Worst J-drama Ever! (spoilers)

Dramas that are least favourite:

1. Beautiful Life - maybe I can't get past Kimura's hair in that drama. And the relationship developed between the 2 main characters seemed weird. Didn't feel much chemistry.

2. Proposal Daisakusen - Yamapi's acting was mediocre ^_^ and so is the lead girl. It gets on my nerves with every episode he went "Hallejah chance" and "NOOOOOOOOOO". One would have thought that he would get used to travelling back in time already! it was quite slow paced too.

3. Hana Kimi - I guess this falls into the category of "mindless watching". Not that I hate it but it's the kind of show which makes me go, "ok" and move on. It has a few lame scenes but that's okay.

And to those who prefer Gokusen 1 to other seasons, perhaps it's the fact that you watched season 1 first before other seasons. If one watched Gokusen 2 or 3, first, perhaps he may think, "Ahh, Gokusen 2/3 is better." I myself watched Gokusen 1 first, and think that that was the best season!

Enka no Joou

Waste of a download. First episode was really predictable, lead actress does not capture audience. Poor comedy.

Well for me my worst drama ever was GTO for many reason; the story was unbelievably silly and all through the drama they're trying 2 convince u that this pevert teacher can actually guide delinquents 2 the right way. the thing is when I downloaded it i used the batch torrent and copied it on a DVD without watching first, which i later regretted Sad

watching the whole thing to the end was 2 me like going through hell , i didn't even bring myself 2 watch either the special or the movie.

My second worst Drama was IWGP, well 2 tell u the truth i hated it more than GTO but i wouldn't want 2 judge it bec i only watched 4 episodes, and i personally think that we shouldn't or rather can't judge a drama untill we watch it through till the end. but really what kind of a drama is that, i just felt it had no message whatsoever besides being too darkly criminal. I only started downloading it after i had watched My Boss My Hero and liked Nagase so i thought i wanted 2 see him in another drama, but i was totally disappointed Sad

I absolutely agree with everyone who hated Hana Kimi, i only watched it after my japanese teacher recommended it, she told me it's funny and I have 2 admit it WAS but it was also sooooo ridiculous with a lot of unnecassary scenes like that fashion show in the end when they all wore dresses. Besides i was really annoyed watching the drama bec all along i liked Nakatsu's character way more than Sano's which i felt wasn't what the people who made the drama had in mind.

as for HYD ,which was the 1st drama i ever watched, i think it was really nice (thnks 2 it I got hooked on J-dramas) but after watching other dramas it started 2 lose the charm and when i try watching it now it feels so strange, u know i'm not even that enthusiastic 2 watch the movie or atleast not as much as i was when they first announced there would be one.

U know i'd just like 2 point out sth important, when we suddenly watch a somehow old drama (that aired in the 90's or so) after watching brand new ones, we should really put in mind that the drama is old while watching it, bec most of us go judging these ones by comparing them with newer ones which i think is absolutely unfair. I always put that in mind and that's why i'm not always surprised 2 find a not so good or even terrible but old drama rated on the top of the list (like GTO). it's simply bec the time it was aired is differs from now, also maybe people's tastes where different.

Judging by this thread it looks like it'd be mentioned in future posts about 'my friend recommended this drama to me and I hated it'. I generally accept silly dramas for what they are. But it was probably KIKU (Honolulu station) at fault for programming the dramas they did during the '90's which shaped/warped my preferences.

I would have to say my WORSE drama is Honey&Clover. I've seen some bad/stupid ones before but none of them have annoyed me as much as H&C! I downloaded it when it first aired but never got around to watching it. It's been sitting in my external hd forever so because I am such a horrible student, I decided to watch it instead of study for my finals. I thought it would serve as a good distraction so I won't be so stressed and worried. Something really weird happened that had never happened to me before but while watching it, I decided that studying was better than subjecting myself to watching that horrible drama.

As much as I like Toma, I really didn't like him in the drama. His acting was okay. It wasn't great, but not so horrible either. But his character was everything I hated in a person. He didn't have enough backbone to go for what he wanted, and even then, he was still unsure of what he wanted out of life. I understand that this drama was like a self discovery process for him, but this is the first time I wished the protagonist character would just get lost in his journey to find himself. He had no confidence, undecisive, unmotivated, socially awkward (which I find cute in most dramas but this one was not the case), and absolutely annoying.

Then there were 3 people who I wish I could have killed off from the first episode. The "love triangle" between the nerd with glasses, old woman he loves, and cry-baby chick who loves the nerd (yes I am being mean but I really couldn't stand them). I hated everything about them. How they all were so fickle -- I love her, I hate her, I love him, I hate him, and it repeats in a predictable, formulated cycle that makes me want to pull my hair out. How they seem to be making some progress but something would happen and they go back to their same pitiful selves. It drove me nuts even more to see how they were all sooooo PATHETIC.

I could probably go on about how much I hated H&C for a couple of pages but I won't. My hate rant is over. Sorry if I offended anyone but I really hated the characters in this drama. I had to force myself to finish it because I took the time to download it, so I had to at least watch it.

Although, I think I was in the wrong mindset to watch it. I was stressed about finals and I wasn't in much of a good mood. But I think if it was a truly good drama, I would enjoy it despite what kind of mood I was in.

The worst series that I've managed to watch from start to finish is probably To Heart. I adore Domoto Tsuyoshi and think he brings a lot of life to his roles, but his performance here was truly mediocre, and Fukada Kyoko's character, whose name I can't even remember, was the definition of annoying. The only thing it had going for it was the homely, somewhat nostalgic vibe to it, and a redundant but very catchy insert song that gets stuck in your head.

As to dramas I couldn't bring myself to watch until the end, the only one I think is worth mentioning is Shimokita Sundays. Dear God, Aya Ueto is adorable, but I could not watch more than 20 minutes of this.

Also, I don't know if this one counts since it wasn't a Renzoku, but KJ8s special drama, Kemarishi was... horribly, horribly cheese, and very hard to watch. I was forced through it, and even at that skipped through certain scenes. ^^;

Forbidden Love or Maho no Jouken was awful. I remember watching this a while back.. and it's about a teacher/student relationship that could've worked out well had it not been for that damn teacher. Why couldn't she just wait 6 more months 'til he graduated?! Gawd, she was so horny she had to do seduce him in the library. On top of which she announced the relationship to the entire student body so now she not only confirmed the horrid rumor, she ruined the kid's future. She was such a drama queen that the kid focused all his attn on her and forgot abt his mother who was so lonely and vulnerable, she left herself open to a takeover by the guy she thought she could trust. So then the teacher was disowned by her family, and she invites the kid to runaway with her. She gets pregnant while living out and about from paycheck to paycheck when she gets in one tiny little argument with him, and decides to run away cuz she couldn't handle it AFTER she's already ruined his life!! Cussing

All the worst things you hoped wouldn't happen, happened cuz she just kept making one retarded decision after another. I kept watching hoping she'd get arrested sometime, which she did, though not long enough. I so wanted her to die in the end, ugh!

Oh and the tiny argument she had was about the kid wanting to go back to take care of his mother, who was on the verge of suicide after getting voted out of staying as a director of a hospital, a position she'd worked hard for and depressed cuz her son ran away w/his teacher. I mean, who wouldn't understand his situation??? Damn she was so selfish!!!!

a lot of people said first kiss was the worst ever, but i thought it was not bad. but then again, i like hiraoka yuuta, so maybe that's it.

i didn't really like kimi wa petto that much. i watched the whole thing. i thought the acting was good, but the plot was just sort of odd...and the ending was weird too.

yukan club was...decent, i guess scratch

i love yoko, and i watched it till the end, but jin was just so horrible in some scenes it almost made me give up. i didn't care for junno either, or the girl who eats a lot. i can't believe this drama won so many awards.

YES im not the only person who thinks Hana Kimi was bad. I was also uh-uh let's move on, until the 7th ep and I really couldn't take it anymore Crazy

summer snow was good tho Crying

and i like enka no jyoou so far (at episode 3 already). i think it requires a totally weird sense of humor to enjoy this show, so. Big Smile

can't remember wat bad doramas there were coz I watched too much doramas. but those worth trashing besides Hana Kimi were: joushi deka! (OMG tt'S totally a waste of nakama yukie), Majo no Jouken (gave up midway), Love 2000 (confusing story).
