Any drama with magic and fighting??
You should check out the sentai series. They are where the power rangers come from. Tho many are sci-fi, but lots of them have magic elements.

But since live action FX are expensive to do in a level that would satisfy an adult audience, they are not often in nighttime drama. However, in recent dramas, Saiyuuki comes to mind

So I tried a few dramas (DragonZakura, Kurosagi, My Boss My Hero and a few others), and I often enjoyed the first few episodes, then I got bored for a few reasons :
Romance (I don't mind romance in general, but for instance in Kurosagi the good girl who always tries to change the hero ... made me mad, it was too much salut ), and moral (Work Hard ! in DragonZakura, and "Bad Boy Yakuza becomes a good student who loves working" in My Boss my Hero).
The humour was good in my boss my hero, but the moralistic tone was too much , and i hated the ending.
So do you have any series I should appreciate? Something that doesn't have dumb romance (e.g not something where you can guess what will happen just loonking at the first episode), and is not moralist? scratch
Or is it impossible ? Cussing

Thank you !

And please, excuse my bad english, as it's not my native tongue ...

Judging from your list, it seems like you picked pretty mediocre dramas (no offense intended Laugh).

If you like humor, then I suggest Trick (all seasons). I found that to be the funniest series in recent memory. I also liked Tiger & Dragon (stars same lead as My Boss, My Hero), but it may be difficult to appreciate that one if you don't understand Japanese or if the subs don't capture all the humor.

If you want action or suspense, try Unfair. Rondou is also pretty good, but it also has romantic elements, which it seems you do not like.

I'm currently searching DramaWiki for these series Smile Thanks!
Concerning romance, it's not that I really dislike it, it can be interesting when the girl isn't dumb and when there is at least a bit of suspense, so that you don't know that the girl will end with the hero at first sight...

Edit : Well I'm not sure if the change of title is really appropriate Crying ...

my recommendation would be Ikebukuro West Gate Park (IWGP), it's more or less about gang life in Ikebukuro (Tokyo) and not really moralistic (I think).

That is because what interests me isnt the suspense of who will end up together, but the process. How the characters meet, come to like each other, what good and bad times they go through and how they finally resolve problems to have a happy ending. It is the emotional rollercoaster of the relationship that hooks me, not suspense.


I would recommend Ame to Yume no Ato ni. In my opinion it has what u're looking for. The trials the lead characters go through and strengthen their bond. It's very beautiful.

Yeah, you're definitely watching the wrong dramas.
People praise the dramas you've seen just because of one or two actors/actresses like Yamapi.

The best advice is to stay away from all school dramas, they will suck. Try watching the really weird and wacky ones.

I like my boss my hero very much
I think it's so funny but if you don't like it I don't mind
If you don't like too moral drama
try kekkon dekinai otoko and nobuta wo produce
it's more about progress of charactors

Not all school dramas are bad, although I must admit that I haven't watched many. I liked Nobuta wo Produce enough, and watched it purely because of recommendation. Didn't know who the actors and actresses were either when I started to watch it.

Try Kemonomichi, although there aren't any English subtitles available. It isn't exactly yakuza, but I also like the yakuza theme and this drama hangs around that genre.
