Fuji TV's classic love dorama "101st Marriage Proposal" clearly made it on the first place, followed by the popular TBS dorama"Hana Yori Dango" and the romantic anime "Whisper of the Heart".
Broadcasted back in 1991, "101st Marriage Proposal" made the beginning of the golden age of doramas in Japan. Popular script writer Nojima Shinji wrote the script and Takeda Tetsuya (61) played the unskilled Hoshino Tatsurou trying to win the heart of the beautiful cellist Yabuki Kaoru (Asano Atsuko). One highlight of the dorama was the scene when he jumped in front of a moving truck with a do-or-die spirit and declared his love to her. A classic moment and very touching scene in dorama history. "It's a scene that made me want to fall in love like he did," a male voter commented. "The proposal felt like it was really coming from the bottom of his heart," a female described the scene.
The final episode ended with a top rating of 36.7% and it's famous line "Boku wa shinimasen!" (I won't die!) became a very popular phrase that most people still know and like to use or parody today. The fact that the dorama still has so many fans almost 20 years after it aired is amazing and reason why it made it on the first place.
