I also don't understand the Stand Up!! hate... it was one of my favourite dramas of all time!

I don't think I would term it 'hate', I would just say more 'meh' and 'yawn'.

Of course, I also hearted Kimi wa Petto just because the plot was so bizarre and Jun did a phenom job in it, but everyone against it as well.

As battlegirlai said, "to each his own." So true! Smile

i like that there is a place where people can say "i didn't like ____". when people try to do it in the discussion threads, they usually get argued with by everyone else in the thread and sometimes get accused of being trolls. but generally all they want to do is give an alternative opinion on the shows or people.

i actually prefer to read negative reviews and opinions about a show before watching it. people gush and say "omg it was great. the acting was superb, etc etc etc" but negative opinions can say "it was bleh, it dragged in the middle and the characters were one dimensional and such an such can't act to save his life." it doesn't stop me from watching the show. but it gives me more of a realistic expectation of what i might see. if i go into watching a show with that kind of mentality, i find i can enjoy shows that i otherwise might have ended up thinking "wow...that was overhyped...it wasn't nearly as good as everyone said"

battlegirlai - I totally agree. There should definitely be a place for arguing about the crapness of certain dramas. Big Smile

This thread is pretty funny.

I don't know about other people, but I'm certainly not going to not watch a drama because of what people say on here. I'm watching Yukan Club as we speak, for example. Tongue

(And I am finding that I do agree with a large portion of the sentiments on here though! Laugh

) Everyone should definitely get their own opinion of dramas, and not rely totally on others, either good or bad, to form their own opinion. Smile

I just felt I had to stick up for Stand Up! cuz it was awesome. Big Smile

I'm a bit of an oddball as well, I loved Stand Up! and Kimi wa Petto both. I guess I'm just a fan of more imaginative storylines in general and both of these dramas had something that you just don't see every day. In contrast, I thought a lot of fan favourites (like for example HanaDan) were kind of bleh because of their generic plots.

Oh, and while it wasn't the worst ever, the drama that pissed me off the most is the recently completed Last Friends. Sweet Jesus, how did they manage to ruin a drama that had so much potential? I felt completely betrayed after I finished it.

I'm female and I loved Stand Up!! So it's not just you guys. Tongue

WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR CERTAIN DRAMA & PROBABLY OFFENSIVE TO MAKI FANS. Move along if you don't want to see~

For me, but not what I would consider Worst Jdrama ever is Honey and Clover. It wasn't actually the drama itself, but the whole plot. (I don't think I'll be reading the manga) How utterly, utterly bored I got with it. This is mostly down to watching the two pumpkins; Yamada and Mayama that I had to put up with through the whole series. We have a girl here pining over a guy who is pining over a woman, for a reason which I don't know. Seriously, this Rika chick, what did Mayama see in her? Boring, boring as hell she was. Who also happened to be pining over her dead BF/husband, It didn't help having to watch Yamada drag after Mayama through the whole series. Seriously. Toma and Narimiya Hiroki saved this series for me, well it kept me watching to the end but: Hagumi, she's a pretty dull character too. I don't think it was Narumi Riko's fault for that, though. If I ever do read the manga, it won't be because of it's drama.

Last Friends let me down a whole lot too. From what the synopsis told me which I read before it aired: Michiru blah blah blah is a victim of domestic violence - continues on to explain Ruka/Takeru's situations. "The three of them become house mates and through their associations with others, gain the capacity to be positive about life." Where was this moving into the share house and becoming positive about life? Because I saw Michiru move out at least 3 times after that and run straight back to her nut of a boyfriend. There were happy moments in this drama but it was all overshadowed by everyones problems, which were all wrapped up neatly and tidy in the Finale after Sosuke finally pulled a knife on himself. Knowing that the producers sacrificed the storyline for Sosuke/Michiru beating sessions is pretty depressing since there wasn't much positiveness going on through this show. We had Ruka when not worrying over her GID can't make up her mind about Michiru. Takeru who is haunted by his creep of a big sis and Eri who can't decide what to do with herself or Ogurin. It was a pretty tiring show to watch, and I'm sad they wanted more Ryo throwing his girlfriend around then actually story and it's progression in this series.

HanaKimi... well I actually liked this, only problem is who the lead actress was.

Nobuta Wo Produce, despite it being the first Asian drama I ever watched and the one that got me into Jdrama in the first place, going back to it I have to say I really can't stand it. Neutral

Nobuta was boring. Very, very boring. I liked the plot but the girl it was all centered on killed it for me. Again, the cast (beside Maki) saved this drama for me.

Yukan Club; watched it for Jin. Re-watch it for Jin. Couldn't agree more with Ladymercury.

Well when it comes to it, I don't really have a worst Jdrama of all time, and if I want to point out the things that annoyed me about a certain series I'd be here all day. Tongue

I have to say, after watching the last three episodes of Last Friends I felt betrayed as well. I just made a large ass rant over in the LF thread about, xD I so I wont repeat myself here.
