Great Teacher Onizuka is one of those dramas where you're gonna feel the heart of the story. You're gonna feel touched no matter what. Especially, especially, especially if you love school dramas. If you love school dramas and haven't seen GTO yet, get on it. It's a classic and you're definitely missing out.Each episode focuses on a student with issues, and by the end of the episode of course they come to love and appreciate Onizuka as their sensei. Onizuka is not a traditional teacher in the slighest, instead he takes a vested interest in his students personal lives, and really helps them resolve their issues. The students of course find Onizuka very untrustworthy in the beginning (as it goes with most school dramas), but they realize this teacher is a godsend.
I really loved the cast, for the most part. And the music is so catchy, I catch myself humming it every once in a while. Everyone is gonna have their own favorite episode, as I definitely have mine. When I think of it, it still chokes me up a little bit.
Some parts of this drama, however, frustrate me massively. I'm not gonna name them because they'd be spoilers, but just know the good outweighs the bad in this drama.
GTO is a must-see. It's a classic, and if you're a jdrama lover, you definitely don't want to be caught saying you've never seen this. I didn't rate the rewatch value very high because I could not marathon this drama as I did my first time around. I absolutely recommend Great Teacher Onizuka to jdrama lovers, especially those who love school dramas.

I thought the first episode was kinda boring, but after that it really grows on you and finds a place in your heart. Unubore's antics throughout the drama have me rolling. I just can't even deal. He's too ridiculous it's adorable. His dances, his "Ore wa ore da!", he even starts singing his own theme song.
Unubore Deka has a great cast, and it's just fun to watch. It's just a fun time waiting to be had. I loved the ending so much, I couldn't decide whether I should rate this a 9 or 8. The plot is interesting enough, but it's everything else that really makes this drama gold. If you love Nagase, you definitely have to check it out. If you've enjoyed Kudo Kankuro's previous jdramas (Kisarazu Cat's Eye, Tiger & Dragon, etc.), you'd probably like this too since he also wrote this.
Unubore Deka is just a good time. I'd recommend it to anyone who's looking for something not so serious, but still has substance and is funny as well.

1 Litre of Tears deserves nothing less than a 10. This is my third time around watching it, and the only reason why I rated the rewatch value a 6 is because this is not an everyday drama, something you watch just to pass the time. It can be emotionally draining, and you need to be in the right sort of mood to watch it.
I wouldn't watch this drama all the time, but I would definitely recommend it to everyone out there. Whether you're a jdrama fan or not, I think everyone should watch 1 Litre of Tears at least once in their lifetime. Especially if you are a jdrama fan. How can you call yourself one if you've yet to see this? It's such a powerful drama. All about Aya, a 15 year old girl who's diagnosed with such a cruel disease. Her disease gradually takes away her motor functions, and little everyday things you and I take for granted.
This drama will open up your heart and really make you appreciate the abilities you have now. Ako (Aya's sister) says what I think is a pivotal message in this drama. "To actually have the ability, but to do nothing, I really don't like that." After watching this drama, you'll reevaluate everything. You'll definitely have a new outlook on life. I know I did. If this 15 year old girl, with such a hopelessly cruel disease is able to find a purpose to keep living, to keep pushing through to the next day, why can't any of us do the same?
1 Litre of Tears is near and dear to my heart. I love it so much. Of all the jdramas I've seen, I'd say this is the one everyone needs to watch. If you absolutely hate crying, and it's a deal breaker for you, then I can honestly say it's your loss. It's such a profound story, with an equally amazing cast, and the soundtrack is breathtaking. You're not human if your eyes don't at least water. Excellent drama.

I actually just finished it, and I can say that if ur in need of a laugh, this is the drama for u. From the very first episode (which I think is the funniest), this drama will force u into fits of laughter tht u'll need to pause it just to catch ur breath. Seriously, I started watching this last night, and I was laughing so much tht I was literally crying. Nagase Tomoya is hysterical. I did start watching the drama for him, and I'm glad I did.
Other than the hilarity of it all, My Boss, My Hero is a decent story overall. It won't leave you frustrated, and the ending wraps up nicely. It's the story of Makio, a 27 year old yakuza heir, who is so much of an idiot tht his father sends him back to high school to get his high school diploma. If he fails, he won't get to be the next boss. Through his journey, he learns what it means to really be a part of a class. Friendship, love, and most of all, youth. I think the biggest theme of this drama is youth, and how you've got to enjoy it when you've still got it. Makio learns a great deal from his class, but in return, he teaches them as well.
This is a great drama to marathon, as it's not dull, and is very short (as most jdramas). The beginning and ending song is so catchy, I just love it! And you will never forget Nagase's performance, his faces are absolutely hysterical. Give it a chance, you won't be bored!

Where to even begin? The feels! The freaking feels I get from this drama. Not only is it funny (seriously, it's impossible not to kneel over from laughter every episode), but it's so touching and heartfelt. The bonds each character has with one another is not easily forgotten, and it's hard to choose which interactions I enjoy the most. Honestly, I love all of them! That is probably a prime example why I prefer jdramas over all the other asian dramas. There is so much heart in this drama, it makes my own heart want to explode.
And can I just say again how funny this drama is. Honestly, it's one of the funniest dramas I've ever seen. Kotora, the main character, is yakuza but wants to do rakugo (a form of classical Japanese storytelling), and each episode he learns a different story and incorporates it into reality (whatever situation the characters happen to find themselves in that day) and performs it. It's really so funny, I seriously can't stress that enough. If you're going to watch this, be prepared to bust a gut.
Omg please watch this. Please? If you love jdramas and you've never seen this, you need to get on it. If you're new to the genre, WATCH IT. Just everyone should watch it. You really won't regret it.
Btw, Tiger & Dragon has THE PERFECT ENDING. Honestly, I was just so happy and giddy, and I was grinning from ear to ear. Just, everything comes together so nicely at the end. Outstanding drama!

What a sweet and touching drama this is. It's the type of drama that will have you feeling nostalgic, and it'll make u want to hop on the phone or send a quick message to friends you haven't talked to in awhile. I was going to call this a coming of age drama, but it's not really, since all the characters are adults in their senior year of college.
The story is so much more than some deaf girl and the challenges she faces while trying to fit normally into society. It's all about deep friendships, forming bonds, creating memories, finding your way. Most of all, taking value and worth in yourself.
I just have so many feels just thinking about Orange Days. After I finished this drama for the first time, I wanted me and my friends to get a notebook and write in it just like in the drama. Omg this drama will have you missing simpler times (if you've already graduated from high school or college), or make you really appreciate the times you have now (if you haven't).
Overall, I rate this drama a 9.5 because it's not something I could watch over and over again, back to back. And the music, although nice and fitting, doesn't make me want to run and download it. Everything else is pretty much perfect to me. I recommend this drama to everyone honestly. It's really that good. I thoroughly suggest u give it a chance.

The story is decent, but honestly, it's nothing that special. I don't even know what it is that made me genuinely enjoy it, but Lunch Queen left me with a warm, happy feeling.
Lunch Queen is just a feel-good drama. Nothing that outstanding or original about it, but you can count on it to put you in good spirits. The cast was really good and the actor's worked well off each other. The music was very nice and fit well with this drama, but I wouldn't go searching the internet for it to download. This was my second time watching this drama and I still didn't get bored, and I still have the same feelings, so I'd say the rewatch value is pretty good.
Not my favorite jdrama, but one of the good one's for sure.

That quote sums up what this whole drama is about. At first glance, the concept of Zettai Kareshi might seem quite silly or even stupid to most. A robot and a human being falling in love? How dumb does that sound! Well, if you move beyond just the surface and pay close attention to all the layers underneath, you'll discover a truly heartwarming story about how love is the start of all miracles. Anything is possible through love, and this drama is just another showcasing of that.
All of the characters are likeable, my favorite being Night. The acting left nothing to be desired and was pretty believable. The music was excellent and went very nicely with the theme of this drama. Okaeri is one of the most memorable songs I've ever heard in a drama.
Zettai Kareshi/Absolute Boyfriend was the very first Asian drama I ever watched, and it is the one that started my love for Asian dramas. I was feeling nostalgic so I decided to rewatch this drama. This is probably my fourth rewatch, and I feel exactly the same as when I first watched it. Except, now I feel like I have a greater understanding of the message this drama was trying to convey and I absolutely love it.
When I was first rating this drama, I gave it a 9. I couldn't really decide if it deserved a 9 or something higher, so I rewatched it to make up my mind.
I have absolutely no complaints with this drama. None at all. It was just as funny as I remembered, maybe even more so. It is so heartwarming and truly touched my heart. The ending to this drama (and I'm talking about just the drama, not the special) was perfect. PERFECT! I gave the rewatch value a 10 because I could honestly rewatch this drama a hundred times over. And I'm not the type who enjoys rewatching things.
I shed a couple tears at the very end of this drama. My rating is 10/10. If your an asian drama viewer, or even if your not, WATCH IT. It's definitely worth it. Just remember to keep an open mind.
