A fantastic show and a real emotional rollercoaster. Sawamura Ikki is a really fantasitc and charasmatic actor, I really felt for hsi character he made me laugh and cry, he was really fantastic in his role. All the supporting cast did a fantastic job too, there wasn't a character that I did not like or that I thought didn't do a good job.
Like when I watched 1 Litre of Tears I knew the end was inevitable, which made it all the more heart renching.
Anyway a really fantastic show definitely underrated and definitely deserves a watch <3 |  Attack No.1 [アタック No.1]

I enjoyed this dorama a lot more than I expected. I'd put off buying it for the longest time because I thought, I couldn't really enjoy a sports drama but as soon as I put it on I was hooked. It was a really great series, I really enjoyed Aya's character and how she developed.
There was one twist near the end I didn't see coming and it really quite upset me. It'san emotional series it made me happy, angry and it made me really cry all at the same time. Definitely worth a watch in my opinion ^_^ | Attention Please [アテンションン プリース]

Absolutely LOVED this drama!!! I am sooo glad that I listened to all the good reviews people had given this. I must admit before I watched this I was put off because Ryo was the main guy in it O.O but now alas I am fickle... and have become a bit of a Ryo fan! I really liked his character in this and his character's Chemistry with Aya. (Who was fantastic in this drama) she really made it for me cute (I'm jealous ^__^) and hillarious!
FANTASTIC drama! I'd recommend it to everyone!!! |

I've only watched the first episode so far. It seems like an okay series but it's missing that spark that usually gets me to finish a show in one go. Maybe I'll go back to it at some stage, but I have more exciting doramas to watch right now O_O | Brother Beat [ブラザー☆ビート]

I really had no idea what to expect with this drama.
When I started watching the first episode I immediately liked Tetsuji's character and when we were introduced to his first love interest I thought oh no I don't like her. But thankfully by the end of the episode it turned out that the love interest was someone else and that was Ryoko's character who was absolutely adorable. (I really liked her)
This is a really sweet series it has some amazingly cute romantic scenes that made me happy.
It's mainly a family drama, about how this family turned out without a father.
All the characters went through great character development through the whole series. I think what made Tetsuji my favourite character was his character change, he was so work focused to begin with, but by the end he seemed to have realised that there were more important things. (It also helped that he was pretty ^_^)
Overall a really good series! I'm glad I saw it through to the end |

A really great show, I thorougly enjoyed it, makes it all the more sweeter to know that it was based on a true story *sways* kya how cute! Anyway the characters were enjoyable, I loved Hayami Mokomichi as the protective brother, I keep inadvertantly finding dramas with him in, maybe fate is trying to tell me something! Anyway I loved the soundtrack I must find it now, sounded very 80's <3
A really heart warming story and it wasn't painful at all, definitely worth a watch very very funny and very sweet ^_^ | Dragon Zakura [ドラゴン桜]

This show suprisedme. I had put off watching it for so long, but finally caved because YamaPi is in it, so I gave it a chance and I found myself REALLY enjoying it! I thought it would be another GTO but it wasn't it was different and interesting. I loved all the characters and their growth and I liked how the ending wasn't predictable right until the last second I did not know what was going to happen, but I was happy with what did very happy.
I loved the relationship between Pi's character and his childhood friend that was VERY sweet.
Anyway a very enjoyable show I'll probably sit though it again some time soon <3 |  Engine [エンジン]

Once again KimuTaku picked a winner!
This was fun, sweet, sad, it had action, drama, romance. It was a wonderful idea and it was great to see how Kimu's character Jiroh changed after his time at the children's home and how his character changed the children and other adults there.
It was unusual and interesting to see Kimu play a character that was constantly being looked down on by others and yet never gave up!

It's not the best dorama I have ever seen but it certainly is fun (in my opinion) Fujiki Naohito makes this series for me he is so very funny and lovable and I love the random English he comes out with (which is suprisingly good) I especially love the way he says 'what?' <3 |  Gokusen [ごくせん]

This had big boots to fill after the first one left such an impression.
I did really enjoy this show but I really felt MatsuJun not being there, I missed his character and so couldn't enjoy it as much as the first. (It was still as funny as the first and whoo It has Jin and Kame ^_^) |

Definitely one of my favourite dramas now. I never expected it to be so good, I've always skipped over it in the past. But I caught a random clip on YouTube, when I was searching for something totally different. I became intrigued and so brought it and man am I so glad I did. It kept me occupied for hours once I put it on, I had to sit through it all, I got up many hours later with a stiff back!
I loved the relationships three in particular, obviously the main romance between Shinkai and Ogawa, that was very sweet and not too heavy. I loved the relatiobship between Kouda and Togashi and last but by no means least I really really liked the relationship between Kouda and Shinkai. Kouda may seem to hate Shinkai the most to start with but as the show progresses it's obvious that Kouda sees in Shinkai who he used to be and wants to guide him to bring out the potential he know he has.
Overall the show was exciting, romantic and a lot of un. All the actors played their part well, the acting convinced me (but then I am no great critique). Only one character annoyed me and that was Rina's character... she was ok by the end though.
Definitely worth a watch, definitely one of my favourites!!! <3 |  GTO [麻辣教師]

A really good JDorama! I watched this because it's so hyped up and whenever you get a new School Teacher drama it is ALWAYS compared to this. I must say I thought it was really fantastic. He made me laugh so much the class made me really angry at times and where I felt I could never forgive Miyabi... of course when she turned herself around I forgave her right away... I'm so fickle ha ha.
Onizuka and Fuyutsuki made a really cute couple, I think it's really sweet that they're married in real life.
Anyway definitely worth a watch in my opinion!!! | Hana Yori Dango [花より男子]

HYD was my first Jdorama I was so excited to watch it and it never let me down.
It's a fantastic show. Domyouji (MatsuJun) really grew on me as a character, I started off not particularly liking him but by the end I absolutely loved him ^_^
I got this because I was always intrigued by the anime but never got around to buying it!
I got this instead, thus starting my Jdorama obsession. |

Not as good as the first but still worth a watch and I still enjoyed it very much.
It was nice to see how everyone had moved on and developed since the first show and the ending was really sweet and well desrved... especially after the last couple of painful episodes.
MatsuJun made me laugh so much in places his character can be agressive and arguementitive one moment and hyperactive and childish the next.
Anyway good show, fantastic ending! <3 | Hanazakari no Kimitachi e [花ざかりの君たちへ]
Rating: 8/10 (Watched)
Ok so there were some things I really loved about this dorama and there were other things that I wasn't so keen on.
I was happy with the overall arc of the story though I feel that due to it's tendency to veer off from the original story, it wasn't as smooth as it could have been.
Maki and Shun were really cute together as Sano and Ashiya but their chemistry had nothing on that of the characters in the manga. In fact I think that the chemistry seemed stronger between Nakatsu and Ashiya.
Saying that I was still happy with how it ended so I'm not going to complain ^___^ |  Hero

Another KimuTaku great. No wonder it pulled in such high ratings!!! It's funny and serious, it's spirited and has a bit of romance.
I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought, I was put off initially about people going on about the open ending, but it was not half as bad as I'd thought, I have seen endings a LOT more open. Anyway look forards to the new movie in September ^_^
Favourite episode... 9 ^_^ |

Follows on in tradition of the Hero series. Kuriyo may have been working in a different town, but the Tokyo team wasn't forgotten, it was still connected to the story.

I'm giving it an 8 because it was a really good dorama that I really enoyed. The characters were well acted and developed well through the show. I absolutely loved Yamamoto Yusuke's character he was too adorable for words Bless him and his unrequited love he deserved a hug (and I am more than happy to supply XD). I think suprisingly out of the four brothers my favourite was the youngest Hinata. I liked how he grew. When he first met Kayo he wasn't the nicest to her and was very anti-social but by the end she was the one he ran to when he was upset, it was sweet.
Oh and I loved Kayo x Wataru... the whole Kayo x Wataru/ Satoshi thing was enjoyable to watch. Wataru's character was somewhat sweet... but by golly he could be harsh when he wanted!
Overall a great series! If I can buy it in the future I will! Well worth my money. | Ichi Ritoru no Namida [１リットルの涙]

This was a really really good drama. Good as it was I don't think I could put myself through it again, it is so very sad. But to all people who haven't watched it before, you should see it at least once. It's a really touching drama, really sweet and extremely emotional!
This was the first dorama I have seen Eriki Sawajiri act in and she really played the role fantastically! Ryo was Kakkoii!!! And I really loved Fujiki Naohito's character he was fantastic and sweet and caring and I want one ^__^
Overall a great series! If you watch it make sure you have a couple of toilet rolls at the ready! |

It wasn't really fantastic but there were certain aspects of the show that I did really enjoy. The music for one I thought was superb, very creepy it gave me goosebumps but it was good XD.
The actors were all fun to watch, there wasn't a very strong storyline but what storyline there was I did enjoy.
The only thing that was slightly off about the show was repetitiveness once you'd seen the first episode you knew how all the others were going to pan out.
All the same it didn't stop me enjoying it. Pretty good show just not fantastic! <3 | Karei naru Ichizoku [華麗なる一族]
Rating: 10/10 (Bought & Watched)
An absolutely fantastic drama! This is definitely one of the most underrated dramas out there, I think because of it's setting and dark storyline.
It's one of the most powerful dramas that I have ever seen. The acting was all top notch. (Another star performance from KimuTaku)
I found the whole Father-Son-Grandfather story fascinating, I was expecting what happened in episode 8 from the very start but the twist at the very end (in regards to this triangle) was VERY unexpected and extremely upsetting.
It may not have made me cry all the way through like 1 Litre of Tears, but the last episode of this show made me cry harder than any other show I have ever seen.
It won't be everyone's cup of tea (Definitely NOT a fangirl drama) but I really enjoyed it!!! (It's up there with the best in my opinion) |  Kimi wa Petto [きみはペット]

Loved this! This was the third MatsuJun drama I watched (when I was going through his drama list and watching almost everything with him in ha ha) It was great to see him playing such a completely different character to his character in say HYD or Gokusen. He really pulled it off he was fantastic as Momo, he made a great dog! XD Cute drama! I like!!! <3 |

It was a sweet drama and good for a first time watch (though I don't see a great deal of replay value). All the actors did a great job, I warmed to all their personalities, even the bad ones. Loved Pi for his part he was just adorable as the youngest of the siblings, loved his personality.
The drama definitely wasn't lacking in comedy, it really had me screaming several times.
Overall not a bad drama, the ending was left a little too untied for my liking, after everything that had happened I thought I'd come out with a more definite finish. |  Majo no jouken [魔女の条件]

Wah I really enjoyed this drama it was light-hearted and sweet.
Nagase was fantastic as Yu-Chan it always made me laugh a little in shock that he could go from being the cool, hunky Sakuraba Yuchiro to the geeky, uber cute, track suit wearing Yu-chan. He was funny and adorable. This is the first drama I have seen Yuko Takeuchi in and she was absolutely adorable. It's hard not to love her.
All the supporting cast were fantastic too by the end of the show I really liked and felt for all of the characters. It was interesting to see how people changed as Yuchiro touched their lives.
Anyway it's a must watch, it's not too deep and not too angsty (the angst is upped in the last couple of eps but it's nothing really major). Just nice light-hearted family fun! ^_^ | My Boss, My Hero [マイボスマイヒロ]

I absolutely LOVED this show, all of it!
Some people did not like the ending, but I did!
Nagase was absolutely hillarious!!! And he was also cute, cool and hard as nails all at the same time!
There was not one character that I did not like in this drama.
A lot of people did not like Sakurakouji but I thought he was sweet and unselfish and I just wanna give him a hug.
Nagase's relationship with Hikari was adorable! I LOVED his stutter... and the lumber jack! ... Bless him XD
I definitely recommend this dorama to anyone who likes light-hearted, fun, comedies.
I really really enjoyed it, after having such high hopes for this series I am so glad that I was not left disappointed, not even for a second. |  Mystery Minzoku Gakusha Yakumo Itsuki [ミステリー民俗学者八雲樹]

I don't know I can't really score it any lower if I'm being fair because I have only watched 2 and a half episodes, but I really can't be bothered to watch anymore. I fell asleep in the first episode... I guess it's just not my cup of tea, it has potential but the whole feel of the drama didn't do anything for me.
Maybe I could have enjoyed it further on but I am really not motivated to try... |

If I had realised how much I was gonna enjoy this dorama I would have put it in my DVD player the second I got it. In fact I had this several days before I actually put it on and once I started watching it I was hooked!
I'm so glad I brought this on a whim, it is extremely funny and I just LOVE how the relationship develops between Nodame and Chiaki. It's really heart warming. There were moments that really made me 'squee'

I really enjoyed this drama. Like NC I got it on a whim and like NC it really suprised my, I very much enjoyed it.
It was such a fantastic show, it was great to see Keisuke Koide in something without the afro XD (haven't seen him in anything apart from NC) I couldn't believe it was the same person his character was completely different, I guess it proves he's a good actor. It was my second Kyoko Hasegawa drama, she impressed me in this too.
It was a very, VERY cute love story. The end seemed a little rushed? Well it felt it in my opinion. The rest of the show had a nice pace, the onlything that stops me giving it a 10 is I'd like to see an SP or something, just to make me completely satisfied.
Anyway a great show! Glad I watched it <3 |

A really sweet dorama. To be honest I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did... maybe that's why I did enjoy it. When I start watching a show with high expectations I generally come out disappointed.
All the characters were likable suprisingly a female character in this show was my favourite *shock horror* and not only a female but the other woman (kind of) I really liked Chiko I thought she was adorable.
I was happy to see Matsuda Shota in another dorama, I looked forwards to seeing him in other stuff after HanaDan and here I found my chance (though a complete suprise when he walked into the show... but a nice suprise XD)
Aibu Saki was likable I really liked her character as did I like Hayami he did a great job as the lead (their characters were sweet together)

Koichi is FANTASTIC in it! I'm so glad I finally got to see him in a drama he is such a Prince! (He was great as steely cool Himuro) Kyoko was adorable in her role as Kurumi I find it hard not to like her.
I LOVED the chemistry between Himuro and Kurumi, that's what really made the drama for me ^_^ |

What really made me get this was that Odagiri Jo was in it, I love him and he did a fantastic job as Saito!!! Saito was my favourite character (not that I'm biased) I really liked Shingo as Isami I really felt for him and Koji made a fantastic Hijikata! |  Summer snow

I really enjoyed this drama. I was going through a dry patch with Jdoramas, I were watching a lot of shows that I didn't particularly enjoy, but then this show came along and I really really liked it.
Toko is adorable, I love her determined attitude, she does some cringe worthy things to get her guy but HEY they seem to work on Yuji you gotta hand it to the girl XD.
This is the first Tsuyoshi drama I have seen and wow... he's really very good ^_^ I'm more of a Koichi fan personally but Tsuyoshi really won me over in this show, I'm glad I gave it a shot! Yosh! |  Yoshitsune [義経]

I still haven't managed to finish this I'm about 5/6 episodes shy of watching the whole thing. It is a good historical series but by golly it made me cry so many times!
Takki did great job as Yoshitsune he really brought the character to life. I really felt I could understand what he was feeling and most of the time it made me want to cry ^_^ wah!
Great Show! But a one time watch I don't think I could put myself through it again... saying that it is pretty long ^^; |
