I'd recommend watching the fan-subbed version over the Netflix version for a better viewing experience.. the fan subs actually translated a lot of the cultural references, significance of places they visited and the word plays / puns they used as opposed to the Netflix one which merely translated the dialogues spoken by the characters.

AHH do watch more J dramas! They have quite a range from really dark to silly. I have a list of recommendations if you're looking to try stuff other than comedies.

Since you're into comedies, these writers are great.
Bakarhythm (he writes genius black comedies and satires):
Kudo Kankuro (fun, wacky and heartwarming.. also a lot of his dramas and movies have a sick and edgy editing style)
Fukuda Yuichi (action + comedy.. very mindless)

Enjoy :)

How did I miss this iconic drama on Netflix?!
Time for a re-watch after 20 years because I could do with a good laugh...

This is not a drama for everybody and might constitute the brand of comedy that puts many off Japanese content, so watch with caution. If you can get past the first 2 episodes, you'll end up enjoying this and Kudo Kankuro's works in general. Having said that, this drama about young delinquents was way ahead of its time thanks to its edgy direction and editing style, and characters that were refreshingly frank, and equally charming as they were jerks. Definitely one of the most iconic Japanese dramas reminiscent of youth, culture and delinquency, with an A1 cast that was just starting out and probably had no idea they would grow so huge. I mean we have hot Tomo in his prime, goofy Yosuke, skinny Tsumabaki Satoshi, Takahashi Issei with the long hair, innocent Yamapi, Koyuki, and Kudo Kankuro .. they made me realise how much I've aged alongside with them 🥹🥹
Also this was Sato Ryuta's first ever role!! DAMNNNN

I just realised both leads are from Gekokujo Kyuji!!!
I loved that drama.
Can't wait to start this :)

Not just homophobic.. that user basically hates anything Japanese.
Like this must be the 3rd or 4th comment I'm seeing from him / her on a J drama page spreading hate.

DUDE why are you spreading so much hate on every Japanese drama page?
I get it, you hate Japanese cinema with a passion.
Move on, watch the movies and dramas you enjoy.
Nobody is forcing you to watch Japanese dramas and movies.

Ahh you started with Gomenne Seishun! I think about 3-4 dramas on this list are written by the writer of Gomenne Seishun. His name is Kudo Kankuro, and majority of his dramas are comedic gold. In terms of comedy, I'd say Gomenne Seishun ranks a little lower than most of his work and is more on the heartwarming side. But its enjoyable nonetheless.

Wait till you watch some of the others.. you'll laugh so much! HAHA.

And yes, Japanese comedy is absolutely GOLD. They can make a plot out of absolutely nothing, and have you hooked, and feel a myriad of emotions.

All I know is that she posted a picture with Kim Soo Hyun (the queen of tears lead) and both of them looked kinda high and intimate in that picture..

DUDEEEEEEEEEEEE
That is exactly what I felt!
He is very loveable, and that feeling hasn't subsided even 12 episodes in.

Sure :)
I mean you're investing your time and energy, so it's always best to watch something that interests you.

I would have loved to see Han So Hee as a vampire.. i can totally picture her in the role.
Anyway I enjoy vampire stuff so I'll watch it.
Too bad there are very few vampire Asian dramas and movies.

Not all of them are romcoms, some are pure comedies involving gangsters. But they're super good! You should definitely check them out if you're into this genre :)

The one in Episode 3??
YESSSSSSSS I FREAKING LOVED IT
I wanted to give him one big hug! He's just too adorable!

SAME :)

ecotvsubs is subbing it :)

HELL YES *in ML's voice*
(you'll understand the effect his voice is having on many of us after you start)

I completely understand her desire to stay in Shanghai and I support it, which is why the ending disappointed me terribly because it undid everything she was trying to fight for, in the name of merely settling. Work and relationship can co-exist. Anyway you've not seen it so I won't go into detail. And maybe you will not agree with me after you see it, and that's fine. It's my POV.

Second, I appreciated her need for independence and her scars, but it's also a fact that a lot of it arose due to the handicap and her need to be as normal as others, which is why I do wish her handicap was fleshed out better because the impact was both psychological and physical. If she did not have that handicap, her desire to prove herself might have manifested in other ways, or not be as strong.

And third, I disagree that her handicap could have been anything. A blind person's struggles are different from a deaf person's, and different from a crippled person's. Each have very specific kinds of trauma, stigma etc and they come with a very specific, and complex set of difficulties. It's not as simple as the ML accepting her prostate leg and being ok with it. That is just stage 1. Second stage comes to truly understanding the complications that comes up with this leg, the impact it might have on her future, the ways to care for her body and her leg, not to mention the fact that she had her gallbladder or some other part removed just before she met him etc.. these little details deserved some attention.

The writer wrote her disability with a very lay-person understanding of it, and that's what disappointed me.

Of course I don't expect others to agree with me, but I just felt the need to explain my point.

OH MY HEART
E10!
I CAN'T WITH THIS SHOW AND THIS ADORABLE COUPLE
AND ALL THESE THIRSTY DEERS
AND MIHO / IL YEONG
This show is making me feel too lonely.. where do I sign up to have such people in my life...

No I didn't. I did not skip any scene or episode.
I might have mis-typed that bit but in essence, I wanted his journey with his profession to be fleshed out more. Same for her. My reply to the above user explains my gripe.

Yes, slight romance :)
