Anyway, anyone knows good dramas starring michiko kichise & erika toda? I watched them on liar game and they were awesome
And any other juri ueno jdramas? I have only watched ouroboros and alice no toge so far
Since no one else has mentioned it, the first show I saw Toda Erika in (and one of my first j-drama's) was Summer Nude. Excellent show and a good way to get into j-drama's.yusuk3 wrote:Hi!

If you haven't checked it out, I'd highly recommend Shinya Shokudo. Apparently, there's a Korean version that's on now, but I Haven't seen it. I also liked Coffee-ya no Hitobito. On a completely different note, I did watch and really enjoy Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san, but it's not quite in the same genrestr5x wrote:What good food jdramas would you recommend?
I got hooked to jdramas with Kodoku no gurume. It is a masterpiece in my
opinion. (Incidentally, does anyone know if a new season is upcoming or
they just didn't renew it?)
I'm also enjoying Hondana Shokudo, following fellow Earth Buri's

Anything similar?

all centered around food.
There is also a main storyline: Some truck drivers help a widow to

become a ramen chef...- Nonchan Noriben : About a single mom, and her starting a bento making
business...- Sukiyaki : The prisoners are given sukiyaki once in a while, (which
is a traditional family meal,) so they can remember their
families...

I watched the first episode of Kaeru no Oujo-sama (about choir) that I saw recommended by someone else, and I didn't like it. Characters weren't interesting. Neither was the story.

I've never thought of a non-foolish comedy before. Not sure if such a thing exists. I prefer goofy characters like in Mr. Brain.
Koshonin has strong willed woman as the only woman police field negotiator.
Kemonomichi might fall under career strong woman. Maybe Monster Parent too. I tend to like to watch Ryoko Yonekura.
. Do you have other dramas to recommend haha . Maybe any genre is okay as long it is good and not too dark. (Not for the mood of dark dramas like Kemonomichi now. Feeling a bit down and need more laugh haha).Thanks.. I love Pro Golfer hana. The jokes are a bit childish but so funny lol.

Too bad the head nurse Natori Yuko appears very few times in season 2 and 3. (Still downloading season 4 lol.. )
Tbh, nothing beats Doctor X (strong, lone-wolf woman against bureaucracy <3. This really inspires me and give me spirits to do well in career!! ) and team batista 3
as a drama (not just medical drama). Doctors 3, unfortunately is quite meh. The antagonist is very fun to watch , but the story is kinda.. aimless. The first season is not bad thou and in fact, among the better one. You should try season one of doctors i think. This is one of the rare dramas where the side cast (aka the 'antagonist', suguru sensei ) outshadow the main doctor (sagara sensei).

Must watch:
-Oniyome Nikki season 1(Very funny and heartwarming. One of best Japanese family/comedy. The genre is not really just abt mom friendship, but it is one of the BIG highlight! In fact, i love how the two housewives/main chara's friend is greatly influenced by Sanae/main chara)
-Saitou san 1&2 (About strong mum whose initially was hated but gain respect by the mothers around her. Well, not really.. but
it is very heartwarming too, though not as good/deep/heavy as Namae wo Nakushita megami. Love it more than Miother game though)
Another good one (but this focus is not on friendship/housewives, but rather housewives and housedads): At Home dad
(made by same producer of Oniyome Nikki. This was in fact the predecessors. About the real (it was more realistic than oniyome nikki) struggle of housedad to fit in in housewives duty and
environment, and of course, include friendship. As a big bonus, Abe Hiroshi as housedad!)
Housewives/women join power to solve mistery:
-SCANDAL
-HUNTER .. Onna tachi (This is really a stretch but friendship between women of different class and status formed when they are doing Bounty Hunter)
Please give feedback if u watch any of them
Yes, "ippiki ookami", that tagline repeated in every episodeuedajirou wrote:Well, Unlike the Iryu, Doctor X is more plot driven and it is not pure medical drama but more like ippiki ookami (lone wolf) against bureaucraucy, particularly women (which is still prejudiced in Japan.That is why lotsof fans of the series are women, compared to Iryu for exampe . This series is kinda specially catered for Japanese market). That is why less attention on medical explanation, but rather politics and how the main chara responds to it. Idk, but the less they focus on the medical part, the higher the rating it is in season 2. That is why they are overdoing it in season3. I would say season 3 is really rushed indeed. It was less fascinating in a way than season 1 and season 2. But it was surprising to see japanese public says otherwise, where lots of people says season 3 is more better in their opinion. They even love tiniest details. Like the episode when Hara comes back and cries in front of the doctors, the videos were like all over the net. And also like the part where Daimon says to Kaji "To the patient, you are the only doctor!". etc etc.
Iryu thou.. idk but the explaination in the medical conditions are great. But nothing much to enjoy in the plot-wise. I mean, not all audience loves medical term without plot.
Team Batista is quite balanced in terms of plots, mystery and medical condition. Though, they are from different angle.

But imho, the last two episodes, especially about the last two episodes were really great, imho. Well, maybe beside the vague ending. But jdrama often has vague, confusing ending lol. ANd there are Indeed lots of qns posted in sns about the ending. (Btw, the last episode reach peaks viewership of 31.1% or 31.3%, I cant remember.. The third season does incorporate lots of current japanese trend which the writer includes: kabedon (i remember this scene was mistranslated in the english sub), dame yo dame dame, furikome sagi (well, this is old haha), etc etc. The third season is created differently than the two seasons, which I regretted too. This time round, Daimon sensei somehow made lots of great quote abt what good doctor is and even there was one episode on akira san explaining on why she said 'she never fails' and Jyounouchi sensei explain abt Daimon's good pt.. I wish the season 4 next year will come back to its original route and doesnt end up like Doctors and Iryu lol.
I will post the narration later.

I've interested in At Home Dad from long time ago because Abe Hiroshi is on it
Sadly, i just keep it on my list. I'll watch it for sure
. It seems like they change the director ot something 
. But in oniyome nikki, there are few of reference to At Home dad lol. Aftterall, the two charas and the housing at Oniyome nikki (season 1 only) are the same with at home dad"", need moar)

I like music-centered dramas, romcoms are okay of course, comedy - if it's not too esaggerated, it's too embarassing, ahah! - is welcome as well! I like it more when it leaves you with your heart half broken. I don't like the "the girl in disguise as a boy" thing, so, if there's something without it...well, good! And...Also yakuza things are welcome as well, or money/power related (?). Did i already said i like them more when they leave you with your heart half broken, right?

I am currently looking into JDramas which are predominantly set in nature or rural landscapes for a paper I am working on. I would be very thankful for some suggestions. So far looking for Dramas which were set in Okinawa or Hokkaido wasn't very fruitful for they are mostly family based and targeted at an older audience or historical dorama; I'm looking for something in a contemporary time frame. Due to the recent trend of escaping to the rural areas I thought it'd be interesting to look at the depictions of nature and landscape in dorama targeted at a younger demographic.
I know this is quite specific, but I hope that there are some at least that fit this description. The only one I was able to think of was something along the lines of Amachan! (which I only saw partially because without subs it at some point got too stressful to watch since my Japanese is way too rusty nowadays). Hopefully there are at least some dorama that fit this description.

Have to recommend Engine. It was my first J-Drama and I was impressed by it enough to actually start watching others. It has a great balance between the racing and the home stuff. That ending perfectly fits the show though.JackBauer2424 wrote:So far, Engine is not bad. Not sure if Kimura Takuya usually picks good characters to play or if I'm just mezmorized by his pretty boy looks or charisma. There were a handful of his dramas I didn't like (Tsuki no Koibito, I'm Home, Sora Kara Ichioku...).
Also, you don't see a lot of shows from the late 1990s or early 2000s. I want to re-watch some shows I remember having some great theme songs.

Nanako Matsushima is super duper pretty and her voice is so attractive. The GTO actor himself did a great job of being a bit dopey.
Not sure if I want to watch the re-cast GTO series.
What's the story behind Kaseifu no Mita going from Nanako to Ryoko Yonekura?
Kaseifu no Mita and Kaseifu wa Mita are totally different. The title of Nanako's Kaseifu no Mita (Literal title: Mita The Housekeeper) itself is largely inspired by very old TV asahi populae trademark dramas titled Kaseifu wa Mita! (Literal title: the House Keeper saw it!). Yonekura's Kaseifu wa Mita! is a rehash or rather, a part of the TV asahi franchise Kaseifu wa Mita!. Some people thought Kaseifu wa Mita is inspired by Kaseifu no Mita, which is actually the other way round. It is Kaseifu no Mita which is inspired by the franchiseJackBauer2424 wrote:Stayed away from Great Teacher Onizuka (1998) thinking I didn't have interest in another teenage school story with former gang member, but it was pretty good.
