New to J-Drama, recommendations please!

So I'm a huge anime fan and recently, I decided to start watching j-dramas after watching the live action of Usagi Drop. I've watched My boss, My hero and GTO (2012) I love comedy where I burst out laughing with also the touch of it being serious enough to touch the heart. Both My boss, My hero and GTO did this for me at specific parts. It was really touching. I love the whole school setting so if anyone could recommend me anything similar, please do! I'm thinking of starting Don Quixote next, would that be a good one to start next? Only J-dramas please! Many thanks!

Nodame Cantabile don't miss it (very Mukyaaa and Gyabo!!! :D )

Go watch Hana Kimi! You have to! It has the school setting and it's the funniest drama I've ever seen!! It was one of my first J-dramas too and I still think of it as one of the best!

Yes Don Quixote is a solid drama.

In terms of funny and touching, I support Nobuta wo Produce and Hana Kimi.

Nodame Cantabile can be surprisingly good.

imo, i didnt like don quixote. its not terrible...its whatever. But why settle for whatever when you can watching something amazing like HANA YORI DANGO and HANA KIMI ??? Watch those first pls

and if you like suspense type dramas then i'd really recommend liar game and kurosagi

In all, I would not recommend Kurosagi.
Bloody Monday is poor, but it is very very different from the usual jdorama, thus is worth a glance.
Gokusen is extremely different from GTO despite being in the same "high school" genre.
Love Shuffle is an interesting one.
Liar Game is poor, but its worth suffering in order to get to Liar Game 2, which is much improved.

I personally would recommend Proposal Daisakusen #1 Jdrama ever.

BOSS seasons 1 and 2 both made me laugh and be serious at certain scenes.

Are you a boy??
then MOTEKI


Are you an Otaku
then DENSHA OTOKO


Are you Rpg Gamer
then YUUSHA YOSHIHIKO TO MAO NO SHIRO

Nodame Cantabile, Liar Game, Hana Yori Dango, High School Debut
