2011 - Soredemo, Ikite Yuku - Marumo no Okite

2012 - Strawberry Night - Saigo Kara Nibanme no Koi

2013 - Tonbi - Woman

Beautiful Rain is definitely up there. It's been a while since I've seen a dorama that has touched me, I guess the last one must have been Tonbi.

"Tonbi" is finishing up it's run, starting Oct. 5th in the 9pm slot they'll be showing "Legal High": http://www.jdorama.com/drama.1739.htm

I think I did not do a good job explaining what I mean by optimistic and uplifting. I think that it's important that the main character is relatable and / or charismatic yet believes in achieving some ...

Tonbi was very optimistic, despite quite a few sad events. It was all about good people coming together, growing together, and overcoming challenges together. Good mix of comedy and drama.

18.2 will be airing "Tonbi" http://www.jdorama.com/drama.1801.htm.

Starting July 6th in the 9pm timeslot. I thought Masaaki Uchino was great in this.

Just finished watching Going My Home. A really nice drama that left me with this type of good-feeling. I might also be biased because Abe Hiroshi has always been one of my favorite Japanese actor ever ...

Any recommendations (2013/2014)? Interested in pretty much everything except medical/detective drama's.

I liked 'Tonbi': http://www.jdorama.com/drama.1801.htm

I know you're a big Yoko Maki fan so you could start with 'Osozaki no Himawari':

Thanks GMark Bow

I've rekindled my Maki Yoko fandom via Tokyo Friends, so that's where i'll start Big Grin

Have I missed anything worthwhile?

^ Starting with Fall 2012, there's the Kimtaku drama 'Priceless' and 'Osozaki no Himawari'.

Winter 2013, 'Saikou no Rikon' was good but could have been better IMO. 'Tonbi' was very good, and I also ...

Has anyone seen the other WOWOW winter season dramas? Any thoughts? I want to watch something short before starting a longer drama like Tonbi as I am quite busy Mr Green

This isn't from WOWOW, b ...

I only managed to follow Saikou no Rikon. It's not even the best drama and I am missing a few episodes in-between. Not that it matters, and while acting is good and the ending credits are cool, the s ...

Watching Tonbi now. Saw eps 3, 4 and 5 in one go. It's indeed very good. The story has so much heart! It's been a good winter season after all...

Finished 'Tonbi' this may be the best of the 'single parent' type. Masaaki Uchino excellent as Yasu and Akira Emoto and Yumi Asou both great as Kaiun and Taeko.

But I thought the final episode ran ...
