What was the first JDrama that you got hooked on?

My first intro to JDorama was Forbidden Love (Majo No Jouken) with Matsushima Nanako. :D Happened to catch it by accident couple of years ago. There wasn't anything better on TV and I was channel surfing when the opening credits came on. Nanako caught my eye and I was hooked. :love_eyes: Knew I just had to watch. Haven't stopped watching JDoramas since. :mrgreen:

Mine was Kamisama Mousukoshidake. I was instantly attracted to Kaneshiro Takeshi and Fukuda Kyoko. It was an awesome dorama!!

Yup, sounds right. Wasn't into JDoramas at the time but I remember Asahi Homecast (or was it KSCI?) had a couple of trailers on Forbidden Love so it caught my eye.

Kou Kou Kyoushi 2003..

GTO, watched a lot of dramas after that and still none of them can compare to it.

i'm not exactly sure, but i think it was long vacation

I wouldn't say a drama got me it..it was a movie..All About Lily Chou-Chou..I searched for the cast..some where in a few dramas..went on from there..Majo no Jouken is my fav..Takki and Nanako are the best!

I think the first dorama I really got hooked on was "Hotel." It was so dorky and repetitive but I love it! Too bad they stopped making sequels to it. :(

Overtime was my first drama. :) I still listen to "Sunday Morning Lovers" sometimes.

Love Generation i love Yakubuki Mamoru played by Oshio Manabu i love him he is sooo multi talented he can sing dance and act a triple threat. i love hum i religiously watched Love Generation Becaese of him!! and the lead actress the should have been together!! :applaud: :sweat: :P

I think you mean Love Revolution (co-starring Makiko Esumi & Naohito Fujiki). Love Generation is the one with Kimura-kun & Matsu.

hello! i'm new to this site...feeling very lost as everyone seems to know everything & i dun?

anyway the 1st j drama dat got me hooked was beach boys cause dat's one of the 1st few j dramas in s'pore dat was given much publicity...many other j dramas were also shown before beach boys but channel 8 did not spent much effort in promoting them to the audience, so i miss alot of good shows like, under the same roof 1, tokyo love story, heaven's coin 1, etc. :shakehead:

however my all-time favourite is Long Vacation. cause i like the way both minami & senna underdstands each other. i didn't know that kimura is so³ popular in japan when i was watching the drama, but through the show i realise that i forgot he's only an actor & really felt for his character in the show. i like his other performances too...he's really³ talented... :applaud:

however i guess j dramas usually doesn't has a good sense of reality, in most j dramas dat i've caught (although i must admit it's not alot) other factors such as family & friends ( by this i mean close friends whom u'll miss) are not mention or ignored. which explains why the characters could do things which are themed as brave as they dun have such burdens to consider... :rolleyes:

ok...just my two pennies worth of thoughts...hope i dun offend anybody or sounds like a novice...cause i really am...eh? :sweat:

hmm,my 1st "hook" J drama is over time,very romantic. :love_eyes:

well i sort of didn't watch just one jdrama then got hooked but GTO pretty addictive

my first were really old ones but i dunt remember the name something bout an insurance guy and a girl who like all her boyfriends were killed or something, then hero, love generation, and one about email like hes a singer and shes a banker or is that love generation...O and to heart! hehe and lately watched GTo good serie
