JDrama Recommendations

Itazura na Kiss, Yamato Nadeshiko and Shiroi Kage are the dramas worth buying (especially Shiroi Kage! I find it really really good). As for Luck with Men in 2001, ermm...it's not as good as compared to the 3 dramas that I've listed. As for IWGP, Kabachitare and Ao No Jidai, I haven't watch it yet. Ao No Jidai might be good coz' I've got ppl who recommended me this drama before.

Dear Jon,
You are welcome.We had almost same opinions.
I have already watch Beautiful Life ,and as for Meguri Ai,I haven't watch that yet.

I feel although Tokiwa Takako make a mega hit in Beautiful Life,but she did well in Aishiteiru to itte kure too.
So,I agree to your opinions.

Yasuko

Hello,

Kinki Kids doramas? My personal favourites are "Tenshi Ga Kieta Machi", "Wakaba No Koro" and "Summers' Snow", all of which have strong plots, sensitive acting and careful pacing. All of these titles are available by Ri-Zun.

I am less impressed by "Ningen.Shikkasu" and "Ao No Jidai". They are worth taking a look, though.

Regards,
Jon

Summer Snow, Tenshi ga kieta machi, Genki desu Shunpei are nice, esp the 1st 2.
Have yet to watch Rookie....it did quite badly in japan, the viewership ratings are quite low.
But i'm going to watch it anyway
Support Koichi & Rina ^_^

Btw 'iamellys', where are you from?

The English Title for Hanamura Daisuke is
'Lawyers Events'

Cast:Yusuke Santamaria, Ishida Issei, Mizuno Maki.

For Website you can go to:http://www.ktv.co.jp/hanamura/

<OR>:http://www.geocities.com/doramatalk/hana.jpg

For the synopsis I have try my best to find but I am sorry I can't find that either.
This story is about a lawyer uses his own ways of cracking down rare cases,after he joins a big lawyer firm.
Humourous and light hearted.
Somehow,the drama portrays an image to me is quite similar to Hero.
This is a drama that really worth watching.Happy viewing.

Hello,

First, to answer your question on Kinki doramas, I will choose "Tenshi Ga Kieta Machi" over "P.S. Genki Desu Shunpei". "Tenshi" has a good plot, and its thematic scope is broader than the range of ideas/emotions explored in "P.S. Genki". This is not to say "P.S. Genki" is not good; on the other hand, it is quite nice, but it is essentially a love story. "Tenshi" deals with so much more - brotherhood, friendship, prejudice, coping with disabled people... Moreover, I personally prefer the cast for "Tenshi". Uchida Yuki did well there. Ultimately, my favourite Kinki drama will be "Wakaba No Koro".

GTO is a very entertaining piece; it is unlikely that you will get 'bored' watching it. "God, please give me more time" is emotionally loaded, and it's theme makes it worth watching, though it is by no means my personal favourite.

Try "Hakusen Nagashi", "Wakaba No Koro", "Summers' Snow", "Tenshi Ga Kieta Machi", "Saimin", "Sleeping Forest", "Great Teacher Onizuka". If you consider the likes of "Beautiful Life" and "Long Vacation" rather hackneyed and over-rated, try "Over Time" or "Aishiteiru to Ittekure".

Jon

Thanks,all of you are very nice =)
I'm from Indonesia and I really like japanese doramas,so do my sisters.We couldn't find any j-doramas in Indonesia so every six months we go to Singapore of Taiwan to buy j-doramas.
See,how lucky all of you guys hehehe.
I really enjoy visit this website and nice to meet all of you ^______^

Hi iamellys :) ! Salam kenal !

You might want to check this website ! It has a small collection of J-drama's VCDs with ENGLISH subtitle and owned by Indonesian Jdrama's lover (one of my internet's friend). Asyik khan ?! :D

http://city.bolehmail.com/~topengkaca/japanese.htm

Dari website itu, elu juga bisa masuk ke website Drama Jepang Online ala Indonesia. :D

BTW, if you following/watching Jdramas that been showed in Indonesia, you might recognize some titles I can recommend to you :

1). "29th Christmas" (romantic-friendship comedy) : yg main Tomoko Yamaguchi, yg jadi Minami di "LONG VACATION"

2). "Let's Go To School" (Very hillarious-comedy) : Remember Sachi, the funny & wacky female teacher ?

3). "Tokyo Cinderella Story" (romantic drama)

Thanks . Happy jdrama hunting !

enau

Nambah lagi nih !

I also recommend :

4). "FUTARIKKO" / di Indonesia, TPI memutarnya dgn judul "KEIKO & REIKO" (family-romantic drama)

5). "TOKYO LOVE STORY" (sad ending-romantic story)

I think you buy the 'Itazura kiss' more better as it is more funny than Big Wing.
Takashi is more mature in Big Wing. But to me, both the drama is worth to buy as i have both of them. The King of sushi i have not yet seen as i haven't buy it yet. I plan to brorrow form my aunt and if i see it i tell you how it is.

Do u hav ani recommandation on whether which drama is worth to watch an dat at the same time is comical. In Singapore, they are starting to introduce various special, entertaing and popular Jap- dramas into our premises. However, most of them are starred by Takuya Kimura and Matsu Takako. I wish to get more in touch with other jap- celebrities
and so, i'm presently hunting for more facinating and worth-to-watch Jap-dramas. Therefore, i wanna ask u, or any other who could give me their personal suggestions on any dramas they think should not be missed. Thanx.

er...i think "to heart koishite" is worth watching as it is act by dohmoto tsuyishi and fukada kyoko. "Virgin Road" is oso quite nice as takashi is so handsome.
Itazura na kiss" is very very good as it is so funny. "Bid Wing is quite nice too. Also quite funny. " young Times" is nice as i watch it, i nearly cried.... Becos it really tell us life sometimes cannot be control by ourselves. if you need any more u can e-mail me. [email protected]
