My five suggestions in random order:

Virgin Road: secret pregnancy, fake boyfriend, very lovable male lead.

Hirugao: housewives, love affair, jealousy, tragedy.

Orange Days: group of friends in university, deaf girl, violin playing, sweet male lead.

Love Song: age gap romance, lots of music, insecure girl gains confidence through singing. 

Itoshi kimi e: photographer gets eye problems, feels like crap, but there is a woman who truly cares about him.

In addition:

  • Amateur Lovers anever Give up - two main couple, great girl friendship, but my fave part is the awesome chemistry for romance especially the secondary couple 
  • Buzzer beat - starts as friends, become confidants then lovers. There are annoying love rivals but the main couple is pretty great together
  • From 5 to 9 - unlikely romance between a career oriented girl and the shaman/priest heir boy
  • We married as a job - contract marriage, awkward male and very kind girl
  • kingyo Club - melodrama about a bullied high school girl and a senior who gave her a place to belong
  • Pride - A contract dating between a hockey player and the shy girl he falls for
  • Rich man poor woman - a guy who doesnt recognize faces who meets a girl with an intriguing name
  • Movies: 
    • Kimi no todoke - school outcast and the most popular boy in school romance
    • My teacher - romance between teacher and student
    • Kimi wa petto - noona romance

Here are some of my suggestions:

Ashi Girl - girl travels back in time to the Sengoku era and falls in love with a young lord. Very cute!

Family's Form - very focused on family relationships, but it helps bring the two leads together. Slow relationship progression between the two, but very sweet and genuine as they come to rely on each other more with time

Nagareboshi - contract marriage between strangers for mutual benefits, the two become friends and then eventually fall in love. Sweet and melancholic

Boku no Ita Jikan - main guy discovers he has ASL, the drama is about his dealing with the slow progression of his disease. He's already dating when he finds out (we get a nice bit of their coming together before then, it's cute), and the relationship between the two is important given the extreme situation. Super sweet but also super sad, be prepared to cry

From 5 To 9-  Priest falls for Modern Workaholic, the kind of drama you would mostly unknowingly. A Shaman/Priest falls in love with a Hard working Career based Woman who is unlucky with love.

Flowers For Algernon-

FEW WORDS : Mouse, Brain Surgery, Low IQ, l a mouse gets a scientific experiment  done on its Brian to increase its IQ; prone to this it is given the name Algernon. They experiment has a sseemingly successful result and so the same procedure is done on a mentally impaired man with the brain of a 6 year old and one of the professors who are working on this experiment is Mochizuki Haruka Interestingly the mouse Algornon dies then Sakuto's IQ grows increases and he begins to see the disguising side of this world. haruka begins to help Samuel face this filthy world.   (but the chemistry is not so strong, but it's a great year jerker like 1 liter of tears)

Boku Unmei No Hito Desu- Slow paced Romance, Guy Asked Girl Out, Career Oriented Couple. -Makoto Masaki and Haruko Kogetsu are both 29 years old and single. Since they were children, they have passed each other at various places like on the beach and shrines. Yet, the two are not aware of each other at all. One day, a man appears in front of Makoto Masaki and introduces himself as God. He tells Makoto Masaki about his destined soul mate and that she works next door. When he faces Haruko Kogetsu, he tells her "I'm your destiny." (By the romance is a bit slow paced)

Hey :) I'll try to explain a bit  about the dramas ,with no spoilers!
I highly highly recommend :

Itazura na kiss love in tokyo-
it's based on an manga it's about a stuped girl that really  loves someone that is not nice to her at all and then they live together with their family  ,it's really popular drama!

Boku, Unmei no Hito desu - it's about a man and a women that are destined to get marry but thay don't know each other until starnge man told him that him that he  is god and he will help him.

5-ji Kara 9-ji Made-
it's about someone very serious that works in a tample that determined to marry an english teacher that dosen't like him at all.

MARS  Tada, Kimi wo Aishiteru-
it's about an artist girl and a playboy that fall in love and face alot of people that try to ruind their realationship.

The 100th love with you -it's about an old childhood friends that promise to celebrate all their birthday until they will be 100 no matter what.

If you want more you can always feel free to ask me :) enjoy!

  1. Hana yori dango – it’s a must see it’s the classical Cinderella story but one of the bests ever done (2 seasons and 1 movie)
  2. Buzzer Beat – good romance drama about 2 people that meet and fall in love but first they have to find the perfect timing for them to be together
  3. Love Shuffle – it’s a story involving 4 couples and how they learn what love is
  4. Pride – a classic romance drama with a mature couple who grow and learn from each other and also heal each others wounds
  5. Tatta Hitotsu no koi – a very good romance and it’s a Cinderella story but inverse (rich girl, poor boy)
  6. Hotaru no Hikari – this has 2 seasons and a movie, and it’s a bout a couple that has to live together due to some circumstances and gradually fall in love
  7. We married as a job - As mentioned before this one is compared to Because this is my first life. I liked both of them but I'll have to say I liked better how they managed the "contract relationship" at the final episodes here. 
  8. Soratobu Kouhoushitsu - I like this one, because is also about 2 persons who had their dreams broken about their ideal jobs but with the help of each other discover a new passion in life. 
  9. Kahogo no Kahoko - This one is pretty sweet and lighthearted, the OTP is very cute and it centers alot on family.
  10. Boku unmei no hito desu - This one is also pretty lighthearted, the male lead is very sweet and kind and it's totally focused on romance.
