Great article, I would have seen a couple of other mentions (totally personal opinion but hey, that's what comments are for): - Tokyo love story is like the grand father of modern office romance - Shoumuni : same with office comedy and it had a tons of seasons for a reason - Densha otoko was such a crazy hit when it came out, on all media and format, it took everything a romantic comedy stands for and turned it inside out, I think it was a very good adaptation - kdramas with romance are cool and all, but recently the field has opened with signal, tunnel and all the netflix shenanigans. As someone who is totally fed up with the same romantic comedies with weak stories, I think it's worth mentioning this move which has started for a couple of years now

Shomuni has it's own style for sure.
And btw, it's really nice to read something about jdrama for a change :-p
