I really liked Hikari to Tomo ni. I thought the acting was excellent and the storyline was different.

I think Shani to Yutaka ni is also an underrated show

[Shani]

Me too!

Off topic, did you get to see the roulette bowling with Aya and SMAP?

yeah i did...it was okay....i've seen more exciting showdowns...but the fact tsuyoshi, i think, had three strikes was amazing.

I'm new to the forums, but have been watching J-drama's for about a year. I would say that my most underrated drama so far is Sutaa no Koi. By episode 10, I honestly couldn't sleep at night.

On the flip side, I'd have to say that Summer Snow is the most overrated. I've watched the first 4 episodes and don't know if I'll finish it.

Interesting that you find Summer Snow overrated though

The underrated dorama this season is Haikei Chichiuesama
Really charming series not only because Ninomiya in it but the whole cast is superb. the writer is Sakamoto Sou who wrote Yasashii Jikan.

I can't find the thread (yeah,yeah.. but the search thingiy sucks) . The posting guide didn't include it yet.

You need to learn how to use the search engine: I had no problem finding the thread for this drama... And it's also in the database.

Gokusen and Kimi wa Petto very overrated.

people seem to hate the whole half-korean stuff in it. it actually has a superb plot

Gokusen was good though... however, I did think Gokusen 2 was SUPER overrated. I don't understand how something with similar storyline as the "original" can be so popular.

Kimi wa Petto... hmmm... yeah, kind of. The ending sucked, but it was an okay drama.

The ones I thought that was underrated was Kisarazu Cat's Eye and Tiger & Dragon.

That's a given.

I thought lunch no jou is a bit underrated, so is searching for my polestar...i mean the latter has an amazing cast and yet no one ever votes for it!

[HoLicHeaVen]

I think the most overrated are The Prince of Tennis Live Action and Princess Princess D... LoL...

Some of the anime were good, but when it was turned to be a dorama, it was sucks...

Not so much underrated, but Kimi ga Oshiete Kureta Koto isn't mentioned often. It's probably my favorite drama of all time and it's a shame that not that many people have heard of it.

It isn't my favourite drama of all time but it definitely deserves more attention. I thought it was scripted better than last season's Boku no Aruku Michi which also deals with the same theme.

iryu is pretty underrated. it's such a good drama though and got such a high satisfaction rate. i guess people realized it was good after it aired?

also, it's hard to really know if this is popular or not outside of the fandom because i'm a smap fan but shiroi kage. i do know it was popular back when it aired but i betcha if you mentioned that drama now most of the fans who are really into the younger pretty boys now will go i think the only people that recognize this drama now are the smap fans and people that watch old dramas.

oh yeah, and tiger and dragon also. man the writing is so clever in that drama and such a creative idea for a plot!

I agree I thought Princess Princess D was pretty awful, bad acting boring story *yawns* I couldn't force myself to put up with it anymore.

I haven't seen Prince of Tennis so I can't comment on that.

As for underrated doramas I dunno Regatta didn't get much love and I enjoyed that, Himitsu no Hanazono too
