Which Drama Got You Into Japanese Dramas??

 Nomnombearinyvr:

J-drama as a genre is relatively new to me and I’ve watched a few before, but only recently have I been totally addicted to them! I think First Love: Hatsukoi totally got me hooked!

No real reason I started with this, just happened to be on the same angelfire website I was getting some anime from in the 00s. 

They only had a few shows and decided to try this. It ended up being very compelling and I was the right age for it. 

It also has the most inappropriate ending theme by Kinki Kids that often plays over some dramatic emotional cliffhanger with no regard for mood. 

Oh Love is Phantom sounds interesting- MDL says it's on Viki but must be regional as not here in Europe. 

Thanks just checked Asiancrush and not available in my region. Will try the other two ! 

Thanks - at least there's more jdramas on Viki than Netflix!

Many popular Japanese dramas serve as gateways into the world of J-dramas, with frequently mentioned titles including classics like Hana Yori Dango (Boys Over Flowers), the suspenseful survival series Alice in Borderland, the heartfelt romance of First Love, the slice-of-life culinary series Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories, and the quirky romance Mischievous Kiss: Love in Tokyo. The best drama to get you into J-dramas depends on your preferred genre and style.
