Beautiful days. After that i started scouring for Takaya Kimura productions...I have watched most, not all are great works but overall i think he is a good actor.
Mine was a veeery sad drama 'One Litre Of Tears' I didn't expect it to be that sad I just randomly started watching it bc it was feautured on a site T^T
Not sure how old you need to be to remember these shows, but I'm almost certain the first J-Drama I watched was Abarenbo Shogun. If not then it was Oshin. It was definitely one of the 2 though...lol
