Saikou no rikon, Date [ LOVED both of these], A restaurant with many problems [awesome drama with a gang of girls, All about my siblings, Boku unmei no hito desu, We married as a job. I loved the first four the most, but saikou, date, and boku unmei are more romance oriented, rest are a bit general? If you are into mystery genre, let me know.
Oh kazoku game is great too! I have seen nothing like this in my life lol.
On the romance genre, want to add ‘rich man, poor woman’. I got my new crush Shun Oguri while watching this one lol.
Also for any of the romances, do any of them have a decent amount of skinship/kissing/ect.? I hate it when so many j-romances I’ve seen wait until the last ep. for the characters to date and gives them like one super chaste kiss lol.
Actually jdramas don’t have much of skinships. Like their idea of romance is still very much vocal and less anything physical, so you will be disappointed if you want something like KDramas. There are these new dramas which you could check out for more romances since they are mostly based on romance theme I think :
Hapimari
Please love the useless me
Seisei Suruhodo, Aishiteru
Tokyo tarareba musume (loved this one)
I’m taking the day off
Public affairs office in the sky(yui aragaki is cute)
Love shuffle
The reason I can’t find my love
If you want to see romance, I think Japanese movies have covered quite a lot of it, there are lot of live action movies which don’t disappoint. One of the recent one that I loved has to be ‘Orange’.
In case of action, Nobunaga Concerto was great, a bit of a time travel drama, but it was a mad ride, though the ending was a bit sad. Also the ones I have watched:
Hard nut (one genius scientist girl and a police officer works tofethr to solve cases, loved their camaraderie. The girl’s crush on the officer was so cute!)
Border, ( shun oguri) a bit dark but it’s a critically acclaimed one I heard. Though I haven’t finished it yet so can’t tell how it went.
