there's never enough dramas in my life

i love japanese dramas.. i do..
ok.. my first experience watchin japanese dramas was kimura takuya's Love Generation..
and even though i have been through many fangirl phase after kimura takuya, it couldn't gone wrong wit kimura's drama as ur first japanese drama experience..
yepp! once you go japanese drama, you just won't go back..

u know, what i love about j-dramas is the fact that it is longer than a movie, but shorter (and less draggy-er) than regular tv series,
cause sometimes even the best series cud become crappy after a few season, example no.1 : the OC (i used to love OC so much, way before all the break-ups/make-ups, murders, lesbians, and.. and.. i just lost track of what happenin in orange county)

But, before you assume j-dramas is about the same as any asian dramas (i.e. korean, chinese, taiwanese, etc), then i gotta say this to you, "IT'S DIFFERENT!"...
well, IT IS! it's "Japanese" first of all... most j-dramas (i'm not sayin all of 'em) are way more simple in story-wise, yet deeper in a way...
so, as i was sayin, j-dramas airs about 9 to 12 one-hour-episodes,
just the right amount to watch it non-stop for a day, and then re-watch it the next day (if it's that good)..
plus, there's pretty much every genre for everybody.. comedy, sport, proffesion, school, love/friendship, you name it..
last, if u're sayin asian guys was never your type, u shud at least try..
because these guys are really good in building a lovable character.. and soon u will be another fangirl just like me...
so, if u felt there's not enough drama in your life.. watch j-dramas,
cause like i said,
once you go japanese dramas, you just won't go back

btw, here are a few links to j-drama fandom..
- dramawiki & jdorama -- pretty much the GOD of everything you need to know about j-dramas
- doramalover -- indonesian webstore for dramas, but also has pretty good reviews
- d-addicts -- the ultimate source of every j-dramas out there (in torrents), plus one of the biggest community of drama fans
- a few livejournal community such as here and here -- where u get to direct download your j-dramas (sign-up required)
- 8thsin's page -- basically reviews.. i agree on most of it
