What I thought.

I don’t seem to be surprised that HanDan2 is #1 but couldn’t help but GASP at Pro Dai’s ranking which (to me) deserved a better ranking then #12. Pro Dai was one of the most touching and romantic dramas I’ve watched on the year and totally beats HanDan for me which though the first (movie length) episode made me laugh hysterically.

If I remember correctly Iryu was that medical drama with Teppei in it. I like Medical shows cause they make me feel smarter.

Though I haven’t watched Galileo yet, Mary told me that it was good.

SP definitely deserved it’s spot at #6 it’s not too slow nor too fast for me while watching and the action is fast paced to make it more interesting.

Papa to Musume no Nanokakan <– Freaky Friday with the daughter and the father. I just love seeing an old man giggling like a high school girl about a date with her crush (SHIGE! ROFL). Strange yet extremely funny.

Liar Game. Erika Toda was in this…was an interesting storyline to it but all I ended up thinking about throughout the entire series was the money.

GOD Hana Kimi! Pure comedy which is a win for me. Watched it again recently and I love Toma’s character Nakatsu who thinks to himself using actions, cosplayed as a nurse and his reactions with Maki’s character are priceless. Overall this drama was OKAY with me but the romance was too slow.

Life. Behind the scenes of High School bullying. Reminds me of my school sometimes.

Hotaru no Hikari. No words needed. Mary explains it all in her review here at A.I

Haikei, Chichiue-sama and Yamada Taro Monogatari. Both have one thing in common…NINO!!!!! YamaTaro was so cute/funny.

Bambino! MatsuJun….I can’t look at his face. Other then that, the drama itself was so so.

Anything I didn’t mention I haven’t either watched or don’t remember anything about.

Got anything to say about the rankings? COMMENT THEN

    I prefer HanDan season 1…i didnt really think that season 2 was any different from the first

    Haikei, Chichiue-sama was good though, I liked it better than Yamada Tarou and I can’t look at MatsuJun’s face either … those were like all dramas I watched this year and I pretty much agree though there were heaps more good ones
