My Drama List
~COMPLETED~
- 1 Litre of Tears- You would think this drama's title would have warned me for how sad it was going to be but I had no idea I would cry as much as I did.
- Black and White- The only Taiwan Drama on the list. I really enjoyed it. The big bad was kind of obvious but that's sort of what makes it fun. Plus it is way to easy to ship everyone in this drama.
- Bloody Monday- I liked this but then I read the manga, and I have to to say I enjoy the manga better. I'm still waiting on all the subs for the second season.
- Boss- I have to say that this is one of my favorite dramas. I've watched it enough times by now that I can have it on in the background and recognize the scene just from what their saying and since I know pretty much no Japanese I think that says something. I want another season of this show so much.
- Buzzer Beat- This was a drama I watched when I was bored, and I was surprised at how much I liked it. The two pairings in this are one of the few drama pairings I actually agree with.
- Gokusen- If you know me as an Arashi fan you have this drama to thank for it. Oh MatsuJun how do you bait me?
- Haikei, Chichiue-sama- I first watched this back when I was binging on Nino dramas. It's a sweet drama that you have to marathon or else you'll get a bit bored.
- Hero- Umm... I don't think words can express my love for this drama. Go watch it. It has Kimutaku in it and the drama pairing is ridiculously cute.
- Keitai Sousakan 7- How do I explain this drama without making it seem lame? It's a drama about cellphones that are highly advanced. So much so they become little walking machines that fight crime with their buddies. Falls under the "it's better than it sounds" category.
- Kimi wa Petto- I have to say if there's one thing this drama did well it was making us root for their pairing, because when my friend and I watched this together the moment the other guy came on screen we were both like "I don't like him"
- Kisarazu Cat's Eye- I have to say I usually don't like Sho's acting but I think he did very well here. This drama might have possibly cemented my love for Okada. Strange how that works.
- Koshonin- Umm... I love strong female characters, and you know when their physically strong too it's just a plus. I'm still waiting for subs on the second season, I might end up giving in eventually and watch it raw just to see more of Usagi.
- Kurosagi- While I like this show it's one of the ones that I've only watched once and am fine with that. But for Yamapi fans you should watch it. Horikita Maki fans should watch it too.
- Liar Game- I began to watch this originally for Toda Erika and continued to watch it for Matsuda Shota. And this show has cemented in me that I should probably be resigned to liking the manga better than the drama.
- Long Vacation- How to explain my love for this drama? Really it's a KimuTaku romance drama. I feel as if I have no need for more explanation.
- Mageraenai Onna- This drama has solidified my love of threesomes. Umm... that's totally not the point of the drama but it's an amazing drama with very real feeling characters. Just make sure you watch past the first episode.
- Maou- So this is one of those dramas where everyone dies and I love it and ever since I watched it I haven't been able to marathon it again. Watch it!
- Mr. Brain- Feel like watching a light fluffy drama that makes you not have to think since they piece everything together for you? Watch this.
- Nobuta Wo Produce- This drama has so much gay in it, and it lured me into asian dramas. I will always love it. And I have youtube to thank for it.
- Nodame Cantabile- This was my first jdrama and I will always love it. It's based off a manga that I use to read and it's fantastic. If you don't like classical music before you watch this you will afterward.
- Pride- If my flailing over Long Vacation above didn't clue you in already to the fact that I love KimuTaku dramas then let me tell you. I love KimuTaku dramas. This one being my favorite, so far.
- Ryuusei no Kizuna- Ariake three! The three siblings in this are so sweet and I love their relationship and the ending is a bit of a twist. This drama cemented my love for Nishikido Ryo and Toda Erika. I'd already loved Nino by then.
- Saigo no Yakusoku- Arashi drama! I was spoiled for this before I watched it but I still loved it anyway, plus if you watch it twice things that you don't notice on the first viewing stand out at you.
- Stand Up!!- Suzuki Ann! Ninomiya Kazunari! Yamapi! Becky! Oguri Shun! Narimiya Hiroki! If these names can't compel you to watch this drama then watch it because of the friendship between the characters.
- Triple- The only K-drama on the list. It's about a girl who ice skates and goes to her step-brother's house to go for training from a world famous coach, who happens to be her step brother's ex-wife, but she doesn't know about that. It's interesting if for no other reason then you get to hear people rampage on and on about step siblings. (not in the drama but some of the fans)
- The Quiz Show- Umm it's wonderful and I love it. The acting is wonderful, the story is original, and the twist is twisty.
- The Quiz Show II- Yoko <3 This drama made me so happy. Sho's acting was decent but Yoko's was rather wonderful. Plus it ties in to the previous series.
- Tokyo DOGS- Oguri Shun and Mizushima Hiro bickering is a wonderful wonderful thing. And the actress who plays Yuki is a lot of fun too.
- Triangle- The first time I saw a Smap drama that wasn't Kimu Taku. It was good. I'm use to everyone getting out alive in the end in cop dramas unless an actor or actress quits and then they're killed off for normally no reason, but this time I'm positive it was all planned out. It was so good at the end. It is a bit slow paced for a while though.
- Unfair- If you ever see me rave over Shinohara Ryoko or Eita this drama is why. I've watched a lot of cop shows in my life but this might just be my favorite. I cried my eyes out when I watched it, which is strange because normally I don't cry over stuff. But this drama does so well at establishing the relationships between the characters that by the end you're crying about all the shit that happened to them. Make sure you watch the last episode all the way through including the ending credits since they're different than normal. Just don't watch the movie, I consider it an abomination. The special is okay though.
- Uta no Onii-san- Ohno in a drama as a character who sings every episode. I approve. Also my little sister who roles her eyes at all things Japanese likes this show too so...
- Yamada Taro Monogatari- My first Nino drama! With Sho! This is rather hilarious but don't expect things like plot and character development.
- Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge- My favorite manga was made into a drama! And I supported it from the get go. Mainly because the main actor was Kame and umm I kind of adore his acting. Also I like it as a stand alone sort of thing.
- Yasashii Jikan- Another one of Nino's humanistic drama's and to be honest I like this one a lot more then Haikei, Chichiue-sama. It delves into the father-son bond which is fantastic.
