Time to update some of my recent favorites Japanese Drama ! Not all of them released this year, some are already airing since last year.. Yet I just happen to watch it this year. If you're into rom-comedy genre and sort of that like me, you'll love these dramas for sure.

>>>>>>>Start ! >>>>>>>

1. Nagi's Long Vacation
Nagi no Oitoma / 凪のお暇

Main Cast: Kuroki Haru , Takahashi Issei, Nakamura Tomoya
Genre: Life - Romance

Number of Episodes : 10

Synopsis:

28-year-old Oshima Nagi works for a home appliance manufacturer in Tokyo. She conforms to her surroundings as she constantly gauges people’s moods. Because of that, her goal is to pass each day without incident. However, as a result of reading too much into situations and pushing herself too hard, she collapses from hyperventilation. One day, Nagi’s boyfriend says something that breaks her heart. This prompts her to reexamine her life, and she makes the decision to change it.. - cr@dramalist

This drama is currently airing on TBS japan every Friday. Eventhough i'm still catching up & haven't know the ending yet, I can say that it's a good drama indeed.Perfect plot about real-life romance, friendship and character building. Moral to learn are ; being true to yourself and living without mask to please other people.

At first ,I was iritated by Gamon Shinichi who happen to be Nagi's ex boyfriend..Such total jerk man can be. But ,after seeing the true color of him in ep 8, I can understand why he behaved like that . Sometimes ,the cruel -est people are the one who lose and hurt themselves very hard.

This scene when Nagi comforting her bestfriend, Sakamoto is truly emotionally touching. I used to be in Sakamoto's position so I know how she felt. But what Nagi said is also true. See, what i love about this drama is , we are driven to get in depth of each one struggle which we are usually face in real life and how they cope with that.

A third prequel of Ie Uru Onna 2016. Lots of light and fresh jokes .Even though the topic mainly about business, it's the type of drama you can enjoy after work to get some laughs without too much thinking.

this idealist superwoman lol.

soo anoying SHO

Have you ever met 'himomen' in real life? I do, one of them is my acquaintance. Eventhough it's a hella funny comedy drama, it lies an ironic fact to alert us that 'himomen' phenomenon happen and growing in our society too. Watching this drama has made me realize ,perhaps the most severe disease is laziness. No medication and no one can cure this .The only person who can help is themselves.The will to REALLY CHANGE need to rise from the inside out.

Rating : 4.5 / 5

After years apart, she encounters cameraman Shuji (BOYS AND MEN's Masaru Mizuno), a past flame and her first love. Together, they're caught up in the romantic turbulence amongst three other men and women.- cr@wakuwakujapan

My second attempt to watch another drama of Miki Honoka after Itakiss. Honestly, it's cliche drama indeed and might suit younger viewer/ teens better. But since Honoka's ootds very pretty here, I bear to watch it till the end.Some scenes are just sweet , just like when you read those romance japanese manga

Rating : 4 / 5
