Dramas for an Intro to JDrama
Hello everyone.
I will be doing a panel about JDrama at MomoCon, and wanted some opinions on what JDramas you think would make good introductions to fans of anime? The general age group is 12-18, and they do need to be somewhat PG-rated, as it is a family-friendly con.
I will be showing 5-15 dramas in clip form and talk a little about each drama, then have a short open discussion. There have been other JDrama panels at local cons, but most of them appealed to a much older age group. I already have some ideas on some of the clips, but I wanted to get opinions without 'spoiling' yours first.

High school Drama.
Gokusen, Densha Otoko, Gto, Kindaichi shounen no jikenbo, Rookies, dragon zakura, Nobuta wo Produce, Ao no Jidai, Life, Seito Shokun, Yankee Bokou ni Kaeru, Jyoou no Kyoushitsu
But since the target audiences are anime fans, just go with Gto, Gokusen, Densha Otoko and Kindaichi. You can't go wrong with that.

There's a 'Recommended Drama' thread, so you don't really have to open a new thread for this... mods?
Anyway. I find it quite hard to give a recommendation because your preferences seem quite diverse. While Sekai no Chuushin de and One Litre are good melodramas, you also like the light comedies such as Ohitorisama and Attention Please. So I just give you a few overall recs of dramas that both got good ratings and I thought were awesome:
Probably the two most popular youth/school centric JDrama comedies are Nobuta wo Produce and Hana Yori Dango. They are both good dramas for their categories, light, funny, sweet, and memorable. Personally I prefer Nobuta wo Produce, but I consider the Japanese version of HYD the best among the 3 different ones.
For more mature JDrama comedies, I recommend Densha Otoko. It's definitely a drama like no other -- the love story of an anime geek and a beautiful, sophisticated OL. It's not for you if you're just looking for an attractive, young male lead, but it's hilarious, charming and special.
My Boss, My Hero is worth a watch as well, about a mafia heir going back to HS. Cue hilarity. A very memorable drama with an original plot. Nagase Tomoya shines.
As for melodramas, the quintessential dark drama, Byakuyakou, is quite good, and is excellently subbed by SARS.

i really like this drama, Kitagawa Keiko & Yamapi is a very good pair. funny and very dramatic
I could never thank you enough for suggesting me this drama, i really loved it and i agree that the two main actors were great together , can you suggest me any other similar drama? i'm currently watching Proposal Daisakusen with YamapiBulykin wrote:you ara looking for Buzzer Beatriki_kun wrote:Ok , i need some suggestions , i've watched a few j-dramas , i would like to watch romance dramas but with happy ending, no sad/tragic ending, something bittersweet with little or not at all comedy in it

hmmm, i don't know, maybe Hana Yori Dango? with Inoue Mao is it a really funny and cute little drama
But if you like Yamapi, you must check the Long Love Letter and the Kurosagi, and of course Nobuta wa Produce!
hey if ur still looking for one thts bittersweet with a happy ending try majou no jouken. it stars tackey and was made about 11 years ago but its still really good if no one had told me, i would never have guessed it was made that long ago. its really good try it!riki_kun wrote:I could never thank you enough for suggesting me this drama, i really loved it and i agree that the two main actors were great together , can you suggest me any other similar drama? i'm currently watching Proposal Daisakusen with YamapiBulykin wrote:you ara looking for Buzzer Beatriki_kun wrote:Ok , i need some suggestions , i've watched a few j-dramas , i would like to watch romance dramas but with happy ending, no sad/tragic ending, something bittersweet with little or not at all comedy in it

suspense dramas
Hello,
I'm in the mood for dark/suspense/ thriller/whodunit type of japanese or korean dramas. I just watched 'A Sleeping Forest' and "A Million Stars Falling From the Sky". They were great!
Any suggestions?

The obvious answer for you may be Hana Kimi, if you haven't seen it yet.ToroHime wrote:I really enjoy funny JDramas! Comedy with romance types. A few that I watched and liked are:

New dramas?
Hey,
So can someone please tell me what's a good 'new' drama that is out and it's sub files are being released? I'm currently watching Bloody Monday 2, Yamato Nadeshiko and I saw few episodes of Tokujo Kabachi but not really interested. And I kinda just stopped watching Deep Love and Shokojo Seira.
Exams are finally over and I have this very long weekend ahead so I want something to watch. If someone can hook me up with a good, once again 'new' drama it'd be much appreciated.
I've been watching Dramas for over 2 years now so please do not suggest any old common ones like (HYD, Rookies, etc.) I've seen a lot of series so yeah...
Thank you in advance.

I just wached My Girl (2009), so it's not so new, but I kinda liked it. Not everyone likes it though. Fumo Chitai is nice one, and I believe it has subs. And if you like history and not so fast, but interesting plots: Ryoma Den.
And stay away from Yamato Nadeshiko (...). Really^^
PS. How's your exams?
PS. How's your exams?
Thanks you.
I'm gonna download the first episode of My Girl and see how it is for myself. Hopefully it's good. And I'm not so into History stuff so I'll see about that...
I'm trying to get the new drama http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Massugu_na_Otoko of Sato Ryuta downloaded but it's going pretty slow. Also seems like only 4 episodes subbed so far and hasn't been updated in quite some time. I wonder if they canceled the project. Hmm.... As for Yamato Nadeshiko... yeah it's a bit weird but it's a time-waster I tell ya. I just watch it for the hek of it, I mean I gotta admit it is funny here and there.
And exams went pretty good actually, the past 2 weeks felt like hell because of all the studying and exams every day. However all that hard work seem to pay off, I mean I found out I passed my exams from last week... I'll find out the grades from the ones this week soon. I think I did good enough, hopefully it is... now I have this long weekend, no classes till Wednesday!! I must enjoy it.

Japanese subs are for the whole series, but...

I'm a bit sad they cut Bloody Monday 2 short, that is why I'm taking 2 weeks break, heh^^
Yamato Nadeshiko is a big time-waster, you're right. I was trying to watch more than 3 episodes and I couldn't. I tried Tokujo Kabachi as well, but, damn... I really didn't care. I didn't care for more than 4 episodes of Nakanai to Kimeta Hi as well. But I had funny 2 hours on Saigo no Yakusoku (not everyone from the main 5 appeals to me, but 2 of them is enough, ne?).
Magerarenai Onna is not bad, really, although not as well paced as BM 2^^
Ganbatte with your studies, eh, youth...

I was watching Yamato Nadeshiko and Massugu na Otoko, but stopped watching both of them. Actually, I managed to get to episode 9 of Massugu na Otoko- this drama, I suggest you watch when you have nothing better to do. I managed to watch My Girl till the very end, but didn't think much of that drama.
I think the dramas that I really enjoyed from last season was Liar Game Season 2 and Ohitorisama-it was such a cute drama, and Naka nai to kimeta Hi.

Re: New dramas?
I'm disappointed in Japanese Dramas lately. No originality whatsoever. I can only hope that it improves next season.ik0n wrote:Hey,

If you haven't seen them yet, I would recommend Love Shuffle, Shiroi Haru, and Akai Ito from last year. They are all completely different, varying from entertaining comedy/romance (Love Shuffle), to heartwarming family/human drama (Shiroi Haru), to high school romance/drama (Akai Ito).
If you've seen them, then try Buzzer Beat? It wasn't horrible, although acting was...yeah.
I honestly can't recommend any "new" dramas. This is the first time in a while that I'm watching no new dramas since they all seemed so uninteresting.
I could give you more specific recommendations if you want for some "older" dramas (past few years), but I'm assuming you've seen most of the good ones.

1 Litre of Tears?
I could name more, but I'll stop there. All three are really good Jdramas that are original and really stand out when compared to most dramas. These are some of THE Japanese dramas to watch, and I'd assume that many people have seen them.
Hey, I've been lurking these forums for a while and downloaded some dramas from here, so I thought I could get a recommendation from u guys ;)
I've watched a couple of dramas, and I really enjoyed those short dramas that aren't televised by big stations. I especially like (seen just 2 of them, but they have something great in them) dramas where the main character is also the narrator. I've seen Late night diner (shinya shokudo) and cat taxi. I really loved them. Does anyone know any dramas that might resemble these?
Also, when will we get the nodame cantabile movie ? I'm really waiting for it since december.

Maybe Pandora? Though my impression is that most late night dramas are not like Shinya Shokudo. Pandora is quite different too.mog123 wrote:Hey, I've been lurking these forums for a while and downloaded some dramas from here, so I thought I could get a recommendation from u guys ;)

Hey all, I wondered if I could get some recommendations as I am a bit stuck on what to watch next. You can find my list of Dramas I've seen here: http://jdorama.com/viewprofile.46207.htm.
I'd really like to avoid anything too dark or too heavy, preferably with a reasonably happy ending too. Things like Yamato Nadeshiko Shichihenge, Mei-chan no Shitsuji, Hana Yori Dango or Tatta Hitotsu no Koi as an example but I am open to suggestions. But nothing like Koizora or Maou. Which I loved BTW but just too sad for me right now. Reasonably lighthearted but with good solid stories. JDramas only please as not into anything else. Thanks so much.

if you like the Life, i think Seito Shokun! is the good recommendation for youStrife91 wrote:I'm new to JDrama and I'm looking for some recommendations. I've watched Life, Shimokita Glory Days and Hanazakari no Kimitachi e. I enjoyed them all, especially Life.
same as the Life, but with a little humor
I don't know what to watch now, i ran out of ideas, if can someone can suggest me more romance japanese dramas it would be great, not sad ending please and something kinda newish, so far the j-dramas i enjoyed are:
Hana Yori Dango 1+2
Buzzer Beat
Smile
Tatta Hitotsu no Koi
Proposal Daisakusen
Hana Kimi
Ima, ai ni Yukimasu
Nobuta wo Produce
Densha Otoko
Sapuri
Hana Yori Dango 1+2
Buzzer Beat
Smile
Tatta Hitotsu no Koi
Proposal Daisakusen
Hana Kimi
Ima, ai ni Yukimasu
Nobuta wo Produce
Densha Otoko
Sapuri
From the list you gave I am assuming you like younger high school centered dramas? If so I think you may enjoy Hana KImi if you haven't already seen it. It is a little to fluffy and slapstick for me it was cute.riki_kun wrote:I don't know what to watch now, i ran out of ideas, if can someone can suggest me more romance japanese dramas it would be great, not sad ending please and something kinda newish, so far the j-dramas i enjoyed are:

For dramas with older casts I suggest love shuffle its really a great show. Plus for the price of one drama you get 3 or 4 romances out of it.
First Kiss is pretty good but can drag a bit in places.
Last friends has a fairly odd sort of romance that is very sad and touching at times, but ends happily if in a very offbeat sort of way.
Yasashii Jiikan this one is a little on the old side compared to the others. It is from 2002 I think. And though the romance in the story is a secondary plot I highly enjoyed this drama.
Others that are fun to watch, but not exactly deep:
Kimi wa petto
Zettai Kareshi
Hope that this helps you a little bit.
I've seen Hana Kimi already, is in the list i posted , maybe you missed it, as for Zettai Kareshi that's a movie not a drama series right?pyxee wrote:riki_kun wrote:I don't know what to watch now, i ran out of ideas, if can someone can suggest me more romance japanese dramas it would be great, not sad ending please and something kinda newish, so far the j-dramas i enjoyed are:

Yes, Zettai Kareshi is 11 episodes and a special.
As for my recommendation I'll say Manhattan Love Story. I wish I had the raw files so I could watch them and help study my Japanese, but unfortunately I don't. Luckily for you, though, it's subbed by SARS and you can find a batch torrent here on D-Addicts. At least for me I find it hilarious.
