Rec to watch!

If you like mystery/crime/investigation and Satomi Ishihara, i think this is quite good! 

if you like family-village/healing/slice of life and abit of mystery, this is good to watch! I watched this when I was at a very low point in my life and it cheered me up alot!

if you like mystery/slice of life/romance, this might be one for you! I really like it, but I wish I was able to read the novel that it is based on T_T I heard it didnt get much viewership but I think its really a solid drama

if you like mystery/investigation/twists, I would recommend this. I watched it without any spoilers and I got hooked! If you are a detective fan, I think you would like this

if you like healing/slice of life/medical/soft romance, I highly/strongly recommend this. Cases will bring you to tears but it gives me a whole new perspective about life in general. Prepare tissues if you plan to watch and cry easily!

if you like lawyer-attorney/cime/injustice/twists and a cool theme song and takumi kitamura, I highly recommend this!! I think it is super good! I have someone to back me up on this but, the story, characters and everything - there is always a plan and a reason behind them, really if u like those lawyer/crime shows, this might be for you!

if you like mystery/family drama, this is a good watch, though i think the love story is really something special too. It seems to show what lengths people can go to when it comes to family and achieving their goals. One could really overlook someone's bad side when blinded by their love. Plus Yuriko and Matsushita's chemistry is 100 hehe to me!

if you like slice of life/comforting/abit of animals and issei takahashi, you would like this story. The main lead is abit odd, but his way of thinking is really something I didn't think about, I felt like I was one of his students. I watched without much expectations but I ended up impressed. 100% to rec to watch! There is also Nana Eikura, Honoka Yahagi and Daigo from Naniwa Danshi! 

if you like jellyfish/soft romance/ heartwarming feels, you should watch this! Though this is a warning!!!! The older brother will get on your nerves alot, I say this because almost every ep, or whenever he appears, I always frowned haha. This drama is super sweet too, I think everyone would understand the struggles the characters are facing, but somehow I have more of a hopeful feel to this drama. Also, Kiriyama Akito from WEST. acts here too! hehe also Ueto Aya is really pretty!

if you like family drama/bromance/heartwarming and feelgood themes, this is super good. I was very moved since I related to the main character Hiroto alot, the family really warms up to you, overall message is despite wherever you go, you still belong to your 'pride', which is like a family/group for lions, for us, I guess it means family, if you want some positive energy and feelgood vibes, this is for you!

if you love cats/found family/heart warming theme and in need to cheering up, this is a movie for you. This movie is really like giving you a big hug, to remind you that you are no alone, being alive in this would is already hard enough, you should enjoy and be happy as much as you can. I feel you will smile at some of the quotes in this movie!

if you love grumpy but kind mc/ school setting/ health issues and heartwarming moments, this show is just the one to watch. The doctor is posted to be the school doctor to cover the school nurse who will go on maternity leave, he cares for the kids' health quite seriously and learns how to deal with them .  The MC will slowly win you over, I was surprised mental issues were touched upon as well though, mental issues is considered as health issues (to me too), overall it is a comforting drama, and I think it reminds you to not to be too hard on yourself - take care of yourself so you can keep going! Hm but maybe because I am abit biased to Matsushita Kouhei hehe

if you like music/romcom/uni setting, with grumpy x sunshine troupe (kinda), I recommend you to watch this! Honestly, it brought me back to my days in school. The main takeaway from this drama is more of, just go for it, whatever you want to do or try and cherish the now moment you have. The message seems kinda basic/cliche /obvious but after watching how much fun they have, the struggles they had and the funny fillers in between throughout the drama makes you really take this message to heart.  Plus the old slapstick comedy and chaotic energy from the main cast is just so fun to watch, for me at least! It was a fun watch, I will want to rewatch it again when I need a drama to make me laugh abit after a rough work week. Also, special thanks to the one who reminded me of this LA series.
