I only know Gou~Himetachi no Sengoku, can read it up in wiki. It's more focused on the three sisters who married important people, including Gou whose husband is Tokugawa Hidetada. Quite good. It's my first taiga drama.

@truballer - found the movie, downloading. can't wait to watch, looks interesting.

Thanks for the recommendation, will check it out

37-sai de Isha ni Natta Boku aka Kenshui Junjo Monogatari [2012]

watched 4 episodes of it. just OK-ish. a story about 37 y.o man starting his medical residency, with the goal to help his sick fiancee. he's up against conservative superior, always play against a rules, follow his idealistic. this will never be a classic medical drama, too cliche, and i never like the lead actor (always remind me, his role as retarded man several years ago)

Anyone watch ATARU? any review...

Actually it was ok for 1 to 2 episodes, but it gets repetitive that make the story boring.

im going to DL it.. read a good review about it. some say its a good balance between humor /police investigation /mystery.. i'll try watch it but im not hold high hope.. i think a lot police-crime JDrama this spring season.

Toshi Densetsu no Onna
watched the pilot, just OK-ish, just above average, nothing special.. seeing the legs of Nagasawa Masami are beautiful sights, indeed..

i think Ataru (so far i only watched the first episode) and Toshi Densetsu no Onna (im on 6th) are just OK ish..

both are crime-police-mystery-comedy.. try to be funny, some parts are very amusing, some are just plain stupid..

Ataru, story about weird lad, have capability to observe thoroughly a crime scene. got potential.. will try to watch it further.

Toshi Densetsu no Onna, story about sexy and enthusiastic detective (Nagasawa Masami), obsess about urban legends. i watched until 6th episode so far, probably will drop it. the formula are repetitive. ordinary murder case - Otonashi try to link it with urban legend - the others think its not and his superior get mad - Otonashi investigate separately with his male forensic colleague - and the mystery solve. and i dont think its mystery at all (by TV standard, not real world), mostly straight forward murder case.. i watched only because of Nagasawa Masami..

i'll try another JDrama, Legal High..

Legal High, so far im on 3rd episode..

i like it. ive watched not many lawyers JDrama, with trial scenes, the last one probably Hero (thats more than a decade ago)

its funny, but the main character is bit comical. the heroine look less cute with short hair cut..

im watching 4 Jdramas this season, this one probably the one im really enjoying it..

Yeah, Legal High is good. But the main character talks to fast!

TBH, i never like both main actor /actress (just based on their previous works). never take an effort even to remember their names. but i like this show, very funny indeed.. the best (among 5 shows im watching) on going show..

No one watch Kagi no Kakatta Heya? Pretty good show thou...

legal high - 2 episodes.. wait for more episodes

Jin 1 - yeah i know, long time ago drama, only now watch.. very good drama.. korean make a remake

Tokkyu Tanaka 3 Go - finish it a few days ago.

im not noticing Toda Erika have a new series.. will try it..

Toda Erika's look doesn't look good to me. Probably the most boring appearance.

Kagi no Kakatta Heya

watched the pilot. very Conan-esque and Kindaichi-esque (locked room murder). i love that kind of mystery. Toda Erika done nothing, nor cute, nor funny. in her very conservative looks. his boss and boy genius done OK.

but the conclusion /closing of 1st case are really poor. really poor script. very circumstantial 'evidence' (no evidence actually). half decent defense lawyer can defend the culprit afterwards.

i'll give another shot for 1 or 2 episodes..

my current ranking for Spring 2012 (what im watching)
1>Suitei Yuuzai (completed)
2>Legal High
3>Ataru
4>Kagi no Kakatta Heya
5>Toshi Densetsu no Onna (dropped)
6>37-sai de Isha ni Natta Boku ~Kenshui Junjo Monogatari~ (dropped)

any good show to suggest?

Just watched Legal High until ep7. I think this is the best drama for 2012!
I also watch Mirai Nikki but I think there was something just not right in that drama.
I think I will drop this drama.
I also have Kazoku No Uta, but still dont have time to watch.
Is it nice, Kazoku No Uta?

Will try Suitei Yuuzai

currently watching legal high and kaeru no ojou sama
legal high-quite funny..my fav character is the butler tho hehe
kaeru no ojou sama-comedy + musical ish..stumbled upon it while browsing..quite funny to me..didnt know one of the akb48 members starring in the drama..too bad the sub is only till 3rd or 4th epi..they already released till 8th epi i think..waiting

Suitei Yuuzai are mini series (5 episodes)

while u at it, try Bunshin too.. (mini series too, but aired early this year)

JDrama fans need more mini series.. the story normally more compact, not dragging much..

if the series become hit, install a full season..

finished watch Jin 2, IMHO it is one of the best jdorama that i watch. Jin 1 and Jin 2 is simply full of emotion, human value and love. in addition my favourite actress Haruka Ayase in it.. the ending is bittersweet but i love it.

will continue Legal High after this.

Just finish my first mini series drama, Suitei Yuuzai.
Well, it is good human drama.
I love to watch human drama genre type.
It tell about reality problem in life and how they solve it. (malay drama @ movie lack this)
My last human drama before this is freeter, and my unbeatable so far for human drama is 1 liter of tears.
Well, thanks to you and will try Bunshin next.
*just watch legal high ep8, this drama is hilarious
