 14 sai no Haha [１４歳の母]
Rating: 7/10 (Watched)
It was a bit different from what I expected and the focus seemed to be on trying to make the audience cry rather than the actual subject of a 14-year-old mother. The ending was good, but near the beginning (around episodes 2-5), the series was incredibly over-dramatic in a bad way. Miura Haruma always had a blank expression on his face and his character was completely useless and indecisive, doing whatever his mother told him to do. Shida Mirai is a good actress, but her character was annoyingly stubborn at times. | Akihabara@DEEP [アキハバラ＠DEEP]
Rating: 8/10 (Watched)
Fun and crazy. It was very manga-like, which I loved. The main characters were all very interesting and different. I love anime and manga myself, so it was fun looking in on the otaku world in Akihabara. |  Attention Please [アテンションン プリース]

 Bara no nai Hanaya [薔薇のない花屋]
(Watched)
I don稚 know how I feel about Katori Shingo痴 acting. His voice was dull and monotonous and he would smile oddly at random moments. I don稚 know if that was just his character Eiji or actually him. Also, I hated Takeuchi Yuko痴 character. She was completely predictable. However, I did like the relationship between Eiji and his daughter. | Brother Beat [ブラザー☆ビート]

Rating: 7/10 (Watched)
It was a short series, but I enjoyed watching it and learning about the Byakkotai. Yamapi's stoic expressions came in handy, since he was a samurai going through such rough times. Tanaka Koki's role was also memorable. |

I知 a sucker for shojo-type series, so I loved this show. Matsujun really stood out to me here; him and Inoue were great together. I couldn稚 stop watching it. |

Rating: 9/10 (Watched)
I致e read the manga before, so I was pretty excited to see a drama for it. It was one of the most funny, entertaining shows I致e come across. I loved the cast, both the major and minor characters. I don稚 think there was a minute I was bored during the whole show, haha. |  Ichi Ritoru no Namida [１リットルの涙]
Rating: 10/10 (Watched)
I bawled my eyes out every single episode. Even thinking back to it months later, I still get all teary eyed. This was one of the few dramas that actually had an impact one me; seeing Aya trying her best was really inspiring. |

Rating: 7/10 (Watched)
A few people are bashing it, but I guess it痴 good to remember that this was originally a manga. Of course it値l be unrealistic, just like most of the dramas I致e watched. A human pet seemed a bit odd at first, but after watching the drama I didn稚 think it was so crazy. Sumire and Momo痴 relationship was so innocent and adorable. Momo was willing to throw away his pride to be with her. I think that痴 very touching~ |  Kisarazu Cat's Eye [木更津キャッツアイ]

Rating: 7/10 (Watched)
The character development was a bit of a mess� Nishikido succeeded in creeping me out and making me nervous whenever he was around, but his character seemed a lot deeper than they made him out to be. Michiru was absolutely horrible. To me, Eita痴 character was probably the only likable one. I give it a 7 because at least it was entertaining to watch. |

Rating: 10/10 (Watched)
I adored Maou so much that it was hard waiting for it to be subbed every week. The storyline was pretty dark and interesting. Ikuta did well, like always, and I loved Ohno痴 subtle acting and the genius character he played. I liked all the minor characters too, like Soda and Kasai. Many parts of the drama were really intense and the ending was amazing. |
 My Boss, My Hero [マイボスマイヒロ]
(Watched) |  Nobuta wo Produce [野ブタ。をプロデュース]
Rating: 9/10 (Watched)
The first drama I ever watched, and Akira still remains one of my favorite characters. He was weird and hilarious, Shuji was cool, and Nobuta was adorable. It was kinda the clich� 菟opular guy takes a girl who gets bullied and makes her popular� show, but it was a lot of fun to watch nonetheless. |  Nodame Cantabile [のだめ カンタビ－レ]
Rating: 9/10 (Watched)
I don't know much about music, but Nodame Cantabile was still a lot of fun to watch and some of the concert scenes were very beautiful. I'm glad they made a live action drama for it, because when I tried reading the manga I couldn't picture the music in my head. Nodame and Chiaki were both really unique characters and the cast was great. |
 Proposal Daisakusen [プロポーズ大作戦]
Rating: 5/10 (Watched)
I honestly don稚 know how I managed to get through this. I guess once I get halfway through a show, I have to continue watching it. First of all, the show was extremely repetitive and the relationship between the two main characters was just annoying. Yamapi痴 acting did not impress me at all; he looked like he didn稚 even want to be there. I think the relationship between Eri and Tsuru was more interesting than the main character痴. | RHPlus [RHプラス]
(Watched) | Seigi no Mikata [正義の味方]
Rating: 8/10 (Watched)
It was pretty different from the usual dramas I like, but it was still entertaining to watch. It was a bit repetitive at times; the episodes followed the same formula most of the time. The relationship between Yoko and Makiko was hilarious. Makiko made me laugh a lot, but I don稚 know how anyone could seriously stand to be around her. |
 Sekai no chuushin de, ai wo sakebu [世界の中心で、愛をさけぶ]
Rating: 6/10 (Watched)
I think this is the most over-rated show I致e come across. I致e heard so many great things about it, and yet when I watched it I was highly disappointed. It was dull and Matsumoto Sakutaro痴 character bothered the heck out of me. I think I actually read the manga Socrates in Love a long time ago and enjoyed it, but for some reason the drama didn稚 do much for me. |  Sora Kara Furu Ichioku no Hoshi [空から降る一億の星]
Rating: 10/10 (Watched)
One of the few dramas I'll give a 10 to. I absolutely LOVED this show; the plot, the cast, the characters themselves. After each episode, I wanted to watch the next one right away. All of the characters grew over time, which made them interesting. The ending was incredibly sad but beautiful because I couldn't picture it ending any other way. |  Stand UP!!
Rating: 9/10 (Watched)
I originally wanted to watch Stand Up!! just because Oguri Shun and Narimiya Hiroki were in it. But afterwards, I was glad I watched it because the four main character痴 journey was so fun. I haven稚 seen very many shows about a bunch of teen boys trying to get laid, haha. Usually the topic of sex is either nonexistent or very subtle in j-dramas, but here it was all out in the open. It made me laugh out loud quite a bit. |
 Strawberry on the shortcake [ストロベリー・オンザ・ショートケーキ]
(Watched) |  Taiyo no Kisetsu [太陽の季節]
(Watched) | Yamada Taro Monogatari [山田太郎ものがたり]
Rating: 7/10 (Watched)
Nino痴 dorky character from Stand Up!! is forever embedded in my mind, so it was hard to picture him as a princely (but poor) character in this drama. But that doesn稚 mean he didn稚 do a good job of conveying his character. It was a light-hearted show that was fun to watch, but at times Nino痴 character annoyed me because all he thought about was his family every second of the day to the point where it became ridiculous in a way. |
 Yasha [夜叉]
Rating: 9/10 (Watched)
I really liked the storyline of this drama; it wasn稚 like the shows I usually watch. It was exciting because it was so unpredictable and I had no clue how it would end. It got a bit slow at one point near the end, but it picked up right after that. Ito Hideaki did an amazing job as the twins, and I would often forget that he was the same person. | Yuukan kurabu [有閑倶楽部]
Rating: 7/10 (Watched)
A drama about a bunch of bored rich kids. I mostly watched it because of Taguchi. Some episodes were hilarious and others were really dull. I prefer dramas with a consistent storyline. The girl who eats a ton and Taguchi were funny, Seishiro and Noriko were just boring. |  Zettai Kareshi [絶対彼氏]
Rating: 8/10 (Watched)
I enjoyed the manga, so I知 probably biased. I had fun watching this show. I liked how the setting was a bit different from the manga and the characters were older rather than high school students. Hayami Mokomichi did a great job being the sexy, robotic boyfriend and I liked the rest of the cast as well. |
