I would highly recommend Rikon Bengoshi http://jdorama.com/drama.816.htm Yuki Amami as a divorce lawyer starting out on her own. It's great. Unfortunately the made a sequel, I would avoid that. Like most sequels, a big disappointment. [/list:u]

Wow, thank you! That looks like a fantastic recommendation. I'm definitely going to check it out.

Thanks!

Just watched Bengoshi no Kuzu and really enjoyed it, so I'd recommend it.

Hi! Can anyone suggest a good mystery/detective series? That perferably has some comedy?

Edit: I wanted to post some of the series that I saw and enjoyed so you can get the general idea of series I enjoy: Trick 1, 2 & 3; Galileo, Shibatora...and that's all (I know small list right? :( )

I'm looking for some great/epic love stories. In the vein of Love Generation, Long Vacation, Itsumo Futari De, Aoi Tori, Beautiful Life, Tokyo Love Story etc.
I've seen more than a few... but I'm sure there are more that I'm probably missing. Any recommendations?

Keizoku is quite good, though the comedy in it are so unexpected that I often wasn't aware the scenes are meant to be comedic.

I'm currently watching Maou and I really like it,also,I am a big fan of Death Note. So can anyone recommend any other dramas that are along the line of Maou and Death Note? Many thanks :victory:

How about Overtime? http://jdorama.com/drama.313.htm[/list:u] Or failing that, written by the same person Orange Dayshttp://jdorama.com/drama.818.htm[/list:u]

Hi Guys,

I'm looking for a drama along the lines of "last friends" --- preferably 2006 and up.

You mean a drama with poorly developed characters that sold itself out for ratings and popularity awards? :bleh:

If her fanboys hadn't of all dropped off the map here, you'd be in for it. :rofl:

you wish :hehe:
Well, maybe beeing a big fan makes us Aya "fanboys." DonLt know whatLs so wrong about that. I guess you were just pissed that the Ueto thread was so active (till you make everyone leave)
Now you can play fanboy in the Ueno Juri thread. ILd say posting tons of caps, with one post for each cap (to make the thread grow faster?), makes you a lot fanboy too, doesnLt it?

I didn't make you guys leave... You guys couldn't handle ANY criticism towards your gal so you packed up and went to greener pastures.

Yeah, I'm a fanboy, but I'm not a blind fanboy. :P

aeh... I think we ( I) was ok with citizism. ItLs only that we got banned, the thred locked and our replys deleted.
DonLt know what you mean with "blind fanboy." I think all fansa re more or less the same. Some more, some less. Only differnce was that YOU got mod powers here.

I don't buy that... Some of you guys tried to start a flame war, I stopped it, you guys got upset and left... So be it.

LOL, you haven't made in post in nine months: all it took was a comment about "Aya fanboys" and you're posting again. :P

One that thinks their idol is perfect and can do no wrong.

I don't think she's perfect but she's really awesome. And yea, she has messed up before =\ In fact, I haven't and don't think i'll ever find a perfect idol... sigh.. :shakehead: But I love Aya for who she is, I don't think I need a perfect person


As for dramas, My Boss My Hero is a great recommendation for most people :)

Well, we already told you that we didnLt really intend to start awar there. We just wanted to back up Aya.
But that has all been talked about. We should forget it and live all in peace. We just canLt watch others talking bad about Aya chan. ILm not saying that she is perfect and above everyone else, the best actress and singer on the planet or a godess. But she has something very unique and special we love her for. If you donLt like her itLs OK. But donLt always talk bad about her (or us) because you are not much different in beeing an Ueno fan, I think. You wonLt see us talking bad or complaining about Juri, too. In fact ILm not a fan of her but she is a great actress.
