think it was any worse than the rest of the series.

I have an idea why people might not like it, and honestly, I wasn't a fan of the drama version either. But the anime is still one of my favorites and the drama wasn't that far off story-wise. Anyway, H&C has always been categorized as "slice of life", not really as romance, so if you start watching it as a romantic drama, you'll be disappointed.

sike · Post by **sike** » Jan 18th, '09, 08:30

i know it's not a drama, but i really didn't like boku wa imouto ni koi wo suru. it seemed so rushed. and i felt NO connection at all between yori and iku. before i knew it, the whole thing was over too. it was just so...not good, in my opinion.

i liked yasuko & kenji. it was cute and funny, but i think the ending was really, really just not well-thought out. throughout the whoooole series, kenji didn't really show any kind of love torwards erika, and all of sudden he's in love with her. it made me think that the writers just did that so they could wrap up the ending nicely.

binbo danshi was so so at very best. shun was funny, and cute and haruma was really cute too <3 but that's really, really it. other than that the story kind of blew and it was almost a waste of time.

kimi wa petto was also pretty bad, yukan club too. attention please didn't really capture my heart as well. i'm waiting for querbeet to release subs for innocent love, but so far it's...just odd. i don't want to judge it before finishing it, but so far its got a thumbs down from me.

colyn7 · Post by **colyn7** » Jan 18th, '09, 12:15

yup... I'm kinda disappointed aLso after watching Binbo Dashi.. its such a waste that they have a good cast.. hahays...

I watched the the first two episodes of Binbo Danshi and I was like... what's going...on? I was reading the subs just fine... but uh, I didn't get the point of what was happening.

noisia · Post by **noisia** » Jan 19th, '09, 00:57

Kurosagi.

The only good episode is unfortunately the last episode. I expected decent twists in the story but every episode was weak and predictable. If they actually cranked up the level of deviousness and clever turns in the story it would've been brilliant. It was far too linear for my liking.

sahansah · Post by **sahansah** » Jan 19th, '09, 12:39

This is subjective. I'll give my two-cents.

I couldn't get into Pride or Strawberry on the shortcake.
Even though I love Inoue Mao I didn't think First Kiss was great at all. It just didn't have a strong storyline.

Even though it had Jun and koyuki I also couldn't get into Kimi Wa Petto.

I personally have nothing against Yukan Club or Yamada Taro. Yes they wern't great but they wern't bad either. I rather enjoyed One Pound Gospel.

Gokusen is spoiled by the second and third seasons. Why oh why? The first season was decent and had a good cast but the sequels were just repetitive. Each episode followed a clear pattern which included alot of running and fighting random gangsters in some warehouse. The saving grace of the whole show is Nakama Yukie who I thought was excellent as Yankumi in all seasons.

Sora Kara Furu Ichioku no Hoshi could have been so much better as well.

I refuse to believe that any Sorimachi-drama can be worse than Cheap Love, it's just not possible. The only reason I continued

Same here, I could tell from the first ep that I wouldnt be able to last through the entire series. i think the storyline would've been better if they focused on only one or two topics/situations. Even after only watching the first ep in its entirely, I was able to watch the last episode without really missing much.

Idiotic story line, main character blows in every way possible, the whole butler thing seems retarded, the whole bs bullying in it is so borderline attempted murder most of the time its ridic. OMFG and that chick in the wheel chair just gets on my nerves its like shes so emo over some minor crap. The butlers were another thing, they say that the butler and girl couldn't fall for each other but the butlers go well beyond what a butler would really do but something a bf might do for his girl. On top of that they have unnaturally tight bonds with each other that would imo create a relationship. Jeez I hate that drama >.<

Great acting, but the plot does become ridiculous. It's a drama that was so obviously dark and gritty, so as to suggest depth or artistic license, but I wasn't impressed.

The worst drama for me is Gokusen 3 (ducks flying rocks), mainly because Gokusen 1 and 2 had milked the franchise more than enough and the acting was...oh my gods. I wanted to strangle Takaki Yuya every time he came onto the screen. (ducks more flying rocks - Please don't kill me. It's not him, it's me!!!!) Even Miura Haruma couldn't make me watch it past the first 2 episodes.

Then there's Jotei, which started off promising and steadily went (steeply) downhill from there. The last episode of Liar Game was an absolute load of cut-and-paste bs, and I think my dislike for Toda Erika started from that series. And I'm probably the only one in the entire forum to say this, but Code Blue was really bad for me - I couldn't make it past the 2nd episode. Everyone was getting on my nerves even though I liked most of Yamapi's other shows (see avatar).

I'm ashamed to say that I found some guilty pleasure in Yukan Club, mostly because of Otokoyama (the very lovely collie dog). Lol~ And is it right to read 6 pages of the forum and feel inordinately happy that my all time favs like IWGP, Akihabara@Deep, Bara no nai Hanaya and Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo didn't turn up in any posts? Gah. Am such a geek.

I have another to add to my list. Recently I've watched "Voice". This drama is just ridiculous, its full of plot convenience, horrendous story, and nonsensical character behavior. Seriously think about this for a second.. this drama revolves around some medical students who are working in forensics to determine how or why a person died but they're never in the godamn LAB to do the job. The only times you see them in there is when they get the corpse or when they get a clue from the scene..

Ok first off this would be incredibly dull from the start but Voice just love filling those plot lines with pure 100% bs by having almost every character emotionally involved with cases. To make sure the emotional connection is there they make episodes like "Oh my god... My mother died in a similar manner and I've always wanted to know what killed her since I was 6" Why did she want to know at the age of 6? Who knows, why does she still cares 12 years later instead of just recognizing her mother is dead and moving on with her life since even if she does find out it wouldn't change the outcome of anything? who knows.

Those things before are nothing compared to the absurd behavior these guys portray. I understand showing compassion and getting down to the truth is "morally just" but come on.. Medical students who are trying to find causes of death by using forensics never seem to be doing FORENSICS! Instead you see them running all over the place piecing together crime scenes, interrogating witnesses and spouses, and what they discovered on a body to determine what had happen. That would be fine and pretty kool if they were DETECTIVES but they are not! That's the job of the police, not to mention that almost all the bodies they checked could have been easily explained by using FORENSICS! God I hate this damn drama!!!

I just can't get over how they're everywhere doing everything else but doing their job and how their superiors let them without reprimand of any kind.

Even the series' I didn't finish were given at least a full episode before they were shelved. I couldn't even make it to the halfway point of the first episode of this one.

densha otoko - omg this is so boring and like there'sa lot of drag-out scenes to fill up the the time. there's like no twist, oomph, flavor, it's really really dulll. i should've started fast-forwarded through scenes or skip eps or given up. but ididn't dothat till like last 2 eos ( no idea how I made it that far)

gokusen - um... really boring cause it's the same **** over andover and the **** that happens in the first place is mad cliche. like cliche crap anyone 6 year old can think of. it's just very elementary. I wish they just fast-fowarded totheend of the fight afterl ike the first one. i don't like how they really make fighitng such a light issue/etc (if they were really were getting beat up for like 20 minutes waiting for yankumi to gett there they should be like hurt to thep oint of getting rushed to thehospital etc..). like that one scene in LIFE is more realistic and interesting than any of the fights in gokusen. ... i honestly thought season 2 was better than season 1, i mean it's still cliche boring but i thought it had more oomph or whatever, just a little more (I'm not some crazy akanishi/kamenashi fangirl...) speakingo f which why did akanhish start looking tranny like ep 2 or 3 and beyond (his hairstyle got messedup)\ the viewer rating is so HIGH...

mei-chan - omg I watched because it won best drama (and I asume if it won that it should be "safE" to watch like at least worth watching)but the only thing it offers is fan-service for mizushima's fans ( iam a fan of his but not that big of a fan...) and blahblah nana girl's acting is just whatever/bleh. ifeellike it could be better if they chose someone else but anyways i guesin the end it's the script. too dumb and childish, ican't do it... plus it made it self be compared with hana kimi which was so fun...

I actually finished it.

Probably the only drama that uses a narrator for comical effect.
Also the filmstyle is very unique and I've never seen much use of a gradient filter and "Matrix" effect so often. Also, perspective wise they usualy film between objects or film very far away - I found this all very unique in terms of the cinematography.

Other than that, I can see why this may put off some people. I've managed to get to the last Episode, and I watched this with others to boost the entertaining atmosphere. Some shows just don't work when watching alone.

Everyone else was acting his/her heart out but this girl was playing poker with the pros! Totally devoid of emotion! She did not only get hugged by Mizushima Hiro, she got kissed by him too and --- NOTHING!

Maybe if someone else played her role the thing would be salvageable. Minami could've done a fantastic job in that role. Plus a better ending -- like maybe Mizushima Hiro quitting the butler gig and just being the boyfriend.

We didn't finish Binbo Danshi either. We too love Oguri Shun but Binbo Danshi was a sleepfest. Shun could portray a host of characters (from a barely grunting heartthrob athlete to a gravure model's number one fan) but a naive moron -- he cannot pull off.

Celeb to Binbo Taro should've ended before it actually did -- at the auction. And the Paris Hilton analog should not have gotten poor. Taro should've just married up and gotten his children a better future (like Overboard) -- that would've been easier to accept after all this is supposed to be a romantic comedy.

I wouldn't consider Atashinchi no Danshi a bad series. It was good all around except the part where it was revealed that Chisato married her biological father. That's just so disgustingly creepy, in any culture. It's like savoring your favorite dish only to find a strand of short, curly hair at the bottom of the bowl. EWWWW.

, I LOVED mei-chan. ok, the story was out of this world and totally weird and unbelieveable but it was so much fun to watch. somehow, i really liked Nana too. i thought she was very cute in her character and realiastic. maybe she should have shown more passion into her acting. but over all, i thought it was much better than Hana kimi. if you call mei-chan a fan service to Hiro fans, the what would you call Hana kimi then?

Zetai Kareshi, SO right in that Aibu Saki should have gotten a medal for most annoying lead character in the drama. not fan of mokomichi myself so i only watched it for Hiro's sake but i still don't call it a good drama.

as for celeb to binbo taro, it started well and funny enough but i really don't know what happened from ep7 till the end. well, actually started to annoy me from ep5 and then by ep 7 &8 was so irritated and annoyed of everyone that had enough and stoped watching. every single character in there was so annoying.

Innocent Love is another bad jdrama. maki's fake smiles were so creepy.

and last season's drama Yako no Kaiden,
oh my god, i really don't know why i am keeping on self toturing myself. Naohito in his worst acting drama ever together with yoshino Kimura. they meant be lovers but there is 0 chemistry between them on the screen and at the same time try to make you believe in their great love. and to make it even worse, there is unnecessary naration over entire ep describing in details the worst story lines ever written. and then comes the worst end theme of history of jdramas with his lines at very end "i'll kill you"

Totally agree. The last two episodes were especially horrible.

Mei-chan was a pure fan-service drama with very mediocre acting and plot. Hana Kimi, on the other hand, was brilliantly funny. True, there was little chemistry between Shun and Maki, but the secondary characters in Hana Kimi were amazing: Nakatsu, Oscar, Tennoji

. There was not a single funny moment in Mei-chan. It was plain boring and Eikura Nana can't act to save her life.

The scene where the two brain-deads are sitting alone in the house was just awful. I wanted to throw something at the television.

Yeah, I think the last couple of episodes... they seem like to just finish it up. It did start off strong but....... yeah. But hmmm...... I haven't seen any J-Drama that I will call worst or bad that I have seen recently. (besides the ones I mentioned already) Ah, I won't call it worse, but I don't think it was all that great: Akai Ito. It had that Koizora feel to it, but I dunno.... the main actress didn't appeal too me much. I t was more meh.

OMG he was SOOOOOO annoying saying her name a gazillion times! "Kiyoka! KIYOKA!!!!" He just said it annoyingly too...........

I have to agree, Innocent Love is probably the worst Drama that I have actually finished. I hated Maki's character for some reason. I am not sure why, probably because of all of the retarded/borderline insane things she did. Wondering into peoples houses, stealing photos etc. It was just so unrealistic that anyone would trust her, let alone leave her there in that nice house by herself.
Someone mentioned HanaKimi, and I have to say that Maki and Shun were very hard to watch together, but the supporting cast is what I loved about that drama. All of the secondary characters were so awesome that I ended up loving it just for them.

Love Generation is my choice. I expected a touching romantic story, but received the most primitive soap opera I ever saw. It looked like some Mexican telenovella from 80's and not the best one. Ridiculous plot, stupid and irritating characters and absolutely unbearable main actress. It was an awful experience. The only good points were the theme song and Norika Fujiwara, but that's all.

Thank goodness,someone else said it. I thought it was really annoying too, but was afraid of the backlash if I mentioned it (I know some people just love it).

I have it somewhere but didn't watch yet... Might never watch then...

For me it was probably Love Generation. The main actress was just atrocious and I was hoping every second that Kimura would just strangle her but since I figured thats not going to happen I just ditched the drama.

Though I did like the scene in the (i think) first episode where they were under the rainbow bridge because it reminded me of my vacation there...

I love Mao too but yeah...Couldn't stand First Kiss. Didn't even complete the 1st ep. It's really the 1st ep that either makes or breaks the drama for me.

Worst J-Drama ever? Karei naru Ichizoku!!! Honestly, I have never ever seen a drama that is so damn boring then this one. I don´t know how many times I felt asleep while watching it, but this drama has absolutly no interesting scenes. I definitly hate this drama and I will never understand, why it has the title "drama of the year 2007". I absolutly don´t understand it!

Matsu Takako atrocious? Are you kidding me! She is one of my favorite actresses and Takuya and her are one of the most popular pairs ever.

I agree with Innocent Love too!! I seriously HATE dramas where the acting lead is portrayed as a 'perfect' character...can do no evil only good! The only reason I liked it was because I was falling for the male lead physically and because of hiroki too...he looked really good too!!

Another drama I hated was Hana Kimi...I really don't like these series that are just full of idols and full of baka-ness! Don't get me wrong, I love idol filled series sometimes and I like comedy sometimes but I hate stupidity and a lot of the times the line between comedy and stupidity is crossed. Also...what the hell was so good about Shun's character?!??! And Toma's role was just silly...plus, (sorry personal attack) but what was with Hiro's hair?? I think a few of the supporting case were what kept me watching it.

I rarely drop series..I think I have only started but not finished a handful of dramas...but one of them is the recent detective drama with Shota and the lead lady is Odagiri Joe's wife....(sorry the drama is so bad I don't ever remember the name or actors!)...it was pure stupidity!! The funny thing was that it talks about how they want to drag out the investigate for the who episode and have the big reveal at the end...and in reality...they dragged each episode pointlessly to reveal something lukewarm if not crap at the end!

Another series I watched but was pretty annoyed throughout was Tomorrow, I absolutely hated the naive-ness of the lead actress' character....like no common sense...I seriously hate watching those 100% sentimental value characters who always think they are right when they are plainly not being realistic and don't realise that without the people they hate and are always having a go at, they would not have a job, money, life!

Ok, that's it for the moment...I love this thread...get to do some drama bashing without worrying about be scolded for!!
