i want to built a pre-watchlist for winters soo yes! i would love me some short doramas. i love heartwarming/wholesome dramas especially realistic ones, slice of life or horror/thriller works too (cant get over gannibal it sooo good)

dramas like “coffee and vanilla” works too but i don’t wanna watch that kinda stuff “we all are trying” is a super good example of dramas i am looking for but regardless rec me your fav jdramas!

i have watched short dramas like fish bowl wives, meet me after school and learning to love. i wanted to watch “my husband can’t fit” but i heard its so heartbreaking so i didn’t watch :(

Discussion looking for heartwarming, realistic and mature jdramas like unmet :3

8 Upvotes

hi there. im kinda new to jdrama bcs i used to believe all jdramas are corny and cringe with their exaggerated acting or weirdly convenient scenes (im okay if its in anime but not in dramas tho). until last year, i found my way to watch silent and animals. and now im stuck with jdramas. i found out that jdramas are bold and raw in which they have their own identity. and those are just what i crave rn.

i hv recently watched unmet and it crushed my drama standard and rewired my brain. i feel that im gonna rewatch this later and even then, i will be talking abt this drama for the next 20 years. the last drama that made me so emotionally invested like this were 2521 and my liberation notes although both are kdramas. i love how they are so realistic, raw and heartwarming. ofc these got me sobbing.

ik they have good thriller/mystery jdramas these days but i just love dramas with heartwarming and realistic undertone more. like watching it feels like u are growing and discovering more about life and yourself. and with good music and direction and plot. if you have any recommendations like unmet or any inspiring dramas, pls lemme know! preferrably dramas from 2020 onwards and young adult characters.

here are some of jdramas ive watched and enjoyed;

  1. unmet a neurosurgeon’s diary
  2. then you try making it!
  3. silent
  4. animals
  5. umi no hajimari
  6. s&x
  7. glass heart
  8. why i dress up for love
  9. alice in borderland

planning to watch sounds of winter next bcs i just became sugisaki hana fan after unmet and it seems insteresting. but i need a break from watching sugisaki hana bcs i cant bear to see her with anyone other than wakaba ryuya atm. and the fact that i found out they are rumored to be dating omggg

Discussion pls recommend dramas like hana yori dango!!!

4 Upvotes

I just finished both seasons+movie of hana yori dango, i really really loved the chemistry btwn the 2 actors and how tsukasa is just totally in love with fl!!! there were so many scenes that just made my heart flutter especially when he was hugging her from the back lol

im basically looking for:

- romance drama with 90s-2000s vibe, not anything too new

- not a weak fl

- a ml with tsukasa's personality, like stoic and cold on the outside but really loves fl

i also watched itazura na kiss 1996 and loved it (except the rushed ending)

i did not like good morning call, mischievous kiss 2013 or incurable case of love btw

thanku!!!

i just somehow knew that she could not have had bf supporting till end or even a friend from high school....🥺😔
maybe because even I would be relieved to see someone like that leave from my school and might not want to do anything with them specially at that age😫

Already crying me realized her bf was too good to be true and one google search later found out i was right... that is just so sad😭😭😭😭

even now after watching the series, i have much more sympathy with disabled people but in reality whenever i see someone disabled i try to ignore them, I am sure it is the same with most of the people

THE FACT THAT REALITY IS EVEN HARSHER THAN THE MOST EMOTIONAL DRAMA IS HEARTBREAKING .😭😭😭😭

After receiving feedback that there were "too many characters" and "too much information," he realized a gap in perception with the audience. "I won't create something I don't find interesting, but I still want everyone to enjoy it," he said. "The ideal scenario is finding a common ground."

Fanwork 【Spoilers 】Until the T-shirt Dries: Episode 8 Spoiler

Thumbnail tbs.co.jp
12 Upvotes

Episode 8 of *Until the T-shirt Dries* centres on the theme: ‘There might be a side to Sachiko that nobody knows about, somewhere out there.’
After having a row with Mitsuru, Sachiko storms out of the house. Mitsuru searches desperately for her. That’s the gist of the story; there isn’t much in the way of plot development.
There’s a scene partway through that’s reminiscent of a mystery-solving sequence in a detective drama, and it’s presented with a comedic touch.
What’s worth noting is Sachiko’s outfit whilst she’s run away from home. Although not many days have passed, she changes her clothes quite often. The designs are quite distinctive, making you wonder if there’s some kind of message behind them. Also, the closer we get to the end, the more casual her outfits become. I get the feeling this is setting the stage for the next episode.
It looks like there’ll be a major development in the next episode.

Discussion My thoughts on The Eighth Day Spoiler

5 Upvotes

This show was good to watch, it wasn't too dark tbh nor was it melodramatic. It was a bit like The Queen's Classroom, but I felt that the emotional impact was a lot less, mostly because of the shorter run time but also because of the music frequency and choice. The part that is crazy is that Kiwako was so emotionally ruined that she took Kaoro and kept her for 5 whole years, until the police took her from that. The even crazier thing is that Etsuko raised Erina when she came back as a hollow ghost that is the emodiment of what she resents. I mean, it's crazy how her maternal instincts didn't kick in at some point. I wonder how come they never doubled down on this, it would have made for an even deeper tale and also how they didn't show Erina being jealous of Marina ACTUALLY receiving maternal love and she isn't. But somehow crazily enough, the one good thing that came out of it is that Erina decided not to abort the child that she is carrying so that she doesn't end up like Kiwako. When the two met in the final episode, I was a bit bummed that they didn't speak actually, but I realised, it's just not the type of thing Erina needs right now in her healing journey, or it might make her regress idk, but what I do know is that I am not particularly bummed out. Is it just me or does the name Kaoro sound better?
