u should try Utsukushii Rinjin.. im not saying both dramas are similar, but very strong performance by lead character (Nakama Yukie) single handedly made the drama great..
im not watched many Jdramas, compare to early 2000s. probably only 3 or 4 per drama season, so probably 12 this year. but this year 2011, i could say only Utsukushii Rinjin and Kaseifu no Mita deserved to be called very good Jdrama in my book..
i read Lucky Seven synopsis, sounded like Lady (Kitagawa Keiko)
I watched first 2-3 epis of Utsukushii Rinjin then I never continued...maybe I should though, Nakama Yukie I know is pretty good there with her antagonist role.
But for me, the one drama that stood out is Soredemo Ikite Yuku, brilliant performances by both Eita and Mitsushima Nanako. The drama won most of the major awards for the 70th Television Drama Awards, grabbing best actor, best drama, best screenplay. Too bad Mitsushima missed the best actress, really thought she deserved it. Another one would be JIN 2.

ooo i forgot about Jin 2..
the 2nd season perhaps equally good as the 1st one.. but the 2nd one explore more on Japanese history.. so im not really appreciate it..
Tempest also a good epic drama.. Nakama Yukie played a dual role, a beautiful palace concubine and an excellent male diplomat.
No i dont want to be like that.. i dont know what happen in the end (dont tell me!!), but i want to be what Seiji was in the earlier episode, searching, searching, searching ..
And i dont like the side show, Teppei hospitalized lah, mom bullied lah..
the main character (Mita) are OTT.. excellent acting but total non sense, weirdly which make this drama kicking. her doraemon /inspector gadget bag, haha.
the childs actor/es are outstanding. i love the younger brother, the smart one.
the father, Keiichi, looked too young. i love to punch his face, but lately i think it suit him well.
the aunt, Urara, is very annoying but she serving her purpose well..
poor scenes

when Mita try too kill Yui. for someone like her, who've a good agility and focus, killing teenager like Yui are too easy..
I'm still bewildered by the fact that this show gets 25% average rating~ with its final episode over 40%! The only drama in the last 12 years to do so, since Beautiful Life. I guess we should not underestimate the power of Matsushima Nanako. While I hate most of the characters, Mita was the only one I that kept me coming back every week to watch it.
