im actually watching Gokusen right now, and ive only finished the first episode but it dosent seem half bad. Why's everyone ragging on it? (or is it just Gokusen 2 that's bad? And WHY is the 2nd one bad?)

haha maybe if horikita was in it
i'm out peace

gokusen 2 sucks!!!! don't even think about it, a total waste of time.

I watched both gokusen 1,2 before I read the manga. and after I read the manga, I thought back and realized that the drama version was so bad. the manga was extremely funny.

The anime club at my school say they have the anime version, but i'm too lazy to checked it out.

Another dissatisfied customer.

time to watch that movie with horikita maki in it

Can anyone reccomend anything similiar to Densha Otoko? I liked the story and the humour in it a lot. Someone reccomended akihabara@deep, but what about other romantic comedies that have a good storyline/can keep you hooked as densha did? Thanks a lot

I think "summer snow" "pride"is good,

I like akihabara@Deep, , the story is stupid, there is not famous actor (or at least I think so, there are at least two idols in it). but I still like it

consider it if you have nothing else to watch

Well, if you haven't been reading the previous pages, let me say just two words:

Nodame Cantabile.

come to think of it, after watching around 60 doramas, the best dorama(s) and most memorable in my opinion is

Tiger & Dragon and Iryu

i recommend these two to everyone!

(and i need to watch more )

Thanks for the advice, I'm almost done Nodame Cantabile, and its really good, getting tiger &dragon but thatll take a while. Thanks again

Can anyone recommend a series that's NOT primarily comedy or romance? I'm looking for something darker/more serious, but where the main focus is not the relationship between two main characters. (Also, by darker/more serious, I don't necessarily mean sad. I've already seen One Litre of Tears, and truthfully it kind of bored me ^^; ).

i kinda wanna see just how bad Gokusen 2 is.
