JDrama Recommendations

^ I dunno if these are what you're looking for, but you don't usually think "mystery" when you think of Aya but Zettai Reido:http://jdorama.com/drama.1509.htm, was better than I expected. It even spawned a sequel which I haven't seen yet.

Then there's Shinzamono: http://jdorama.com/drama.1517.htm. It was okay, because it was Abe I thought it could have better though.

Could somebody recommend me an intelligent psichological drama?
I am looking for doramas that use intelligence , for example like the games in Liar Game, or like in the anime Death Note.

Try Ningen no Shoumei and Gaiji Keisatsu.

Hmmm, let's see, last 3 or 4 years, eh, , , ,

2008 - Seigi no Mikata, Muri na Renai, Daisuki!!, and Pandora.

2009 - Fumo Chitai, JIN, Shiroi Haru, and Love Shuffle.

2010 - Magararenai Onna, Shinzamono, and Atami no Sousakan. (although Atami is a little on the weird side)

2011 - Marumo no Okite, Don Quixote, and Soredemo, Ikite Yuku. (Soredemo is the best drama I've seen in years!! Although, a heads up, it's pretty intense.)

Well, of all on the list, i only watched Seigi No Mikata... a very good drama i would
say~~ one of my fav...well, i will watch anything with Shida Mirai on it... =)

btw, thanks for the recommendation... the last good drama i have watched
were Zenkai Girl & Asuko March... i think i should try the other dramas that you
said too~~~ :woot:

I'll add Mother to that 2010 list. If anyone is curious how littl Ashida Mana got so big, Mother was her first real breakthrough.

Any people here that can recommend a fun, English subbed (hardsubbed, if possible) Drama with a lady as the main character?

Something light, like Gokusen and Attention Please. :D

I haven't been keeping up with the Jdramas for the last couple years. What are some of the must watch dramas for 2009-2012? I know there is a list posted by another user earlier but I think it was for mystery centric dramas.

Thanks

2009
Love Shuffle, Shiroi Haru, Fumo Chitai, Jin

2010
Shinzanmono, Mother, Freeter Ie o Kau

2011
Marumo no Okite, Jin 2, Soredemo Ikite Yuku, Kaseifu no Mita

2012
Strawberry Night, Saigo Kara Nibanme no Koi

There's no significance to the order they're listed, it's totally random. I would say my three favorite of those listed are Fumo Chitai, Jin, and Soredemo Ikite Yuku.

She's even better in that than Top Sales. :victory:

Hello! I've watched about seven or eight dramas and I have to say Zenkai Girl was my favorite. It was rushed at the end, but the first seven or eight episodes were sheer gold.

Can anyone recommend me a Jdrama similar to Kurosagi? (suspense/crime/interesting main character /less romance )

LOL. :hehe:

watching Kamisama Mou Sukoshi Dake which is about aids, and watching Daisuki and Hikari to tomo ni which both are bout people with mental illnesses, mother which is about child abuse and even the issues of single mothers and adoption, and Mama wa Mukashi Papa datta which is about Transgender people, i really like dramas that take on controversial issues and deal with society issues. i feel like when it comes to womens rights, HIV, lgbt rights, and other issues japan seems to be living in the 1960s, I was wondering if there is any dramas out there that tackle these issues or other issues as well?

^ You could try Hikari to Tomo ni:http://jdorama.com/drama.899.htm

It's about raising an autistic child. I thought it was pretty good. :applaud:
