Best Jdrama
Posted: Mon Mar 03, 2008 6:25 am
There isn't a Jdrama thread on this forum despite the insane popularity of anime. I've been getting more and more into Japanese dramas, many of which are adaptations of anime or manga anyways, so here's a list of my favorites to guide those curious in the art:
1) Nodame Contabile... my current favorite! I just finished it today and it inspired me to share this precious bit of knowledge in a post. If you love music you will love this drama. The casting is superb and the comedy is spot on. Some interesting special effects to portray anime style comedic violence in live action.
2) Densha Otoko... cause I'm a nerd and like to watch shows with nerd protagonists
3) Great Teacher Onizuka (GTO)... a porn addicted punk becomes a teacher and beats sense into other punks. classic. Gokusen is the same thing except with a female yakuza as a teacher. They both have the exact same plot so if you watch one, it will be painful to try and watch the other (but definitely watch one or the other).
4) Hana Yori Dango (1 & 2)... romantic comedy
5) Long Vacation... romantic comedy
6) Proposal Daisakusen... romantic comedy
7) Hanazakari no Kimitachi e... romantic comedy (OK, I got lazy with the descriptions. It's late.)
I recommend d-addict for your Jdrama (or Kdrama and Cdrama) needs.
Please post any recommendations you have, since I'm always looking for something good.
