Looking for romance type dramas

missraichyl

Hi! I've been on here for awhile, but rarely stray away from Korean Dramas, but recently I've needed a break after I watched a really great drama (Because This is My First Life) and went into a drama slump, so then I usually watch Japanese movies, but I wanted to watch more of the drama's, since I've seen a lot of movies already, but I don't know where to start.

In dramas, I like:

  • cute, light, and romance
  • it can be angsty or melo
  • kisses and romance
    • I love dramas that don't shy away from the romance

The dramas I've seen already are:

  • Ani ni Aisaresugite Komattemasu (8/10)
    • has anyone found the follow-up movie??
  • Dame na Watashi ni Koishite Kudasai (8/10)
  • Hapimari: Happy Marriage!? (8.5/10)
  • Itazura na Kiss - Love in Tokyo 1&2 (9/10)
  • Kimi Wa Petto (2017) (9.5/10)
  • Kuzu no Honkai (2.5)
  • Last Cinderella (9/10)
  • Second Love (7/10)
  • Suki na Hito ga Iru Koto (8.5/10)

Feel free to look at my list if this is not as helpful! Oh, I'm also currently watching Boku, Unmei no Hito desu!

The only drama I can think of that I enjoyed and that fits in the romance category is Share House no Koibito. It's... peculiar, and tends to get poor reviews, but it was fun to watch.

Of more recent popular shows, I've heard good things about NigeHaji.

I truly am a happy ending drama freak.  I have watched a lot of shows from k, c, t and thai.  Check out my list anything 8 or above is good stuff in my opinion.  I have also been watching a long time so I even have a lot of older shows on my list.  Ma Webre is my user name.

AH

If you like Itazura na Kiss, try Good Morning Call. There are two seasons now.

I tried to watch Good Morning Call but couldn’t get into it. It’s in my dropped list:(

Not sure how you would feel about Hana Yori Dango/Kkotboda Namja, but the Japanese one was my very first drama and kicked off my overall interest in asian dramas.

Try Buzzer Beat, I finished it an hour ago, it was great! Maybe you'll like it too.

And I can also recommend Tatta Hitotsu no Koi.

I absolutely second Pride ! My favorite Jdrama ever!

Also second "Bara no nai Hanaya".

Plus also recommend:

"Totsuzen Desu ga Ashita Kekkon Shimasu"

"Love Shuffle"

"Aishiteiru to Ittekure"

"Tatta Hitotsu no Koi"

You might also check out "Shitsuren Chocolatier", though I have very mixed feelings about it.

Japan is really good at making romance dramas. You just have to know where to look.
