I can't remember the name of this jdrama I watched years ago in the early 2000s. It's about this really frugal woman who was determined to save 1million yen (it's not 1million yen girl). I didn't finish the series but I remember she did get to 1mill.

i'm curious! does anyone have any shows that you tend to watch around christmas? it doesn't even have to be christmassy.

for example, for some reason i love to revisit good morning call during the festive season! something about it's cheesiness and warmth makes me feel cosy and festive lol.

I'm looking for a jdrama about 3 friends. a quiet girl with bangs, another girl but on the contrary she's a bit "crazy" and I think she had hair with different colours. and a boy.

I remember quiet girl uses the blackboard to communicate to them. does anyone know the name

The Netflix algorithm just gifted me a few of Kasumi Arimura's film works (I know I know, I am terribly behind), and while browsing online for more suggestions, I came across "Kasumi Arimura 's Day Off" (alternatively titled "Kasumi Arimura's Shooting Break"). It seems like a charming, quirky slice of life type show, so right up my alley.

However, I can't find a way to watch it from the U.S. Does anyone have any clue?

I'm looking for dramas where the MC from modern world time travels to the far past. Are there other dramas like Jin and Nobunaga concerto?

Flair Banner (New Reddit Only): Omusubi/ おむすび(Airing from September 30, 2024 to TBA 2025)

I started a similar thread last year when Netflix Japan said it was being removed on December 28, 2023. I was on season six.

It never was.

Fast forward a year and Netflix Japan is now staying it’ll be removed on December 31, 2024. I’m finally on the season twelve.

Will it?

I also saw the movie when I was in Japan last month…good times.

I can’t find any and I really want to watch one

I've heard that there's a movie form of satsui no Michinori, and also one with audio commentary

Where could I find those?

I watched this a while back so I may get some of the info wrong. I think the show was from the early 2010s? A school hires a substitute teacher for a classroom. I think there was a girl that didn't communicate much so he tried to talk with her. Not even a few weeks later she unalives herself I believe. The teacher is sure that his class is to blame. He asks a lawyer's help (I think). Don't remember most of the show but I remember a scene where he admits he was wrong about his accusations and apologizes by bowing down to the class. Pls let me know its eating me alive.

Update: I FOUND IT LMAO NVMM. Title is "Watashitachi no kyokasho".

P.S. I'm still waiting for the subs of the series. Now that it's done, I hope Netflix would stream it, just like the first film.

Hey, can anyone help me find this series (NOT THE LAST COPS btw) ^^ i watched it when I was in middle-high school so it was probably around 2012-2015

It's about a young, almost naive detective (or police officer?) joined an eccentric investigation unit, what I remember from that, the detective (around his mid 20s) had a mentor (around his 40s-50s, always wearing a jacket) always help him find clues or just gave him advice. But the mentor is not necessarily a law-abiding" person, because I'm sure the detective's colleagues don't like him (they know him but don't know that the detective often met him in a bar and always at the same bar)

I'm pretty sure the mentor used a nickname instead of his real name, in the middle (near the end) of the series, the mentor shot the detective on the shoulder, but i don't remember why :"D but the detective still trusted him even after one of his team members reminded him that he shot him

And the plot twist was basically the detective's boss (around her 40s? wearing glasses) knows the mentor, they secretly try to uncover and reveal an old case that involved one of the powerful people in their village, who misused his power, resulted in the death of the mentor's son

At the end, the mentor was hospitalized, but run away when the detective visited him (the detective went into the room and found that the bed's empty)

I tried to give as many informations i can remember, so sorry for the long post, any help will be appreciated, coz I've been looking for this series for days, thank you >< 🙏

It’s fun and I wanted to like it more but damn Dr Tendo is cringey :’) Am I the only one?

i am getting back into dramas, and i'm totally hooked on talentless takano! can anybody share more recommendations for similar fun shows? thank u in advance :)

I have been a fan of Japanese Anime since childhood. I have also heard lots of great things about Japanese literature and cinema. So like an idiot I decided to watch Umi no Hajimari.

Gosh, the first episode is not even ended and I am bawling my eyes out crying. The story, the characters, the emotion and the acting just makes the entire story feels so real.

There are 11 more episodes, I don't think I have enough strength to watch the entire series.

Looking for a place to watch the series now that all DramaCool based servers are indefinitely down. Looking for the original fan translator site/ files or if there's an internet archive post for it. Thank you!

I thought maybe we can work together before the servers go down.
