I'd also recommend Okitegami Kyoko no Biboroku! It seems pretty underrated from what I gather through people's recs, but it was one of the first jdramas I watched and really enjoyed, so I'd say it's worth a shot :)

Not going to repeat the dramas that other people mentioned but I would like to add some:

Date - Koi to wa Donna Mono Kashira - if you're in a mood for a different kind of rom-com (I know it doesn't seem that way from the premise but trust me).
LIFE - a pretty heavy drama dealing with bullying. "What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger" pretty much sums up the story.
Minami-kun no koibito: My little lover - in my opinion a really well done cliche rom-com.
