I'm not kidding when I say I plan to put like 95% of these on my list. *Sigh* There's just too many that I want to check out! Sankyuu for the article~ ^^
Sankyuu for writing this article, IwahashiGirl. As an old fan of Japanese entertainment that has been mainly living in the Korean drama realm lately, I was starting to forget the appeal of J-drama. Now, I have so many more J-drama to add to my list.
One thing’s for sure: Japanese dramas give me a nostalgic feeling, probably because I started venturing off into Japanese entertainment (mainly anime/manga) when I was younger; I was introduced to Korean entertainment later. Hence, I think I can appreciate Japanese storytelling and culture more easily than a total newbie who’s crossing over from Korean drama.
I also believe that J-drama have some genres I would trust them with first before a K-drama: psychological, horror, detective, and sci-fi. Those are the genres I generally browse in J-drama when I need a K-drama break.
For those of you who find Korean drama bland, there are dramas out there that are done really well and demonstrate Korean beauty e.g. in my opinion, period dramas. Regardless, I’ll keep watching both.
Haven't forgotten this drama since. It was exciting and I'll rewatch it again someday. Oh, not to mention, "Saet Byul-ah!" has been ingrained in my brain :D.
