Japanese Dramas

[Stuart444]

I looked and saw some threads relating to this but are over a month old (if I missed any, then sorry) so I figured I would start a thread on this.

Does anyone here watch/have watched any japanese dramas (j-dramas)?

I have watched a few series like Gokusen (all 3 seasons) and Hana Yori Dango (2 seasons, waiting on the Hana Yori Dango Final DVD to come out and hopefully get subbed <_< ) and I also remember watching Kimi Wa Petto. Actually from watching Gokusen season 1, HYD and Kimi Wa Petto I became a fan of Matsumoto Jun and Arashi ^_^

Said this in the last thread, but there's a few additions, and everyone loves drama!

There might be more, but I dunno. The ones I can think of are all Chinese, not Japanese.

I'm personally a fan of Sato Takeru, Mizushima Hiro, Sakurai Sho, and Okada Masaki, with Sato Takeru being the one I like best.

I don't think Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon really counts as a 'drama' it is more of a 'live action' version of an anime, but I am adding it because Gokusen and HYD also come under the 'live action version of an anime' list.

 

[Loki]

Oh Moyo-chan, that reminds me.

Hana Yori Dango season 1 is the only HYD I've seen.

And:

Ichi Rittoru no Namida (D)
^ I cried so much by the end of the first episode, I decided I would shrivel up if I watched anymore, thus I couldn't go on. xD;

It's so easy to compile a bigger list when series are only ten episodes long on most occasions and if there's only one show I'd watch a year, it'd be whatever the current Kamen Rider series is.

Just started Pi Li MIT yesterday; And wow. I'm pretty impressed. Most of the actors are pretty new; Gui Gui is really young and inexperienced, Arron has only been in two major acting roles, and the most seasoned actor in the main cast isn't even the focus of the story. I'm really pleased with it so far, but the constantly rotating supporting cast is kind of frustrating. Makes for it to be kind of hard to remember names, even when I've got the subs.

It's got a bajillion different names though. Mysterious Incredible Terminator, The Clue Collector- well fine, it only has three, but still. <_< They need to make up their minds.

 

[digi-kun]

Hmmm...i generally don't pay much attention to J-dramas, but i guess there's a few. Super HEEERRRRRRRO hour i generally pay attention to though, if toku counts

Super Sentai until i get bored of it (Go-Onger), Gekiranger was good though
Kamen Rider is generally a pretty fun series that i generally catch up with if i miss it
One Litre of Tears i watched a bit, then just kinda forgot about it
Same for Hana Yori Dango, though it was pretty fun to watch while i did

 

[Snivi]

I just found a super cute one and I am downloading episode 1 of it. Its called Sweet Relationship(Taiwanese). It is based off of a manga called Delicious Relationship(which I plan to read).

Ichi Rittoru no Namida or One Litre Of Tears is the only one I've watched. (finished it last night actually) I thought it was amazing, I've never cried so hard in my life. There wasn't much me left during the last 2 episodes but maybe I'm just overemotional.
