Gokusen 2 & 3 itself are super boring.. too many similar drama like that (a weird /casual approach from not-so-good /loser teacher and reform bunch of gangster /loser /pathetic students)

Kitagawa Keiko? tq for bringing this up. im not notice she have a new drama.. will give a try..

em, recently i noticed Ayase Haruka as new face /model of SKII (some beauty product) in TV advert. normally they choose HK /Korean /local celebrity.. not sure Malaysian viewer know her.. dont care much, but i adore her..

Just watch this show not too long ago. Very touching story.

Shiroi Haru.

watched this one last night..

Amarufi: Megami No Hoshu [2009] aka Amalfi: Rewards of the Goddess - JMovie

very Hollywood -esque, cat and mouse drama. dont think i like it much. watch it just because the sequels drama, Gaikoukan Kuroda Kosaku aka Diplomat Kuroda Kousaku are airing in Japan now. but ill give a try the drama.

were set Italy, and using 75% Japanese language and the rest Italian /English. make sure you get a proper subtitle.

Just watched Kokuhaku.

Dark and mind blowing.

kokuhaku is definitely a must-watch!! the pacing is good (it does not drag), the CGI looks great (esp the explosion scene at the end) and the acting by the cast is good too. too bad the movie didn't make it in the oscar's nomination list.

the jdramas this season are very average, but i'm watching the monday 9pm drama.

I watch The Quiz Show 2.. stopped in the middle of episode 2 and dropping it.. I expect high for it, it gave me kids material.

oh ya, I also watch Kokuhaku a while back..now that's good.

Damn, just came back to JDorama after like 2 years of no-watching any. Anyone willing to share their top 3 JDorama of 2010 so I can errr...get to watch some awesome one?

definitely will recommend iryu 3

korean drama likeeee

hmmm hard to find nice drama now~~~~

*Sigh* It is recommended to watch iryu 1 and 2 first? Cuz I didn't watch any of them...

not many good drama lately.. JDrama are getting boring these days, shame to say cause im always a big fan..

my recommendations (2010), which i watched:
-Mother : i think this is my favourite. but some might say its too slow, emotional.. thinking of Shiroi Haru (women version). humanity-family drama.
-Liar Game 2 : if u like the 1st season, the 2nd are must watch for continuity. thriller drama.
-Code Blue 2 : if u like the 1st season, the 2nd are must watch for continuity. medical drama.
-Keizoku 2 :SPEC : im not complete it yet (waiting for sub). im not watch the 1st season, but i understood its stand alone season and unrelated to each other. police-crime drama.
-GOLD : im not complete it yet (waiting for sub). sports-romantic-family drama.

mediocre /so-so list:
-Unubore Deka :funny as hell at certain points, recyling story each episodes. police-crime-comedy drama.
-Joker: Japanese Dexter. police-crime drama.
-Atami No Sousakan: mind-baffling, police-crime drama.
-Shinzanmono: police-crime-humanity drama.
-Hotaru No Hikari 2 :too girlish for me.. romantic-comedy drama.

avoid-it-like-plague list:
-Tsuki No Koibito :star studded, i love the casts, but awful drama.. romantic-corporate life drama.

Speaking of SPEC, about the SIT song, when sing until

"OH SHITTO!" that part i almost fell off the chair.

@dundermifflin
Awesome list, I actually watched Tsuki No Koibito since I got it in my PC after I posted in this thread(cast lures me in, especially Kimura Takuya and Lin Chi Ling). Sucky plot but the overall acting is good and music is probably the only awesome thing lolz.

I see a lot crime drama on the list o.0, year 2010 = year of police-crime?

I guess I will watch Liar Game first. Then maybe Mother cuz I got a soft spot on such type of drama, I remember like N years ago I watched a drama(Should be Japan's) about a lizard-humanoid mother that hate her own daughter(which inherit her lizard trait) or sort and I still remember the theme until now.

i think Liar Game 1&2 its the only JDrama in recent years that i can endure watch it back-to-back (marathon watch).. cause it contain a lot suspense /cliff hanger moments, on their own way /style.. quite a unique and very comic-esque drama (originally from manga).

i love the 1st season very much, but in the 2nd season, u can always predict /expect the plots /bluffs /twists.. still a good season though.. and make sure u watch the movie too (after the season 2)
