Title Hakuoki
Because the story is about the Shinsengumi with a touch of fantasy.
Oh okay...I didn't watch the anime or read the manga...thanks for giving the clue of the gender-bender though...still I can't take it as male-centered because of the "reverse-harem" tag....in simplicity male-centered should be something male viewer would feel proud of...something that will give them a sense of masculinity...it should be something like "female empowerment" but focuses around male...

To make things clear I have nothing against this drama. In my top comment above I was referring to the slightly misleading description of "male centered plot" tag in MDL.

Btw I know what Shinsengumi is although I didn't learn about them from this series

Not so engaging as compared to AnaBan and the MC got on my nerves too....will still watch S2 though to know the ending...entertainment value for S1 is around 8/10

Like if a Male Lead time slips to Yoshiwara (Edo's brothel) you won't say the story is female centered plot just because it revolves around female characters of the brothel...if you know what I mean

Do you know where I can watch this series English subbed?
Welcome to the club! LoL

Title Sanadamaru
If only I could find a historical text dealing with this. I have a novel in Chinese translation that includes…
If you mean books, I'm sure history enthusiasts can recommend some...but for the summary of history of Japan, wikipedia might be enough (while not reliable) for the rest of us.

I guess the era that this drama is based of is quite well known and have been adapted into many other dramas too, which is the transition between Toyotomi to Tokugawa reigns in Japanese history. The only difference is Sanada Yukimura as the main role and thus his perspective.

Title Hideyoshi Spoiler
Do you know where I can watch this series English subbed?
There's torrent for the RAW videos:
https://nyaa.si/view/1191482
Then you have to download the english sub separately from d-addicts (link included in the torrent page).

I watched the low definition with indo hardsubbed on youtube sometime ago...but the sub was bad that i had to download the video and overlay english sub on top of it.

Title Komyo ga Tsuji Spoiler
Even though this is yet another Sengoku drama that spans over the three reigns of Oda-Toyotomi-Tokugawa, it has…
What I like:
1. Solid drama that focuses on husband-wife relationship in the medieval Japan time settings.
2. Surprisingly featuring many historical figures even though for a brief moment only.
3. More stories and plots for Toyotomi Hidetsugu. This historical character always got overlooked on other dramas
4. Gives justice to Ishida Mitsunari's character.
5. The only drama that talks about Tosa domain takeover and the conflicts around it after Sekigahara Battle.

What I don't like:
1. Last episode was a bit draggy with bad and forceful writing on the main character (Chiyo) involvement over "Ieyasu vs Chacha/Toyotomi" conflict
2. The main character, Chiyo's intelligent was a bit over the top at times and the writer seemed like confused her intelligent with fortune telling ability....LoL
3. Similarly the husband, Kazutoyo's dumbness was over the top at times.
4. Minor mistakes on the name usage in the dialogues. For example, there was 1 scene (fortunately insignificant one) addressing Hideyoshi as Hashiba although he hasn't changed his surname (from Kinoshita to Hashiba) yet at that moment.
On Komyo ga Tsuji Dec 18, 2021
Even though this is yet another Sengoku drama that spans over the three reigns of Oda-Toyotomi-Tokugawa, it has few things (stories/characters/trivia) that are not told in other dramas. If you love Japanese history you may want to consider watching this. What I like and don't like about this drama in the comment below.

watch this years taiga while waiting for next years?
haha that's what I usually do...but the sub for this year taiga is still far behind...I afraid it will only finish when Kamakura Dono finished airing...lol
Old_Anime_Lady Dec 11, 2021
Thanks for the compilation!! Looking forward for:
Mystery to Iu Nakare
No Activity
Tsuma Shogakusei
Touboui F
Jashin no Tenbin
Dakara Korosenakatta
Ikite futatabi

Maybe:
Dr. White - as long as they don't make Hamabe's character as genius doctor, it would be fine
Tonari no Chikara
Tetsu Ota
Shimobee - chliche but sounds fun
Koi Senu Futari - interesting but could be a flop drama

Most anticipated drama and I will watch it anyway as long as there's sub for it is Kamukura Dono. Hopefully can watch it in early 2023 after the sub is completed.

Title Hakuoki
LoL...I think the tag, "Male Centered Plot" is confusing. It should be a story revolves around male's topic not for how many male roles are in the story. How can a reverse-harem is a male centered plot at the same time? Isn't that contradict?
On Police in a Pod Nov 29, 2021
This is a classic example of a wholesome, non-romance, career-themed Japanese drama featuring rookie and mentor. A clueless rookie will learn a lot from the mentor and will grow throughout the series.

I was expecting something absurd, wacky and over the top judging from the poster, but I was wrong! This has more than a comedy to offer. It's about finding a meaning in the work you do. If you are guided by the right person, you will end up satisfying in whatever you do regardless of how shit it is and will be more appreciative with things.

Overall 8.5/10. If they could maintain the style of first 2 episodes, I would've given this 9. Nonetheless will put this drama on my custom list here; https://kisskh.at/list/q1XvAzw3

This is heavy copaganda but hey at least it's fun and the cast is super attractive
Sorry for the sudden reply on older comment...yeah I agree with this being a propaganda but it's a propaganda in a right way IMO...more of like an awareness campaign which I think could benefit the targeted audience...they also didn't over glorifying the police
On Ryoma ga Kuru Nov 24, 2021
FYI: Evasive has subbed this drama. You can find it at daddicts under the title Shouga Dorama Ryouma ga Kuru.

Title Sego-don
how were they inaccurate im about to start this JP genre.
Yeah I understand that, but I just wanted to clear the misconception of Sanada Taiheiki being the accurate Sanada clan representation on TV....well, because everyone can read this on internet without a need to log in to MDL so I just worried they got misled unnecessarily...me too have actors that I don't like, so I know what you mean :)

PS: Well I guess my reply wasn't specifically for your comment...instead for everything from the top (@Fumiko)...
