JDrama Recommendations

Merging.

P.S. You realize that all legitimate DVDs from Japan have NO English subtitles... That said, I'd recommend Nodame. :mrgreen:

:say_yes:

Wow, so you blazed through it?

What did you think?

actually i didn't watch the whole show yet - i watched up to episode 3 and because i really liked it and thought that it'd be something my mother would like too i decided to watch it with her :mrgreen: we're both busy this week but it's on our watch-list!

sry about the wrong thread. yeah, i know they have no english subtitles but I have seen it with subtitles and would have no problems watching it again without. I think I will get Nodame :)

Good choice. :victory:

I have the first season box set and it's great... Even more so with the Special Disc and extras. :woot:

Can anyone recommend a comedy from 2008/2009?

I've liked anything with Hiroshi Abe in it. I particularly loved Densha Otoko and have to admit I really got into Hana Yori Dango.

I'm getting ready to give Uta no Oni-san a whirl and would appreciate any other suggestions.

Thanks!

Abe Hiroshi was in Shiroi Haru this past Spring... But it wasn't a comedy, but a drama... And a sad one, to boot.

But it was quite good... 'Til the end. :sweat:

this quite ramdom but i suggest you watch Iryu

Hi people!

I was wondering if you guys can help me out. I watched Wallflower, Hana Yori Dango and Busu no Hitomi Koishiteru but I'm looking for something else. Do you guys know any dramas/animes with the ugly/rejected person theme?

I'd be appreciated.

Thanks!

I watched Nobuta wo Produce already and loved it. Thank you for the other title.

Any other suggestions?

Hi guys!

To get back into Japanese Dramas, I want to watch a Christmas themed one. I've already seen Last Christmas, which I may watch again, but are some others? I really want to get in the mood this season. ^_^

Waraeru Koi wa Shitakunai! It's a sweet and pithy tanpatsu...has a kind of "Love, Actually"-feel to it? I'm not sure because I've only seen snippets of that movie :sweat: But it's a funny drama with 4 different stories converging to a hopeful but somewhat bittersweet ending :woot:

Looks like she's already seen it. Honestly, Sensei, the only drama I can think of off the top of my head is "Dream Again" : http://jdorama.com/drama.1216.htm and it's not really a Christmas drama, just the last 3 or 4 minutes of the last episode take place during Christmas. I don't think thats what you're looking for, but you could give it a shot. (Mirai Shida is great as usual :applaud: )

For Detectives dorama, recently I watched Triangle, the story was so interesting and make me curious ^^

For fun, comedy and lesson learned dorama, recently I watched Dragon Zakura so fun to watch it till I realize I can't stop watch every episodes ^^v

Have a good try....
