The recent Tokyo Wankei is also a good example... It just started around here last night so I hope it's not boring later as the reviews say.

"Bus Stop" definitely. :bonk:

I'd have to add another vote for Bus Stop, especially as it has Iijima Naoko AND Uchiyama Rina. That alone would make me watch it (again).

Damn... I need to get a copy of Bus Stop! :bonk:

Great example.

Tokyo Wankei is great! :D The ethnicity factor also plays a big role.

I definitely recommend HERO...
It's the funniest dorama ever!
I also liked
Sorakara Furu Ichiokuno Hoshi and Good Luck!!
Kimura Takuya is my favorite actor.
Abe Hiroshi is in HERO, too!


Also, Yukie is in Gokusen, which is like comic book. It's funny, but it's a bit childish. Of course, somepeople love it, some people don't..
Enjoy jdorama!

Best example I can give you is Sugao no Mamade from 1992. Of course you may think since it's old, the actresses now look out-of-era, but it's the best female-friendship drama I can think about.

I don't think alot of people have seen this dorama: Nurse No Oshigoto 2

I just finished watching it recently, and it's easily one of the most entertaining and romantic doramas I've seen :) I'd recommend it to anyone.[/url]

The dorama, that got me really thinking about life matters was Beautiful life.

That was probably the first time that I started to pay more attention to handicapped people. I mean... they said some wise things in this dorama, that really made me change my mind.

For example, about people trying to be very nice and polite to those in wheelchairs and that this attitude may be not very pleasant, because somehow handicapped people feel, that others don't perceive them as normal, ordinary people.

Then this thing with "barrier". The "barrier in heart" is what I was writing above. But also this "earthy" barriers like pavements, stairs of too narrow gangways, that we may not notice, but that can be a real problem for handicapped people.

I'm originally from Russia and I know a girl in a weelchair. She can't go anywhere without somebody beside her - nothing is made for these people to feel like they can lead a normal life without depending on somebody.

So, after watching this drama I started to pay more attention to these things and... ant the same time I felt I changed my mind towards these people... began to understand, that they have their own joys in life.

And... this is just a very good and toughing series. I would recomment it to anyone.

I also liked 'Forbidden Love's message. This sounds corny but I think that love is the best thing, and when two people really love each other I don't see anything wrong with it no matter who they are. A lot of people see couples out of the ordinary and they hurt them for it and I don't agree with that. Michi said something in the show along the lines of "These laws aren't made to protect people, they're made to punish those who don't conform to society's standards," and when she said that I was just like "Damn girl, that's deep."



I love that line too/
I like this drama not so much for its love centered theme. I see it more as a drama that encourages one to taking charge of life, controlling your own fate and daring to dream. The two main characters seem to personify these traits, willing the audience to rethink his/her own lfe. Hikaru pursues what he believes is right. As his name suggests, he saw light (truth). Michi is in the process of striving, as her name is hinting at. To break out of your own life and rethinking your future, whether or not to choose a different path, takes immense courage.
And this drama inspires me - every time i'm faced with challenges, i'll remind myself of michi and hikaru. I draw strength from them I think.

I recommend sekai no chushin de ai wo sakebu if you want a really sad romantic drama. There's a thread on this drama in this forum which you can check out. :hehe:

You might wanna check out Heaven's Coins, Good Luck!, Orange Days, Waterboys, and the ongoing H2 as well. In my opinion, they are not bad. :victory:
