 101 Kaime no Puropozu [101回目のプロポーズ]
one of the earlier doramas but very entertaining nonetheless. have to deal with some suspension of disbeliefs but in the end you end up rooting for the stubborn geezer... |  Beautiful life [ビューティフルライフ]
this may be the finest dorama i've seen so far in terms of production as well as acting and directing. everything from the soundtrack to the cinematography and dialogue is solid and seamless. you won't find overbearing moral lectures nor camp comedy, all you'll find is splendid storytelling. |  Kou kou kyoushi [高校教師]
taboo storyline to generate ratings but the chemistry between the two main characters made it palatable. one of the first dorama i watched and especially noted the, then unconventional, sad ending. good overall flow in storytelling. |
 Long vacation [ロングバケーション]
girlfriend got me to watch this, which i thought at first was totally predictable. but character development, which is rare in j-dorama, was convincing and the music was good, if you like piano music. |  Moto Kare [元カレ]
predictable storyline but a refreshing approach, some may vehemently disagree, to the hackeneyed love triangle. hirosue was surprisingly good in this but the cake goes to doomoto in his totally compelling performance as the guy caught between his first true love who, as she tells it, may've inadvertently ended their relationship due to pride and the demure elevator girl truly in love with him. what to do...what to do... |  Summer snow
touching story and okay acting. hirosue-san is pretty but not a good actor. music may be the best part of this somewhat overly contrived storyline. |
 Swing Girls [スウィングガールズ]
one of the funniest comedies in years from japan...almost epic in clever dialogue (translation loses so much of the wit) and collection of hilarious scenes. begins a bit slow but catches momentum and never lets go. |  Tokyo rabu sutori [東京ラブストーリー]
this is a really well made love triangle story in which the characters are not overshadowed by their looks, which made it more compelling. this is more geared towards young adults and less for teens. only those that have never experienced will find this series boring and meaningless. | Toshishita No Otoko [年下之男]
enjoyed the work of the actors and director..."a woman is a woman no matter her age"...this series may have one of the scariest and creepiest villainess of all time... |
