Japanese live-action dramas?

[Momorin]

wait wait wait! I might list many... if you don't mind???

-You're beautiful- a korean drama about a sister-in-training who suddenly has to disguise herself as a man and join a boy band
-Goong- about a commoner betrothed to Korea's prince who is in love with another girl
-If you are interested in gender benders how bout hana kimi taiwan or japanese ver. I preferred the japanese since the taiwan's ending is a crap.
-Great Teacher Onizuka is nice too. two thumbs up!
-Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge is also nice. It stands like a second season for the anime though....
-NANA. I really love the live action X3

Don't get Nana 2, the cast changed from the first and they are not nearly as good. I got my dvd from Netflix (they have a lot of foreign films from Japan and Korea). Plus, most of the character development is in Nana 1 while Nana 2 is more like a cheezy soap opera (the drama was much better translated in the anime than the movie).

Ah, Netflix. I always forget it exists. I had no idea about them having foreign films. I guess my only experience with Netflix is from waaaaaay back in the day when you could only get a few mainstream movies. Meh. Thanks for the advice about Nana 2. ^_^ I will not waste my time.

try watching the "train -man" story centres on an otaku geeky itself

I HAVE seen this!!! @___@ I went on this weird "I want to watch Japanese movies" kick and that was the first one we watched. I actually own it. ^_^ It's adorable!

Aaaahhh... this show is currently aired in my local TV station and I love it (it's one of the only few Korean dramas that I watched faithfully every episodes)... although here, I don't know why, the title is changed to "He's beautiful".

Actually it would air soon in our local TV network too. But i've already watched it in cable(TBS network specifically)so I'm more used to referring it to You're beautiful. ^_^

Also, you cannot say dorama and forget to mention this guilty pleasure. It's an experience one should definitely not miss!

If you're a romantic comedy gender-bender kind of person, you might want to check out 'The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince'. It's a Korean drama, and it's super cute. Yay for the "OMG AM I GAY?!?! Oh wait, it's a girl!" kind of stories

Agreed, Coffee Prince is my favourite dorama so far, by far! The character development was amazing, and no one does drama like these actors~
