I know this movie isn't about Lilico ab*sing Hada but i often see how people react to such actions from other characters, i didn't expect me to be the only one who also felt bad for Hada idk

While going through an obsessive binge of Everything Matsuzaka Tori, I have come across fans praising this drama in MDL. It was a struggle, trying to find a stream site that has this one, because despite being a 2025 release, this drama is notoriously rare. I finally found it and gave it a watch.

It is a very dialogue heavy, heavy contextual show that might not hook everyone in. I found it relatable because of my exposure with bureaucrats in my own life. The subject matter, pacing, acting, cinematography-all of it were stellar. I really wish they rerun it. It is so good, yet so hard to find.

10/10 J-dorama.

Hello everyone! I’m new into the JDorama world, so I would love some recommendations. However I have a very specific type, it must be:

- Food related somehow
- Woman protagonist
- Not very recent, I like the image of the 90/00/10’s shows

For example the two shows that I watched and loved are The queen of the lunchtime cuisine and The pride of the temp.

If there are any other shows with the same vibe, please let me know :)

Yoo guys! Please suggest me some good Jdrama that are available on netflix, it could be any genre! Thanks appreciate it.

What the heck kind of beginning was that 😱 We went from the ML running in the rain to a retelling of the MLs life watching the FL from childhood to adulthood and then we see a bloody knife being involved 😵

Here are my thoughts on *Grand Airport ~GATE24~*, which premiered today.
While it features a cast of distinctive actors, starting with Shuri, there isn’t much action, and the story unfolds in a rather matter-of-fact manner. There are almost no scene changes. The story progresses primarily through discussions among the same characters in the same location. It feels like a mystery drama. There’s a plot twist at the end. The conclusion was unexpected and surprised me. The ending is wonderful. However, since the overall tone is rather subdued, it seems likely that many viewers will lose interest partway through. The next episode seems to involve a time bomb incident, so it might get a little more interesting.

I haven't watched much this year; Saikai was pretty interesting but I really disliked the ending, Ginga no ippyou was really good though not exceptional. I'm watching Midnight Taxi and will probably continue it but overall I'm feeling kinda meh this year. That's about all I've watched for 2026.

What are some dramas so far this year that have made you go WOW?

I am looking for like a general ancient war type show have watched kingdom the anime and some cdramas of this category any good japanese shows available?

I'm thrilled but are they only releasing the 2024 movie, not the drama seasons?? Maybe I'm being geoblocked?

hey all,

my working knowledge of japanese shows all come from netflix and i would appreciate your recommendations!

i understand that there's more i need to discover as I feel like i've barely even scratched the surface, and that being said:

the shows that i've liked so far:

hibana spark, GTO, extremely inappropriate, alice in borderland,

here are some stuff that i do like:

movies: inception, beauty inside, menace 2 society,

shows: the bear, westworld, dark, snow piercer, narcos, alice in borderland, league of legends arcane, game of thrones, hannibal

animes/mangas: hikaru no go, vinland sagas, violet evergarden, frieren, GTO

kdramas: hospital playlist, hotel de luna, stranger, Deserter Pursuit, itaewon class

Just saw the first ep of the new series, was a decent first episode but Jdramas. Acting performance of the support cast especially Kenta was awful, i cringed at his scenes especially at the end.

Crossposting because I wanted to hear what this community thinks.

I genuinely think Kiss That Kills is Kento Yamazaki's most underrated performance. His portrayal of Otaro Dojima is still my favorite role of his, and I don't think it gets nearly enough recognition.

Anyone knows where to watch 俺の話は長い? I’ve tried using hulu jp but I don’t think it’s possible..

Okay, so I... tonally don't think I'm understanding Human Vapor. For the first 5 episodes, it was playing as melodrama with pretty few, if any, moments of humor - very self important, very overtly serious aside from poking fun at the failing youtubers.

Then in episode 5 a "tense" scene between two men deeply entrenched in the yakuza settle a bet with a bowling challenge.

On the face of it, okay, that's fine, it's a dramatic thing to say "hey do this perfectly or we'll shoot you, high stakes etc" but then the scene erupts into an 80s style montage with lens flare and wild coloring - climaxing in this mobster randomly being a bowling savant, and somehow that earns an insane amount of, idk, street cred? And he's straight up dancing after he does it?

The entire scene shift I was audibly saying to my partner "what the hell is going on? I- what?"

Can someone explain?

Hi all! Looking for a good J drama for my Japanese learning, my wife is Japanese and I am practicing as much as possible and I’m hoping watching Japanese shows will help too! Something similar to the Kdrama filing for love would be great! Thank you!!

Do you happen to know about any? I'd love to join. Except for straight romance, I watch pretty much anything that I find interesting. Thanks!

So i finished i will find you and on my recomendation this came up im looking for something fast paced and thriller twist and turns is this worth watching or overhyped?

Guys anybody have toonshorts dramas free link thx

Where can I download these movies? Also, is there any website where I can download old Japanese movies?

Hii didn't think of anywhere else to post this lol. I'd like to know abt your opinion, I hope ppl who have watched Hana-Kimi (2007 version) can tell me what they think ab It.

(Sorry if I say something wrong, I speak spanish lol)

can anyone recommend me shows like good luck?

something that doesn’t have a complex plot and doesn’t have a lot of episodes. a slice of life but isn’t depressing.

would appreciate it if it’s on netflix

thank you :)

I've been chasing that same emotional high but haven't found many that hit the same way. Looking for mature, character-driven J-dramas with subtle romance and strong writing - preferably from the 2000–2011 era.

Any hidden gems you'd recommend?
