JDrama Recommendations

Any good romantic dramas? Thanks in advance.

Depends on what you define as "good"... :naughty:

Personally, I find Good Luck not bad coz it balances the romantic aspect and the serious aspect of a modern society relatively well and the story is well-supported by the leads and supporting cast. :hehe:

If you prefer weepies, Beautiful Life, Summer Snow, and sekai no chushin de ai wo sakebu are the better ones around that make you cry buckets. :puppydog:

Could someone help me find out a title of a drama that was on some time in the end of 2002 or beginning of 2003 and it featured the bloke who sings (as far as I know) in a bend called Tokyo. (He was a boyfriend of Ayumi Hamasaki - hope I got her name right)? As far as I remember, it was a story about a family, i.e. children whose mother died and they struggle to keep the house and keep the family together. This might sound a bit odd, 'cos I'm probably asking about something very well known, but I am new to this forum and I left Japan almost two years ago.

Cheers! :mrgreen:

i think da drama ur looking for is mukoduno 2003. da actor is tomoya nagase from da band called tokyo.... quite an interesting drama but i preffer da 1st one. da title is also mukoduno.... but both are worth watching

Cheers bell83! The drama is not the one you thought, but ‚â‚ñƒpƒpBBut you helped me with the name of the leading actor. Finally found it! :mrgreen:

Thanks Snell. As for Beautiful Life and Summer Snow, do they actually end up together? Thanks in advance.

NOTE: SPOILER FOR BEAUTIFUL LIFE & SUMMER SNOW! DUN READ IF U DO NOT WANNA KNOW THE ENDING...

If you really wanna know, in both dramas, one of each couple isn't around by the end of the show... :puppydog: As for the reason why, I leave that for you to find out... :hehe:

Kind of romantic comedy drama set in Tokyo, preferably.

Trade/Distro its all good!

Prof-
I have a few favorite romantic comedies to recommend though I cant remember if they are set in Tokyo necessarily.
Golden Bowl was marvelous.
Beauty Or Beast had a little more humor than romance but Nanako is so awesome in it.
Always Smiling was charming
Brand was great, a little more romance than humor.
The funniest I thought was Seikei Bijin/Artificial Beauty. Hilarious.
Wedding Planner was charming too.
have a fun one-Eve

Kisarazu Cat's Eye was my very first dorama, and I'm looking for something just as funny and crazy. Any recommendations to follow up to a zany show like KCE? Dorama or anime are welcomed. :nut:

I'm looking for highschool Jdoramas ... any suggestions? And no, not GTO i've seen it...twice.

Naomi

Starring:

Norika Fujiwara
Ryo
Aiko Sato
Shunsuke Nakamura
Leo Morimoto

seems ok... but anything not from the teaching perspective would be highly appreciated

This is the wrong section to be posting this query... See the Drama Discussion thread...


Mod time.

Can someone recommend dramas like GTO and Gokusen type. I just finished My little chef and Autumn tale and wanted to watch a comedic type drama based on school.

Thanks

I'd recommend H2

As always, thanks to bmw for pointing this out.

idk what kinda school dramas you're looking for but heres what i know:

sekai no chuusin - drama, romance
h2 - sports, drama
stand up! - drama, comedy
gokusen - comedy, drama
majo no jouken - drama, romance
strawberry on a shortcake - drama, romance

im sure theres more but thats all i can think of right now

Strawberry on the shortcake is good, and set around highschool.
Forbidden love is also brilliant! Check out the review on the site, it does mainly feature the relationship between a teacher and student, but well, tis excellent :)
