Can You Recommend a Dark Drama?

Hello everyone salut

I'm looking for a dark drama...something like Byakuyaku. I love the funny ones and all, but one's like Byakuyaku seem to captivate me more.

It doesn't have to be exactly like Byakuyaku, but just not so fluffy and innocent. So if you can think of a dorama that sounds like this, please let me know.

Thank you Big Smile

Aoi tori is quite dark, with a truly shocking episode in the middle.

I don't know if anything can match Byakuyakou, or at least the first episode... The first episode blew me away--probably the best single episode I've seen.

You might want to try 空から降る一億の星 (Sora kara Furu Ichioku no Hoshi) or 眠れる森 (Nemureru Mori), both very good.

Yepp, Nemureru Mori is good. Available at J-TV in higher quality. Smile

Awesome...I didn't even know about J-TV. Thanks guys-n-gals.

Néa, are you talking about JTV-Drama.net? Because I can't find Nemureru Mori there.

Ahh...and that's why I watch fansubs. Lol...thanks again. BTW...I did know about J-TV. They put out Orange Days (excellent fansub job) and that's the dorama that got me hooked =p

A Million Stars Fall From The Sky. Doubt it gets much darker or more twisted than that one...

I decided to check out 眠れる森 (Nemureru Mori aka Sleeping Forest), because it got the most recommendations.

I LIKE IT. =) So, I'm going to give the rest of the series a shot. Thank you for all of the other recommendations. I'll be sure to refer back to this thread when picking my next dorama =)

I would recommend Seija no Koushin.

Nemureru Mori is also good but I find Sora kara furu ichioku no hoshi better (it's a little bit similar).
