You've taken my other avatar. mizune! I alternate between kogepan and domo-kun. =)
As for dramas, unfortunately the Summer Snow ending ruins the show for me. It's still good, mostly. Depending on the kind of viewer you are, there seem to be like 5 types of Jdramas:
1. Tearjerker romantic comedy/drama: Beautiful Life, Virgin Road
2. Romantic comedy, more romance than comedy: To Heart, Summer Snow
3. Romantic comedy, more comedy than romance: Shotgun Marriage, Hero
4. Manga-based dramas/comedies...has that kind of anime craziness/cheesiness: Shota no Sushi, GTO, You're Under Arrest
5. Period dramas (NHK): Toshiie to Matsu, Musashi
The ones I recommend are Shota no Sushi, Virgin Road, and Summer Snow. The second tier is Beautiful Life, Hero, and GTO.
IF u havent watched ' Good Luck', u can watch it, it has Takuya Kimura, one of the best actors around....I learnt more about the flying career watching this drama....and Love Revolution is nice with Esumi Makiko and Naohito Fujiki....hmmm, what else can I recommend, oh...I liked Love Generation as well and Yamato Nadeshiko is nice...she looks really pretty here, dun know somehow, I assume that u r a male.
