if you like tsumabuki satoshi, you might like Lunch Queen, the food for sure looks scrumptious. hana yori dango was certainly a very enjoyable dorama, arguably the best of 2005. i'd also recommend watching long vacation if you liked orange days.

some other good starter doramas are GTO, gokusen, love generation, last christmas. and welcome to the crazy world of jdorama! :bonk:

hmmm.....

Good Luck is entertaining and good.

Also GTO, Kisarazu Cats Eye, Tiger and Dragon, Attention Please.


Don't know any other drama Tsumabuki Satoshi in besides Lunch Queen.
I think the guy also stars in movies. I suggest you look for his thread in the Discussion on Artists section. You might find some good info :mrgreen:

good point...arguably his best performance, sir. my favortie of his to be sure.

edit: i believe KT didn't mention Orange Days because the post he was replying to indicated she already saw Orange Days

non fans of Ryo and Sawajiri Erika and have seen 1 Liter of Tears......was it really that great of a drama. Saw the reviews and the rating by those who reviewed it.....a lot of 10s.... :sweat: :sweat: :sweat:

I'm having doubts I'll like it.
I've been told to check it out....but i'm not really into sad dramas. Sekai no Chuushin is good, but its takign me foreever to finish :sweat: :sweat:

If you could finish Sekai no Chuushin, then you could move on to the next stage: 1 litre of tears :mrgreen:

I also avoid melodramas like the plague, and took up "1 Litre no Namida" only because of the excessively positive ranting in the forum. I must say I've enjoyed it a lot - I wasn't expecting to see such good acting from a gravure idol, but Sawajiri delivered the goods. Give it a shot, you may like it too.

Are there good comedy dorama (available with english subs - *still needs them to a certain extend*), you can recommend? Would be great, if they are about school life, but it's not necessary.

I watched 'Gokusen' (1/2) and I started watching 'Okusama wa Majo' and 'My Boss, My Hero'. I like them all.

Tsuchiya: Than watch Great Teacher Onizuka, Dragonzakura or Koukou kyoushi. These are all really good HS-dramas.

maybe u should try Jikou Kisetsu, people says it's funny but i haven't watched it either

Do they have subtitles?

Hi, i'm ling... i was browsing thru the Net to search for websites that introduce j-dramas....and found JDorama.com....this website is really cool cause it really gives all info abt the various dramas that u guys have watched...
i'm also a j-drama fan.... i've watched several old ones like love revolution (i like it), beach boys, long vacation, tokyo love story, pride (1 of my fav), and many more.
the latest one that i've watched is 1 litre of tears.... and it's really good!
it's so touching that i cried in every episode...
the sad thing is, i gotta watch it thru www.youtube.com cause i couldn't get any j-drama vcd here (in Scotland) and it's expensive as well even if they have it.
i've came across another one called ATTENTION PLEASE.... starring Ryo... wonder if there's anywhere i can download it....it's kinda a hillarious one.. :victory:

If you have a broadband DSL connection you can download a Program caleld BitTorrent that will enable you to download several JDoramas subtitled in English or otherwise for free from various websites.....

Hi Tu_triky...

i'm currently staying at the hostel and the uni has set up firewall against all these downloading stuffs.... therefore, the only way i can obtain drama is from websites...sad case...
