Japanese TV drama

Somebody asked about good Japanese TV dramas besides 東京ラブストーリー. Here is my suggestions. Try to see if you can find these.

These are all my favorites:
101回目のプロポーズ (ひゃくいっかいめのプロポーズ. Love story. CHAGE and ASKA's SAY YES was used for this)
振り返れば奴がいる (ふりかえればやつがいる. Doctors' story. Very deep and serious. Another drama with a CHAGE and ASKA song),
古畑任三郎 (ふるはたにんざぶろう. Cool and funny detective story of murder cases. I would call this "Japanese Colombo," if you know it) or anything written by Mitani Kouki (the best drama writer from Japan) is good,
踊る大捜査線 (おどるだいそうさせん. Police story. very funny, cool, and even realistic),
ひとつ屋根の下 (ひとつやねのした. Very sweet family drama),
トリック (Murder case mystery with a weird physician guy and a cynical magician girl. Very funny and smart story)

Too many? Well. There are more. I've never seen the ones below but they are more recent and I heard they are very good, too.
ヒーロー
のだめカンタービレ

See you.

  1. 1リットルの涙 is also a good drama. A very sad one, but a good drama.
    クロサギ is also a fun drama.

    and 魔法戦隊マジランジャー is also fun to watch... or any Sentai show, really.
