I found most of those types to be recycled... There are only a few that are unique and interesting.
Too many of them pander to the younger crowd: high school settings and the like. :bleh:
Yeah I hear ya. I'm not that old though so I to lean towards those more. I'm sure I will grow out of this phase though. Especially since I took a liking to historicals within the past year. It's helping me to slowly watch other stuff. I think :doh:

That's good... A bigger, broader world to explore. :victory:
I'm finally getting back to watching doramas. I got some malware while using my bittorrent, so I lost the doramas I was trying to download. Don't know what I'm going to do when Top Gear starts back up. Anyway, after the reformat, I found a site for straight downloads, and I'm now watching Bartender. Galileo looks good, so I'll try that one next.[/i]
I have been out of the jdorama business for at least a year, since I couldn't find many more dramas that were a fit with my taste.
Here's a new try, cause I really need some new stuff and was hoping the last one year or so might have brought up something new :-)
I really liked Kekkon Dekinai Otoko as well as Love Shuffle. These are the best drama I have ever seen so far - funny, nice story (I can appreciate men struggling with the women's world), good actors, nice girls, and though love is an issue it's not too cheezy.
So, bascially I am looking for something kind of similar to the above.
I also liked (but not as much as the above): Liar Game, Tokkyu Tanaka 3 Go, Boku Dake No Madonna, Tokyo Friends, Sapuri, Densha Otoko.
I tried, but did not like so much: Love Complex, Kimi wa petto, Golden Bowl, Orange Days, Bengoshi no Kuzu, Long Vacation, Around 40, Oishii puropozu, Slow Dance, Tiger and Dragon.
I am not into stuff that's too sad, too cheezy or extremely silly.
I would recommend:
- Moteki
- Keizoku 2 SPEC
- Atami no sousakan
The latter two are a bit weird ...
Actually Moteki is really weird in it's own way, that's a really good recommendation plus Keizoku 2 may have been the best drama from last year. :mrgreen:
