Its been a while since I watched a genre like this. (well besides High&Low).I hope there's more drama like this.…
Couldn't agree more! This is one of my favourite genres and the Japanese do it effortlessly. I don't know if you've seen more from this genre, but do them give a try -
Kyou Kara Ore Wa Yankee-kun to Megane-chan Tiger & Dragon My Boss, My Hero Gomenne Seishun! Yuusha Yoshihiko to Maou no Shiro [not a yankee drama but similar wackiness] Gokusen Nisekoi
You can't go wrong when you have a slow-burn romance with two beautiful young men. This was lovely. Also, Hirose Tomoki seriously looks like a young Oguri Shun :)
A simple, feel-good and fun romcom about 2 easy-going, smart, and charming adults who strike a friendship over bowling, and fall in love with each other slowly. A rare drama with zero negativity and leads who communicated constantly, and yet remained imperfect in their own ways. The supporting characters were really likeable and fun too. Time flew by with this one. It just flowed beautifully and ended in the best way it could. As charming as a classic could be, and should be *swoons* I can't finish this comment without fawning over how fine Kaneshiro Takeshi was <33 Highly recommend this lovely classic for all :)
Also, this must be Nojima Shinji's most positive drama ever. The man writes pretty dark stuff and this was so refreshing from his usual stuff (which I also love)..
jdramas are amazing!! if you're coming from kdramas, lmk, I can recommend really good ones!

Some more J dramas I'd recommend you to try - Nanyobi ni Umareta no Okaeri Mone Kono Sekai no Katasumi ni Tsuiraku JK to Haijin Kyoshi Koi Desu: Yankee-kun to Hakujou Garu Grace no Rireki Fight Song
A light-hearted, and educational historical romcom with a loveable FL and romantic ML that made for a delightful watch! Even though its not the most perfect drama and lost its steam in the last few episodes, it seamlessly combined history & culture into the story along with giving us such a clean, wholesome romance. Unlike the usual lakorns, there were no loud or evil characters and watching them evolve was a refreshing change. Kudos to the production for this wonderful drama. Highly recommended for all :) Can't wait to watch the movie and Season 2!
You are nuts. It COULD have been a good movie, but Ishikawa destroyed it. She played the exact same, unsympathetic…
She was human, and made mistakes like a lot of humans do. She was mentally ill. DId she deserve his anger and hatred? YES. But does that excuse abuse? NO. Nobody deserves to be abused. Also, whoever said we fall in love with people based on their 'niceness' or good qualities? If that was the case, half the world wouldn't be able to find a partner or love. And this is strictly my opinion. I don't expect anyone else to agree with me. We can agree to disagree.
Just finished the 1st episode and my jaw hurts because I smiled for the entire 45 mins. The leads' relationship is absolutely adorableeeeeeeeee <333 I"M IN LOVE!
Kimu Taku is truly a gift that keeps on giving. This man just knows how to pick good scripts. This could have been more tight-scripted, nonetheless it was a decent one-time watch that kept me engaged for a good 3/4 of the drama. Give it a try if you love the classic dramas. It's not the most unpredictable plot but the way it unfolded gave it an edge, especially for the time it was made in.
