Shikaotoko Aoniyoshi - the story is so messed up that it's hilarious - surprisingly I really enjoyed it :) Plus dorky version of Tamaki Hiroshi

Yume wo kanaeru zo - that show always lifts me up.


Yes to both!

My hidden gems (all Japanese): [list]

[*] Busu no Hitomi ni Koishiteru (super cute)
[*]Moteki (the best "awkward guy gets hot girl" story line that I've seen)
[*]Shomuni (<3<3<3 a more modern, Japanese version of the BritCom "Are You Being Served?")
[*]Shinya Shokudo(quiet and episodic)
[*] Dare Yori mo Mama wo Aisu (family)
[*] I've Been Married to Hell! (light family drama)
[*]Aishiteru (very emotional, and much better than the second season)
[/list]

It is nice but ...kinda well known and new drama - so it isnt hidden gem but popular gem.

Hidden gem is usually littlebit older drama what is forgotten by everyone but actually is good drama with good actors, it isnt mainstream one and this is reason why so few people know it. Think about word - "hidden"

I add one more ( i posted already some earlier) :

Cheap Love - http://mydramalist.com/japanese-drama/2585/cheap-love

Agreed. I don't think it necessarily has to be older though. Also, you can check the statistics on a drama on MDL if you're not sure :)
