JDramas not worth watching

Brand was the worst drama I watched. I watched the whole thing too because since I bought it I forced myself to watch it. I was so bored, but somehow I actually finished the whole thing in 3 days over a long weekend. Not because it was good but because I just wanted to get it over with.

I didn't like Friday's Lovers much either but it had it's moments and I loved the music.

Its a very depressing jdrama but I find it a very welcome break from the usual anime-like dramas. The downside of Mukashi no Otoko is Norika Fujiwara's bad acting (she can only act in comedies) and the lame ending. Other than that I find it a very interesting drama on adultery.

I recommend it after an overdose of bright and happy dramas. :)

In the same vein as Nemureru Mori? Then you should try Koori no Sekai aka Ice World starring Yutaka Takenouchi & Nanako Matsuhima, and also Saimin aka Hypnosis starring Goro Inagaki & Asaka Seto. Both are from the same writer. Both are also pretty good series, comparable to Nemureru Mori.

koori no sekai is good... it is one of my fav drama out there. you'll be guessing throughout the show... I love it! ;)
oh lordgus.. u should try it

Itsumo futari de (extremely annoying characters. The male lead is spineless and the female lead is just annoying).

Good Luck (Although Takuya Kimura is brilliant as usual the female lead looks like she's swallowed a lemon throughout the whole series which I find annoying. Moreover, the plot is kind of boring as well)

.. woah~! i thought itsumo futari de and good luck were ok.. not great but not THAT bad either..

Yeah, I didn't mind Good Luck either. The female leads look fit, I thought.

Few more to my boring list:

1. Far & Away - I really can't stand Miho acting dumb! I think she is an idiot to be doing all those things in the show... (no offense...)... too much dumbness... reached my limit. I dunno issit Miho or the plot, but its bad...

2. Rookie - I'm not really sure abt this one... Koichi still okay, Rina is a little plump in it. Watched only the first episode then felt like watching other drama after that... Okay okay only. I'll find time to watch it again.

However, I think Good Luck and Yamato Nadeshiko is superb~ Well, each to their own~ :mrgreen:

i think DAYS starring tomoya nagase, nakatani miki, kanno miho is like the worst drama on this entire earth........ I only watched the first and the last episode and they both were horrendous!! The plot was dumb and the actors could not act!

Mukashi no Otoko. For some reason the Hawaiian TV station gives doramas fancy English titles to attract attention.

You should see the way they subtitle the dramas now after the "downsizing" between JN Productions and Kiku TV.
I can only imagine how much more they're gonna exagerate the drama names from now on.... :rolleyes:

But back on topic, that drama (IMO) wasn't all that bad. I missed the first 3 episodes on the first run, but caught them on the second. It wasn't GREAT, but it was good enough. And Fujiwara Norika, damn, she was great (looking)! :D

Ringu is also a show I wouldn't recomend. Again it starts off well, but you really have to force yourself to watch it. In restrospect I probably should've studied during the hours I watched this show.

Like the above poster, two of my favorites are Beautiful Life and Star no Koi, but I disagree about Itsumo Futari de. As far as the lead actor, it seems that a lot of people immidietly brush off actors if they aren't Kimura, Dohmoto, or (insert other male pop star). He's not a great actor, but he fit the role. The show was very good imo, check out the first episode and then decide from there.

haha....i agree with your opinion on kyoko fukada....every series i've seen her in...it's the exact same pouty character....as for SOS...i thought it was okay..rina uchiyama kept my eyes glued :D ....i hear keanu reeves had done some "dousei" favors to get where he is now.... :hehe:

UGH! Don't remind me of BRAND! Talk about another vomit-inducing ending! :drooling: I hated that one thru and thru. I think I only watched it because I was stuck at my grandparents house.

brand is the worst
next is food fight

as of now :mrgreen:

Food Fight? But what about the great scenes after the battles where he would get up and say: "My appetite is as big as the universe!" and then march away dramatically? =\


Yeah... it wasn't good. Though the South American he battled was hilarious. "South American music is full of anger and rage! I use that to help me eat faster!"

Not-to-be-watched list? For me, Love Complex has to be the on the top. The beginning was okay, but as it reached nearing the end I just lost track what the story's about. It's the one dorama that I'll never consider watching second time.
Another would be SOS, though it's far behind LC. I just found the story too boring, plus I dun really like that Takky end up with Kyoko...he should choose that other girl imho...

I like Food Fight, though Kyoko Fukada gets on my nerves. Tsuyoshi is the best thing about the dorama.

Enough said.

Cheap Love! although i adore sorimachi takashi, i just really can't watch this dorama. the supporting cast is so annoyingly loud for me. :beatyou:

:banghead: le parfum de la jalousie

I will have to say (out of the recent ones that I have watched) Bewitched isn't worth watching.

Plot is horrible. The attempts at humor weren't successful at all. It waned after the first few episodes with no attempt at varying it. I think the drama is a misuse of talents...

Sabrina the Teenage Witch was way better... Well, that was my 2-cents.

GIFT :bleh:
