TimiZero

I'm curious about Nishikawa

Yes...we need at least an SP!!

It's episodic drama that could turn south if not written properly. However, the order of death cases was done just nicely with no individual story overpowering the other. All in all it has balance emotion throughout the series. Not something you would call a masterpiece, but I think this drama is good enough to make you stay until the last episode.
8/10

Overall not a bad drama with good production value plus amazing scenery....but story-wise it has spot ON and OFF moments with certain part being draggy. The script was also trying to over-rationalized the issues presented in the drama that it felt too meh at times especially during the final episode.... 7.5/10

Not bad movie with some comedic and serious moments. Although it could be better without the poor, comedy purpose CGI fight. Overall it's enjoyable even if you're not a fan of Ohno.
7.5/10

Very light movie perfect for casual watch....nothing fancy in here, not so much on the political side and not many indirect messages that you need to digest after watching...suitable for family as well
8/10

To be honest and fair, this drama is as good as any other Japanese family dramas. It has a good feeling and writing in it, with topics mostly related to family. What I like the most is the arguments presented by Mitsuru and his family members were all valid. Don't expect some out of this world plot though..

On the downside however, it lacks of dramatic moments IMO which could turn this into something memorable except for the scene during the marathon in the last episode... That one alone was brilliant, although it might look cheezy...

Overall, it's a good drama and highly recommended to everyone.
8.5/10

The bad:
1. Unnecessarily and cheaply riding on the popularity of 3 nen A gumi. And what with every class member appear as cameo on each episode???
2. The mystery looks promising and interesting at the beginning, but the way they unfold it sometimes felt funny (waraeneei yooo!!!)
3. Too many plot twists that just felt lame and laughable at times despite they're not part of comedies of the show.
4. Despite trying to outsmart and impressed viewer with plot twists, some of the twists are cliche and predictable.
5. Judging from the ending, there's possibility they would make an SP or Movie, which totally unnecessary
6. Not realistic considering Japan police don't simply fire their gun. They should create parallel world (like Atami no Sousakan) if they want to do something like this
7. Last episode was too preachy with morals and so on...after all that unethical conducts??

The good:
1. Wow!! This drama has many well known actors...it looks like they enjoyed their acting as they could brush up their skills more with something like this
2. Most actors done well to balance out Kaku Kento's overacting
3. Second part of the drama (ep6 onward) felt much more calming to watch (if you know what I mean)
4. The fighting scene might help you stay with the drama

Finally finished watching this. There are few issues that I will write in spoiler below.

I really wish some characters from S1 would make a cameo, especially Kaneda...but unfortunately it did not happen, but we do have special lines dedicated for them in the dialogues:
1. Hayakawa Sensei: When Kuwano is sent to the hospital, he said to his bro in law not to tell the woman doctor
2. Michiru (Kuninaka's character): Kuwano said to Madoka he would save a sick person even if he has to enter through the veranda
3. Kaneda: There was missed-call from Kaneda in episode 7, in ep9 there's car model drove by Kaneda in S1, in ep10 Yakumaru met Kaneda in countryside...

However, there's no reference to Sawazaki

After all, this is an amazing drama and the writing (especially for Kuwano's character) is consistent with what we have seen in S1. My only regret is that, see below:

I don't care about what are in the list as they are popular dramas list not good/excellent dramas list. My only concern though, is the overall style of this video which in my opinion could be improved next time...
1. Please make the video's duration shorter unless if you have a voice over
2. Please use more suitable song/music for chart-like video
3. Please use Stereo version of the music...those used in this video are all (intentionally/unintentionally) sounded Mono

Thank you for creating a separate list!!

It's not that I have any recommendation actually, but somehow you know...when I see strange things on the internet, I just couldn't help myrself from commenting/asking...LoL I hope you can forgive me about that...haha

No worries! It's you list. I was just curious when I saw the number 10k. Because as I wrote on my edited comment above, even a popular Jdrama only has 5k watchers.

My point is if 10k is the threshold, then almost all the least watched countries dramas would be in the list...not to mention older dramas. These dramas could be well hyped among their small fans, it's just the number might be lesser than 10k in MDL. I guess this will defeat the purpose of this list, is it not? Maybe the rating is much more appropriate for a criteria?

EDIT: Just checked Hanzawa Naoki, one of the most hyped Japanese drama and it has only 4,870 watchers in MDL.

Wow! Below 10k viewer is considered underrated drama? Maybe only applicable for Korean?

Oh, thanks a lot!! I didn't realize we could simply change the number.

Wrong cover image! The yellow one is the right one.

Hi, firstly I must say this new voting feature is awesome!!

However, it would be nice to have a separate ability between adding title/person and voting.

From what we have now, a title/person would only be there when someone's voting for it. I don't think this is ideal as sometime a title/person won't just pop up off your mind (especially the older one) when you want to vote. Or you might have missed some that could've be more of your favorite because no one is voting for it yet. That's why a pre-listed title/person would be more helpful. And adding a title/person shouldn't necessarily mean you're voting for it.

Another problem is when you add/vote many entries, it would be hard to re-order them when you change your mind in the future.

The cases felt too easy to be solved by Miss Sherlock in the sense that when you watch it, you won't realized she already solved it...unlike other dramas of same genre where viewers would be invited to keep guessing throughout the episode. I did not get that feeling in this one...
