Hmm,
I don't remember the first dorama show I've watched... I still remember that one of my first doramas ever watched was Beach Boys and Itazura na Kiss.
The first dorama I've got on vcd was Kamisama. Takeshi looks real good in the dorama.
I have a tendency to rewatching certain doramas and I can't get sick of it. Examples are "Hito ni Yasashiku", "Sorakara Furu Ichioku no Hoshi" and "Long Vacation". Emergency 24 hours I and II are good too... ^_^
3Peace...

I was checking out some books at the neighborhood Border's store, when I came across a thick book, celebrating 75 years of "soap operas". The book was about two inches thick, chocked full of information on just about every U.S. daytime drama, and a few non-U.S. dramas as well. Along with the usual soaps like General Hospital, As the World Turns, Guiding Light, etc., only one Japanese drama was mentioned, and it turned out to be Heaven's Coins. So at least in the eyes of the American soap opera fanatic, Heaven's Coins is the standard de-facto among Japanese dramas.
For me, getting hooked on Jdoramas was an easy one... I was hooked on CBS soaps back in my high school and college days, especially As the World Turns. I've always had a soft spot for romance shows. I was a total Meg Ryan and Marissa Tomei fanatic back then, both ATWT alumnus.
BTW, the term "soap opera" was derived by the fact that every daytime drama during the 1950's and 60's was sponsored by one or more companies that produced soap products, such as Proctor & Gamble, among others.

And that was the first time I'd ever seen Nanako-san. I can't say I was captivated at first, but I eventually fell for her (it's more of an acquired taste, I'd say). She's not the type of girl where her cuteness just jumps out at you. It's just...the shape of her body and the alluring feminine mystique that surrounds her movements (fellow Nanako fans will know what I'm talking about) eventually took me away. |
Ironically enough, I didn't think Nanako was sexy until I watched GTO. In Yamato Nadeshiko those dresses made her look overstuffed

If I remember correctly, the first drama that get me hooked with Jdorama is a ninja drama serial, then it's shogun, then samurai.... I was really obsessed with Ninjutsu at that moment, and may be a little bit now.....hehe
Then, with the long episodes drama such as Oshin and Kaoru.... back then in Malaysia Oshin is a phenomenon..... among the first modern Jdorama I watched is Chiaki, Moero Attack and does Ultraman, Kamen Rider, Gaban and Flashman counts....
Then Jdorama is lost again.... suddenly Aoi no Jidai caught my attention and that's the end of my sanity.... Tsuyoshi is so kakkoi as Ryu... but it was dubbed in Mandarin 'horror'
The first Jdorama VCD I bought is Kindachi Shonen Jikembo....and then, Wakaba no Koro, and others...
The End of my first jdorama

Interestingly enough, my roommate, who grew up in Iran, mentioned that she loved watching Oshin on television as a child. I knew it was famous, but I didn't know it was quite that international....

It also aired in Peru, but I didn't see it... State TV was so biased and unreliable, I preferred to watch tokusatsu instead...

The first dorama I ever caught a glimpse of was Long Vacation in 1996/1997. I still remember the exact scene, too (It was when Takuya and his friend were talkiing about the night before when Takuya met Minami's younger brother for the first time played by Yuataka). But, since the station wuld change the dates it showed LV, I would only catch it if I got lucky. Didn't even know it was Japanese at the time! Then a year later, a friend saw this really obscure show called FIVE and told me about it, I watched it, gave it a try, and it was good. That's technically the first coomplete J-Drama I saw, but I still wasn't hooked until I caught hold of one of that season's new dramas "Kamisama, Mou Sukoshi Dake" starring my favorite Asian actor at the time Kaneshiro Takeshi...was shocked he knew Japanese! Then I saw the dorama that squeezed out Kamisama for best dorama,"GTO",and that just cemented my love for it even more. 1998...that was good dorama year!
