Winter 2008 Drama Top 5

The 2008 Winter Drama Season drew to an end. Let's see... It had good dramas ne? My Top 5 for this season was...

Top 5
1. 1 Pound no Fukuin - Wow! This one was way better than I expected! Kame managed to pull out the most adorable lead character in a drama (strictly my opinion though). I just couldn't get enough of it! And Meisa was so beautiful and acted so naive, I loved her! Pity it was only 9 episodes long...
2. Mirai Koshi Meguru - Of course I would never ever miss to put a Kankuro Kudo drama on my list. It was crazy, it was original, it was extra cute (the Kyoko Fukada factor). Loved it!
3.Koshonin - It was probably the best police j-drama I've seen. Yonekura Ryoko kicked ass as Usagi. And Shirota Yu could very well be Hannibal Lecter's illegitimate son... What's with the 8 episode's length though???
4.Edison no Haha - It was way way better than I expected. Hell I almost cried at each episode's sweetness. Kids can really steal a show. I want one like Kento too! Cute cute cute!!!
5.Sasaki Fusai no Jinginaki tatakai - Extreme comedy with a lot of visual effects. And Koyuki with SMAP's Goro bickering at each episode like crazy! Did I mention there was a narrator too? Yeah, it was really really good...

Unexpectedly only 2 of the dramas I was anticipating made it to the list. Honey & Clover was kinda disappointing and Binbou Danshi wasn't as good as I expected it to be. It was fun though and Miura Haruma was adorable.
So let's see... For the next season the five dramas I'm anticipating are:

CHANGE - KimuTaku drama finally! Also there's Eri Fukatsu and Hiroshi Abe! With the scriptwriter from Hero, nothing can go wrong! Plus I love political dramas cause they have a lot of twists. This one is no1 on my to-watch list.
Zettai Kareshi - Yuu Watase manga turned drama! With Moko as the robot! And Mizushima Hiro is <3<3<3 Also the cm looked hella good!
Last Friends - With its cast and plot it has to turn out great. Can't wait to see Ueno Juri and Eita acting together again. I couldn't care less about Ryo but it's good that he gets to play an abusive character (yeah, I don't really like him, so I can probably hate him as much as I want here...)
Gokusen 3 - Another Gokusen. Probably with the same plot... But getting to see Yankumi again is worth it! I missed her!
Osen - Aoi Yuu drama! A food comedy... And yes! ?Uchi is back (I like him. And missed him. He had been away for too long...)

Hi hi! It's great to find more Greek people who are interested in J-dramas! Yoroshiku ne! 1 Pound no Fukuin is great! Do watch it! I watch a lot of dramas each season (around 9-10) and a lot of older dramas (170 so far) so if you want recommendations I'll be happy to help you! ^^

Oh, WOW. 170. @_@ That's a lot.
I will count on you for recommendations!! Right now I'm watching Gokusen II, Yukan Club, and I just finished Kurosagi, which was AWESOME. Next in line are Akihabara@DEEP, and Hana Yori Dango 2 which I haven't watched yet.
What would you say are your absolute favourites? Tough one, I know. ^^

Hmmmm I'd say some of my absolutely favorites are: Yamada Taro Monogatari (cause it's Arashified to the core and I love Arashi more than anything; plus it's like an anime has come to life), Proposal Daisakusen (I love romantic comedies so much), Kisarazu Cat's Eye (for more than 1 year this was my favorite, it's absolutely crazy), Kurosagi (you have watched that), Hana Yori Dango 1&2 (I count them together), Nobuta wo Produce,Hana Kimi, Stand Up!!, Trick (all 3 seasons; one of the funniest and wittiest series ever!), Tiger & Dragon, Ikebukuro West Gate Park (Kankuro Kudo dramas those last two), Tatta Hitotsu no Koi, Densha Otoko, Karei Naru Ichizoku (this one is a VERY SERIOUS drama though), Nodame Cantabile, Watr Boys, 1 Litre of Tears etc etc Wow! It turned out HUGE and I still haven't listed all of the dramas I love! Some other time!
