I've recently been getting back into Jdramas, what are some good ones from recent years? I want adult dramas, no teens, high school, children, etc. Also, no depressing ones about illness or dark/horror dramas. Female centered would be great. This is part of what I loved about Doctor X, yet it seems to be rare in Asian dramas sadly.

Offbeat/quirky: Suteki na Sen Taxi, Quartet, Mahoro Ekimae Bangaichi, Fuben na Benriya

Rom-com: Saigo Kara Nibanme no Koi

Food: Tenno no Ryoriban, Shinya Shokudo series

Fantasy: Seirei no Moribito

Cats: Neko Zamurai

There have been quite a few excellent crime procedurals such as Cold Case, BORDER and Kageri Yuku Natsu, but they are all pretty dark.

I gave Quartet a try and am loving it. It's everything I missed about Jdramas.

So great to see Matsu Takako again! Long Vacation, Love Generation, Itsumo Futari De... all absolute classics.

So glad you're enjoying Quartet! Matsu Takako was excellent there.

Hi y'all! I'm looking for more dramas similar to "Tsubaki Bunguten"...I totally liked this, it reminded me of two of my favorite manga ("Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou" and "Aqua/Aria")...deep, relaxing, full of "mono no aware"! Any suggestions? Many thanks in advance! Victory! Peace!

I need a calm drama to watch. Suggestions please. Not a romance or tragic romance.

Have you tried Yutaka's Suteki na Sen Taxi? It's quite funny.

Been awhile since i frequent the forums, life happens and got busy.

Anyway, started watching Dai Renai and it made me crave for more of the same.
Do you have any love story dramas to recommend - ones that have been released in the last 5 years or so?
Thanks

It's from more than 5 years ago, but Beautiful Life (2000) might be what you're looking for.
