I see the word 'revenge' and I know that I have to watch it. It's that simple.
Can't wait for this to be fully subbed :)

Ahh the classic old Japanese romance dramas <33
BE STILL MY HEART.
Watching Toru gradually fall in love with Yuka and her innocence filled me with warmth, Their chemistry was just so lovely. A pure love story, indeed, though I do wish the show explored their relationship as companions more.
It's definitely worth watching once. Give it a try.

ALL THAT TALENT
ALL THAT GOOD LOOKS
IN ONE FREAKING DRAMA?!

EEEEEKSSSS CAN"T WAIT TO WATCH THIS TALENTED CAST TOGETHER.

Only 7 comments for this hottie?! I love him.

Yay! Thank you for sharing :)

Re-watched this after years and it's such a consistently good romcom. Issei might be a minor but he's such a man with the way he grows and communicates his feelings honestly, and Hayame is such a boss lady. The butler and grandma were absolutely adorable too.
Even on a re-watch, I loved it as much as when it was airing.

Love Gordon and Alice! Looking forward to this :)

Here's my list of J dramas from the 90s. I'm sure many dramas from the list will interest you :)

An unconventional story of unconditional love, hope and strength that draws you in slowly thanks to the resilient FL and oddball ML who are the quintessential characters a common man would relate to. A criminally underrated and simple film with a profound message that will move the hardest of hearts. Beautifully written and acted, I can't recommend this enough, especially for slice of life lovers.

P.S This might be the most 'common' Hiroshi Abe ever looked LOL.

He has seriously grown on me over the years... dude can play any kind of role and give a very sincere performance. Also, he was so charming in the 90s <3

Me too! I managed to find the raws but still can't find the subs :(((

I started this for Mamiya Shotaro but stayed for each and every character. This was a wacky, hilarious & heartwarming drama that could teach you a thing or two about family, friendship and growing up. The writing, direction and performances were so sincere and wonderful. The Nanba family, esp Matsu the dog who I just found out passed away, will be missed. RIP.
Highly recommended for all :)

You're telling me my Nanba boys did another drama together?!
Now I gotta watch this for them since I am having Nanba withdrawals.

NOOOOOOOOOOO :(((

Hope you are better! I have some more recommendations that I watched recently and are as wacky -
Nanba MG5
Gomenne Seishun!

Couldn't agree more! This is one of my favourite genres and the Japanese do it effortlessly. I don't know if you've seen more from this genre, but do them give a try -

Kyou Kara Ore Wa
Yankee-kun to Megane-chan
Tiger & Dragon
My Boss, My Hero
Gomenne Seishun!
Yuusha Yoshihiko to Maou no Shiro [not a yankee drama but similar wackiness]
Gokusen
Nisekoi

You can't go wrong when you have a slow-burn romance with two beautiful young men. This was lovely.
Also, Hirose Tomoki seriously looks like a young Oguri Shun :)

the wait for the next episode is killing me...
i wish netflix would release more episodes SIGHHH
that's why i hate watching ongoing dramas

A simple, feel-good and fun romcom about 2 easy-going, smart, and charming adults who strike a friendship over bowling, and fall in love with each other slowly. A rare drama with zero negativity and leads who communicated constantly, and yet remained imperfect in their own ways. The supporting characters were really likeable and fun too. Time flew by with this one. It just flowed beautifully and ended in the best way it could. As charming as a classic could be, and should be *swoons*
I can't finish this comment without fawning over how fine Kaneshiro Takeshi was <33
Highly recommend this lovely classic for all :)

Also, this must be Nojima Shinji's most positive drama ever. The man writes pretty dark stuff and this was so refreshing from his usual stuff (which I also love)..
