What was the first JDrama that you got hooked on?

Summer Snow~that the drama that got me into that Tsuyoshi kun...really great actor~

1st drama that I watched was "Majyo no Jyoken" by Nanako Matsushima & Takky.

Kou Kou Kyoushi 2003

Kamisama--Takeshi and Kyoko--

Man, after skimming through ( thread is too big for me to read the -whole- thing without keeling over X.x;;; ) I realize I came in all late with J-Dramas. Ah... The first J-Drama that got me hooked was... Stairway to Heaven. Unfortunately I caught on in it's last episodes... But damn, it got me hooked! I so wanted Akiko and Keiichi(sp?) to reunite... And the guy that played Keiichi's son.... HOT! Gah... Wonder what his irl name was...

I say it's a tie between GTO and Majo no Jouken. Mostly because I was a high school student at the time and it's themes really appealed to me.

It was Yamato Nadeshiko. Really good. Unforgetable! Became a fan of Nanako since then...

A tie between Love Generation, Long Vacation, Tokyo Love Story

First jdrama that I watched was the first one that I got hooked on:

GTO

^_^ But of course, I've seen many Chinese dramas before when I was young.

Oshin, my first j-dorama, is now aired in Metro TV (local TV station in Indonesia). I believe it gets good rating. Lot of people love little oshin.

Oshin firstly was aired by National TV (TVRI) in late 80's, and Ayako Kobayashi was very famous in Indonesia and invited to come to Indonesia at that time b'coz of this dorama.

The first drama i saw was Ace wo nerae with chinese subs and i didn't understand a word of it... But it still got me hooked and so i had to watch koukou kyoushi 2003... At least it had subs... Now i find myself learning japanese and searching Ebay for Aya Ueto related products... :sweat:

Pretty much the same thing with me. After seeing a movie called Azumi I totally fell in love with the leading actress, Aya Ueto. So I started looking for dramas she had made and Ace wo nerae was the first I found. I did't finish it though becouse I heard there was an english subbed version coming out soon and my version only had chinese subs.

Meanwhile I started watching Koukou Kyoushi 2003 which had subs. I wanted to see it just to get to see some more of Aya, so I was really surprised to find out that the show was exellent. It totally got me hooked on japanese dramas. Now I can't wait to get to see more dramas.

The first dorama I even saw was Sutaa no Koi and that was by accident.I never actually saw any doramas before since been into anime/manga all the time.I just happened to stumble upon d-addicts site while doing research finding info on drug addiction on google for an assignment..lol and the series of the month was Sutaa no Koi.I just looked at the picture and thought to myself..hmm...since have free bw will d/l and see what it is and after watching ep1, I d/l all rest of eps and from that point :dancing: :dancing: :dancing: :hehe: :hehe: :bonk: :bonk: it became part of my life..

Hi All, new here but eager to share. The first J-drama series that got me hooked was Hatachi no Yakusoku back in 1993 starring a very young and cute cast of Inagaki Goro, Makise Riho and my favorite Fukatsu Eri in a love triangle. Yes that long ago.... I also saw the original High School Teacher and Hitotsu yane no shita 1 that year. :)

My first jdrama was Beautiful Life. I was instantly hooked.

I have been a member at d-addicts and jtv for a while. I am new here. First post in fact.

I love this site! :dancing:

i saw it back in 1991. "tokyo elevator girl" starring rie miyazawa. great drama. her career was skyrocketing at the time and she was making millions. she still one of my favorite actresses with a sincere ability to act. her relatively recent Japanese Academy Award for best female actress for her performance in "Tasogare Seibei" substantiates the fact, and she's superbly pretty with a lovely voice to boot. she's actually half dutch.

moto kare... :applaud:

Yamato Nadeshiko

i like ur sig file quotation from beautiful life...those phrases were definite foreshadowing as far as the rest of the plot. i seriously loved that dorama. that show was bombay.....otherwise known as REALLY GOOD.
