Dekichatta Kekkon [できちゃった結婚] Rating: 8/10 (Bought & Watched) This is a very fun drama. The pairing of Ryoko Hirosue and Yutaka Takenouchi is rather refreshing. If you want to spend the summer watching a lighthearted drama, this is a must-see. | Densha Otoko [電車男] Rating: 8/10 (Bought & Watched) It's a very interesting plot and I think the guy character did a great job portraying an otaku. | Dragon Zakura [ドラゴン桜] (Bought) |
Engine [エンジン] Rating: 9/10 (Bought & Watched) What can I say? I love KimuTaku dramas! He's just so kakkoii! He's a great actor, but honestly, his acting hasn't improved since I watched him last in Love Generation... his style of acting is so distintly Kimura that you can't help but think that he's not indulged in his character enough. But I still like watching him. Also, the children in Engine are super kawaii ne~ Yuto and Daiki from J.J.Express are in there, so if you like Johnny Jr., then you must check this drama out. This is simply a delightfully heart-warming story na! | Fukigen na Jiin [不機嫌なジーン] (Bought) | Gakkou no sensei [ガッコの先生] Rating: 8/10 (Bought & Watched) Actually, this drama is a bit blend for me in the beginning few episodes, but the plot starts getting more edgy as the serires progresses. This drama clearly has Tsuyoshi written all over it. So if you're a fan of his dramas (Summer Snow, Moto Kare, etc.), watch this! |
Ganbatte Ikimasshoi [がんばっていきまっしょい] Rating: 9/10 (Bought & Watched) I watched it for Ryo and Anne. This is a great, inspiring drama. It made me tear up a few times. | Gokusen [ごくせん] Rating: 10/10 (Bought & Watched) I actually watched season 2 of Gokusen first. And as much as I idolize Akame, I think Jun is a much better actor. His coolness is seriously attractive in the drama! AHH!!! This has a much more realistic storyline and a lot more humorous than season 2. This can compare to GTO! This rocks! | Gokusen Season 2 [ごくせん2] Rating: 8/10 (Bought & Watched) Heh Heh... this is a dramatically exaggerated story that mimics the style of the manga. The dramatization is actually very funny. So watch it if you're looking for a good laugh at Kumiko's silliness. Beware, for after you watch this drama, you will become addicted to Akame~ [drools] |
GTO [麻辣教師] Rating: 10/10 Highly entertaining na~ Before there were Naomi and Gokusen, this was IT! It's still IT. Heh, I think this is the king of all teacher of hs student drama! It's just so touching, and Onizuka Sensei is so kakkoii! | Hana Yori Dango [花より男子] Rating: 9/10 (Bought & Watched) It's a great show with hilarious character development and encouraging plot line... the fact that all the characters are so perfectly good-looking is a bonus! | Hana Yori Dango Season 2 [花より男子] (Watched) |
Hero (Bought) | Hitotsu yane no shita 1 [ひとつ屋根の下 1] Rating: 10/10 (Bought & Watched) How could you not want to watch this drama? The love between the brothers and sister is so touching, not to mention the plot is so unpredictable. The light humor from Tatsuya's foolish lectures is so entertaining. ANNDD... Sakai Noriko and Fukuyama Masaharu are in this series! | Hitotsu yane no shita Season 2 [ひとつ屋根の下 2] Rating: 10/10 (Bought & Watched) I thought the first one was good, but wait until you watch this sequel! The plot is a lot more dramatic and unpredictable! It's such a sweet drama. I highly recommend this! |
Ichi Ritoru no Namida [1リットルの涙] (Bought) | Itazura na Kiss [イタズラなKiss] Rating: 8/10 (Bought & Watched) It's a very cute high school story adapted from a manga. So naturally, the portrayal of the characters are highly exaggerated (but it's funny of course)! It's about Kotoko's obsession with the all-around-best Irie-kun. Haha! Brace yourself for Kotoko's loud "NYAA" here and there if you do watch this series. | Jyoou no Kyoushitsu [女王の教室] (Bought) |

Kindaichi shonen no Jikenbo (2005) [金田一少年の事件簿] (Bought) | Koishite Shinitai [恋して死にたい] Rating: 3/10 (Watched) Eh... didn't entertain me. The plot bored me and there was no incentive for me to continue watching since I'm not really a fan of kyoko and tsuyoshi... | Koori no sekai [冰の世界] (Bought) |
Kou Kou Kyoushi 2003 [高校教師 2003] Rating: 8/10 (Bought & Watched) This is extremely melodramatic and the story line seems to drag on, but it's entertaining enough. Oh... and the ending is so ambiguous, I still have a hard time figuring out whether it's a happy or sad ending. Ueto Aya and Sonim are so pretty in this drama. :P | Love generation [ラブジェネレーション] (Bought) | Majo no jouken [魔女の条件] Rating: 9/10 (Bought & Watched) Mmm... this is a Takki drama! : ) Well besides having him star in this, this drama has a scandalous plot, so it's very refreshing and different. |
Minami kun no koibito [南くんの恋人] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) Wow... I remember watching this when I was really really young. From what I can recall, I was intrigued by the idea of having a Barbie-sized character living with her crush. One of the episodes was really sad and made me cry... so that's all I can tell you since I don't really remember it. | Moto Kare [元カレ] Rating: 8/10 (Bought & Watched) I didn't like this drama in the beginning because the whole idea about white-collar workers (the story does surround the work area) doesn't intrigue me very much. But in the end, the drama is unpredictable enough to keep me wondering what's going to happen next. | Mukodono 2003 [ムコ殿2003] (Bought) |

Orange Days [オレンジデイズ] (Bought) | Oyaji~ [オヤジぃ] (Bought) | Pride [プライド] Rating: 10/10 (Bought & Watched) Gosh darn it! I love the characters KimuTaku and Takeuchi portrayed. The pairing of Kimura/Takeuchi is just perfect ne~ This drama made me fall in love with hockey. This is a must-see drama if you love Kimura's style of acting. |

Slow Dance [スローダンス] (Bought) | Sora Kara Furu Ichioku no Hoshi [空から降る一億の星] (Bought) | Stand UP!! Rating: 10/10 (Bought & Watched) This has such a unique plot. Everything from its theme song, its actors, silly humor, and touching storyline just made me fall absolutely in love! |

Tiger & Dragon [タイガー&ドラゴン] (Bought) | Water Boys [ウォーターボーイズ] (Bought) | With love Rating: 7/10 (Watched) I watched several years ago. So from what I can remember, this is an interesting drama about two strangers who fall in love through email. It's a one-of-a-kind plot, so it's worth watching. |
