Ever check out the Kuitan series?

A fun mixture of food obsession and crime drama. :victory:

And there's also the Jiko Keisatsu series... A wacky and entertaining Cold Case-type show. :)

No I've not heard of either of those shows, I'll be sure to give both a try, thanks in advance.

I don't think you'll be disappointed by either.... :fingerscrossed:

Well you're right about Kuitan thats for sure! I've almost finished the first episode and its very good I must say! The only problem is now I'm in the mood for Japanese food, but I doubt anywhere will be open at 1AM! :rofl:

Gomen nasai... We should've forewarned you about being perpetually hungry during and after each episode. :mrgreen:

Hmm, I just finished watching Cat Street. Only six episodes and I really liked this drama. I guess I'd suggest this to anyone who's looking for something good to watch real quick. ;-) Check it out!!

Edit: Is there any other nice and small dramas such as that? Already seen Tokyo Friends before, 5 episodes.

Hey! Haven't watched a Jdrama in ages, only watched about 5 in total, my last was last friends. But anyway, I'm totally bored, and want to watch one :D any suggestions?

I can understand Last Friends turning you off of dramas... :beaten:

What kind of dramas are you interested in? Comedy? Crime? Romance?

9 Jul 2009, 06:04 #4512

Hahaha! :P Erm, I guess I'm probably the most interested in romance dramas, but I'm open to most things. Probably not something too serious/hard to follow.

Hmm... What five dramas have you watched, along with LF?

Have you seen Nodame Cantabile? *shameless promotion*

I have seen 1 litre of tears, hana yori dango, hana yori dango 2, gokusen, hana kimi and last friends.

No I haven't seen that! What is it about?

Nodame Cantabile (2006) is a live action adaption of a popular manga and anime of the same name involving the students of a college-level classical music school... It's part wacky/slapstick comedy, romance, drama, and loads of classical music... :victory:

Not sure if you like classical music, but it's well worth your time, IMO.

A two-part TV movie special was made in 2007 and it's popularity had led to a two movie release slated for the end of this year and in 2010. :victory:

9 Jul 2009, 06:23 #4516

Ohhh, I do like classical music! :) Thank you for your recommendation.

Yay!

You'll love the drama just for that, then: Beethoven, Mozart, Ravel, etc... :victory:

Do you have access to D-Addicts to download it or somewhere else?
