I LOVE SEKAI ICHI MUZKASHI KOI!!! So so hilarious & underrated! His secretary is so awesome. Just keep watching, you'll laugh a lot. It wasn't a perfect drama, but it was a true rom com all the way.

I know. Same.

It's even better. Try it!

Give Kazoku Game a try.

The ratings on the reviews don't do justice to this drama. Just watch it.

I've stopped trusting the ratings on this site long back, esp for Japanese dramas & movies.

Yes, it's the movie with Keira Knightly.

I'm looking forward to Hometown & Hellbound too! Will check out the others as well, thank you once again.

I love dramas/movies set in a dystopian society. That reminds me, have you seen Never Let Me Go? There is a Hollywood movie on it as well, but the Japanese drama is even better.

I love these dramas you have listed! I recommended more in my reply to the other user. Give those a try if you haven't.

Thank you for the heads up on Law School & Devil Judge. I tend not to enjoy legal dramas as I am in the legal profession & they don't present the legal system accurately. Nonetheless I wanted to give them a try because of the good reviews. I'll still watch them & let you know how I found them.

Added Move to Heaven to my watchlist.

I haven't watched Love Alarm but I'll check it out sometime. Thank you.

And yes, I do agree. K dramas don't do it for me anymore. Do give J dramas a try, esp if you love to watch a variety of stories. I'll be happy to recommend some if you want :)

Yes, I do watch some K dramas once in a while but if I have to count, it will probably be less than 10 a year which is so little. The last one I saw this year was Run On. Planning to watch Law School, Devil Judge & Beyond Evil sometime within this year. Hope they won't disappoint.

Nope they have a good range of dramas from all genres. Japan is actually known for its slice of life dramas which are very heartwarming. Happy to recommend some (from any genre) if you would like :)

This is subbed on WeTV but I don't have it so I watch it on dramacool

This drama is so much fun. Thank you for this article :)

There was a time I used to watch so many Korean dramas, & now I mostly watch Japanese dramas & movies because they provide me with a range of stories & characters that are harder to find in shows from other Asian counterparts. Unfortunately, K dramas aren't as engaging as they once were (at least for me). This is just my opinion.

This drama lacked substance.

COVID be damned :(
