Oguri Shun is so unattractive in Stand Up.

Nino looks like he's 12.

and yeah Yamapi is hot (and Narimiya Hiroki too), you got me there. and Yamapi is probably the reason why I initially decided to watch Stand Up, but definitely not the reason I watched the whole thing and liked it (a lot). Dragon Zakura and Sore wa sjdkasl something are examples of Yamapi dramas that i fast forwarded through.

Stand Up starts out really ridiculous, and the plot summary sounds stupid, but once you get into it, the story and characters are all really endearing. not to mention the hilarity factor. It's actually a story about friendship and loyalty, that becomes obvious if you watch more than just the first couple episodes.

Stand Up! was great.

YP's acting (at best) was probably in IWGP (Ikebukoro West Gate Park) - due to spoilers, I'll just say his best acting scene was him falling out the locker.

As for worst drama... Princess Princess D - I couldnt stand the first half of the first episode - DOWNLOADED the whole batch, then deleted. I was watching this during the time Kamen Rider DEN-O was airing.

Whenever I go through the reviews on here and on jdorama, I am usually hesitant about the dramas where there are numerous reviews saying "OMG! This is the best series, EVER!!!! [insert name] is so KAWAII!!!!!!!!!!"

I avoided Nobuta wo Produce because of the fangirls, but after my brother raved about it, I decided to give it a go. It turned out better than I expected. I liked how the focus was primarily on the strong friendship among the three friends.

I almost gave up on Yaoh because the first few episodes were just so bad. The overly dramatic music, I felt, was too overpowering and the acting wasn't all that great. However, after the fifth/sixth episode, it got better.I think this was because of the cancer storyline. I just didn't like it.

Sometimes, just go ahead and watch a drama without letting others influence you. Big Smile

Anyway, I mentioned some dramas i didnt like in a few pages back, and i suddenly remember one more to add to the list!

1 pound of gospel. I watched until episode 4? and i stopped. thought it'd be a waste of my time to continue watching. Roll Eyes

I don't think I've ever watched one that I really disliked... but Dragon Zakura rubbed me the wrong way, for whatever reason. I honestly don't even know why I didn't like it that much, because I loved GTO and Gokusen, and I wasn't really comparing it with them.

I dunno, I just found myself watching for the sake of completion but not really enjoying the series. (Teppei was cute, though)

EDIT: And in response to earlier comments, I recently watched Stand Up!! and absolutely adored it. I was a bit apprehensive to watch it at first, because I heard somewhere that it was basically a Japanese "American Pie", but after a few episodes (because it did take me a while to get into the type of humour they were using) I couldn't stop watching Smile

Yeah, Dragon Zakura bored me. I just watched it to see yamapi in a wifebeater.

GTO > Gokusen > every other school drama > Dragon Zakura

hi everyone! let me first start out with the series that i finished and as a result, became violent and world-hating pinch. i'll try to comment on the series if i remember anything about them or maybe they're just so horrible that they're blocked from my memory. OK! *drumrolls* here they are in no particular order:

1. usokoi- i love yukie, but that drama was just so horrid =( i watched it a while ago and all i remember was not liking it
2. tokyo wankei - OMG this was beyond boring! what a friggin' waste of my time.
3. hatachi no kekkon - someone kill me please
4. SOS - kill me again please
5. to heart - it was just so lame. i love tsuyoshi, but some parts were so wrong. and kyoko was as annoying as heck.
6. teppan shoujo akane - that was so lame. i can't believe i actually watched through all that. normally i can stand lame. sailormoon is ok for me. but i don't know why, i couldn't stand this series
7. love revolution - i like makiko. and is it just me but naohito perfectly fits a player's image. anyways, the melodrama was just too much for me. and i did not care for the characters (except for makiko)
8. love generation - one of the early ones i watched. i was incredibly annoyed with matsuko's character and i felt so bad for takuya's character. bleh
9. taiyou no uta - sadly, like... nothing happened in this drama. it had a great cast. but the story. ... is non-existing.
10. boku dake no madonna - *laments for takki* i don't like hasegawa (?)
11. cheap love - o takashi, what a crappy, unrealistic, crappy drama u were in. =(
12. with love - o how i despise that female character. every time she says "teru teru bouzu", *shudders* it's like fingernails scratching a chalkboard
13. itoshi kimi e - i love u miho, but even you could not save this drama. *shudders at the naohito*
14. yamato nadeshiko - the only thing i enjoyed in there was looking at nanako
15. fukigen na gene - basically nothing happened. but at least i like yuko
16. heaven's coins 3 - horrible haphazard story and no character chemistry imo
17. blackjack ni yoroshiku - i was incredibly disappointed with this one.
18. oishii proposal - so cliche.

and the series that i could not even finish.
1. kiken na aneki - omg misaki, you are NOT funny. and you are NOT cute. please stop it
2. you're under arrest - omg misaki, you are NOT funny. and you are NOT cute. please stop it pinch in a span of many years, i tried to watch the first 2-3 episodes several times. this last time i tried and it was unsuccessful again. then i just realized i'll never watch it, so i threw it away.

Sadly. I have to agree with that, but I've seen worse dramas. It's just that Tsutsumi Shinichi in an all-out romance drama was a bit awkward.

BTW, that's a whole lot of romance dramas you've listed.

I managed to finish it. But yes, Misaki played a mere accessory in this one. Lead actor was great though.

Maybe that's one of the problems: there's not much freshness in that drama department and most of what does exist is contrived. sweating

i liked shinichi in sailor fuku to kikanjuu Wub . but he was so weak in yamato nadeshiko and i was not interested in his character at all. i barely even remember his character pinch

and you know what? i LOVE romance. i guess i just expect more from them, especially with so many romance dramas out there.

Man, you know I was never ever going to join another forum after the last one I was on and.... this thread made me really wanna post.

Well, I see (from the last few pages I read) not many people likes HanaKimi lol and after reading everyone opinions, it was a favorite of mine either.. I just liked Toma. And not many people seem to like Honey and Clover.... and again, in the end, I liked it because of Toma haha... ^_^U But yeah, I didn't like Hugo that much and after reading her manga/anime counterpart, she seems nothing like them..... And yah, the love triangle thing was very bothersome. But um, my list of dramas I really didn't like:

Princess Princess - Well... um.... when I first saw it, I was like "What's going on?!" Because it just seemed like stuff just... going on haha. I watched 3 episodes, and that was it. It just sucked, and I know I don't want to watch the anime or read the manga. I really didn't think the story was exactly interesting, and I just can't believe guys would go to that level just to get girls in a school.... weeeird.

Vampire Host - I think that's the name of the series... or Vampire gigolo or whatever. Just by watching the opening... I was like... "This sucks... and I didn't even really watch the show!" But I couldn't go past the cheeseyness of the show. I watched a little, but it just wasn't for me.

Gokusen 3 - Well, I understand it's a big show in Japan, which is why I can't say "They need to stop making new seasons of season 1" because I feel like, well, it's made for the Japanese audience, not really for us oversea fans. With that said, I'm just not a fan of repeats... It's the same formula every episode. Each main character student have their "coming of age" episode or something, and Yankumi comes in like superman and saves the day for her students, while not trying to be discovered her family is part of the yakuza. I think if there is a next season, she should teach a classroom of girls. That will be hilarious! And a different take on the show. But like I said, it's for the Japanese viewers, and if they like it how it's been going.... then ok ^_^ Oh yeah, the guy who played Ogata... grrr! He makes me so mad. He looks like a wannabe so much! Just, if I saw him walking down the street, I wouldn't be scared of him. And he's not very cute. And then the guy who plays Ren. I just can't take him seriously. I first saw him on 14 year old mother, and he was like.... a meek scared guy and now he's tough. It's just weird for me ^_^UU

First Kiss - Well, I saw a one episode, and the main character jsut annoyed me. I just don't like her attitude... even if she has a disease that can kill her. I know people say you should give a drama more of a chance and watch more of it, but, it just came off bad to me.

Zettai Kareshi - It was a let down for me. I was happy it was going to be made into a drama... But I don't like Riiko and her attitude. She's a meanie to everyone around her. And a bit.... stupid in my opinion. If you're going to spend $1 million on anything, I think it should get treated very well, no matter what it is.

But yeah, that's my rant on shows I don't like too much. Sorry it's long, and hi everyone.

I am watching this now and I really like it! Maybe it is made for an "older generation". I really like the characters and I like the chemistry with the leads. It is more like watching real life rather than crazy over the top things that can happen in some dramas.

i couldn't agree with you, for me zettai kareshi is one of the best dorama in 2008 (i haven't watch last friend and bara no nai hana ya, which almost everyone say it is really good). since episode 1 i already fall in love with Mokomichi character, he is so funny and annoying at the same time. The storyline is just great, you'll find romance, comedy, and action in a perfect balance.
