yeah, that's true. PPl have arying tastes...
looking at the recommendations here, some of them i agree with and some i do not. :sweat:

I love Goukusen too. It's a fantastic drama.

it's hard to choose.. . but maybe love generation is better? coz the chemistry between takako matsu n takuya kimura was great.. their acting's great.. but i hate the part when takuya chases his old flame... i hate that girl.. she irritates me a lot.. if the girl who played takuya's ex was someone else...i definitely think HERO's better...

on the other hand, HERO's good also. but there's no spark between them.. the storyline was good.. but there; something that lacks.. i dont know wat..

definitely HERO.. i like the chemistry between kimutaku & matsu.. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Attack No. 1
Water Boys

Thanks yollibee :bow:

Im waitin for Attack No.1 to come out wit english subs
Im having trouble finding water boys tho...OOO and Golden Bowl 2:sweat:

water boys and golden bowl available at Jem's site. But maybe u have to ask for reseed.

Hero hands down. Love the comedy approach, (kinda like power office girls) with a lots of close up and twisted characters :hehe: . Utada Hikaru song is just wonderful, I can't get it out of my head. Not to mention the smart script+plot.
Takuya-kun displays Kuryu's emotion just below the surface making him soo cool. From my opinion, the chemistry between takako n takuya Hero is better than in love generation (even without a solid closure in the end). Though Hero is not one of my favourite TakuyaK dorama, its better than LG.

Both the main characters in LG irks me :grumble: (except for the part where they bicker with one another). Weakest performance by both actors (my opinion - love the hair cutting scene though). The story is so typical, I kept forwarding while watching it. Kind of dissapointed :banghead:
But a lot of people like it though. Decided to force myself to watch it again, MAYBE I'll change my view. Oh, and i definately NOT FOND OF the theme song.

its hard to choose ........ :confused:
but love g is better than hero !

kimutaku looks cute in love generation b'coz he only 25 years old at that time.. yeah, i totally agree with you.. he looks cute in that dorama..
:mrgreen: :mrgreen:

love generation!

u might wanna try beachboys .. has sorimachi, yutaka, ryoko hirosue in it. the guys r cool ... u have seen GTO ..so u know sorimachi .. :beatyou: :bonk: :dancing: :naughty: <-- hehee

both r good in there own sense. but prefer

1. love generation
2. hero

guess LG has a kind of continuous storyline which builds up whereas hero is more like good luck, more event based and fun at same time

but both r must see! :applaud:

Hi guys! I'm really new to Jdorama. I just finish watching Forbidden Love (Majo No Jouken) and I love every minutes of it. It make me cry in every episodes. But anyway, what do you guys think I should watch next? Is there any drama that you guys recomment? Hot boys are preferred in the drama LOL :mrgreen:

If you like hideaki takizawa, I think you would love him in Boku Dake no Madonna. His playing a very genki and kind of baka character. SUPER CUTE ^_^
But If you'r looking for a classic good solid story, I recommend you Summer Snow. It made me cry like a baby :shamefulcry: Domoto Tsuyoshi maybe not your typical hot guy but his soo cute in this dorama. Imai Tsubasa (tackey&tsubasa=takizawa singing partner) also acts in this dorama :victory:

i highly recommend orange days!!!

it was very addictive and i couldnt stop watching it...

very touching at times.

hmm, romantic comedy?
star no koi comes to mind. 101st proposals is also a romantic comedy but it has some heavy drama stuff as well. also, check out narita no rikon and shotgun marriage. But, I think you'll have more variety looking for kdramas with regards to the romantic comedy genre like sweet 18, attic cat, full house,...
