This is just a placeholder for now, I’ll elaborate further on each drama when I get a chance. For the dramas I’ve blogged about in some detail, links are provided. I consciously try to keep my reviews spoiler-free so read without fear!

The dramas are arranged in order of personal entertainment and rewatchability. I’ve broken down the shows into a few categories to give greater separation in quality between the shows.

If you’re wondering why I have so many shows in the amazing category, well, I watch shows that other people have recommended, and so far I haven’t been let down too much =P

    One of my favourite drama series and I still think it as #1 japanese drama is the one called "Shotgun Marriage" or in japanese "Dekichatta Kekkon". Please watch and review that one, just curious how you would review that one.
    Btw the stars including Abe Hiroshi and Ryoko Hirosue.
  • Thanks for the recommendation! I will watch anything with Abe Hiroshi so I'll keep an eye out for it.
