I was watching Fantasy Couple (Kdrama) and it got me thinking what Jdrama has a female lead who talks and acts tough but is really a softie on the inside. Any idea? Thanks.

There is the series and 2 SP so yes that would be 3.

I don't watch anime so possibly bmwracer or someone else will help you on that. Sweat

The live action version of Nodame doesn't follow the anime storyline frame for frame, but it's pretty close.

You really need to watch it yourself to make a judgement. Smile

I thought of the Japanese remake of the Korean movie, My Sassy Girlfriend, called Ryokiteki na Kanojo. But that wasn't very good.

I need help with selecting my very first manga/anime (what's the difference?). Sweat I am looking for one that is a very romantic with a love triangle and like a "seat hanger" where I will be on edge with each episode.

I don't like cartoons or anything similar, except Lion King and Shrek but my friends say I am missing out and the reason why I didn't like some dramas, is because I have to see the manga/anime. I have asked them for assistance but I don't care for the genres they recommended.

I like romance comedy or just romance like most of my drama list. I prefer to watch something that I have not seen or manga that is better than the drama I watched.

Please help me with this. Thank you for all recommendations. Oh by the way,

Nope.

It's about a young girl who's a witch and her coming of age.

Well, sort of... The story is set in Europe, but no World War had occurred...

Gehh, you're not one of those people who have an aversion to movies/dramas/etc. than weren't made after 2000 or set in the present day, huh? Sad

There's also Love Shuffle and Muri na Renai. Victory! Peace!

(I'd recommend Muri na Renai first, but I don't know if you can handle a romantic comedy between two mature, older adults as opposed to adults in their 20's..... Sweat )

Ok I will watch those. Mature like 30-late 40's is ok. Etsushi and Fujiki are around mid to late 40's and I enjoy them. Now if they are over 50 ill bleh

You have a really small window for dramas that you're willing to watch... Sad

I like watching different stuff just depends on my current frame of mind so to speak. Like I watched historicals (just waiting for subs at the moment). I just finished several melodramas and a few high school comedy types.

Just depends. I wanted to watch Control, but I can't find it hardsubbed yet so. And that's a detective type drama like Bones, CSI type and I wouldn't mind watching that it would be different but I would like to try it. Most of what comes on local TV here, especially in evening are psych thriller police type dramas. So when I look for Asian drama to watch I try to look for something that is not commonly aired on TV.

And in my opinion, asian rom-com's are the best! They are so addictive.
