rec me a jdrama

Oct 07, 2007 01:35

So, I started dramas with jdramas, particularly the comedies, and as a result, I've rather torn through them and am running low on ones to just stumble across. As such, I am turning to the f-list for help in finding new ones before I suddenly find myself all out.

Currently watching:

Love Generation

In the backlog:

Nanisama
Pride
Rondo
Slow Dance
Taiyou no ( Read more... )

dorama recs, jdrama, dorama

hm what is backlog?
BUT I HAVE TO RECOMMEND PRIDE ALOT (though there's some people saying it's not nice?)
takuya kimura brightens up the screen (as he always does) and who could imagine him play ice hockey?

A backlog is basically stuff you have and haven't watched yet(or, in the case of books, read)

I have never before heard of someone NOT liking Pride...it seems to be universally praised.

If you don't mind sports dramas and a bit of craziness, I'd recommend Water Boys. :) (the first season)

What's it about?(never heard of it)

It's basically about a group of boys at high school forming a male synchorized swimming team. Besides the fact that they kind of suck at it, they also have to struggle against people who don't approve of the team. It's mostly a comedy and overall has a very "feel good" and lighthearted tone to it.

Have you seen "Good luck"? It fits into all your categories and it is ADORABLE..

meganbmoore October 7 2007, 15:01:15 UTC

I take it that means KimiTaku actually never touches a cigarette?(seriously, aren't singers supposed to not smoke? I think that and "eeew" everytime I see him with one, wehich does not help me enjoy thinks like cooking porridge for his otp...)

I don't know you but I saw this and thought I would chime in. KimiTaku does smoke in Good Luck, which is unfortunate, but there is an episode where they force him to stop for his health. Does that make it any better?

Anyway, I highly recommend Liar Game and Himitsu no Hanazono, though I see you've found those already. I thought that Jikou Keisatsu was light, fun, and interesting and has some element of mystery in it so it may appeal to you.

Not knowing me is fine, as is wandering in(both are even endorsed.)

Forcing him to stop is good, as long as it lasts.

What's Jikou Keisatsu?

Perfect timing! See my post here. I am happy, happy, happy!!! Silly grin.

meganbmoore October 7 2007, 15:04:35 UTC

heh.

Quick question: what's Fujiki Naohito's character like?(yeah, this is one of those that I got for a very shallow reason)

akosikae October 8 2007, 04:58:54 UTC

Well, he's the older brother whom Riichi looks up to. He gave up his dream to be a filmaker and became a normal worker guy. Genius investment banker who's bored with they way his life is going :) In the drama, to me, he is like the silent listener to everybody's problems. I'm going to read the subs in the office. Read without the video. Waaah, hangover.

meganbmoore October 8 2007, 05:24:59 UTC

Oh. That's fine then. I am actually very fond of such characters, and FN has a great "silent" charisma.
