A rather interesting comedy/romance with a thoughtful moral and message. | Damenzu Walker [だめんず うぁーか]
Rating: 8/10 (Watched)
A lighted-heart and romantic comedy for the fall season. Shame that its low ratings got it cut to 8 episodes instead--because the last two episodes felt extremely rushed and inconclusive. | Dare Yori mo Mama wo Aisu [誰よりもままを愛す]
Rating: 8/10 (Watched)
A warm and touching family drama. |

Excellent drama. Full of humorous and touching moments. Though the ending doesn't really satisfy and live up to the expectation built up by the rest of the drama. | Dragon Zakura [ドラゴン桜]

Awesome drama. Hilarious, touching, sweet, and exciting all at the same time. Abe Hiroshi, Takeuchi Yuko, and Nogiwa Yuko did an awesome job in portraying their characters! |
Engine [エンジン]
Rating: 9/10 (Bought & Watched)
Wonderful drama. It's quite depressing to see how much the orphans have to go through, yet they can still manage to be the sweetest kids ever--which makes it even more depressing.
Though... I thought this was supposed to be the story of a racecar driver? How come we don't get to see any real racing till the last episode?
Though, having worked with a group of orphans myself for a year. I feel an especially strong connection to this drama. | Enka no Joou [演歌の女王 (えんか の じょおう)]

Unbelievable dull. | Erai Tokoro ni Totsuide Shimatta! [エラいところに嫁いでしまった!]
Rating: 7/10
A light-hearted family comedy. Could be repetitive at times. But generally interesting. |
Fushin no toki [不信のとき]
Rating: 9/10 (Watched)
Excellent drama!! It's a pity that interesting dramas like these are often overshadowed by dramas sporting popular teen idols. Despite the maturity in the subject, the drama features an engaging and interesting storyline of affairs and deceit--cliffhangers and plot twists further mystifies the truth behind the story. Both lead actresses, Yonekura and Matsushita, provide spectacular and believable acting--the rest of the cast isn't so bad either. | Gokusen [ごくせん]

Though it's too short, it's better than the Chinese version (which dragged on way too long). Don't like Matsumoto's portrayal of Doumyouji, but Oguri Shun makes a sexy Rui. Matsushima Nanako is so pretty, and Sada Mayumi is so hot <3. Overall though, it's not a bad watch. |

A nice, light-hearted romantic comedy. | Ichi Ritoru no Namida [１リットルの涙]
Rating: 10/10 (Bought & Watched)
xcellent drama. Definitely a tear-jerking. Full of love, friendship, compassion, and a lot of lesson to learn from. Makes you appreciate many things and is extremely inspiring. Those wanting to have a deeper and more accurate understanding of Aya's story should check out the books that the drama is based on. |
Ima Ai ni Yukimasu [いま会いにゆきます]
Rating: 7/10 (Bought & Watched)
The drama version of Ima, Ai ni Yukimasu failed to successfully capture the spirit present in the novel and the movie. While not a bad drama to watch, the many changes and addition makes the show stray from the original story at parts, and the general lack of freshness in the story contributes to its mediocrity. The drama falls short of expectations under the smash success of the movie version of the story. | Iryu [医龍 Team Medical Dragon]
Rating: 7/10 (Watched)
While it's got its points of interest, it's too much of a Shiroi Kyotou wannabe--but perhaps more intense and bloody in certain scenes. | Itoshi Kimie [愛し君へ]
Rating: 7/10 (Bought & Watched)
I watched this because someone told me it's supposedly very sad, and will make you cry from start to end. In the end, I didn't shed a single tear (came close to it, but the tear never dropped). So it was a bit disappointing. The story is sort of cliched and predictable, a formula that started out fresh and touching and tear-jerking, but has gotten old and needs new innovations to make it work. Though overall not a bad watch, it wasn't extremely good either. You could let this by and not miss anything significant. |

Not wanting to follow the hype, but this drama really is spectacular and fares well beyond what I had expected. Or perhaps I'm just a sucker for friendship dramas. Yamashita has a interesting role, and Horikita is a really good actress. In the beginning it seems to be completely WTF, but the story builds later one. Parts of the drama could be corny, boring, or pointless, but it all eventually makes up. �F��T�C�R�E�I�I | Nodame Cantabile [のだめ カンタビ−レ]

Yet another food series. Seems like a mix of Lunch no Joou and Antique. But so far, not a bad watch. | Orange Days [オレンジデイズ]

One of my favorites now that I've seen it. The college setting makes the story interesting and realistic, and the problems that the characters go through really make you think. I have a lot more respect for disabled people and feels really fortunate that I'm born rather healthy. Also learned some sign language ^_^ | Pride [プライド]

The drama is pretty interesting. Intense and suspenseful. Not a bad watch... that is, if you could get past the absolutely boring and tedious first episode. Plot twisters on crack? |

The show was decent, interesting, and engaging all the way up until the last two episodes--when everything seemed so rushed and left a lot of things unexplained and confusing. | Sapuri [サプリ]

Plotline is cliche, draggy, at-times confusing, and just plain boring. Not even the great cast could save it from being a flop. |

At first glance, it might seem to be a cliche high school drama with a hot-blooded teacher trying to deal with a troublesome class. However, this story offers just a bit more than that to keep it interesting. | sekushii boisu ando robo [セクシーボイスアンドロボ]

The acting and storyline are both decent, yet the presentation makes it not as engaging. |
Shininin no onna bengoshi [７人の女弁護士]

Typical law/detective/investigation series with some interesting cases. The feminist point of view of the series makes it fresh and not as cliche. | Shiroi Kyoto [白い巨塔]
Rating: 7/10 (Bought & Watched)
The first part is boring and slow. To be honest, it took me nearly half a year to finish the first part, having stopped for three month in the middle. It was painful and unbearable--and seemingly pointless. Though towards the second part, the story picks up its pace and more interesting developments are made. The ending is overall satisfactory despite the terrible start. | Slow Dance [スローダンス]
Rating: 9/10 (Bought & Watched)
An excellent drama. Complete with romance and comedy. The love relationships gets complicated early on in the first episode, but that's how such an interesting story was able to take place. The acting was done well, also. I do not doubt that Tsumabuki could become (if he isn't yet) the next Kimura. The drama also features an awesome soundtrack, paired with an equally good theme song. |

Sawajiri playing -yet- another sick girl doomed to die makes the drama seem repetitive of Ichi Rittoru right off the bat. Otherwise, the drama is pretty okay. |
