I checked out episode 1 and it left me kind of lukewarm.
Should I bother to dl the rest?

English subs is available for only the first 7 episodes at the moment...
I have only watched the first episode too so don't know.

mmmh difficult one .... good to know that there only 7 episodes subbed.

I was hoping someone would be able to give me some good recommendations here.

I really enjoyed watching all 3 Gokusen dramas and i was wondering if anyone could recommend some similar dramas. If i had to think of some examples i would probably say Hana Kimi. So basically I'm looking for dramas with a similar type of humor/story to gokusen.

Well if you never watched GTO(Great Teacher Onizuka) go watch it, itLs much better, all the 3 Gokusen are way overracted imo, people tend to watch it because of the cast:Oguri Shun and Matsumoto Jun in Gokusen 1; Akanishi Jin and Kamenashi Kazuya in Gokusen 2 and Miura Haruma in Gokusen 3; GTO doesnLt have a great cast but the two main characters(Onizuka and Fuyutsiki) make up for all of them.

Rookies as the same theme as GTO and Gokusen, but itLs more drama than comedy.
But if you want good comedy go and try Nagase TomoyaLs My Boss My Hero, itLs really really funny :rofl:

Super bored here, but too tired to watch serious dramas...

any good recommendation that fit ALL the followings:-

- humour
- light hearted
- not high school, not students
- romance
- good looking actors


thanks a million in advance.

Not an easy one, I believe you have already seen a lot of dramas.
Newer dramas:
- Love Shuffle
- Scandal - not so many good looking guys but a good story about female friendship
- Mop girl
- Osen

Have you already seen Golden Bowl, Love Revolution, Himitsu no Hanazone, Akihabara@deep and KisarazuLs Cats Eyes?

I Need A Drama To Watch About Romance In Guy Perspective

You can try:
1 pound no fukuin
Tatta Hitotsu no Koi
Sapuri
Boku dake no Madonna

I'm looking for a cute, sweet, young (maybe students?) drama that the perspective is shared between both the boy and the girl, if possible.

I don't mind if it contains some dramatic points as long as its not too overwhelming.

I'm new to drama, so I'm sorry if this is a broad spectrum. :(

EDIT; I forgot to add I'm looking for romance drama ;;
my baddd

Maybe Sexy Voice and Robo and Minna Mukashi wa Kodomo Datta

I think the latter fits your criteria better, but the subs for it is a bit patched up.

Thank you so much for the suggestions!
I'll try them. <3

Oh, you are looking for romance. Then the two I mentioned don't really fit the bill, there is hardly any romance in them.

Maybe Churasan then, although I thought the romance in it was not that great. Japanese dramas usually centre around a single character, so I can't think of anything that fits with both male and female's perspective.
