Wow, I guess that doesn't describe it eh???
If i have to think so hard to dream about it, then is not real I guess.

Well, after my shameful thread-that-I-shouldn't-have-started ( :shamefulcry: ) , I'll post here, which I think is the right place.

I went to Japan and I saw a drama, and now I want more!

My only problem is, I know absolutley nothing about Japanese dramas, so I don't know what's good to watch!

So I'm posting here to ask for recommendations of dramas I should watch. I suppose my criteria for things I want to watch would be... Somewhat true-to-life situations and romance! But I'm open to suggestions that don't fit those either :)

there are a lot of different opinions of Japanese dramas on what people like and hated....
it depends on the genre and what type you prefer...

Big5 i believe does chinese subs

I must recommend 1 Litre of Tears for everyone ..
This is a sad true story .. you will cry 1 L of Tears .. :shamefulcry:

mm..for old dramas i recommend
Lunch Queen
Beauty or the beast
Trick *for Yukie nAKAMA fans*
Mukodono

I really wanna watch 1 litre of tears but I don't think I cán watch it.. if I cry over a movie like Ice Age, I don't wanna know how it'd cry over this dorama :headscratch:

suave_yamapi, yeah I would stay away from this drama then, u might end up sick.

I posted once about how I had like 5 years I did not shed a single tear(and trust me I seen some messed up stuff and some other sad stories etc.) but when I watched 1 liter of tears, I could not hold it back (I literaly got stomach pains)

I've seen the first 30 minutes of the show but because I knew what was going to happen in it I just couldn't watch it 0_o It's sooo sad!!

looking for some of these recommendations now :]
