hmmm... how come so many ppl like wedding planner so much? i tot it was an ok show... but not that fantastic? personally i think the jokes were quite lame in a not funny way most of the time. The plot was also pretty lame and too good to be true for some of the wedding stories...

Seriously though, most, if not all Japanese dramas are exaggerated, which make them too good to be true, no?

Let's not make "You like this, I don't like this" debate. Glad that we are individual. We have our own taste and will:) There is a sayin in the country where I reside: "Others fancy daughters, others fancy mothers"

actually i dont mean it in a debate way lah... just curious about what ppl like about the show... just tot it would be good to read about how other ppl see the show from another point of view...

for me i really liked the chemistry "kimo o sagashiteta" song... played a big part in making me watching the show all the way to the end.

Well, I personally loved the Wedding Planner OST. So for the most part, I really loved it when the piano and guitar versions of "Kimi wo Sagashiteta" were played during emotional scenes. I liked the variation of Mayumi Sada's "Ever After," which is "Who Made It Ever After." I also loved the chemistry between Kanako and Toru so much!

Though the plot was predictable and simple, I found it very touching! I read somewhere that the actors of the show made a request if they can make a sequel for it so I guess they loved their roles and prolly loved the plot too ne?

Off the record, I find Satoshi hot in the show! heehee :

I have lots of dorama sitting around in my room waiting to be watched. Problem is, I have no idea which one I should start with. Can somebody look through my dramas and suggest something that you enjoyed watching lots and the reasons. Please don't state reasons like how it's because so-and-so is your favourite actor/actress.

[Pemu]

Lemme see...braggin off hehe! j/k. Heaven Cannot Wait is a very good series! I enjoyed it a lot! You have a lot of dramas I haven't seen. Don't watch SOS! Just watch anything you have, enjoy! Start with Heaven Cannot Wait

[Prince]

Heh.. I will say at least try on SOS, this series have been 'the king' in many jdrama forums when someone going to debate to watch or not to watch.

Btw, I assume most of your dorama is C-subbed?

[:::hALuCin8:::]

I see you like Abe Hiroshi & Satoshi Tsumabuki.

I was gonna recommend Wedding Planner because they're both in it...and because it's a great drama...but I think you've seen it already!

Anyway, I agree with Prince. Many people have been giving good & bad reviews on SOS!

Man, you have alot of dramas there...I'm so jealous!

[kook05]

wow... your collection of doramas is really impressive!!!

hmmm... it's kinda hard to recommend what to watch nxt...
to me, watching a show kinda depends on one's mood... i'm sure there are some shows you are more interested in... single out those shows and go wif your gut feeling....

Yep.

[windrider]

i would recommend wakaba no koro and tengoku e ichiban chikai no otoko 1

rookie and hatachi no kekkon are also good bets.

Also, (personally) SOS.

Hello

Has anyone seen a japanese drama they think was VERY good? Please feel free to post the name of the specific drama, and what you think of it

I've seen Summer Snow and GTO, they were great.
