Let us know your favorite Japanese Drama classics!

[nedjoe]

The title should be "J-Drama Beginner's Pack"

[OnlyMusic]

Hana Kimi literally raised me. That drama gave me more joy in my life than I can ever explain. Seriously a gem!!

[xXTrakkStarrXx]

Oguri Shun dominating this list hahaha. Love him so much

[AirAnimeAngel]

Hana Yori Dango is the *golden standard* of manga adaptations and, at the same time, maybe due to nostalgia, will always be the BEST Jdrama for me.✨Love Lasts Forever and A Story to Read When You First Fall in Love are more recent, instant classics for me.

[safi]

that moment when you realized you already watched all of these....

[prisciliamellark]

Hanakimi was top tier, I never understand how a live-action version was more comical than the comic version itself...
Hanakimi was so timeless, even the camera quality of it was so much better than jdrama usual camera quality

[fallzero]

The thing I love about Jdrama is it's not as polished as Kdramas
Hear me out
Most of the things that are shown in kdramas (except for few dramas like startup, Itaewon class, Signal etc) are over exaggerated and sometimes overwhelmingly cringe but I guess that's the charm which gets us hooked to it
Now Jdramas are a different thing
The lighting, the color grain, acting and most of the aesthetics tries to stay as much closer to the source material or how things usually happens at japan
That's what gets hooked me to Jdramas so much, it covers the authenticity of the environment pretty neat and original and actors emotions are so great

My youth in 8 minutes. I used to binge these doramas in my teens, trying to download these back then was a nightmare, internet in the 00's was something else

[usagiseyia]

One liter of tears was my very first Japanese drama. I cried in almost all the episodes. And when I rewatch it. I still cry!! It’s so sad!!!

[jomi]

"One drama to rule them all." Yep, Hana Yori Dango is superior! MatsuJun & Inoue Mao's chemistry is unmatched!

[lilacworld]

Moral of the story :-
Oguri shun, Yuki furukawa and Jun Matsumoto are the best!!❤️❤️

[boutux]

The only drama I haven't watched in this list and I refuse to watch is 1000 Liters of tears. I'm not into sad, depressing shows so that one is a no.

J-drama classics = anything Kimutaku starred in in the late 90s and early 00s.

[johansakib]

I'll never forget 1 litre of tears

[shiningjewel]

Not one mention of any dorama with Kimutaku??? Can you be trusted? He is an ICON! The Long Vacation. Love Generation. Beautiful Life. Hero. Pride. Mr. Brain. BG Personal Bodyguard. You can make a vid off of his dramas alone! Takuya Kimura is a legend. Also, I love the Beach Boys series. Great coming of age story!

[fangirlofawesomeness]

Some of my favorites is:

Yamato nadeshiko shichi henge
Atashinchi no Danshi
Buzzer Beat
Tumbling
Just to name a few....😜

[kasvinimuniandy]

Nobuta wo Produce was so meaningful and an important part of me growing up... it really taught me a lot about life.
