Jidaigeki J Drama (non-TAIGA): My Ranking
**Notes
Only listing dramas that I have watched.
Ranking for Top 10 and Bottom 5 are more likely accurate than the rest, as these dramas were not completed around the same time and therefore my judgement might be ambiguous.
Higher ratings do not necessarily mean higher positions.
