So far, I'm not too impressed about the doramas this year. Especially compared to last year.. Last years doramas were much better than this years imo. What do you all think?

Favorite from each season:

Winter- Ashita no Kita Yoshio
Spring- Muri na Renai
Summer- Gonzo
Fall- Don't know yet

Hmmm..so far my top 10:

1. Gonzo
2. Yasuko to Kenji
3. Rookies
4. Taiyo to Umi no Kyoshitsu
5. Ashita no, Kita Yoshio
6. Tomorrow
7. Koshonin
8. Osen
9. Around 40
10. Last Friends

I currently like Kaze no Garden, Celeb to Binbo Taro, Ryusei no Kizuna, Giragira, and Oh! My Girl!

:rofl: No worries my friend! Kaze no Garden will definitely bump LF from this list. Plus I have a lot of recorded doramas I still have yet to finish watching.

Haven't seen Gonzo but I agree with both your choices for Winter and Spring. Not surprisingly, they both got awful ratings. [/list:u]

Excellent, that's exactly the same as my picks. I've yet to watch any of the autumn shows, but I'm expecting good things from Kaze no Garden.

I am surprised no one mentioned Bara no nai Hanaya. Also a lot of people like Daisuki!!!, though I didn't find it that great.

:hehe: Still on the back burner. I'll eventually continue watching.

Of course! Bara no nai hanaya is my favourite winter offering. :)

I'm surprised no one mentioned Dekichatta Kekkon. No idea exactly how much it centers around being pregnant since I only watched a few episodes.

Awww, that was Amuro Namie in her heyday. If you saw that drama when it first aired, that song was a huge hit! But I can certainly understand how it got annoying. Like many shows, they played the instrumental version of that song during EVERY episode.

I agree that though it was one of her hugest hits, it was a little annoying, especially since there were so many versions of it. I still like the song for nostalgic reasons though.

:hehe: i'm curious how it'll end up in your ranking for 2008 dramas
meh.. my bro don't like Maou much either but I just want people to watch it :twisted:

Yea exactly..

After watching Gonzo, I was wondering if there were any other good mystery dramas out there. Cop dramas are ok too.

^weeelll.. there's this drama called Maou ( :beaten: ) but the cop is no Gonzo unfortunately.

(in a perfect world, Gonzo is the cop fighting against Maou. That will be awesome :metaldevil: )

I like mysteries and investigation-type shows too. Also, slice-of-life shows like Taiho Shichauzo. Any recommendations there?

You've probably seen a lot of them, it might help if you list what you HAVE seen :)

That said, the only ones i've seen that fit the bill are Unfair, Koshonin and the Furuhata Ninzaburo series (but they are like 1 mystery per episode).
