Maybe one is the special? One of them should be the Korean version as well

Oh my, you've got quite an extensive list, but I do see a few you've missed keke.

Dragon Zakura - the original version of the live action. "God of Study" is the remake.
Zettai Kareshi - Whoo, I wish I had that hottie as my robot slave/toy.
Q10 - girl robot, and, and, and, the robot is ACCHAN ^-^
Ouran High School Host Club
Yukan Club
Seigi no Mikata
Great Teacher Onizuka(GTO) - "original" school themed dramas.
Asuko March
Tada Kimi wo Aishiteru (Movie)
Boku no Hatsukoi wo Kimi ni Sasagu (Movie) - Both these movies are extremely sweet
Shinobi - more Yukie action!
Real Clothes

I'll add more when they come to mind ^^

I know this isn't japanese, but I feel that everybody should watch this drama:
IRIS. Oh God, its so epic. Every episode, until the very end, I felt like I was having an eyegasm (Courtesy of Viikii viewers).

Yes you do.. We do seem to have similar tastes.. but everyone is different, I may thoroughly enjoy something and you won't like it.. the one I question recommending is Ikeman Desu Ne (or however spelled if I misspelled) I consider it the "diet" version of You're Beautiful. The two that I recommended, that you may or may not like, so gonna give brief explanation:
Dare Yori mo Mama wo Aisu- Its being told through the eyes of a child about his family. There is a lot of "growth" and its very well written. At times it seems a little flat, or boring, but its not meant to be something that keeps you on your toes. It's kinda one of those types that you sit back, relax and enjoy.
Uta no Onii-san- While, I am not a fan of Arashi, nor am I a shipper of most of the members drama's, this one is sweet. Ohno is great, and it will pull tears from you. The kids are just to much at times, and then they are really sweet. There is great character development.

Oh and the MUST see is Last Friends, it is a melodrama, but its worth the watch, I think it is the first drama I ever thought deserved a 10 or more...
