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.
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.
This drama stucked on my CW list for a while, so I kind of happy that finally could finish it.I'm not a fan of…
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...
This drama stucked on my CW list for a while, so I kind of happy that finally could finish it. I'm not a fan of the original Sherlock, so can't comment whether this drama is a good spin off of that or not.... but this is definitely something that I won't recommend to investigation genre fans. Why? (see comment below)
This is one of my least favorite genre that I don't think I could handle...just seeing the ending credit of 1 Litre with the actual girl photos, had made me skipped this drama... not because it's bad but because I know it would be a painful journey... :(
It looks like the term has become a big deal in later years but bromance has long existed among men (in reality)...and even many Hollywood stuffs have this since long ago....just look at any of the double male lead cops one...then you will have bromance...in fact all movies and dramas will have one as long as there are 2 or more main male leads in it...
With the rebranding of bromance as we saw lately some fans could easily confused it with boys romance...some others started to relate bromance with good looking metrosexual guys wearing fancy clothing only....which misled the term...
Sorry, but this one is a MEH drama...the selling point is Nishikido Ryo and Araki Yuko...that's all. The plot is what japanese would usually say "Yoku Aru Pattern".
The "episodic crime cases" were over-thought to the point it would not make sense anymore. The main case (that would be revealed at the end) was okay thanks to the actor who played the antagonist role.
I could write 3 pages full of reasons why I dislike this, but it would only leave negative vibe on this comment section. The only thing deserve praise is how they were carefully not leaving any plot-holes on the cases.
Overall, this only deserve 7/10...but i added 0.5 for their effort to not leave any plot flaws on each of the crime cases.
I like this guy...I never get "that" annoying feeling when watching his drama....unlike the other fangirl-ed male actors....his limitation is lack of screen presence IMO...therefore he could been easily overshadowed by "stronger presence" one...one example is Legal V...Surprised that he looks much more shorter than 173cm though...
Spark is damn good...the drama is damn slow though, but the realistic-ness is priceless! Except "that" very very last scene on last episode...LoL
On the series drama I have watched all except for the BL one....Kind of reasonable to chose Hiragi Sensei as the best, but to me Tomei na Yurikago was better in many aspects....Hiragi Sensei was relying mostly on Suda and the initial impact during first few episodes only
Watch this if you: 1. Want to see good acting 2. Love politics 3. Interested in this particular history event
Don't watch if you: 1. Want to see different plot than what is in history 2. Want to see action like wars or sword fight 3. Expecting a love (romance) sub-plot 4. Want to learn about Oda or Toyotomi from scratch
Never liked boyband concept regardless of west or east...but these guys and their songs are all over in jdramas so I can't say I dislike them either...and some of their dramas are my favorite too....have not been fascinated by their singing though

Other dramas: Kokoro no Kizu, Kotoki Brothers, Zetsumeshi, Theseus no Fune and of course Kirin ga Kuru.
Wait and see list: Alibi breaking, Yameru toki
Hanzawa Naoki S2 is like an urban legend already...have been waiting from 2014 until now but never be realized...LoL
And yes I didn't watch all of above too...
