I guess it also depends on your favourite genre. I like things with some psychological or sociological stuff but I don't know if that's good for a beginner per se. I'll just recommend some I liked:

Itazura na Kiss - Love in Tokyo
LIAR GAME
Orange Days
LIFE (currently watching)
Mother
Rich Man, Poor Woman
