ranking all J-Dramas i've ever seen

is anybody surprised!? this may be the best drama Japan has ever produced. no, i'm not exaggerating. if you've watched this, you know what i'm talking about! this drama alone is what keeps the paper napkin industry going!

ahh, i remember having been so obsessed with this. quirky and fun, but at the same time dark and mysterious. to me, it remains one of the best supernatural mystery dramas.

i feel like i'm one of the very few people who know about this drama and who actually appreciate it. i can't put into words how this drama changed my perspectives and my tastes. i used to only watch teen romances, then watched this one and, just like that, i learnt to enjoy more mature stories with strong psychological analysis over the characters. it was groundbreaking for me!

i even got to read the manga because i enjoyed the dorama so much.

another hidden gem. i can't think of a reason why i liked this one as much as i did. years later, i still remember this one very fondly!

ahh, the joys of being young and in love, absolutely the best feelings, 10 out of 10, totally recommend!

this started it all for me!

can y'all tell i was in love with toda erika!?

the best medical j-dramas. periodt.

in awe about this one! so many of my favorite tropes! (also 'amnesia' done right)

books and murder-solving, yes please!

 i loved how wholesome it was at a time when 'being wholesome' wasn't the most popular trope. and the music was fabulous!

still very good, but it didn't strike me as much as the original series.

guess the 'sequel syndrome' is a real deal: brilliant series, but not as brilliant as season 1

really couldn't find the point in making this special episode; 1 litre of tears was extraordinary on its own.

i know this was a bit controversial between 48 franchise fans at the time of release, but i certainly enjoyed it greatly!

i don't think i knew to appreciate it enough when i watched

a rotten sequel, unfortunately

super cool concept, really liked it at the time, but i don't really care about it anymore

ahh dumb yet trying to portray intelligence... it was fun tho

the korean original is fabulous in comparison to it

my rating (and this position) is sort of undeserved. this is not a bad series, but i just don't care about it.
