Ichi Ritoru no Namida [1リットルの涙] It goes without saying that this drama was a very touching one. What made it truly superb was the amazing acting done by the entire cast, not just any one person. From Erika Sawajiri's potrayal as Aya to the heart rendering performace of Aya's mother, everything was done in a way that evoked the viewers emotion. This was by far the best drama I have seen so far, making drama's like Beautiful life (which i watched later on, a bit dull)
Papa wa nenjuu kurou suru [パパは年中苦労する] Great Memories [Rating: 8/10] I remember when i was about 5 years old, my father bought back some copies of this drama from his office. As i was living in Pakistan at that time, i just remember being really pleased that this drama linked me with my native country. Though i havent watched this drama for more than 10 years, I clearly recall it being filled with extremely funny scenes and moments. The dysfunctional relationships between all the family members was immensely comedic!! A funny drama
