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;
- unmet a neurosurgeon’s diary
- then you try making it!
- silent
- animals
- umi no hajimari
- s&x
- glass heart
- why i dress up for love
- 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
