Hey guys,

I've seen really few Jdramas, so I'm looking for some good recommendations. Since I'm sort of a "newbie" in Jdrama world, I'm thinking of starting with simple rom-coms. 

I've seen and really enjoyed

- Please Love The Useless Me

- A Girl & 3 Sweethearts


Although I'd prefer it if the dramas were recent, but it's not really a necessity.

Any rom-com is fine, as long as doesn't have a tragic/ sad ending.


Thank you in advance!

Good Morning Call (2 seasons)

See if any of these suits your taste:

Nodame Cantabile

Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu

Switch Girl!!

Yamada-kun to 7-nin no Majo

Date - Koi to wa Donna Mono Kashira

Hanazakari no Kimitachi e

Hana yori dango. That was my first j-drama. It makes me a good impression 

Even though it's not exactly recent, Hotaru no Hikari is definitely my favourite Japanese romcom. It's a real classic that's great for jdrama beginners with the added bonus of being genuinely hilarious. Plus, there are two seasons and a movie! 

The classic HanaKimi.

 Doragaminato:

Hana yori dango. That was my first j-drama. It makes me a good impression 


 Antonin:

The classic HanaKimi.

These are two you must absolutely watch. 

Dear Sister is a good one, though it's more of a family drama with romantic subplots.
