JDrama Recommendations

I don't know a lot of these doramas, but 10. Under One Roof 1 is the best dorama I've ever seen in my life.

thanks !!! right now, im wondering to buy or not ; when the saint go marching in AKA walk of idiot. the one with ryoko hirosue.

what do u guys think?

thanks

6) Walk of an Idiot is very dark....read the review I just wrote on this site...it might help. Kind of a love/hate relationship I had with the drama. Tough to watch. BTW, Hirosue Ryoko isn't really the main character in here if you're just gonna watch it to see her.

9) Wife is 3 Stars is just average. It was aired on television in my area. Besides that main girl, the guy from V6 is the other major character. Not many emotional scenes......I don't think it is worth buying.

10) Hitotsu Yane No Shita...one of the best dramas I've ever seen. You must get #2 as well if you're going to watch #1. Many great scenes in both series.

Can someone tell me what they think of of these dramas (how good they are). Also, what is "So Nice To You" about? Also same for First Love?

Golden Bowl
Have not watch it yet. But, I heard it has comical humor! But, I wouldn't count on it, the scriptwriter of this drama, Shinji Nojima, sometimes created dorama stories which are funny but also 'dark' at the same time >_< You can expect something like Food Fight, probably...because it was also written by Nojima. If you like Food Fight, you'll like this one.

Wedding Planner
Haven't watched it either, but I heard good things about it.

So Nice To You
Don't you mean Basically Nice?! The one with Shingo Katori? Similar to the story of 3 men and the baby??
Well, haven't watched it either, but I heard the dorama is just so-so.

First Love
Is this the one with Miki Mizuno & Fujiki Naohito or Watabe Atsuro & Kyoko Fukada?? If it's the latter, then I know nothing about it either =P

golden bowl (takeshi kaneshiro)
first love ( kyoko fukada)
and takuya latest drama ' the sime has left your eyes' ???

pls tell me issit worth to buy?? thanks

the smile has left your eyes ( takuya drama)

trust me michi! first love is TOTALLY NOT worth it! even tho i'm fukada'z fan . . .i haven't say . . .this wuz a realli bad drama . . . gomenasai!!!!!!!!

how bout the other 2?

Hi Michi,
I have purchased The Wedding Planner and Golden Bowl. I also posted my reviews here already. In general, I'm glad that I have these. These are SWEET doramas that make you feel good after but they are not at the "must buy" classics series level.

They both have the typical routine romantic/comedy dorama storyline:
- A special theme (Bowling & Wedding Planner)
- Unlikely couples (Older woman w/ younger guy and a beauty w/ not so handsome guy)
- In-between mini storylines; I think this allows a team of writers to develop separate pieces...a la HERO! (Different Weddings & Bowling competitions)
- Throw in a blend of Funny and touching moments
- Happy ending that make viewer feel better
- Finally good soundtracks!

Well, maybe I can start writing a dorama script now! HA HA!

HI!! Thanks... sounds cool.. arigato gozaimashita

I personally loved Wedding Planner...go buy it. I was surprised that Ayumi Ito acted in this one since I haven't seen her much. Every episode is good and I kept wanting to watch more.

I've seen the first 3 episodes of Golden Bowl so far and I'm a bit disappointed. It is kinda boring...especially since I saw Wedding Planner before it. I don't know whether I want to keep watching or not.

ooooooooooohhhhhhh thanks !!

Golden Bowl couldn't be that bad, could it? :(

Personally, I like the Golden Bowl. The first few episodes are for characters build-up. It gets better! And I love the ending. Guess what, I rewatched the last 2 episodes already.

hehe ... i just canceled 'golden bowl' from my list... now.. i jsut dunno what to do ...buy or not , buy or not, buy or not...

Do you know the name of the actress who played the rich girl he met in the Omiai (Arranged marriage)? Episode 7 or 8.

Thanks

for me the newest takuya drama is OKla..
it kinda differ from his other drama
but u can see how great actor he is...
and the ending is soooooo sad....

first love.....
well i buy it coz of fukada...
nothing else...
the story overall is boring...

I'm totally agree with you!golden bowl is boring..not only I slept watching it..I also dreamt saying "arrgghh!!BOORINGGG!!"..seriously!

can someone update me 'bout the wedding planner?

I was surprised that Oji Megumi...the sister from Under One Roof was in one episode of the Wedding Planner. I thought she stopped acting.
