J-dramas for dummies/starters :D

in here u can post any of the following:
1.) the jdrama that made u want to watch other jdramas.
2.) the best jdramas u watched
3.) jdramas u can't forget about (could be in a negative way or a positive way)
4.) jdramas u would recommend for "newbies" out there who just don't know where to start hahah
5.) jdramas you just want to mention

okay so i'll start

Hana Yori Dango
---simply a timeless classic for me. well some people say that it's somehow overrated with all the other versions and all but for me, the japanese version is simply the best, with the chemistry of the lead cast (mao inoue and matsumoto jun) and the portrayal of the other casts for their role is just amazing and the ending of it is the BEST ending for a drama like that try watching it. its just so good hahah this jdrama is the reason why i'm watching jdramas til now ;D

Gokusen 1, 2 and 3
---i'll start this with a positive comment with the lessons that yankumi brings with hot guys are the reasons why i watched this dorama hahah but seriously speaking the lessons that Yankumi brings are really good the only problem with this drama is the redundancy and the super pattern where student gets into trouble and teacher saves them is just so so but overall its a good drama but i will deeply recommend not to marathon this one cos u'll easily get bored hahaha

Hanazakari no Kimitachi e
--- a good drama with all the craziness and all with a touch of romance and friendship in this drama i simply loved Nakatsu Shuichi played by Toma Ikuta he really made me enjoy watching the series and for me he's the life of this series he didn;y just made me cry he also made me laugh and also the dorm members are really good and funny hahah try watching this

1 litre of Tears
---a GREAT drama. It's a tear-jerking drama that'll surely make you appreciate life more, that'll surely make you rethink about your life/your reason for living and that'll surely make you cry one litre of tears. No words can express how great this drama is. You would think I'm exaggerating a bit but try watching it and u'll know what am saying is true if you did not cry you don't have a heart. This drama came from a novel and is a TRUE TO LIFE story

First Kiss
---a good drama its genre is more about family and romance, with mao inoue on the cast with a lot of other good actors with her, its a good drama that'll inspire you with a mix of comedy and "kilig"

Nobuta wo Produce
--- wooo. good casting! Kamenashi Kazuya, Yamashita Tomohisa and Maki Horikita are just extraordinary. Their chemistry on-cam are so so good. This drama is more of a friendship drama than a romance drama. Somehow I found this drama cute maybe, and i really don't know why but this drama is not boring and is really worth the watch. But, I really don't like the ending though but wth! it's good.

My Boss My hero
--- a good drama while relaxing and eating merienda. a REALLY REALLY funny drama with the priceless facial expression of the lead actor This drama is more of a friendship drma with a touch of romance. In this drama you would rethink about your reason for going to school and realize the important things around you


-i edited it already but unfortunately i got tired of typing again so i'll edit this some other time again.

QUESTION
---will it help if i put pictures of the drama?

from what i understood on your thread its about latest news about NEW asian dramas but mine is purely jdrama only. and also my thread is more like recommendations for those who are having a hard time looking for jdramas to watch so i think our threads are different. as my subject goes "j-drama for dummies/starters"

oh im sorry, the thread that i made was intended for all asian dramas either be new or what you dramas you like... japanese included...
but i guess its okay. readers may be confused if all was put into one thread... ill just change its title

wooohoho. i found it! XD

try in aznv.tv

but i have to remind you, you need winamp to play the videos there but its really fast and easy to download and install so that's not that big of a problem.

and also you need to register for that site to watch the videos, you will need a code from old members to register.

i'm an old member and i know how to send the code but the problem is some of the codes are not working.

you can give me your e-mail address so that i can send you the code and if ever its not working tell me so that i could send you another code, but i can send a code for three times only.

hope i did help hahah sory that the process is so complicated
