Japanese- we should all be aware of this coming list. It's not even complete. I can't believe I watched this many Jdramas in my life! What a waste of time! *has no life*
1 Litre of Tears (1リットルの涙) 2005 秋 - The ever so famous drama that shot Sawajiri Erika and Ryo-chan to fame (even if he only got like 5 minutes every ep!) Do we really not know what this drama is about? It's about a girl named Aya (Sawajiri) who is in junior high, and she is told that she is diagnosed with spinocerebellar ataxia/degeneration. It's a very touching drama about how the girl and her family copes with this and how she faces family and friends. It's rather harsh. Her classmates were rather bitchy after awhile. I wanted to slap them so much. Ryo was completely the saviour and I totally heart him for that fact. Poor Aya. This was based on a true story. It was originally based on the diaries that the real Aya had written during the many years that she was diagnosed. Ryo's character "Asou" doesn't exist in real life. Real Aya's mom wanted her daughter to have a romance in her "fairytale" life because she never got the chance to experience it. (Although there wasn't much romance anyways) 5/5
14-yr-old Mother (14才の母) 2006 秋 - Shida once again takes another challenge! She's so talented, I love on her :) I'd think the title says it all. Shida becomes impregnanted with Miura's child when she is only 14. Things happen. It's a tough life. 4/5
24 Hour Emergency Ward 1,2,3 (救命病棟24時) 1999 冬, 2001 夏, 2005 冬 - This is like the epic medical jdrama. I heart it so much! 1: 4/5, 2: 3.5/5, 3: 5/5
3 nen B gumi Kinpachi Sensei season 5, 6, 7 (3年B組金八先生) 1999, 2001, 2004 - Some of these were very good. Kazama did a really good job in here, but I liked Hoshino Mari the most. And then in the 6th series, Ueto Aya kinda pwned everyone else! 7th one, was seriously not as good as the previous ones, but I give credit to Hikaru for doing the best he did. It wasn't easy to act as a drug addict for his young age. 5: 4/5, 6: 3.5/5, 7: 3/5
7 Days of a Dad and a Daughter (パパとムスメの7日間) 2007 春- Aragaki Yui did surprisingly well in here. It's never easy to be the younger person acting as an old dude. This was like Freaky Friday, JP version. 4/5
Absolute Boyfriend (絶対彼氏) 2008 春 - I liked the manga more. But Saki Aibu did a great job. I like her a lot. This drama totally made me hungry and crave for cream puffs! 4/5
Affectionate Time (優しい時間) 2005 冬 - I liked the pottery made in this drama. It was interesting watching the tension around the coffee shop. :P 3.5/5
Aikurushii (あいくるしい) 2005 春 - It was just another touching drama. It's fun to see Kamiki Ryunosuke and all his Rainbow Warrior friends though. They're all so cute! (AND OMG HONGO! *SQUISHES*) 4/5
Akihabara@DEEP 2006 夏 - We all know I love Akiba. Otaku-love! And well, Kazapon FTW! He pwns Narimiya Hiroki as Page. And Toma pwnz Oshunari Shugo's Box too. So OCD. 4/5
Anego (アネゴ) 2005 春 - Ohh Shinohara Ryoko~ I'm so amazed by her. But why must Jin be in it? XD 3.5/5
Anna's Best Friend (アンナさんのおまめ) 2006 秋 - People need to start loving Becky more. She's so funnnnny. A bit over exaggerated, but who cares! 4/5
Aren't You a Criminal? (キミ犯人じゃないよね?) 2008 春 - Kanjiya Shihori and Kaname Jun work together to solve crimes. The mysteries in here are the level of Puzzle. It's very humorous too. 4/5
Around 40 (アラウンド40) 2008 春 - I watched this for AKIRA (EXILE). XD And because I really liked Fujiki Naohito's character in here. He's very environmentalist. Basically a drama about women nearing their 40's. Not something I would understand yet. XD 3/5
Attention Please (アテンションプリーズ) 2006 春 - I think I didn't like this drama too much, because Aya was just too annoying for the likes of me. Really, just STFU!! It also made me sad that Saki Aibu didn't end up with Ryo,... AGAIN! 2.5/5
Attention Students! (生徒諸君!) 2007 春 - This drama eventually gets better. Maki is wonderful in here. But I'd prefer it if Uchiyama Rina would STFU. 3.8/5
Beach Boys 1997 夏 - All I remember is that Sorimachi Takashi and Takenouchi Yutaka work at this shop on the beach run by Hirosue Ryoko's grandfather. Beach, hot boys, hooray!! 4/5
Beautiful Life 2000 冬 - Aww this drama was so touching. Tokiwa Takako plays a woman thats bounded to a wheelchair and then Kimutaku as this hairstylist. And.. yeah. They fall in love? 3.5/5
Bloody Monday 2008 秋 - Brilliance that is similar to Unfair in a different perspective. BM is rather suspenseful and gets you hooked onto their every move. My lover, Miura Haruma is definitely improving bit by bit. He was absolutely glamorous in here, and I just love his cry scenes. Beauty. The ending seriously got me. Here I thought I was always ontop of the story and though meh, I totally know where this plot is headed, I totally know the bad guys, and I know whats gonna happen to them. Turns out I'm COMPLETELY WRONG. It blew my mind away. 5/5 +
Bomb Bee Man (貧乏男子) 2008 冬 - Shun is amazing. And so is Haruma. But wait, did we all know that Ahyoomee of SUGAR is in this? ROFL! I went back and watched the first ep, and she looks different. She looks older than Yamada Yu! (She's her co-worker) anyways. I love on Kamiji Yusuke in here as well. His character is adorable. 5/5
Brother Beat (ブラザー☆ビート ) 2005 秋 - Super eyecandified drama. But mainly because I have a thing for Tamayama Tetsuji and I think Kuninaka Ryoko is cute. And well Moko is nice to stare at. 3.5/5
BusuKoi (ブスの瞳に恋してる) 2006 春 - I like Morisanchuu. That should be enough to watch this drama. It's hilarious to the max. And I used to like Shige a lot. But really. Morisanchuu FTW. 4/5
Byakkotai (白虎隊) 2007 冬 - Super boring drama set in the olden days starring many JE boys. I don't even remember what happened. 2/5
Cat's Eye/Kisarazu Cat's Eye 2002 冬 - This was fun and hilarious to watch. Many things about baseball, and the group of 5 becoming burglars at night. Joy! 8D Oh right, there's also dying Okada. 4/5
Crying out Love, In the Centre of the World 2004 夏 - See this would be an example of where I thought drama > movie. Ayase Haruka was so cute in here! 5/5
DxD 1997 夏 - Nagase Tomoya and Okada Junichi are apparently this duo that can sense and fight ghost spirits. It's pretty lol-worthy. 3/5
Dance Drill (ダンドリ) 2006 夏 - Boring. But Massu was cute. ROFL. I basically skim through this drama. 2/5
Dangerous After School (あぶない放課後) 1999 春 - SO FUNNY. Subaru is so adorable as Nino's younger step-bro. 4/5
Dangerous Sister (危険なアネキ) 2005 秋 - This was kind of hilarious, starring Ito Misaki and Moriyama Mirai. Before I watched this, the entire time I thought they were incestuous lovers judging from the promo pics. But uhh, they aren't. They're just siblings, where Ito is really ditzy and Moriyama is super smart. 3/5
Days of Youth (若葉のころ) 1996 春 - I don't really remember all that happened, but I'm sure Koichi somehow got Okina Megumi pregnant in here and.... I don't know. 3.5/5
Dear Father (拝啓、父上様) 2007 冬 - I don't remember if I finished this or not. But uh.. this srsly made me fall asleep. Why do they keep giving Yoko roles like that? I think he can do a lot better, judging from his older dramas. =\ 1/5
Deep Love- アユの物語 2004 秋 - Iwasa Mayuko's first drama? Basically about JK prostitution and young love. I just thought Iwasa looked pretty here. Her dramas after this make her look... fat. 3/5
Delicious Academy (美味學院) 2007 春 - OMG. Nissy's drama! WHY IS NISSY SO ADORABLE? And well also the awesome that is Nakamura Yuichi (D-BOYS). It makes me sad no one knows him, but I DO! Totally stalk him like whoa 2 years ago. xDDv Anyways this drama is sooo full of crack. It's not actually that interesting either but at least it had food to keep me going and shiny boys <3 But mainly just the awesome of Nissy. These 5 boys get trapped in this school of cuisine and they have to do these food cooking battles to GTFO. 3/5
Detective Conan Live Action 1&2 - I love my mystery detective dramas! So yay for Conan being made into live action. Too bad it's the Kudo Shinichi times, instead of Chibi little Conan. But I kind of hate on Kurokawa Tomoka. ROFL. Kashii Yu's appearance in the second special was awesome :) Their chibi counterparts are so adorable! 4/5
Detective School Q (探偵学園Q) 2007 夏 - The kids are so talented! I really like this a lot. It's ok mysterious, but I totally love on the opening and ending theme songs! <3 5/5
Dragon Zakura (ドラゴン桜) 2005 夏 - a Pi and Masami drama. ergh. I probably watched this because of Pi in the first place. The exercises and plans they do in here are kind of fun, and it really did help me study for my finals. ROFL! 4/5
Fallen Angels 1&2(翼の折れた天使たち) 2006 冬 / 2007 冬 - Memorable ones would be Ueno Juri's Story 4 in the first series and Kato Rosa's Story 3 in the second season. Man, Kato is so super awesome. I totally love on her, why can't she have more roles? Anyways, Kimura Ryo is in story 3 too, and when I watched this, it was still my theory that Kimura Ryo always acted as homosexual roles. (No, like srsly.) 4/5
Fire Boys 2004 冬 - A nice Yamada Takayuki drama. Probably because I am biased and I love firemen dramas! Some of the stories get pretty sad and touching! 4/5
Food Fight 2000 夏 - I don't like Kusanagi.T but he does food battles, so that's always fun. Besides, Yoko gets to be one of his contestants and you get to see Scar-Faced-Yokoyama-Yu!! This is a reason why I think Yoko can do better than characters like Yukan and Haikei. 4/5
Forbidden Love/Witch's Requirement (魔女の条件) 1999 春 - This was like, the epic Takki drama. I get pretty irritated with Takki's mom and how persistent she is. 3/5
Eating Detective 1 (喰いタン1) 2006 冬 - Funny, enjoyable, but not all too suspenseful. =( 4/5
Gachi Baka! (ガチバカ!) 2006 冬 - Again, I don't know why I watched this. It was like a lame version of GTO/Gokusen. And I hate that. But it had Tegomasu in it so why not? 1/5
Gal Circle (ギャルサー) 2006 春 - I watched this because my brother likes Toda Erika. This was funny.. but that was it. I liked the Para-Para stuff they did. XD And I learned a bit about the life of Shibuya-Gals. I love their language. XD KY? 3.5/5
Galileo (ガリレオ) 2007 秋 - Interesting and fresh, Fukukyama Masaharu and Shibasaki Kou work together to solve difficult mysteries. Kitamura Kazuki made short appearances too! 4/5
Give It All (がんばっていきまっしょい) 2005 夏 - RYOUCHI DRAMA!! But right, this is when Uchi was suspended so only 2 episodes of Uchi and the rest were Taguchi. T_T Overall, it was a good drama, I still secretly pretend that Uchi is in there all the way instead of Taguchi. =P 4/5
God, please give me more time (神様、もう少しだけ) 1998 夏 - I cried so badly for this drama!! All the hardships Kyoko went through to be with Kaneshiro Takeshi. It probably doesn't make me cry anymore since I watched that when I was like... 9yrs-old. 4/5
Gokusen 1, 2, 3 (ごくせん) 2002 春, 2005 冬, 2008 春 - The first one was superb, but the stories got too similar as they made more and more sequels to it. 1: 5/5, 2: 2.5/5, 3: 3/5
Good Luck!! 2003 冬 - See, this is why I need to make a list. I seriously don't remember too much about this drama. I just remember one scene, and that's where Kimutaku and Shibasaki Kou drink at a bar? Wait, did that happen? Well, I know for sure there was a scene where she is on the plane, and being a plane mechanical technician chick, she's got to help fix the reason why the lights went out/low, despite her phobia. 3.5/5
Great Teacher Onizuka 1998 夏 - Sorimachi Takashi FTW! Come on people, this is like the epic high school drama EVAR! EVERYONE knows it. He's so super. And the student cast is pretty awesome IMO. Bullied-chibi-Shun is like WOW! And there's also Kakkoi-smartass-Kubozuka. So seriously, I want to re-watch it again now. 5/5 ++++++
H2 2005 冬 - I totally watched this during my baseball phase. which was like 3 weeks ago (july08), so I'd be biased and say it's wicked. But truly, it's rather boring. I love Yamada and all, but.. ugh. I really disliked Satomi in here. And this was probably where I started to like Ichikawa Yui more. But because Yamada's pitching skills are kind of wicked and the baseball storyline is somewhat better than other dramas, I like it. 3.5/5
HanaKimi (花ざかりの君たちへ) 2007 夏 - I personally liked the JP version a bit more than the TW, just because it was a little more realistic than the TW one. Both are equally cracktastic for me though. 4.5/5
Hana Yori Dango 1&2 (花より男子) 2005 秋 / 2007 冬 - So they finally had a Jversion of it! And it totally rocks socks! I totally crush on Hanazawa Rui like crazy. ohhh Shun <3 First: 4.5/5, Sequel: 5/5
Haru to Natsu 2005 秋 - Yay for historical dramas! One where Tsubasa gets to speak Portugese too! XD 3.5/5
He who Can't Get Married (結婚できない男) 2006 夏 - Kuninaka Ryoko and Tsukamoto Takashi are kind of cute together. :P Anyways, I laugh at Abe Hiroshi in here <3 4/5
HERO 2001 冬 - Don't remember too much, but Kimutaku was funny. 4/5
High School Teacher (高校教師 2003) 2003 冬 - Umm....... stupid. It took me forever to finish it. I think I like didn't watch the last 5 minutes of this for like a year. I don't remmeber much because my memory sucks but basically Ueto Aya is a JK and Fujiki Naohito is.. IDK, someone about to die within a year, and they fall in love with Aya thinking SHE'S the one dying, in which Naohito was lying and.. just really really wtf. 2/5
House of Devil (鬼の棲家) 1999 冬 - I totally watched this for Kelly Chan. Kelly works as an illegal foreign worker at an inn that Kyoko's aunt owns. People at the inn hate on Kyoko. It's interesting. 3.5/5
I hate Xmas (Xmasなんて大嫌い) 2004 秋 - Something about Kyoko hating Christmas. I think they all work near a beach, so that's always fun! Plus she has the cutest nail patterns! 3/5
IWGP ( 池袋ウエストゲートパーク) 2000 春 -Nagase Tomoya is always kind of awesome. All the tension and action in the drama makes all very fascinating. Kubozuka Yosuke never fails me :P 5/5
Imagine 2000 冬 -Fukada lives with her mom, and a bunch of romance things happen when she falls in love with the new guy at work. Oh and her mom also falls in love with this old dude too. Basically, Fukada needs to learn to be more independent. 2/5
It was Sudden, Like a Storm (それは、突然、嵐のように…) 2004 冬 - Ok, I don't even remember the name correctly, I usually just call it the Sore wa.... pi-drama. Yeah, I watched it for Pi when I was super bored this one long ago day, and I wish I didn't. Something about him dancing and... it's all about forbidden love and adultery? ROFL. At least when Esumi and Pi went to promote the drama on Gakkou E Ikou, it was hilarious. They got to play that Rhythm game. ITS SO FUN!! I MISS IT! 1.5/5
Journey Under a Midnight Sun (白夜行) 2006 冬 - This drama was too dark for the likes of me, but it was good. Yamada Takayuki and Ayase Haruka are good acting people. I also give credit to Fukuda Mayuko for being awesome at such a young age. 3.5/5
Just One Love (たったひとつの恋) 2006 秋 - Erm.. too slow. The story moved too slow. Kame looked nice in there thoug. :P I think this was when Kame started to climb his way up my KAT-TUN list. 3/5
Kabachitare! 2001 冬 - I wish dramas nowadays can use the humour back then instead of the crack they use now. (We also get to see Chibi-Pi's butt!) 4/5
Kanojo to no Tadashii Asobikata (彼女との正しい遊び方) 2007 春 - Why am I such a shallow person and watch things for the shiny? Ok, well surprisingly, I don't hate Kurokawa Tomoka as much in here! (surprise surprise), but basically not a very interesting drama, but its ok for a tanpatsu. 3/5
La Periode Bleue (青の時代) 1998 夏 - Tsuyoshi is a teen and basically grew up by himself. He was abandoned by his mom and one day, people suspect him of hurting the owner of a pachinko/arcade place. A lawyer tries to defend him (but you later find out the lawyer is pretty messed in the brains himself). Tsuyoshi also falls in love with the girl at the library, Okina Megumi, who happens to be the lawyer dude's fiance's sister. 5/5
Last Friends (ラスト・フレンズ) 2008 春 - I had problems liking this because of the story and the way the crew filmed it. It just could have been way better IMHO. I love the actors though. Juri, Eita, Ryo, Masami, and Asami all did such a wonderful job! There were many memorable scenes too and I especially love it when Takeru walks up to Ruka and hugs her after he read her letter. I just wished they had better closure. They didn't even find a solution for Eita's situation, and Juri's wasn't very well explained either, Ryo's was just suddenly cut off and no offence, Masami's solution didn't seem much like a solution to me.. ( '_ ') 3.5/5
Liar Game (ライアーゲーム) 2007 春 - It was interesting at first but it eventually lost me. Toda Erika was especially irritating in here. 3.5/5
LIPSTICK (リップスティック) 1999 春 - Hirosue Ryoko gets put in a correction facility for juveniles. She befriends her roomies there and they all have their own story. Don't really remember Ryoko's story much, but I remember Ikewaki Chizuru's story. Her mom is always drunk and her mother's boyfriend sexual abuses her. That's why she's pregnant, but nobody knows until she faints in the middle of the day with blood... down there! Anyways I totally watched this for Kubozuka Yosuke. 4/5
Long Love Letter 2002 冬 - I love on the manga so much more, but hey, it's very well done for a Hyouryuu Kyoushitsu-adapted drama. 4.5/5
Long Vacation 1996 春 - Wow, why did I watch a Kimutaku show? Anyways, this one goes somewhere along the lines of piano. and him liking his former roomie's "fiance". The roomie ditched the fiance the day of the wedding so she moves in with Kimutaku. La la la la~~~~~~ 4/5
Love Generation 1997 秋 - Heh, this is surprisingly one of my more favourite Kimutaku dramas. Him and Matsu Takako are so funny together here. I love their bickering. And I totally love on their apple commercials here. Damn that glass apple is pretty. It's frightening that I still remember so many things from this drama even though it's been SO long since I first watched it. 5/5
Love Shuffle 2009 冬 - I generally watch this for the fact that the cast seems awesome since its like.. Karina, Matsuda Shota, Kanjiya Shiori and that dude that I have forgotten his name atm. But it also has DAIGO, and I'm like.. dude DAIGO can act ?o_O? he's so cute in here. The tempo is rather slow in some cases but basically them being habituated in their relationships and decide to do this experiment where they each week switch dating partners to ignite that burning passion again. I think the most interesting part would be with Matsuda Shota and this suicidal chick's case. He's so awesome I love his cry scenes it's so emo! 3.9/5
Lunch Queen (ランチの女王) 2002 夏 -Hilarious! Man, Takeuchi Yuko FTW! She is so wicked in here. They have Joy To the World (Three Dog Night) as the ending theme, and that just pwned my soul ATM because our junior high drama class was doing a musical with that song. IT WAS SO CATCHY. I EVEN REMEMBER THE DANCING ACTION! 5/5
Marathon 2007 秋 - I had no idea this was a remake of a Korean movie in 2005, but it was really good. I generally don't like Tanpatsu dramas unless they've got a good closure. 3.5/5
Masked Rider Hibiki 2005 - WHY IS THERE NO DRAMAWIKI PAGE FOR IT? ARGHHHHHH! Anyways, I didn't really like Hibiki that much for a Kamen Rider series. It was just too odd. Some of the transformations were cool though. But I get to see Nakamura Yuichi(D-Boys) in it!! 2.5/5
Masked Rider Kabuto (仮面ライダーカブト) 2006 - People, Kabuto is rather pretty cool! Well.. the Rider parts need improvement, but everything else is rather interesting. I especially love Yamamoto Yusuke's role. He totally cracks me up! 4/5
Mei-chan's Butler (メイちゃんの執事) 2009 冬 - I think many will get this slightly confused with HanaKimi just because their trailer pictures pretty much look identical. Tonnes of boycandy and in the middle is the main female lead who has short hair/boyish hair. But I'd say they are completely different in terms of storyline. Mei is this average girl whose parents ownthis soba shop and they make that for a living. and then they die and she gets stuck in this prestigious JUST FOR RICH PEOPLE ONLY high school in which each girl comes with their own butler. Mei gets Rihito and yeah. Basically lots of rivalry things and unrequitted love. SO AWESOME. Well it was ok. but I totally think Sato Takeru is such a cutie. I love that in this drama, he is Mizushima Hiro's brother. XD But yeah. pretty much just for the eyecandy. It's not as hilarious as it can be, but there are fun moments. And there are touching moments if you get weak in the heart easily. I would be like aww at some parts, but it's nothing of Changeling material, so I never cry. 3.5/5
Miman City (ぼくらの勇気 ~未満都市~) 1997 秋 - Tsuyoshi sneaks into a city that was said to have suffered from a deathly earthquake(?), he tries to give help but when he arrives, he realizes that it was all just lies. For some mysterious reason, all the adults that have been "infected" die, leaving the children of the city to survive by themselves. Dun dun! I miss Kohara Yuki so much!! 5/5
Minami's Girlfriend (南くんの恋人) 2004 夏 - ROFL THIS DRAMA IS HILARIOUS. Just reading the summary is wtf enough already. Because, miniature Kyoko is like.. o_O? what!? 2.5/5
My Boss, My Hero (マイ★ボス マイ★ヒーロー) 2006 夏 - I never saw the Korean versions but I thought it was very well done of the Japanese! Good job JE boys! I really liked this drama. Too full of crack <3 5/5
My Ex (元カレ) 2003 夏 -IDK, Tsuyo was a very nerdy salaryman here, and he goes out with Uchiyama Rina whom I think is an elavator girl. But his ex = Hirosue Ryoko and I think she is his new manager. So woooo! Ain't that swell? 3.5/5
My Life After Her Death (彼女が死んじゃった) 2004 冬 - This was boring. Nagase Tomoya hooks up with Kimura Yoshino one night. They have a similar personality and it might spark into a relationship, but Yoshino soon kills herself. Fukada Kyoko wants to know the truth behind her sisters death and everyone gets together and solve! 2/5
Neverland 2001 夏 - Wow @ this JE drama. It's so messed up. Ken's story was rather shocking though... ugh. 2.5/5
Night King (夜王) 2006 冬 - Matsuouka Masahiro is super awesome. I totally love on his acting, and I heart this drama! His nemesis in the host club also happens to be Kitamura Kazuki, and he's one of the few mature men I crush on. 5/5
Nobuta wo Produce (野ブタ。をプロデュース) 2005 秋 - This should be extremely popular. I liked it lots! Pi was quite awesome in here. 5/5
Nodame Cantabile (のだめカンタービレ) 2006 秋 - 樹里はマジで可愛い!Eita is so awesome in here. The drama is so cracktastic! 5/5
Number One 2001 秋 - This was a one-episode long drama. Something about Kubozuka Yosuke being a delivery truck dude and then he needs to make more money, thus he starts to work at a host club, and his nemesis? or.. the number 1 host at the club ATM was Sorimachi Takashi? Basically they just try to outdo each other in terms of being a host. (Yosuke is bald and looking good, as a host!) 3.5/5
Nurse Aoi (Ns'あおい) 2006 冬 - Honestly, this was one of the not so awesome medical dramas that I've seen. 2.5/5
Oniyome Diary (鬼嫁日記) 2005 秋 - Mizuki Arisa and Gori were kind of ROFLMAO in here, but hey, at least Teppei was... cute? This is a very funny drama. But that's just it. Funny. 3/5
Orange Days 2004 春 - I love on everything in this drama. The songs, the characters, the scenes, the story.. ARGH EVERYTHINGGGG. Tsumabuki and Shibasaki are so cute together. Seriously, the cast is kinda awesome :) 5/5
Osen (おせん) 2008 春 - THIS SPELLS UCHI! AND FOOD! MY MOST LOVED THINGS IN THE WORLD! 5/5
Over Time 1999 冬 - I love on this so much! Sorimachi Takashi FTW! This was also when I started to love buriguri thanks to their opening theme song <3 Anyways, it's kind of like an older-woman-younger-man relationship between them, and lots of things happen in between. 5/5
Puzzle (パズル) 2007 冬 - A really short drama, where a bunch of kids are stuck at school because these "terrorist" are holding them hostage. They have to solve a puzzle (like seriously those picture puzzle pieces) of around 2000 pieces that's scattered all around the school within like a day or two. (It has Nakamura Yuichi and Yamamoto Yusuke!!! ^_^) 3/5
Puzzle (パズル) 2008 春 - Satomi doesn't look right to be a teacher, too young? They look like they're around the same age... But she was very perky. I didn't like the mysteries in here for they weren't very mysterious. but the crack was good. 3.5/5
Proposal Daisakusen (プロポーズ大作戦) 2007 春 - Another disappointing Pi-drama. 3/5
P.S. I'm fine, Shunpei (P.S.元気です、俊平) 1999 夏 - PEOPLE! NERDY YOKO IS SO MUCH WIN! 8D 3.5/5
PGSM (美少女戦士セーラームーン) 2003 - DUDE ITS SAILOR MOON LIVE ACTION! HOW WICKED!! Their karaoke room is super wicked. I totally thought that's what Japanese karaoke rooms looked like. super wicked. (is it like that or is that just... made up?) Anyways, some of the scouts are really pretty and I totally crush on Shibue Joji, aka Tuxedo Mask (he's also Shun's friends in Binbo Danshi!!!!!!!) 3.5/5
Regatta (レガッタ) 2006 夏 - This was boring after awhile. But again, Moko is fun to stare at. =p and I like the theme song a lot. *loves Kobukuro* 1.5/5
RH Plus 2008 冬 - Gay Vampires!! Enough said! 3.5/5
ROOKIES (ルーキーズ) 2008 春 - Would have been funner if they had more baseball things in it. :P 3/5
Ryusei no Kizuna (流星の絆) 2008 秋 - After watching the previews and trailers and cms and reading the plot, I seriously thought this drama was like super duper emo and all, but..... they manage to slip some humour and crack in it. This was absolutely out of what I had imagined and definitely won my attention for a tiny bit. The AWESOME crack didn't prolong as long as I wanted, but I still thought that throughout, it was pretty cracktastic. The random appearances of Nakashima Mika is definitely for win, and her theme song ORION, is definitely much love. I dont' know which one I love more, Prisoner of Love (Utada) or this? I haven't seen Ryo act like this for a long time. Actually ever. I can't really count Buu as part of Taisuke because Buu was not as opened as Tai, I'm rather impressed by Ryo's work this time around. I mean I appreciate his emo DV side in LF, but right after that, I thought this is an even higher step. I definitely see him surpassing Nino, no offence, still love you for your doofy ways ni-chan! 4/5
Sea Side Love (砂の上の恋人たち) 1999 秋 - This was basically the drama where I first started to listen to ACO. Yorokobi ni saku hana is a really good song (imo). Anyways, I had no idea it was Kanno Miho that was Nagase Tomoya's girlfriend! It's THAT long ago that I don't remember the people except for Tomoya! Basically the main girl accidentally causes the death of Kanno and her and Tomoya later fall in love, but the whole case of falling in love was too WTF for them and they can't handle it so they're both in denial. It gets confusing. 3/5
Seigi no Mikata (正 義の味方) 2008 夏 - I love on this drama so much! It personally doesn't outbeat Tantei in my heart, but this is like my favourite drama in the 08 Summer season. Possibly even the spring ones too! Yamada Yu and Shida Mirai are both wonderful actresses with amazing facial expressions. I originally thought the plot was kinda lame and stuff but due to everyone around me loving it and loving Hongo Kanata, I gave into pure pressure and watched it! It's incredibly hilarious! I definitely ship Kanarai in here. They're so adorable together. Shida is so impressive. She's improving so much each time I see her in a drama! She's got sooo much potential! 4.5/5
Sexy Voice and Robo (セクシーボイスアンドロボ) 2007 春 - Matsuyama Kenichi is very gay in here <3 And Ohgo Suzuka is very likable. This is very funny and weird at times. Shame that Ep 7 never got to air. 4.5/5
Shibatora (シバトラ ) 2008 夏 - A drama about this policeman (Teppei) looking TOO young to be anything BUT a high schooler, thus his boss keeps making him go undercover. Teppei meets Ohgo Suzuka (I love on her so much! For those unsure who she is, she's chibi!Sayuri in Memoirs of a Geisha, and also the lead girl in Sexy Voice and Robo.) Teppei has this weird thing where he can see these "Death Reaper"s hands over a target who might die within the next 24 hours, and he just keeps saving these people and solving mysteries while undercover. What he doesn't know is that it's really just a big thing and dun dun! who is the real supervillain?? 3.8/5
Shimokita Sundays (下北サンデーズ ) 2006 夏 - I didn't finish this because it was THAT horrible. 0/5
Song of the Sun (タイヨウのうた) 2006 夏 - Drama of the film(Tsukamoto Takashi/YUI!), uhh this was the first time I didn't like the drama compared to the movie. I usually like drama > movie. I guess Erika kind of killed my love for this story. She seemed to superficial to be Amane Kaoru, no offence. YUI FTW! 2/5
SP (Security Police) 2007 秋 - Okada is so hot. I love the action in this drama. In some of the cases, it's very suspenseful too. 5/5
STAND UP!! 2003 夏 - I personally think that Narimiya Hiroki and Shun made this drama a lot more fun. 3.5/5
Strawberry on the Shortcake 2001 冬 - Stupid. But hey, at least it was fun staring at playboy-Kubozuka! XD I just remembered that some fucker chick still has my copy of SOS. I lent it to her when I was in grade 8/9 that was like in '02-'03. It's been five years bitch woman. Do you not know how to return things? 1.5/5
Summer Snow 2000 夏 - This was really sad. I cried at the end.Hirosue Ryoko and Tsuyo are great. I think Oguri Shun as the deaf boy is very well done too. 5/5
Suppli (サプリ) 2006 夏 - Funny at parts, but also huge disappointment too. I was surprised Kame can act like that! Not superb, but well done. Could have been better. I want to pinch Shida's cheeks. 3/5
Team Medical Dragon 1&2 (医龍) 2006 春 - Medical drama FTW!!! This was good. The things they did were so wicked. I wished they focussed even MORE on medical stuff than how to run the hospital though. Kitamura Kazuki is really hot in here as the main guy's nemesis. First: 4.5/5, Sequel: 4/5
Teresa Teng Monogatari 2007 夏 - A tanpatsu drama about the life of Teresa Teng <3 4/5
The Black Swindler (クロサギ) 2006 春 - What's wrong with Pi! Well, this drama was a huge let down. I liked Pimaki's cry scenes though. Those were beauty. 3.5/5
The City of Pure souls (天使が消えた街) 2000 春 - Domoto Koichi and Fujii Fumiya-san are brothers. Fumiya-san is autistic and things just happen. It's touching SOMETIMES, but I didn't think it was all that interesting. No offence Koichi. 3/5
The Files of Young Kindaichi 1,2,3, SP (金田一少年の事件簿) 1995 夏, 1996 夏, 2001 夏, 2005 秋 - I love on Kindaichi. But I love the first 2 series more, just because Tsuyoshi will always be the one and only Kindaichi out there. Also, Kame's SP was rather lame. I don't know why, but it was extremely easy to figure out who the murderer is and how they planned it all out. 1: 5/5, 2: 5/5, 3: 4/5, SP: 3/5
The Negotiator (交渉人) 2008 冬 - I just like the kind of dramas that revolve around this occupation. :P It's pretty awesome and Shirota Yu did an amazing job. 4.5/5
The Secret Garden (ヒミツの花園) 2007 冬 - Hongo is so cute!! Why don't people like this drama? It's full of awesome, though lame at times, it's still very enjoyable! Yamamoto Yusuke's random appearances are kind of lol too! 5/5
The Son-in-Law 2003 (ムコ殿2003) - Tomoya gets to be a superidol- Sakuraba Yuichiro, he's all cool and hot and such a hunk, but his real personality is just a big otaku. Another big secret is he falls in love with this OL thats older than him, Noriko Sakai. They get married and he lives with her and her family which are a bunch of awesome wacky people!! :D 4/5
The Queen's Classroom (女王の教室) 2005 夏 - This drama is so super in all kinds of ways. Shida Mirai gets a pretty damned big role in here. The teacher (Amami Yuki) is super ultrarealist and she does anything to help the kids grow, including being super bitchy to them when they're only in 6th grade. I cried like crazy in here and that's not easy for cold-hearted me. 5/5 ++
To Heart (恋して死にたい) 1999 夏 - Kyoko was cute in here, and I heart Tsuyo. Oh I totally crave for crepes from watching it. Japanese crepes are so much fun! I envy Kyoko's character like crazy! I also like that cell phone string she has. The one where it tells a fortune. XD 4/5
To The One I Love (愛し君へ) 2004 春 -I don't know if I finished this or not, but basically Fujiki Naohito will lose his sight in like 3 months, but he falls in love with Kanno Miho. 3/5
Tokyo Friends (東京フレンズ) 2005 夏 - I didn't watch this until the summer of 2007. It didn't interest me at all so yeah... I only watched it because I was still jetlagging in Hong Kong, and that summer I had to sleep in the living room, so I basically watch stuff till whenever. Tokyo Friends happened to be playing after midnight on my azn tv so that's how I watched it. But hey, Eita was hot. ;) 3/5
Train Man (電車男) 2005 夏 - Drama version of the film. Srsly people, this is a hilarious drama! I'd definitely rewatch this!! 5/5
Unfair (アンフェア) 2006 冬 - I love on this drama so much, if not for Eita but also for the plot, for Shinohara Ryoko, for... ITS JUST SO AWESOME. Miura Haruma is the dead boy she kills "5 years ago". Just in case people want to know. XD 5/5
Unfit Human (人間・失格) 1994 夏 - I get a bit confused with some of these old Kinki Kids dramas. They're just so similar, and has almost the same actors that I can't remember which drama is which. This one should be the super dark one where I cry like crazy. Tsuyoshi gets bullied in school and Koichi, though befriends him is sort of the mastermind behind the bullying gang. He doesn't intentionally tell his gang to bully Tsuyoshi though, but uh after awhile, Tsuyoshi falls off the school roof. Koichi tried to save him but Tsuyoshi didn't grab on to his hand. And during this time, the photography? teacher is actually super psycho and uh yeah. Koichi is also a rich boy that gets neglected by his parents so he's kind of messed in the brain too, therefore explaining his bullying mastermind plan. Tsuyoshi's dad realizes that he was bullied, and decides to take revenge for his dead son! dun dun dun! Pretty damn good (and emo), if you ask me. 5/5
Voice 2009 冬 - Ok, this was surprisingly well done. I love it for the fact already that it's a forensic drama, but obviously for Eita-love and also Toma-love! I didn't really think Ishihara Satomi would do well in here because she generally irritated me in her other recent works, but she was much loved in here as well as the other casts! It was rather touching in each episode and I love the fact that they never added too much and never implied too much and also didn't end with too much romance involved. I know it would have been cute to see them together, but the fact they didn't makes me feel that this feels more realistic and not ended in a lame and cheesy way like all other dramas nowadays. 5/5
Water Boys 1&2 2003 夏 / 2004 夏- Yay for water synchronizing!! I love watching this during the summer time. I wish I knew how to swim! I don't think I watched the final SP though... Movie: 4/5, 1: 5/5, 2: 4/5
Wipe Your Tears (涙をふいて) 2000 秋- Ueto Aya is so tiny here! And Kamiki Ryunosuke get to pea his pants! It's so adorable! I love that they all live under one roof with a stranger. Eguchi Yosuke is wicked 8D 3/5
Yukan Club (有閑倶楽部) 2007 秋 - I actually don't like Yukan much. But I wanted to see Mike in it. XD Oh the joy of it! 3.5/5
Yuuki 2006 夏- This was the 24 hr tv drama in 2006. Starring Kame. It was sad. And emo. But good. 4/5
