Hello all,

I am relatively new to watching J-Dramas. I've watched 3 BLs and I just finished Miss Sherlock. So I am unfamiliar with actors, actresses, directors, writers. I am participating in the Japanese watch challenge and would appreciate some recs. If anyone could list their favorite actors, actresses, directors, or writers and a drama you recommend of theirs that would be great! My favorite genres are: romance, comedy, fantasy, thriller, and BLs. (For the romances, the less conflict the better).

Thank you!

For screenwriters, check out:
