Recommendations: the wonderful world of jdramas

Once upon a jdrama, there was...

...a failed race car driver who ends up being a bus driver for an orphanage,
...a motorcycle gang leader who becomes an inspiring teacher,
...an intuitive prosecutor addicted to buying eccentric exercise products 'as seen on tv',
...a brilliant and intense real estate agent who never smiles,
...a fashionista proofreader,
...a chocolatier with a one-sided crush,
....a taxi driver who time travels...
....a layer turned teacher who's able to make students accepted into Todai...
....a drama scriptwriter who can't write...
...

A lot of japanese dramas use a profession as the motif of the story, building the narrative around it. But the main characters aren't simply defined by their professional occupation, they each have their own personality and quirks.

These are just some of those stories.
