JDrama Recommendations

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?

if you want funny, Densha Otoko is more humourous but i would say Good Luck!! is the better dorama

Okay I trust my senpais opinions here. GL seems like the better overall dorama :mrgreen: but i'll definitely watch Densha Otoko after.

Thanks guys!! ^^;

looks like you also recommend 1L of Tears and Crying Out :mrgreen: - man, i've been avoiding those like a plague for the longest time, but one day, i think i gotta sit down and watch those. somewhat rare for me to find times when i want to watch sad/depressing doramas

a real terk-jerking, i'm so down-depressed type of j-dramas.....
but good sad storyline...
then go watch Densha Otoko to laugh and laugh and laugh... :rofl:

i got a dozen or so to add...but maybe only a few that i have actually watched and can comment...

watch 1 litre of tears! you'll love it

1 Litre of Tears is a good drama, I agree ..
Right now, I'm watching Dragon Zakura .. its a REALLY good drama if you like those dramas that teach the audiences about "life" .. like me! ^^v
Nobuta wo Produce was good as well ... I like it till the end .. even though many people hated the ending .. -.-;;

Anyway, that's all I can think off now .. Might suggest more~~

GTO
Hotman
You're Under Arrest
Densha Otoko

Not a lot I know but still...Anywho, looking for good suggestions for a noob to doramas in general.

Tiger and Dragon.

This one is definately quite interesting and pretty funny too.
The punch lines are a bit whacky.....i guess only Japanese people from Japan will get it. Its truly fun to watch. These guys are really great actors :applaud: :applaud: :applaud:
