Seeking Jdrama recs

Hi everyone! I have seen 9 whole jdramas and I am not sure what to watch next.

I have dabbled in a few things after those, but nothing really stuck.

So I would appreciate any recs and I would also LOVE to hear if you are a fan of any one of these shows:))) It would make my day!

My Favorites:

  • Light of My Lion (Raion no Kakurega): Loved the suspense and how wholesome it was seeing two men looking after a child. Lion is easily my favorite character.
  • After School Doctor (Hōkago Karute): I really liked the idea of a doctor in a school nurse role. The medical cases were interesting and I liked the school social scenes. Shinoya-sensei and Makino-sensei are my faves, especially the plotlines about Shinoya’s exhaustion and Naoki and his sister.
  • Stepmother and Daughter Blues (Gibo to Musume no Burūsu): It was so satisfying watching the characters grow to love and adapt to each other. The female lead is my favorite.
  • I'm Mita, your housekeeper (Kaseifu no Mita): I loved her robotic energy and how she handles the household with so much precision.
  • Tatsuki: Too Kind for School (Tatsuki Sensei wa Ama Sugiru!): I love the idea of a safe space for school refusers and how we get to know one kid each episode. I’m currently watching this and can’t wait for the new episode this Friday!
  • The Full-Time Wife Escapist (Nigehaji): Such a quirky, wholesome slow-burn. I like the leads equally, their bond is so unexpected.
  • Divorce Lawyer (Rikon Bengoshi): Still one of my favorites for the law office vibes. Takako Mamiya is the best; she’s blunt and smart but still principled.
  • Loved One: I didn't know forensic medicine could be this interesting. The main lead has a very cool way detective way of thinking, but without the mental instability that some of these detective leads have. I can't wait for next Sunday's episode.
  • Turn to me Mukai-Kun (Kocchi Muite yo Mukai-kun): I love how Mukai finds himself at the end and with whom he finds himself. It's a cute romance!

Thank you very much!!

Discussing my first 9 J-Dramas

Hi everyone! I haven't seen more than 9 or 10 complete J-Dramas so far (though I’ve sampled a few others), but I’m already starting to figure out what I like. I’m not going to write out all the plot summaries here, but I’d love to talk to anyone who likes these shows or characters.

My Favorites:

  • Light of My Lion: Loved the suspense and how wholesome it was seeing two men looking after a child. Lion is easily my favorite character.
  • After School Doctor: I really liked the idea of a doctor in a school nurse role. The medical cases were interesting and I liked the school social scenes. Shinoya-sensei and Makino-sensei are my faves, especially the plotlines about Shinoya’s exhaustion and Naoki and his sister.
  • Stepmother and Daughter Blues: It was so satisfying watching the characters grow to love and adapt to each other. The female lead is my favorite.
  • Kaseifu no Mita: I loved her robotic energy and how she handles the household with so much precision.
  • Tatsuki: Too Kind for School: I love the idea of a safe space for school refusers and how we get to know one kid each episode. I’m currently watching this and can’t wait for the new episode this Friday!
  • The Full-Time Wife Escapist: Such a quirky, wholesome slow-burn. I like the leads equally, their bond is so unexpected.

  • Loved One: I didn't know forensic medicine could be this interesting. The main lead has a very cool way detective way of thinking, but without the mental instability that some of these detective leads have. I can't wait for next Sunday's episode.

I'd love to chat about:

  1. Who are your favorite characters from these shows?
  2. If you liked the "smart professional" vibes of Mita, After School Doctor, or Divorce Lawyer, or the wholesome vibes of the rest on the list, what else should I check out?
  3. Is anyone else watching Tatsuki and Loved One right now?

Looking forward to hearing what you guys think!
