What was the first JDrama that you got hooked on?

mine would betrick and it's so funny :chatter: is it true that they made the episodes for trick on vieo and dvd already cause i saw at japanese movie place

Beach Boys~~!

I wouldnt say this was the first japanese drama that got me hooked cause it wasn't a japanese drama, it was a hk drama. It was meteor garden but technically... maybe it counts casue i watched it through my infatuation with hana yori dango.

But anyways, even though it was a bad remake of hana yori dango in the second version, it got me looking for more asian live action series. Then came.. majo no jouken, and GTO, and i would have to say:

"Hi my name is SupersumoCG and i am a jdrama addict." :nut:

I noticed that a lot of u said GTO....My first jap drama was GTO with chinese subtitles...at that time, I could read only a lil of chinese and I didnt understand japanese, but I still managed to finish that whole drama quickly.....let's just say that even though I didnt understand 100% what was going on, but I still liked the story and Sorimachi....yup, he got me hooked on jap dramas and after that I watched love generation, again without english subtitles and I really loved that drama......yeah, so u can say that it's sorimachi and takuya kimura that got me hooked even until today!

Hmmmm well Im not sure of the first...because my mother and I watched drama's together when I was a child and I cant remember any of the titles. :(

I would say I got hooked around the age of 14 watching Long Vacation and then Beach Boys.

The first Japanese drama that got me hooked was Tokyo Cinderella Story or Sister of Mine....

It has a well developed storyline and the soundtrack is a blast.

Wish I had a prince like that..... :love_eyes:

im currently attach to Long Vaction and Yanpapa GTO was my first J-Drama... Loved it....and my first japanese action movie was Battle Royle <--- something different and GOOD!

for me its GTO

i love the chemistry between takashi and nanako

Home & Away. It was on International Channel late last year and early this year. I have a soft spot in my heart for it. Especially episode eight. The ending of episode eight opened up a whole new path for me. Before then I was just an anime/Tokusatsu fan. After I saw that episode I realized that Japanese television is full of great shows, and I shouldn't limit myself to one or two genres. I now consider myself a Japanese television fan. ^_^

The d0rama that got me hoOked was GTO. Funny thing is tho... I asked my friend "What's a goOd anime 2 dL?" he said GTO. I found Japan-TV site and dLed what was there and it ended up being the anime. My first impression was like "WTF! THIS IS LIKE LIVE ACTION ANIME!" Sorimachi's my hero. :mrgreen:

Itazura na Kiss... It made me got hooked to Takashi Kashiwabara...

For me, Summer Snow! That was the first JDorama I watched and it really made me beg for more! Somehow, tearjerkers always do it for me! :nut:

actually i dont remember the first drama..
but i think its anchor woman or gto

i dont know which came first..

but i remember watching 1001 proposal when i was a girl..

the ost was great..... :applaud:

Summer Snow is my favourite!

And Happy Campus, but it is Chinese___

The first JDrama that I saw and got me hooked was Virgin Road. In San Francisco, every saturdya night they show Japanese Dramas subbed in english.

That's all it took. It's my fave. drama of all time!

The first drama is the one I'm watching now, since in newbie seeing dramas :D . Well is "You are under arrest" and talking about movies, I saw several japanese movies. I love the ones made by Kitano. And my fav ones are Ringu movies and Battle Royale.

Your experience is the same as mine. Summer Snow wil always have a special place in my heart.

majo no jouken! drama was really deep and touching.. after that i just went on a jap drama rampage or something.. i think the japanese can do comedy really well!! summer snow was good too.. cried my eyeballs out for that one.

:applaud: i love akimahende... haha... even though that was not the first jap show i watched... but it was one that got me all interested in j dorama... ninomiya kazunari was really cute in there... :love_eyes:
