snowpanda wrote:hi everyone! before i was into korean dramas but now im really hooked on japanese dramas. so far i've only seen Hana Yori Dango(Season 1&2), Hanazakari no Kimitachi e(Hana Kimi for short) and Nodame Cantabile(Live).

im looking for other japanese dramas that i can watch just like the 3 dramas i've mentioned. i want romantic dramas just like Hana Yori Dango. funny and romantic would be fine too just like Hana Kimi and Nodame Canatabile.

im not into the likes of Gokusen since it's not a romantic drama at all. thanks in advance!!

hmm, funny and romantic...
well, i would recommend:
H2 (school setting/baseball; a but funny and a bit drama)
Star no Koi

That picture is like a direct copy from the movie poster of Aeon Flux... But The Negotiator has nothing to do with Aeon Flux and is set in the modern world, not the future... :)

hi there! thank you so much for your recommendations ^_^

about H2 the reviews were great but some say that it's not romantic at all..

Star no Koi is it the same with Sutaa no Koi? based from the reviews i think i will like this one. does it have english subtitles already?

about the picture that you have, is that a japanese drama? it says "winner of 9 TV academy awards" it must be great! what's the title of that and what's the story about?

to all you guys out there please keep your suggestions coming about your recommendations on romantic japanese dramas ^_^

ur welcome...

On H2, if i remember correctly there should be some romantic scenes since it has a love triangle plot...

yes, star no koi is sutaa no koi... and yes, it has subtitles

the sig i have is for 'Sekai no Chuushin de ai o sakebu'. Its definitely a romance drama, not much comedy except for the first 2 or 3 eps...

you should tyr checking out the Top 50 dramas. Although, the ratings are sometimes skewed due to popular artists, its still a good place to start...

arnel98, hi! thanks for the info about H2.

it's good to hear that Star no koi has english subtitles. i'll be looking for this one ^_^

thanks for your suggestion regarding the top 50 dramas. i'll check it out later. thanks for all your help! Arigatou!

i've only seen one. although gay is not the theme, but it does have a really sweet gay relationship in it.

But... the thing is, it's a spoiler. so i'm going to put the dorama title in spoiler tags. you decide whether you wanna know the title or not. it might take the fun out. i've warned you :)

what kind of romantic do you like?

Love Revolution i think is very romantic. in a mature kind of way. Not the teenage role Hana Yori Dango romantic! Love is always the topic in this dorama. Which i think some people thought was too much and made them not like it. But if you see the reviews for this dorama, you'll see how people really like it :)

:beaten: don't they get sued for that. Ryoko-san is showing her age though... not in a bad way of course :)

somehow i have a feeling the character is going to be somewhat similar to Shinohara Ryoko's in Unfair.

Not very likely... Besides, it's just the look, not the title of the movie or the story...

Ryoko-san is showing her age though...

Why do you say that? :headscratch:

She's younger than Shinohara Ryoko, y'know...

One of my friends is semi-interested in checking out a Jdrama. She wants something on the romantic, cute side with a happy ending. I don't think she'd be interested in an overly silly drama (that means no HYD). So far, I have Long Vacation and possibly Kimi ga Oshiete Kureta Koto in mind, but I'm open to other suggestions if there are any.
30 Nov 2007, 05:42 #2819
Orange Days? i've never seen Oshiette Kureta Koto but it looks similar to Orange Days.

maybe she might not like old doramas, but i think nothing can go wrong with Long Vacation :beaten:
30 Nov 2007, 05:52 #2820
^ Orange Days may be good. I saw it a while back, but I forgot if it was good or not. Thanks for the suggestion!

Any others?
