Favorite Japanese Dramas
Some of my favorite JDramas that I've watched. I LOVE JDramas because you get that real "slice of life" feeling from them.

1. Bitter Blood
Japanese Drama - 2014, 11 episodes
Father and son angst in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. This series was fun and entertaining with two perfectly matched characters in Takeru Satoh as the son, and Watabe Atsuro as the father.
Watabe as the cool, GQ absentee dad, and Takeru as the reserved son. Some really funny moments but overall a good police series.

2. Kounodori
Japanese Drama - 2015, 10 episodes
I cannot tell you how much I love Ayano Go! His offbeat looks, gorgeous hair, high cheekbones, beautiful eyes - he's one of a kind. In this series he plays an obstetrician and tends to at risk babies of pregnant moms and, does an excellent job. He also moonlights as a jazz pianist named "Baby" at a local night club. He's so talented, I've seen all his movies.

3. Code Blue 3
Japanese Drama - 2017, 10 episodes
Loved all three of the Code Blue series. Someone said JDramas are repetitive - I don't see it. This was a very good original series, the acting was on point and all the characters were relatable. And, of course, Yamapi (Yamashita Tomohisa) was excellent.

4. Boku no Ita Jikan
Japanese Drama - 2014, 11 episodes
Hiroma's acting made me cry. The entire story was lovely and touching. This guy is not only gorgeous, he is an accomplished actor. One of my fave JDramas of all time.
