It's been a while since I watched any Japanese shows so I'm catching up at the moment. I started by watching S.O.S., then went on to Beautiful life, Hero, GTO and a couple of more.
So far my favorite is S.O.S. I was very lucky to find the show with truly excellent subs by a fan, so I learned a lot of Japanese as a nice bonus. ;)
*puts on anti-SOS-glasses*....hehe. You should see other dramas, there are a lot of great dramas around besides SOS. Abba have something to do with it?

Hahaha, no... actually I found the ABBA thing pretty annoying. Being Swedish I've heard my fair share of ABBA already. :P
A big part of why I liked it so much was because of the subs (as crazy as that may sound)... but also because I completely fell in love with the character of Manato.
Right now though I'm looking for dramas with actors that are a little older. (Like GTO, Beautiful Life etc)
Man...the first few episodes were so incredible, but things started to slow down and get cheesy.
I thought this would be a "different" drama because of Sorimachi's occupation as a night club pimp, but it's no different from all the other doramas out there.
On the whole, it's still pretty good though. I give it a 9.

Thanks for the tip!! I'll check those two out. :)
I like Kimura Takuya myself (yes, I know... not very original). He's only a couple of years older than me, so he's okay. :D Basically I like watching dramas that deal with issues that may come up for people my own age. I'm sooooo past the high school thing. ;)
I hope I don't get flamed for this but I don't like Kubozuka Yosuke. The way he articulates things with exagerated mouth movements just creeps me out. *LOL*

I have Heaven's Coin 2 but not 1 and the cast seems to be the same so I was wondering if 2 was a direct continuation of 1? Should I watch 2 before 1??
2 is a continuation of 1... so watching 1 first would be beter.. and 3 is a totally different cast though running on the same kind of deaf-dumb girl plot..

Ok thanks for that...now I have to track down the rare Heaven's coin 1.
Heaven's Coins 1 was much better than 2 in my opinion. To me, 2 seemed to just drag it on further as if it was a forced second season. IF you find the first one in pretty good quality let me know. :P I saw it on tape in bad quality.
