Oyaji is a fun, well casted family dorama...if you enjoy ryoko hirosue I think you'll enjoy this dorama. All the actors/actresses play their respective roles very well.

You might want to try Jikou Keisatsu Joe Odagiri and Kumiko Asou are man and woman police partners, there's no romance, the thing is, the comedy is so odd and quirky, you'll either "get it" and think its great, or you won't "get it" and think it sucks.[/list:u]

Hi

can anyone recommend a good dorama that is fun to watch (funny at times, not too serious). It can be old or new dorama, as long as it's not older than 1997. It can be comedy, romantic comedy, school life, etc... as long as it's not too serious like purely romance or the jokes are too lame.

I just finished watching Oyaji and I think it's great. It has good story, and can be funny at times.

Thanks

I'd try either Nodame Cantabile or Kekkon Dekinai Otoko...both are great romatic comedies that are easy to watch and very funny.

Hi guys,

I've lost interest in Japanese dramas for a while but after watching part of Nodame Cantabile, I am hooked again.

Am wondering if you can recommend me titles along the lines of Nodame Cantabile and Power Office Girls. I like stuff with quirky characters and humour. I'm not big on tragic romances.

Thanks much.

Anyone recommend a good drama with good comedy sprinkled in? I loved Hana Yori Dango. Looking for something along the lines!!

Just to get off my chest,

The Greatest Jdorama is GTO (personal opinion)

Other Must Watch Shows: (All of these have humor, some more than others)
Nobuta wo Produce
Ikebukuro West Gate Park
My Boss, My Hero (hilarious and the ending song is amazing)
Hero
Nodame Cantabile
Satorare (Original Story and funny)

Other good shows:
Jikou Keisatsu 1 & 2 (either love it or hate it)
Dragon Zakura
Engine
Kekkon Dekinai Otoko
Brother Beat
LIAR GAME

Every extensive, but i liked them all.

Now from looking at what i like, can anyone recommend me any shows.

I would say My Boss, My Hero and GTO, if you hadn't watched it yet.
