1 Pound no Fukuin [1ポンドの福音] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) Quite funny but the plot was so so, I prefer other kind of comedies like Nodame or Hana Kimi | Abarenbo Mama [暴れん坊ママ] Rating: 7/10 Funny dorama with Ueto Aya, not the best dorama but it won't dissapoint you if you are a fan of Ueto Aya although she has better doramas. | Ace wo Nerae! [エースをねらえ!] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) Worthwatching, it's one of the best sport doramas I've ever seen and if u like sports then u should watch it |
Alice no Toge [アリスの棘] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) Great, the plot is so great and the OST too!!! Moreover the final is so great, quite unexpected, not so predictible like many other Japanese dorama. One of the best mistery doramas I've seen so far | Attention Please [アテンションン プリース] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Another hilarious comedy about an unconventional topic like cabin attendants!!! It's pretty funny but I think Hana Kimi and Nodame are funnier. | Bambino! [バンビーノ!] Rating: 9/10 a very good cooking dorama!!! The only thing I did not like is that Matsumoto Jun's role was not good enough because I did not like Ban Shogo, haha |
Bartender [バーテンダー]
| Buzzer Beat ~ Gakeppuchi no Hero [ブザー・ビート] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) Quite messy the plot but if you like basketball you should watch, by far the best dorama of summer 2009 | CHANGE Rating: 8/10 (Watched) Good dorama about politics, Kimura Takuya as PM it's nice but still a bit slow dorama... |
Code Blue Season 2 [コード・ブルー 2] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) as good as the code blue 1, so if u liked code blue 1, this one is the same or better | Code Blue Season 3 ~ Dr Heli Kinkyuu Kyuumei [コード・ブルー 3 ~ ドクターヘリ緊急救命] Rating: 10/10 As always this dorama is one of the greatest, Aragaki Yui did a great job in this dorama, I still have to finish it but so far it has been a great one | Code Blue: Doctor Heli Kinkyu Kyumei [コード・ブルー] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) Action dorama, among the best ones, a bit repetitive but give it a try it's worth it!!! |
Control ~ Hanzai Shinri Sousa [CONTROL〜犯罪心理捜査〜] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) | CRISIS ~ Kouan Kidou Sousatai Tokusou-han [CRISIS ~ 公安機動捜査隊特捜班] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) Great dorama, action one, although the last part was not the best one. | Densha Otoko [電車男] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Worthwatching, great cast and also very hilarious dorama with otakus!!! Plus, they show Akihabara nearly in every episode!!! |
Dragon Zakura [ドラゴン桜] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Funny and addicting!!! Also great cast!!! Another school dorama, not as good as Hana Yori Dango or Hana Kimi but it is a good option if you are looking school doramas | Edison no Haha [エジソンの母] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) Quite funny but plot it's a bit repetitive | Freeter, Ie o Kau. [フリーター、家を買う。] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) Too slow dorama, cast great with Karina. Not one of the best but worth it if you like Ninomiya or Karina, I did enjoy it although there are way better doramas |
Galileo [ガリレオ] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) Very good dorama, it's a thrilling dorama combined with science topics, my only complaint is that the ending could be better but despite of that it is a very interesting dorama | Galileo Season 2 [ガリレオ 2] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) Follows the same structure like Galileo first season but I think the second season is just good, the first one is quite better | Gokusen [ごくせん] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) Very cool, it's very interesting and also funny, maybe the best school dorama after Hana Yori Dango and I think it's better than GTO!! Also great cast with Matsumoto Jun and Oguri Shun |
Gokusen Season 2 [ごくせん2] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) Very good dorama, similar to Gokusen I, although people say first season is better I think second one is better | Gokusen Season 3 [ごくせん 3] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) Similar to previous Gokusen season, although season 1 is the best one of all 3, this one is also OK. Cast not as great as Gokusen 1 but plot very good!! | Hachimitsu to Kuroba [ハチミツとクローバー] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Quite good, good plot, and very good cast!!! Not the best romance drama I've ever seen but it's worth enough to download |
Hana Yori Dango [花より男子] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) Very good, a must see, pretty dark school dorama with a very thrilling plot!!! If you have to choose a school dorama try this one or Gokusen, both of them are very good, maybe Gokusen is more hilarious but this one is darker and has more action!!! | Hana Yori Dango Season 2 [花より男子] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) A must see!! If you haven't read the manga or watched the anime you should watch it, because it is very good, and also DARK, but still very hilarious and sometimes a way too exagerated!!! Cast also very good, with Oguri Shun, Matsumoto Jun, Matsuda Shota and Mao Inoue | Hanazakari no Kimitachi e [花ざかりの君たちへ] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) A must watch, very hilarious, and also school dorama!!! and also nice cast with Oguri Shun and Horikita Maki!!! Deserves a 10!!! |
Hanazakari no Kimitachi e 2011 [花ざかりの君たちへ 2011]
| Hancho ~ Jinnansho Azumihan [ハンチョウ ~ 神南署安積班]
| Hanzawa Naoki [半沢直樹] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) One of the best doramas I've ever seen, one of the most viewed doramas since 1990, it's a MUST SEE |
Hirugao ~ Heijitsu Gogo Season 3-ji no Koibito-Tachi ~ [昼顔 ~ 平日午後3時の恋人たち ~] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) | hoteriaa [ホテリアー] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) Quite dramatic dorama, it's sometimes interesting but sometimes is so boring, anyway I won't watch it again but it was not so bad although there are better doramas than this one | Ichi Ritoru no Namida [1リットルの涙] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) Very dramatic but worthwatching!!! If you think all dramatic doramas can be boring, you may be right but personally this is the ONLY dramatic dorama I did like to watch |
Joker Yurusarezaru Sosakan [ジョーカー 許されざる捜査官] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Great action dorama, would give a 10 if it was not too much repetitive, most episodes follow the same pattern | Jotei [女帝] Rating: 9/10 Quite good, very interesting plot, it's a very dramatic dorama with a sad ending | Juui Dolittle [獣医ドリトル] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Good dorama, made me cry a bit, very good dorama of Oguri Shun, got used to Oguri having nice characters roles and in this one he has a mean character role and foul mouthed, very good acting, one of the best doramas of Oguri Shun |
Koshonin [交渉人] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) So so, plot boring, not really negotiations but it's a mistery dorama. | Kurosagi [クロサギ] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Very thrilling dorama, actually I had watched few thriller doramas, this one is very good because it is also about an unconventional topic like swindling, also cast is good, Tomohisa Yamashita and Horikita Maki | Last Friends [ラスト・フレンズ] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) Amazing plot, very dark and lovely plot!!! Hard to watch for some people but it's so good!!! |
Legal High [リーガル・ハイ] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) | Legal High Season 2 [リーガル・ハイ 2] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) Great comedy, Sakai Masato rocks, you better watch it but better try season one before this one | Liar Game [ライアーゲーム] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Very thrilling dorama, cool soundtrack, also Erika Toda and Matsuda Shota did very well their roles, perhaps my only complaint is that the plot advances very slowly. Moreover, I think the antagonist, Yokoya-san is very cool |
LIAR GAME Season 2 [ライアーゲーム 2] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) not as good as 1st season but still good, | LIFE [ライフ] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Nice plot, really liked it because it talks about an important issue like bullying, not hilarious dorama though but it's still quite good!!! Anyway, I hope there will be a 2nd season. My only complaint is that in the cast no one was famous enough!!! | Love Shuffle [ラブシャッフル]
|
Majo Saiban [魔女裁判] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) Good at the begining but as the plot advances it becomes annoying, the end is quite surprising though, a little bit twisty dorama | Maou [魔王] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) really good, it's so amazing, mistery dorama!!! Satoshi Ono has a cool rule as lawyer Naruse, it's a very thrilling dorama, a little bit repetitive. But is one of 2008 best doramas | Mei-chan no Shitsuji [メイちゃんの執事] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Another school dorama, even better than Hana Kimi, not very realistic but I think it's better than Hana Kimi as school dorama but not as good as Hana Yori Dango |
Miss Pilot [ミス・パイロット] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Good dorama about planes, it's not a comedy but it's good to watch, not a 10/10 dorama but it's a very good dorama, I enjoyed it | Mop Girl [モップガール]
Still watching | My Boss, My Hero [マイボスマイヒロ] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Very funny, a bit touching but it's a very good comedy, very hilarious, haha |
Nazotoki wa Dinner no Ato de [謎解きはディナーのあとで] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) | Nobuta wo Produce [野ブタ。をプロデュース] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) Very good dorama, nice ending which tells you the importance of friendship!!! I think it's a bit overrated but it is not so bad, the plot could be better and the cast is very good, with Kamenashi Kazuya, Tomohisa Yamashita and Horikita Maki | Nodame Cantabile [のだめ カンタビ−レ] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) Very hilarious with a good plot!!! Very weird characters, haha If you think classical music is boring, before saying that try watching this dorama because you may change your opinion!!! |
Orthros no Inu [オルトロスの犬] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) It's a SF dorama, plots unrealistic and kakkoii actors, Nishikido Ryo and Hideaki Takizawa. Not boring though but don't expect this as the best dorama of 2009, but worth try it because the plot is somehow different and not repetitive as many doramas | Rich Man, Poor Woman [リッチマン、プアウーマン] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) | ROOKIES [ルーキーズ] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) From my point of view this one deserves the title of my best dorama of 2008, insert song by Greeeen is great, Kiseki!! ^^ Ryuta Sato role as bakaa sensei is so funny, and plot is very interesting. Finally a good sports dorama!!! Looking forward for the SP and the Movie :D |
Ryusei no Kizuna [流星の絆] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) Very good dorama, nice cast with Nishikido Ryo, Erika Toda and Ninomiya Kazunari. Plot is also very interesting and it has an unexpected epilogue. Love it! | Shibatora [シバトラ]
| Shitsuren Chocolatier [失恋ショコラティエ] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) Watched this one because of Ishihara Satomi and Sato Ryuta. The plot starts very good and has a good pace but when you arrive at arond 70% of the dorama the plot becomes boring and predictible. The plot is also too focused on the relationship Saeko & Souta when there are so many great characters which could be more developed. Not bad but the last part of the drama disapointed me a little bit. |
SP [エスピー] Rating: 8/10 Quite good, good thriller and an astonishing end but the plot advances very slowly | Stand UP!! Rating: 9/10 Funny dorama, currently watching!!! | Summer Nude [サマーヌード] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Good dorama about friendship and love, I did like it but it's a bit slow pace dorama, Karina plays a very important role in that dorama, if you like her you must watch it, she rocks but Toda Erika is just so so, she has better doramas |
Sunao ni Narenakute [素直になれなくて] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Love it, cast was very good and amazing plot too with lots of side stories!!! very good human friendship dorama | Taiho shichauzo [逮捕しちゃうぞ] Rating: 5/10 (Watched) Very overrated, don't watch unless you are a fan of the anime or manga series!! Give it a 5 because I feel sorry for Misaki Itoh, haha :) | Taiyou no uta [タイヨのうた] Rating: 6/10 (Watched) Very overrated dorama, plot so boring and pretty dramatic, honestly I only watched it because Sawajiri Erika had a role. Pretty bad compared to Ichi Ritoru no Namida |
Tatta Hitotsu no Koi [たったひとつの恋] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Set up in Yokohama, lots of landscapes of Minato Mirai 21!!! Kame acting just so so but Ayase Haruka acting was great, although it doesn't deserve a 10 if you have time I totally recommend it!! | The Quiz Show Season 2 [ザ・クイズショウ 2] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) A bit repetitive but with an interesting plot, Sakurai rocks in this dorama!!! Not worth a 10 but if you are bored and don't know what to watch and you are an Arashi you may give it a try | Tobo Bengoshi [逃亡弁護士] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) |
TOKYO Airport [TOKYOエアポート] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) Lovely dorama, a bit slow though, I love the plot, very nice dorama for those who like aviation world!!! | Tokyo DOGS ~ Saiaku de Saiko no Partner [東京DOGS] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) Really liked this one, it's a police drama, good action and quite funny at all, among the best doramas for winter 2009 | Voice [ヴォイス] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) Nice dorama, not a must see but it is a nice dorama, most episodes are very similar where they found a case and they solve it - mostly with Eita's great help.
Cast is great, Eita is great, but it would be better if Toma or Ishihara Satomi had a more relevant role. Dorama too focused on how Eita tackles the case.
Insert song by Greeeen is lovely |
Watashi ga Renai Dekinai Riyuu [私が恋愛できない理由] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) | Yamada Taro Monogatari [山田太郎ものがたり] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) Very touching dorama and also funny at the same time, it tells the importance of family and friendship
Soundtrack deserves a 10/10 | Zenkai Girl [全開ガール] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) |
Zettai Kareshi [絶対彼氏] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Interesting dorama, a bit cheesy and sad at times. I like Kuranosuke Sasaki acting in this dorama, Mizushima acting is also good ^^ | Zettai Reido [絶対零度]
