Haha, Sweet! I finished S.O.S in Three days, and Gokusen in about a week. I'm skeptical with season two. I heard from some it was good, and some said it was terrible.

hehe, ur watching speed sounds about right for us d-addicts :mrgreen:

Gokusen 2, provided you haven't watched 1, isn't bad, but since you have, it's almost an exact replica of Gokusen with a different cast

Eh... I dont know if I want to watch it then. I just can't see anyone replacing Uchi, and Shin. -Shakes head- When I get hooked on a series, I constantly download, constantly watch. I'm hoping to become a regular around here, haha.

I had no interest in watching season 2 of gokusen, but if you want to see how good it is or how bad it is, just watch the first couple eps.

Try watching it just for the story.

i saw the first two episodes of gokusen 2...and then i took a sh*t and realized that was much more entertaining.

hi
im looking for some recommendations. As for what i like i like romance, comedy (or both of them together), mystery dramas (really liked remote).

Don't mind sad or happy dramas.

Some that i really liked include:
Remote
Orange Days (main guy is so cute after watching this)
Hana Yori Dango
Gokusen (the first one)
Beautiful Days
Yanpapa/young father (This drama made me fall in love with Nagase Tomoya)

Some dramas I started to watch but stopped very soon (boring to me):
Tiger and dragon...i was confused and lost interest quite fast
Nobuta..survived half an episode
Last Christmas..i know some people like this one but I got bored after like 2 episodes
MotoKare...I like domoto but he wasn't able to make me stay with it
StandUp..did anyone think this drama is really stupid? or is it just me.. 1 episode and said goodbye to it

Interesting/Good but not the best:
Dragonzakura
Summer Snow (pretty good overall)
Engine

Another important point: im kind of an impatient person so lets say after 1-2 episodes and i find it so slow and draggy (nothing really happening) i won't be able to keep watching.
Kind of tired of watching those teach-student relationship dramas...at the moment. Also tired of watching people with aids, diseases at the moment..not that i don't like watching sad stories but id rather watch a sad love story instead (I did watch Kasisama cuz it had Kaneshiro T. in it).

I really want to watch crying out love at the center f the world drama, but i can't find it anywhere at the moment!! :(

Sorry I wrote too much.

Any Recommendations?? :woot:

I finished Teru Teru Ashita recently and I really liked it a lot. I'd say it was my favorite recent drama. Good script, good acting, good direction. At first I was going to pass because I saw it described as partly a horror story on DramaWiki. That's completely bogus, it's really better described as a modern fairy-tale, with human drama, fantasy, mystery, and some funny moments too. It's still being seeded at d-addicts at the moment.

DL Link: http://www.d-addicts.com/forum/torrents.php?search=sekai+no+chuushin+de+sars&type=&sub=View+all&sort=

I would recommend Ame to Yume no Ato ni,Ai no Uta,Hotman,Wedding Planner, Sutaa no Koi and Love Story.

Kind of funny how you mentioned both of these things.

You tired of watching people with aids or diseases, yet.....Sekai no Chuushin invovles that one point.

I guess you shouldn't watch 1 liter of Tears for now either.....I think it has that point too. Its suppose to be similar to Crying out Love.....i believe

i think you might like Good Luck!!, Midnight Rain (this one's a really good mystery), Hero, Keizoku, Attention Please, Kyumei Byoto Ji 3

Stand Up did seem pretty pointless to me actually too and moto kare was certainly too slow - and definitely worse than summer snow.

Like the subject says, I'm requesting recommendations for dramas that have that sort of ....... cute, naive and young appeal to it. Know what I mean? Like teenagers or even pre-teenagers in love/under crushes.


Thanks a BUNCH!!! This kind of stuff gets me all mushy and squeely T_T I'm a big sucker for innocence and inexperience and such. It's so adorable to me.

Sorry if this has been posted recently, I did sift through the recent posts and I used search for a bit but nothing came up that fit this request.

Thanks again!

there is an existing dorama recommendations thread here - http://jdorama.com/viewtopic.2708.1540.htm

please use that in future

as for recommendations for that sort, you might like Anego, Kimi wa Petto, Gokusen, Nobuta wo Produce[/url]

Ahhhh, awesome, thanks!! That's more than enough to go on. Very quick reply, too!! I will write these down for future searching.

I'm very grateful for the assistance :applaud:

deeplove - I think you should give Nobuta Wo Produce a chance.
Watch atleast 1 or 2 episodes.. if you still don't like it then.. oh well.
I only saw half of the first episode before and stopped, then I gave it a try again just recently.. and I'm glad I finished it.
It's one of those dramas that gets better and better each episode.

Rohan - Since you're looking for a love story.. I recommend Sekai no Chuushin. I'm sure that series doesn't lack romance. :hehe:

Im somewhat new to dramas. Im wondering what some good dramas are because I want to see some that people say are good. I speak Japanese and Ive been to Japan. It good be really nice to have some replies, arigato gozaimasu. :nut:

go to JDRAMA recommendation thread..
you'll find some interesting stuff :mrgreen:

debating whether to start From the Heart, Tokyo Love Story or Omiai Kekkon - any suggestions?

i'd go with TLS

alrite, TLS it is, thx

I'm deciding to watch either Densha Otoko or Good Luck first.

I heard Densha Otoko is freaken hilarious and an absolute must-see...
then again Shibasaki Kou is in Good Luck :beaten:

What do you guys think? I'm looking for something along the lines of Attention Please in terms of humor, but also with a good emotional storyline. Is Good Luck funny?
