Best/most popular dramas from the 90s?

Off the top of my head:

• Long Vacation
• Great Teacher Onizuka
• Tokyo Love Story
• Under One Roof
• Aishiteiru to Ittekure
• Ice World
• Over Time

I have read that both Aishiteiru to Ittekure  and Over time have endings that people don't like. This is a common trend that I tend to see in 90s dramas where people don't like the endings. See it makes me rethink if I watch the whole drama and then like others end up disappointed with the ending.

My favorites Beach Boys, Long Vacation, & GTO already got mentioned, so I'll add:

Virgin Road (1997)

Cheap Love (1999) -- another, hmm, "controversial" ending, but I still think it's good and worth watching (I just pretend the last few minutes of the final ep don't exist).

(Yes, I love Sorimachi Takashi.)

I only watch one from the 90’s.

A Sleeping Forest. It’s lit. Prepare your tissue.

I'll add: Konna Koi no Hanashi (1997). An underrated gem with a helluva cast at the time.

The most popular J-dramas of the 90s are GTO and Long Vacation.

My personal favorites are GTO and Long Vacation (but I've only watched 3 so far, so I don't have many to choose from).  I've also seen Tokyo Love Story, which is good too.
