Recommend Japanese dramas for a beginner: What are the best?

I am not sure what is suitable for beginners so i am just going to give a list of my favorites from what I have seen

Romance 

From 5 to 9 (Cute leads)

Rich Man Poor Women (Dont be discouraged by the title its a great show)

Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu (Contract marriage plot that is very realistic)

Suki na Hito ga Iru Koto (Yamazaki Kento is life)

Mystery 

100 Million Yen Women (Its on Netflix,  its fascinating and weird - i suppose not the best for beginners but try it)

I havent seen too many Japanese Shows myself but this should be a good place to start

Enjoy!

Suki na hito ga iru koto (lots of cute moments and lots of food, also the protagonists have lot of chemistry).

I also liked Dame no Watashi ni koishite kudasai  & Good morning call:D

I like fluffy and Rom-com the most so my list isn't completely balanced genre wise. Here are a few dramas I liked:

Mars (I like Taiwanese ver better though)

From Five To Nine

Good Morning Call

Kurosaki kun no Iinari ni Nante Naranai

My Little Lover

Hanazakari no Kimitachi e (To The Beautiful You)

Ikemen Desu ne (You're Beautiful)

Kimi Wa Petto

Hapimari

Last Cinderella

Nobuta wo Produce

Hotaru no hikari

Mei-chan no Shitsuji

Nodame's Cantabile

Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge

Liars Game

Rich Man Poor Woman

Switch Girl

Yankee-kun to Megane-chan

Zettai Kareshi 

Currently watching Ashi Girl up to episodes 11 and it's pretty decent. Absurd of course but cute and funny.

I find asadoras to be a good choice. The 15 minute format means you can watch as many or as few as you want at a time. Generally I’ll watch 6 episodes at a time for 1.5 hours.  The fastest I ever watched a drama was Amachan, 18-24 episodes a day for a week. Asadoras do tend to be 35-39 hours long and the 150+ episode count scares some people away. 

I’ve watched 

Amachan - young girl wants to be a diver and an Idol

Gegege No Nyobo - Based on the biography of  the wife of  mangaka Shigeru Mizuki.  

Chiritotechin - a young woman dreams of becoming a comedian in the male dominated field of Rakugo.

Gochisousan - a young woman who lives to cook, struggles to win over her in laws with her cooking. Set before and during the Pacific war years, 1930s and 40s.

Many of the more recent ones are fully translated.

Soredemo ikite yuku. It's very heavy though. 

Among earliest dorama i watched is Hero and one litre of tears. I think personally that still good starting point. 

Liar Game , Hanazakari no Kimitachi e
