What was the first JDrama that you got hooked on?

My first jdrama was Love 2000. Well, I didn't really know why jdrama was sooo hip during that time until my sis sucessfully pestered me to watch. It was then that I saw the beauty of it. Up till now, the 2 best dramas I've watched are Beautiful Life and Summer Snow, both very touching~

yeah summer snow and beautiful life is really touching...
but I don't like beautiful life that much... and summer snow is in my fav list

1st saw Long Vacation on S'pore TV, didn't know who was Takuya Kimura then.
Got impressed by his serious nice-guy pianist character in the drama, not forgetting his dose of playfulness...
It's a classic jdrama tat got me hooked to KimuTaku n everything jap.
I even went on to get tat green rubber ball in the drama. :mrgreen:

gotta be long vacation and GTO....there were some others but these were the ones that hooked me fast....i think the first anime i watched was neon genesis evangelion or love hina.

Yeah, GTO was nice, darn hilarious~! Got to see the other side of Takeshi Sorimachi, 'cos I did OverTime just before GTO, he can be so serious, and so funny~ :applaud:

For Long Vacation, all the piano tracks are simply marvelous, the entire soundtrack is just awesome... :D

My first anime was Vandread (in fact, my friend introduced me to anime just about a month ago), the girls in it are all soooo kawaii~!~! :love_eyes:

Long Vacation

Beautiful Life by Takuya Kimura. After this drama...watched every single drama old and new starring Takuya in it.....

the first japanese drama i saw was 'meguri ai',starring tokiwa takako and fukuyama masaharu...since then i like tokiwa takako.. and watched every show that she starred in it....;)

For me, that would be Long Vacation!

My interest in J-Doramas started with Beach Boys, but it's Long Vacation that totally gets me going...Kudos to LV!

Beach Boys

Hello Everybody, this is my first contribution to this forum. My first drama was To Heart. I am a big Kyoko Fukada fan and really enjoyed the serie.

my 1st jdorama will b 'meguri ai'...started to like tokiwa takako after watching this drama....i liked jdramas since then... ;)

The first dorama I've watched was Summer Snow, a friend of mine lent it to me and I was very surprised because I didn't expect much. Basically I thought that was gonna be boring as hell! Thank God I was wrong :D .
Afterwards came GTO, at this time I started neglecting anime to get more time to watch some jdorama.

Long Vacation!!! Years ago when I bought it was $80 (cost quite a bomb) but to me,the show is priceless..
Ever since then, have been chasing japanese dramas..haha

My first drama was Risou no kekkon [—‘z‚ÌŒ‹¥]. I then fell in love with Takenouchi Yutaka! :inlove: From then on I was hooked onto J-dramas. :hehe:
