Oh I just finished some "new" dramas.. ^^

I can really recommend:

1. Proposal Daisakusen
2. hanazakari no kimitachi e
3. hana yori dango

And I'm really looking forward to the Kurosagi movie as the drama had such an unsatisfying ending *^.^*

A few month ago I watched "Sore wa totsuzen, arashi no you ni".. It's such a sloppy drama.. But if you like to see a Yamapi who is suffering all the time.. xD Then you'll love it.^^

My list may be a little outdated as I am not watching so many dramas nowadays. Too busy with keeping up with arashi videos.

Top Japanese Drama:
1. Mukodono (Mainly because it almost made me cried almost every episode. And because AIBA STARRED in it!)
2. Hanazakari no Kimitachi E (Love the scenes when nakatsu felt lost for being 'gay')
3. Yamada Taro Monogatari (I can't help but love the family ties in this drama. How much taro loves his family. And of course, nino and sho!)

Top Korean Dramas:
1. Full House (without a doubt, it lead me to watch korean dramas since then)
2. Sassy Girl, Chun Hyang (The story is very original and interesting. And I love the acting!!)
3. My Girl (It made me fell in love with lee junki at that moment because of his pretty face.)

I'm out of dramas to watch too! I wanna start watching korean dramas but the japanese shows are already taking up my study time. ~sigh~

Anywho...here are my top choices for jdramas:
-Pride (many people recommended this drama. it may be about hockey, but the romance between Aki and Haru is so sweet. OH yeah! and the whole series plays nothing but Queen!)
-Hana Yori Dango (Makino rocks!)
-Bambino (watch this if you're really into cooking and/or Jun)
-My boss My Hero (this drama made me laugh AND cry)
-Kurosagi (same formula in every episode but still interesting)
-1 Litre of Tears (biggest cryfest EVER!!)
-Hana Kimi (Nakatsu steals the show!)

I'm such a drama whore XDD I've seen like...too many for my own good. My top favorites shift all the time because I obsess over the ones I'm watching at the time, but the ones that mark my top 5 in certain categories are:

J-Dramas
1. Densha Otoko ((Lol I know its kinda...weird to have this one as my favorite, but the fact that its based on a true story makes it even more amazing)
2. Hana Yori Dango ((I've been obsessed with this series since the like 1st manga volume came out, and the drama made it all the better))
3. My Boss My Hero ((Tokio love was born from this drama XDD))
4. Yukan Club ((Again, another weird one but I loved this drama <3 Finished it in one day...well I started at 10pm on a Friday and stayed up until like 6am the next day in order to finish it all in one sitting))
5. It's a tie between Yamada Taro Monogatari, The files of young Kindaichi-kun 3, and Kizarazu Cats Eye because they're all good dramas XD

K-Dramas
1. Coffee Prince ((Very touching and hilarious. A must see for Hana Kimi fans))
2. Full House ((Haha, so much love))
3. 9 end 2 outs ((A comedy romance for the older generations))
4. Goong ((Everyone seems to love this one XD))
5. Probably My name is Kim Sam Soon

C/TW-Dramas
1. Devil Beside you ((Mike, Rainie, Kingone...God I loved this drama more than I love puppies. XD))
2. Silence ((This drama BROKE.MY.HEART. I've probably never cried so hard at a screen in my life. The acting was great...and the annoying songs they played even started to sound good after a while XD))
3. Meteor Garden/Rain ((Hana Yori Dango only with a spin =D))
4. Mars ((Vic and Barbie make an amazing couple XD))
5. Why Why Love or It started with a Kiss. ((Its SOHARD to choose XDD))

Last Categorie I swear XD
Drama SPs/Specials
1. Sukoshi wa, Ongaeshi ga Dekitakana ((Nino's acting is like a giant monster that sucks your tears from their ducts in this SP))
2. Marathon ((Again, Nino's acting NEVER FAILS TO MAKE ME SOB D;))
3. Nodame Cantabile SP ((Since I couldn't mention this series in my favorite J-dramas, I thought I'd mention that the SP to this drama was one of the best series SPs I've seen))
-can't think of any other mentionable Specials-

=D Sorry for my rambling XD
