For some reason, I thought of Matsumoto jun when I read this ( ads were playing) his face popped up in my head and I was about to tell you a fun fact about gokusen but then came to the realization I was incorrect lol
Go watch Ouroboros. Heheh. Prepare a truckload of tissues too & also to immediately binge watch something very happy like Sesame Street or Spongebob Squarepants 🤣🤣🙈
Hana Yori Dango is the *golden standard* of manga adaptations and, at the same time, maybe due to nostalgia, will always be the BEST Jdrama for me.✨Love Lasts Forever and A Story to Read When You First Fall in Love are more recent, instant classics for me.
Hey! Can you suggest me some jdramas? I have only watched love lasts forever so yeah! Can a little bit recent and also where can i watch them! Please!!!
@@meghranjani6634 Sure!Apart from Love Lasts Forever, some of my recent faves are also Kahogo no Kahoko, Switched and like I mentioned, A Story To Read When You First Fall in Love. Pretty sure you can find them all on Dramacool or KissAsian!
The thing I love about Jdrama is it's not as polished as Kdramas Hear me out Most of the things that are shown in kdramas (except for few dramas like startup,Itaewon class,Signal etc) are over exaggerated and sometimes overwhelmingly cringe but I guess that's the charm which gets us hooked to it Now Jdramas are a different thing The lighting,the color grain, acting and most of the aesthetics tries to stay as much closer to the source material or how things usually happens at japan That's what gets hooked me to Jdramas so much,it covers the authenticity of the environment pretty neat and original and actors emotions are so great
Actually that's not kdrama or Jdrama thing. It depends on the story and original source it was adopted from. Jdrama adopted from manga are also very exaggerated as kdramas adopted from webtoons, and grounded in reality those that are about everyday life and people. I used to love jdrama from the 90's but not latest ones so much. The story is rather plain and often tend to lecture the auduence about life. In terms of acting i feel jdrama today falls really short. Too many jpop idols who cant act to save themselves getting leading roles. All the top actors and actresses are either old or not getting the opportunities they deserve.
This is what I believe makes Jdrama more CLASSIC. The kdrama style always tries to be trending, popular, in style and then when trends and fashions change they quickly become OUT OF STYLE. This is the outcome for both.
@@ZS89908 what are you talking about? Jdrama is completely out of style compared to its height in the 80's and early 90's. Its movies too which once upon a time produced influentual works by legendary directors. You are so out of touch.
Hanakimi was top tier, I never understand how a live-action version was more comical than the comic version itself... Hanakimi was so timeless, even the camera quality of it was so much better than jdrama usual camera quality
@@LorwynnIsLeeroying i love how when he did his monologue, people at the background notice him being weird by himself 🤣 hanakimi is the kind of drama where something at the background might be funnier than the actual scene
I agree it's a heart warming drama but you all should watch KAMISAMA MOU SUKOSHI DAKE or PRECIOUS TIME,,, it's also as heavy as 1 liters of tears.... It's a controversial drama that breaks all rules of japanese standard drama series in all aspects that shapes of what it is up to now... And the most intriguing fact is a Leading Lady is just only 15 years old at that time when she does this drama...
My youth in 8 minutes. I used to binge these doramas in my teens, trying to download these back then was a nightmare, internet in the 00's was something else
Itazura na Kiss is the most “anime” live action I’ve watched on Netflix. It’s just a guilty pleasure of mine. Plus the male lead is legit fluent in English. 💕✨
Not that old yet, but 1. Watashitachi wa douka shiteiru/Cursed in love 2. Sumika Sumire 3. Koi wa Tsuzuku yo/Love lasts forever 4. 37 seconds (movie) and maybe Todome no kissu, which I just begun
One box of tissue isn’t enough. That show was exhausting. I was crying so bad each episode that I could only watch 1 episode a day. My eyes were so swollen when i was watching it.
yeah. this list seems to be mostly for people into teen dramas. i'm watching code blue 3 atm. just seen the episode with the miscarriage. i was never interested in those 2 characters for the first 2 and a half series, but that was some powerful acting that episode.
Not one mention of any dorama with Kimutaku??? Can you be trusted? He is an ICON! The Long Vacation. Love Generation. Beautiful Life. Hero. Pride. Mr. Brain. BG Personal Bodyguard. You can make a vid off of his dramas alone! Takuya Kimura is a legend. Also, I love the Beach Boys series. Great coming of age story!
Perhaps for most people nowadays those dramas cannot be called classic dramas anymore, but ancient dramas. Can you be trusted? what drama is it? I never heard Takuya was in that drama before? Btw Takuya's drama nowadays does not hold water, his acting is still great, the production crew directing and all was great too but the storyline was average. The last Takuya drama which left a mark on my memories is from the classic which you had named before and up to Change & Mr. Brain. After that, the story was just OK. Yeah, Beach Boys is such a great drama too. Those two guys can talk about shit in that drama but I still can be hooked to the screen.
This list is spot on. I watched all of them already..but i have to say 1 litre of tears is just a TRUE MASTERPIECE,from the plot,the characters and the ost. No matter how many times i watched it, i will always go back and rewatch it again and again. Truly a beautiful slice of life,tragedy and family drama.
I thought i was a kdrama junkie... But i've also watched 8/10 of these japanese dramas... damn... But i love the classics :3 Especially kimi wa petto, boys over flowers and hana kimi were my favorites :3
Definitely all classics. Among the ones that were named, my favorite favorite out of all of them is "Liar Game". So much psychological suspense in that drama. It was very well adapted.
Hana Yori Dango/Boys Over Flowers is my favorite drama eveeeer! I love it so so so much, I've seen it hundred of times since several years ago and I cannot get tired of it.
I've watched almost all of these!! And loves them! Oh, how nostalgic! They reminded me so much of my younger days where I binge watched all of these every week! Thanks for this! I cannot decide which one of my favourite but below is those that I liked and not in the list: Code blue Buzzer beat Proposal daisakusen Nodame Cantabile Mop Girl Orthros no inu Attention Please Ryusei No Kizuna My Boss My Hero Seigi No Mikata
I love my boss my hero. The comedy is pure gold, sometimes is cringed. But most of the time is entertaining and crack laugh. And the most thing is aragaki yui is soo pure in here, a different characters when she is in dragon zakura. But her best performance is in papa to musume no nanokakan.
My list without the high school setting: Date - What is Love Orange days Beautiful Life Summer Snow Long Vacation Stay at home dad He Who Can't Marry Seven days of a Daddy and Daughter freeter, le wo kau Unhandy Handyman
Hana kimi is literally the funniest series I've ever seen 😂😂 i still watch the scene cuts on youtube until now and it never fails to make me laugh, pls watch it!!
Hana Yori Dango was my favorite version of Boys over Flowers. I loved Jun Matsumoto, Mao Inoue and Oguri Shun. I loved Gokusen too, there were so many of the well known actors of today that was in the few seasons of that too like Jun Matsumoto, Oguri Shun, the wonderful and stunning Kazuya Kamenashi, the late Haruma Miura, gorgeous Jin Akanishi and so many more. Those are the top 2 for me, but I need to mention Todome No Kiss (loved the plot) and A Story to Read When You First Fall in Love (mainly because of Ryusei Yokohama who I adore)
I remember crying my eyes out watching 1 litre of tears ! It really was one of the best jdramas out there. I can recommend you this one : Flowers for Algernon. I love this drama !
Why is no one talking about “Long Vacation”?That was one of the best drama of the century.A drama which taught us to find happiness in our own way within ourself instead of hoping it to come from someone else.A drama about the journey, not the destination.
From that era, there are a lot of gold quality jdrama like tokyo love story, ordinary people, ordinary people, under the same roof, anything for you, and a lot more. That good old drama i still rewatch it sometimes. Except "anything for you", because i can't found it everywhere.
I have seen several Japanese and Korean dramas, but none compare to 1 Litre of Tears. I've seen it 7 times already, and am getting ready to rewatch it in a few weeks.
Baru nonton tahun 2020, memorable banget apalagi ending ost-nya, berasa kehilangan temen terbaik dan menghilang selama 15 tahun, terngiang-ngiang sama ost endingnya
My favourite J-drama is obviously Love Lasts Forever !!! Since it was broadcasted in HK in March, I am crazily in love with it. Even it's been 8 months after it finished, I still watch it online almost twice a month!!! Really wanted to buy the DVD but can't find it in HK :(
If 2010 is old enough to qualify as classic, I highly recommend Mother, the breakout of the then superb child actress, Mana Ashida. In 2009, there is the first season of Midnight Diner (Shinya Shokudo). Those are the only ones I can think of from 2010 or earlier that I’ve seen that are pretty good. I’ve seen most of the ones featured also.
I've watched almost all these jdramas since my younger days.....n i can say i love them all...maybe it's not everyone thing but japanese has unique charm which is different from other cultures....bof, hanakimi, mischievous kiss, nodame n gokusen are among the best classis ever! but the 90s n early 2000s japanese are the GOLD.....
"Great Teacher Onizuka" (1998). Great show, very entertaining. Lead actor does a great job, good music, some hilarious scenes and some heartbreaking ones. It's up there with Gokusen, in my opinion.
I just finished Nodame cantabile and honestly it was one of the best dramas I've seen. I had just finished Love last forever and that one was recommended to me. Really enjoyed it.
I waited for a Kimutaku classic here, but no mention of even one. Long Vacation, Beautiful Life, Love Generation, and HERO are great classics he starred in.
Others that not on the list that you should definitely watch Maou Zenkai girl Great teacher onizuka Bambino Tokyo dogs Papa to musume no nanokakan My boss my hero 1 pound gospel Kurosagi Zettai kareshi Mei chan no shitsuji Engine Good life arigato papa sayonara Dream again If you want to go back to the early 90’s Tokyo cinderella is so so so so awesome!!!! My first ever jdrama that makes me swoon. Heaven’s coin
OMG! Papa to musume no nanokakan! My boss my hero! So nostalgic! Also Bambino! I had forgotten about it! I'd add Binbo danshi, with Oguri Shun and Buzzer Beat with Yamashita Tomohisa...
My personal faves were not in the list: Long Vacation Hoshi no Kinka Hitotsu Yane No Shita Beach Boys Love Generation Asunaro Hakusho Hero Operation Daisakusen Bloody Monday Beautiful Life Please try these ones too! :)
I’ve seen them all (more than once) except for Liar Game. Adding to my to-do list now lol. Thanks for this. And yes... every one of these is a classic that anyone interested in J-Dramas should check out. Totally recommended!! Hana Kimi and Hana Yori Dango were the first J-Dramas (actually... Asian dramas in general) I ever watched. I watched them at the same time and switched between them. So nostalgic!
from the theme song to the story of 1 litre of tears it definitely made me cry more than I ever cry on any movie so definitely bring lots of tissues with you when you watch it
This is a great list. Nobuta wo Produce is one of my favorites of all time. What a way to tug at your heartstrings with some beautiful moments of friendship & the pain of growing up. For other jdramas, I also highly recommend Utahime and Love Shuffle
My two favorite has to be Nobuta wo Produce and 1 liter of tears. Damn... 1 litre of tears DEMOLISHED me, it's probably the show that made me cry the most in my entire life.
I almost never watch Japanese dramas (more of a kdrama kinda gal) but todome no kiss is one of my favorite dramas of all time, I think it's so underrated
I just realized, I am a Jdrama addict because I already watched all the drama series in the list. 🤭❤👍 Gokusen (3 series) plus movie Mischievous Kiss (had watched the Taiwanese Version too) Hanazakari Kimitachi e (You will love all the characters from the main to the supporting) Hana yori dango ( love the actors here) Nobuta wo Produce ( Nobuta Power!!) Switch Girl ❤ Liar Game ( Interesting drama series) 1 litre of tears ( you need to prepare a box of tissue) Rich Man, Poor Woman ( Oguri Shun!!! ❤) Kimi wa Petto ( MatsuJun from Arashii once again 😍 )
I can’t believe Nodame Cantabile aka the best Japanese drama of all time is not here!!!!!! Also has anyone else watched Tumbling before? Such a hidden gem IMO😭💫
Gokusen, Hana Kimi, Nobuta wo Produce, Switch Girl, Rich Man Poor Woman 🥰🥰 My first Jdrama is Gokusen and still my favorite and the reason why I'm a teacher now.
The Jdramas you shared are so extremely old. I prefer Mr Brain, Bon Appetit (Gochisosan), Dinner, Legal High series, Doctor X, Legal V, Wise & Foolish, CRISIS Special Security Squad, BG Body Guard 1 & 2, Border and Border Redemption.
The real classic for me are Tokyo Love Story, News no Onna, and Beautiful Life... Watched them when I was still little but they left great impression. But yea these ones are very memorable for me sunce I watched them during high school-Uni days. Nobuta especially rekindled my love for Jdrama
Saw them all of course :) 1 litre of tears in my all time favorite Jdrama. Still after all those years. I watched Nobuta wo Produce first and that 1 litre of tears.
I really I admit this, JAPAN was the one and only the ORIGINAL from those Anime and Manga Based one... My Dramalist has one of my very most trustable and lovable channel, because they search the facts and the real ones...than other like--- Nevermind.... others are putting the wrong edges about the facts

Matsumoto jun also!
Nobunaga Concerto
Genjiiiiiiiiiiiii
Go watch Ouroboros. Heheh. Prepare a truckload of tissues too & also to immediately binge watch something very happy like Sesame Street or Spongebob Squarepants 🤣🤣🙈
Hana Kimi literally raised me. That drama gave me more joy in my life than I can ever explain. Seriously a gem!!

The thing I love about Jdrama is it's not as polished as Kdramas
Hear me out
Most of the things that are shown in kdramas (except for few dramas like startup,Itaewon class,Signal etc) are over exaggerated and sometimes overwhelmingly cringe but I guess that's the charm which gets us hooked to it
Now Jdramas are a different thing
The lighting,the color grain, acting and most of the aesthetics tries to stay as much closer to the source material or how things usually happens at japan
That's what gets hooked me to Jdramas so much,it covers the authenticity of the environment pretty neat and original and actors emotions are so great
well explained !

LoL, couldnt agree more
Some recommendations pls ?
@@perhaps7591 From Five to Nine, Paradise Kiss, Drowing Love, Kids on the Slope, Buzzer Beat (^_^)
@@emeraldabyss1 arigato! :) :)
@@emeraldabyss1 love 5 to 9 btw!!
Hanakimi was top tier, I never understand how a live-action version was more comical than the comic version itself...
Hanakimi was so timeless, even the camera quality of it was so much better than jdrama usual camera quality
I look forward to Nakatsu's monologues every episode. I choke on my own saliva just for laughing so hard.
@@LorwynnIsLeeroying i love how when he did his monologue, people at the background notice him being weird by himself 🤣 hanakimi is the kind of drama where something at the background might be funnier than the actual scene
It's so funny! I reaaaally love it! 🤣🤣🤣
Yes.. I agree. Nakatsu's monologue is the best part I can't stop laughing
It was what really got me into Jdramas. I watched it because of Oguri Shun but Ikuta Toma’s Nakatsu was just amazing.
One liter of tears was my very first Japanese drama. I cried in almost all the episodes. And when I rewatch it. I still cry!! It’s so sad!!!
same, I cried so hard at each episode. The worst part is that it's from a true story... One of the saddest drama I watched.
its like clannad after story where i cried in almost every episode 😭😭😭
I agree it's a heart warming drama but you all should watch KAMISAMA MOU SUKOSHI DAKE or PRECIOUS TIME,,, it's also as heavy as 1 liters of tears.... It's a controversial drama that breaks all rules of japanese standard drama series in all aspects that shapes of what it is up to now... And the most intriguing fact is a Leading Lady is just only 15 years old at that time when she does this drama...
So memorable.. I cried so hard in this drama so painful.
I cant remember my first jdrama...but im sure its anime/manga adapted
My youth in 8 minutes. I used to binge these doramas in my teens, trying to download these back then was a nightmare, internet in the 00's was something else
Had to jump through all sorts of hoops. But it was worth it.
that moment when you realized you already watched all of these....
I seen boys over flowers sad aya and itazura na kiss love in tyoko. not the others
I watched all seasons of gokusen. And they're really good
where did you watch it?
Yesss, such a classic 😆
@@taranor5274 try kissasian
It felt like an inferior imitation of GTO.
it's a great series. but for me, all the memorable episodes and characters are in the first series. after that it's just business as usual.
Moral of the story :-
Oguri shun , Yuki furukawa and Jun Matsumoto are the best!!❤️❤️
Dont forget Ikuta Toma 🥰
@@madsci1210 ofcourse ❤️
JUUUUUUN🥰🥰😍😍😍😍
Yasssssss and Yamapi🥰

6. Bitter blood
7. Hanzawa Naoki

1,8&9 I think I replayed it more thank 4x
Agree I mostly already watch of your lists 👍
138 for me
Which genre is this??
I have seen Zettai Kareshi. Hanzawa Naoki and Buzzer Beat from this list. They were indeed stellar too.
The only drama I haven't watched in this list and I refuse to watch is 1000 Liters of tears. I'm not into sad, depressing shows so that one is a no.
I read the book and it’s really sad :/
Geez, I cried on this so much when i was in high school.
I watched that and it's good but i cried a lot
You do good, the drama is one of the bests ever in my opinion, but literally, I cried in every chapter jajajaajaj
It's the only one I haven't seen as well. I can't watch sad things, I cry even with the happy ones.
Some of my favorites is:
Yamato nadeshiko shichi henge
Atashinchi no Danshi
Buzzer Beat
Tumbling
Just to name a few....😜
I loved Yamato nadeshiko shichi henge. It was hilarious!
I also saw Yamoto Nadeshiko, but the manga is better I think.
I loved the live action for Yamato! Really wish they would make an updated version.
Nobuta wo Produce was so meaningful and an important part of me growing up... it really taught me a lot about life.
SAME
one of my forever favorite! no matter how many times I watch it, I still cry at the end. love their friendship, very well developed chemistry
Where can I watch it?
@@illuminatedonions366 you can watch it for free on sites like Dramacool or Kissasian (The weird names lol)
Is it happy ending???
Itazura na Kiss is the most “anime” live action I’ve watched on Netflix. It’s just a guilty pleasure of mine. Plus the male lead is legit fluent in English. 💕✨
Is the live action better than the anime tho? I hate the anime cuz the lead is annoying and has no dignity imo
Its my guilty pleasure too. Idk how many times have I watched the live action 😂
Itazura na Kiss is the really the best and enjoyable version of the anime...
Totally agreed. I hav seen all its various remakes..multiple times too....
I've only got into ItaKiss last year and now it's up there with HanaDan as my most favorite J-dramas. 💗
Not that old yet, but
1. Watashitachi wa douka shiteiru/Cursed in love
2. Sumika Sumire
3. Koi wa Tsuzuku yo/Love lasts forever
4. 37 seconds (movie)
and maybe Todome no kissu, which I just begun
Bro sumika sumire was amazing!❤️
"One drama to rule them all." Yep, Hana Yori Dango is superior! MatsuJun & Inoue Mao's chemistry is unmatched!
I'll never forget 1 litre of tears
Did you cry a litre of tears too?
One box of tissue isn’t enough. That show was exhausting. I was crying so bad each episode that I could only watch 1 episode a day. My eyes were so swollen when i was watching it.
My first jdrama crush
@@MyDramaListOfficial what's even worse is that it's based on a true story...
Is this a remake of another Jdrama where the guy gets Muscular Dystrophy? It seems very similar.
J-drama classics = anything Kimutaku starred in in the late 90s and early 00s.
very very strange
Kimutaku is in another level. Good Luck is always in my heart
All good 2000s classics. I'm surprised no one mentioned "Code Blue" in the comments.
Great cast but there nothing special with the storyline.
yeah. this list seems to be mostly for people into teen dramas. i'm watching code blue 3 atm. just seen the episode with the miscarriage. i was never interested in those 2 characters for the first 2 and a half series, but that was some powerful acting that episode.
1 Liter of Tears literally made me cry 1 liter of tears. Such a great and inspiring drama. Also the actors were really great. Highly recommended.
Not one mention of any dorama with Kimutaku??? Can you be trusted? He is an ICON! The Long Vacation. Love Generation. Beautiful Life. Hero. Pride. Mr. Brain. BG Personal Bodyguard. You can make a vid off of his dramas alone! Takuya Kimura is a legend. Also, I love the Beach Boys series. Great coming of age story!
Shining Jewel absolutely !
I was kinda expecting something from kimutaku in the list too.
Perhaps for most people nowadays those dramas cannot be called classic dramas anymore, but ancient dramas.
Can you be trusted? what drama is it? I never heard Takuya was in that drama before?
Btw Takuya's drama nowadays does not hold water, his acting is still great, the production crew directing and all was great too but the storyline was average. The last Takuya drama which left a mark on my memories is from the classic which you had named before and up to Change & Mr. Brain. After that, the story was just OK.
Yeah, Beach Boys is such a great drama too. Those two guys can talk about shit in that drama but I still can be hooked to the screen.
Kimura takuya is the bestestt!!!!!
not the same generation
This list is spot on. I watched all of them already..but i have to say 1 litre of tears is just a TRUE MASTERPIECE,from the plot,the characters and the ost. No matter how many times i watched it, i will always go back and rewatch it again and again. Truly a beautiful slice of life,tragedy and family drama.
Gokusen. CLASSIC!! Started me off on a Japanese drama, Japanese pop, Japanese everything as a teenager.
Ok you've convinced me. I'm going to watch Switch Girl again.
wow I cant imagine, I have watched all of the drama on the list.
where did you watch gokudo no sensei?
Long Vacation and Pride by Takuya Kimura are so good! Great chemistry!
3 out of 10 has Matsumoto Jun 😂 As expected, if you want to have a hit drama, cast MatsuJun 😂
Then you know the list is filled with Oguri Shun lol
He was the first Japanese actor that I liked
'LOVE LASTS FOREVER' my favourite.
Me too!! Love that series ~ makes my heart flutter 💕
Me tooooooo
Good!
Me tooooo
I thought i was a kdrama junkie... But i've also watched 8/10 of these japanese dramas... damn...
But i love the classics :3 Especially kimi wa petto, boys over flowers and hana kimi were my favorites :3
Nodame Cantabile and Orange Days
Orange Days was the first JDrama that I fell in love with, and it's the reason that Shibasaki Kou is still my favorite Japanese actress.
Definitely all classics. Among the ones that were named, my favorite favorite out of all of them is "Liar Game". So much psychological suspense in that drama. It was very well adapted.
Hana Yori Dango/Boys Over Flowers is my favorite drama eveeeer! I love it so so so much, I've seen it hundred of times since several years ago and I cannot get tired of it.
I've watched almost all of these!! And loves them! Oh, how nostalgic! They reminded me so much of my younger days where I binge watched all of these every week! Thanks for this! I cannot decide which one of my favourite but below is those that I liked and not in the list:
Code blue
Buzzer beat
Proposal daisakusen
Nodame Cantabile
Mop Girl
Orthros no inu
Attention Please
Ryusei No Kizuna
My Boss My Hero
Seigi No Mikata
I love my boss my hero. The comedy is pure gold, sometimes is cringed. But most of the time is entertaining and crack laugh. And the most thing is aragaki yui is soo pure in here, a different characters when she is in dragon zakura. But her best performance is in papa to musume no nanokakan.
I love so many of these dramas... this list makes me feel nostalgic 😭
Have watched 7 out of 10.
Hana yori dango, one litre of tears and itazura na kiss are the doramas which I always rewatch!
My list without the high school setting:
Date - What is Love
Orange days
Beautiful Life
Summer Snow
Long Vacation
Stay at home dad
He Who Can't Marry
Seven days of a Daddy and Daughter
freeter, le wo kau
Unhandy Handyman
and "Pride" goes well with your list
Add "love of my life" too
Some of my favorites: Nagareboshi, Tatta Hittotsu no Koi, Piece, Tokyo Bandwagon. So many great JDoramas.
I saw Nagareboshi recentely and I like it quite a lot :)
As much as I love Kazuya Kamenashi, I could not get into Tokyo Bandwagon.
My favorites:
1. Tokyo love story
2. Long vacation
3. In time with you
4. The ordinary people
5. You are my pet
Ive watched “Mischievous Kiss” so many times already 😍
Hana kimi is literally the funniest series I've ever seen 😂😂 i still watch the scene cuts on youtube until now and it never fails to make me laugh, pls watch it!!
Hana Yori Dango was my favorite version of Boys over Flowers. I loved Jun Matsumoto, Mao Inoue and Oguri Shun. I loved Gokusen too, there were so many of the well known actors of today that was in the few seasons of that too like Jun Matsumoto, Oguri Shun, the wonderful and stunning Kazuya Kamenashi, the late Haruma Miura, gorgeous Jin Akanishi and so many more. Those are the top 2 for me, but I need to mention Todome No Kiss (loved the plot) and A Story to Read When You First Fall in Love (mainly because of Ryusei Yokohama who I adore)
I remember crying my eyes out watching 1 litre of tears ! It really was one of the best jdramas out there.
I can recommend you this one : Flowers for Algernon. I love this drama !
THAT IS A MUST WATCH! 🤣🤣
Me too.. i drenched my highneck nd my towel😭😭😭
Flowers for Algernon was at least 1 box of kleenex. To see Tomohisa Yamashita in a lighter role check out From Five To Nine .
Is it like the book?
@@staceyb.5878 I didn't even know there was a book, but after reading the summary it seems like the drama is an adaptation of it :)
Why is no one talking about “Long Vacation”?That was one of the best drama of the century.A drama which taught us to find happiness in our own way within ourself instead of hoping it to come from someone else.A drama about the journey, not the destination.
From that era, there are a lot of gold quality jdrama like tokyo love story, ordinary people, ordinary people, under the same roof, anything for you, and a lot more. That good old drama i still rewatch it sometimes. Except "anything for you", because i can't found it everywhere.
I have seen several Japanese and Korean dramas, but none compare to 1 Litre of Tears. I've seen it 7 times already, and am getting ready to rewatch it in a few weeks.
HanaKimi is my fav since 2007
5 ji Kara 9 ji Made the live action was not bad.. too bad they left out the smut parts from the manga. hehehe
Wow... didn't know all the famous kdramas are the remake of the jdramas! Nice list!👌
1 litre of tears is the bomb can’t never forget that drama, that drama shaped my life
Nobutaaaaaa!!! Must have watched that like 3 times! GTO and lots of Takuya Kimura’s dramas are must watch!!
Baru nonton tahun 2020, memorable banget apalagi ending ost-nya, berasa kehilangan temen terbaik dan menghilang selama 15 tahun, terngiang-ngiang sama ost endingnya
❤❤
Hanakami will always be my favorite toma ikuta is my cursh forever
1 liter of tear is my fav Jdrama.
I cried soo much after watching this drama... But I love it soo much...
My Boss My Hero. My personal favourite.
My favourite J-drama is obviously Love Lasts Forever !!! Since it was broadcasted in HK in March, I am crazily in love with it. Even it's been 8 months after it finished, I still watch it online almost twice a month!!! Really wanted to buy the DVD but can't find it in HK :(
I love this drama up until the spoilt brat appear. After that just become too cliche.
Hana kimi, hana yori dango, nobuta wo produce, nodame cantabile, kisarazu cats eye.. i really miss watching crazy japanese dramas
If 2010 is old enough to qualify as classic, I highly recommend Mother, the breakout of the then superb child actress, Mana Ashida. In 2009, there is the first season of Midnight Diner (Shinya Shokudo).
Those are the only ones I can think of from 2010 or earlier that I’ve seen that are pretty good. I’ve seen most of the ones featured also.
oh no, you make me remembering that 2nd last episode scene. That was the most emotional scene I have ever watch acted by a child actress. :((
Thank you for the list. Besides Hana Yori Dango I also loved 1 litre of tears. The last J-drama that I also liked was “In time with you”.
I've watched almost all these jdramas since my younger days.....n i can say i love them all...maybe it's not everyone thing but japanese has unique charm which is different from other cultures....bof, hanakimi, mischievous kiss, nodame n gokusen are among the best classis ever! but the 90s n early 2000s japanese are the GOLD.....
"Great Teacher Onizuka" (1998). Great show, very entertaining. Lead actor does a great job, good music, some hilarious scenes and some heartbreaking ones. It's up there with Gokusen, in my opinion.
My favorites are Hana Yori Dango, The Hours of My Life, Rich Man Poor Woman, Jin, Death Note, The Emperor’s Cook and Kimi Wa Petto
Is Rich man poor woman a Japanese series ?
Rakhi Verma Yes, its is the original one.
@@jessalam8824 thnx will watch it...
Omg, these are literally shows from Jdorama's golden era. Love it! Wanna rewatch these again!
Love lasts forever !!! I give 11/10 ✨✨✨
agree with others, there should be some series with KimuTaku on the list, esp if you call them classics. Also Nodame Cantabile
I just finished Nodame cantabile and honestly it was one of the best dramas I've seen. I had just finished Love last forever and that one was recommended to me. Really enjoyed it.
I waited for a Kimutaku classic here, but no mention of even one. Long Vacation, Beautiful Life, Love Generation, and HERO are great classics he starred in.
I would put on this list "Galileo", "Dragon Zakura" (the first j-drama I watched) and "Trick" (a personal favorite).
Others that not on the list that you should definitely watch
Maou
Zenkai girl
Great teacher onizuka
Bambino
Tokyo dogs
Papa to musume no nanokakan
My boss my hero
1 pound gospel
Kurosagi
Zettai kareshi
Mei chan no shitsuji
Engine
Good life arigato papa sayonara
Dream again
If you want to go back to the early 90’s
Tokyo cinderella is so so so so awesome!!!! My first ever jdrama that makes me swoon.
Heaven’s coin
I think Todome no kiss should be on list
OMG! Papa to musume no nanokakan! My boss my hero! So nostalgic!
Also Bambino! I had forgotten about it!
I'd add Binbo danshi, with Oguri Shun and Buzzer Beat with Yamashita Tomohisa...
My personal faves were not in the list:
Long Vacation
Hoshi no Kinka
Hitotsu Yane No Shita
Beach Boys
Love Generation
Asunaro Hakusho
Hero
Operation Daisakusen
Bloody Monday
Beautiful Life
Please try these ones too! :)
i am a basic anime viewer and cringe at irl adaptation of animes but can u suggest me a good comedy j serial
@@anantchakravorty2522 try My Boss, My Hero, Densha Otoko and akihabara@deep :)
@@renebuenafe5980 ok thanku
I second this list. I'd add Nagareboshi and Nodame in the middle of that list as well.
yeps, there's really something about jdramas that keeps me wanting for more
Yamapi's buzzer beat ❤️❤️, takuya kimura's good luck
I’ve seen them all (more than once) except for Liar Game. Adding to my to-do list now lol. Thanks for this. And yes... every one of these is a classic that anyone interested in J-Dramas should check out. Totally recommended!! Hana Kimi and Hana Yori Dango were the first J-Dramas (actually... Asian dramas in general) I ever watched. I watched them at the same time and switched between them. So nostalgic!
matsujun and oguri shun supremacy. u bet i couldnt choose b/w them in hyd
from the theme song to the story of 1 litre of tears it definitely made me cry more than I ever cry on any movie so definitely bring lots of tissues with you when you watch it
gokusen is toatlly dope! whoever never watched it guys it is awesome (no regrets)
This is a great list. Nobuta wo Produce is one of my favorites of all time. What a way to tug at your heartstrings with some beautiful moments of friendship & the pain of growing up. For other jdramas, I also highly recommend Utahime and Love Shuffle
My two favorite has to be Nobuta wo Produce and 1 liter of tears. Damn... 1 litre of tears DEMOLISHED me, it's probably the show that made me cry the most in my entire life.
lmaoo why have I seen most of these,, that is, except for 1 litre of tears because this drama's eventual sadness scares me so much still lmao
i've watched 1 litre of tears years ago and it still haunts me *-* but it changed my perspective of life a lot. it's really worth watching
I almost never watch Japanese dramas (more of a kdrama kinda gal) but todome no kiss is one of my favorite dramas of all time, I think it's so underrated
I just realized, I am a Jdrama addict because I already watched all the drama series in the list. 🤭❤👍
Gokusen (3 series) plus movie
Mischievous Kiss (had watched the Taiwanese Version too)
Hanazakari Kimitachi e (You will love all the characters from the main to the supporting)
Hana yori dango ( love the actors here)
Nobuta wo Produce ( Nobuta Power!!)
Switch Girl ❤
Liar Game ( Interesting drama series)
1 litre of tears ( you need to prepare a box of tissue)
Rich Man, Poor Woman ( Oguri Shun!!! ❤)
Kimi wa Petto ( MatsuJun from Arashii once again 😍 )
Long Vacation, Doctor X, Love Shuffle, Orange Days I thought would make the cut.
Long vacation and orange days are in my top 5 for sure! If you love Takuya Kimura in long vacation you may enjoy Pride as well :)
Omg yesss!!! Mischievous kiss was the first Asian drama I saw!
I still love it:)
I literally shed 1 liter of tears because of One liter of tears 😭
I can’t believe Nodame Cantabile aka the best Japanese drama of all time is not here!!!!!! Also has anyone else watched Tumbling before? Such a hidden gem IMO😭💫
My recommendations
Nodame cantabile (all time favorite, hilarious)
Nigehaji
Hotaru no hikari
GTO (the old one)
Gokusen, Hana Kimi, Nobuta wo Produce, Switch Girl, Rich Man Poor Woman 🥰🥰
My first Jdrama is Gokusen and still my favorite and the reason why I'm a teacher now.
i've swatched almost all of these lol.
also...
so much MJ. including soft jun, not just atsu-jun. woa.
Gosh i like how they look so natural in the dramas we can even see their skins imperfections and pores !!
The Jdramas you shared are so extremely old. I prefer Mr Brain, Bon Appetit (Gochisosan), Dinner, Legal High series, Doctor X, Legal V, Wise & Foolish, CRISIS Special Security Squad, BG Body Guard 1 & 2, Border
and Border Redemption.
Mischievous Kiss- Love In Tokyo 1 & 2 just hits different. Really glad that this was my first ever jdrama🔥
All mentioned series are great, but... Mr Brain - is my fav j-dorama of all times!
Kimutaku is such an icon. He deserves his own highlight video.
My ultimate jdorama is RICH MAN POOR GIRL and THE KISS THAT KILLS 🥰
Orange Days! The quintessential drama about the best years of your life.
It is my favorite, I can't describe what I felt the first time I watched it, I even downloaded the episodes and the OST, I LOVED it. 🍊💕
The real classic for me are Tokyo Love Story, News no Onna, and Beautiful Life... Watched them when I was still little but they left great impression. But yea these ones are very memorable for me sunce I watched them during high school-Uni days. Nobuta especially rekindled my love for Jdrama
No love for Takuya Kimura, Takashi Sorimachi or Yutaka Takenouchi dorama?
GTO, Long Vacation, or even Nagareboshi? Those are fine classic..
Gokusen was my first jdrama series. I really loved this drama and manga in highschool can't believe I forgot about it.
すばらしい
Shun Oguri, the most handsome man alive..
Handsome and cool
Saw them all of course :) 1 litre of tears in my all time favorite Jdrama. Still after all those years. I watched Nobuta wo Produce first and that 1 litre of tears.
I really I admit this, JAPAN was the one and only the ORIGINAL from those Anime and Manga Based one...
My Dramalist has one of my very most trustable and lovable channel, because they search the facts and the real ones...than other like--- Nevermind.... others are putting the wrong edges about the facts
One liter of tears.
I cried.
Manly tears
Oguri and MJ for the win! ;)
