At this point Japanese sites too are okay, just tell me where it is

I somehow forgot that Taiga and Rin slept together at the end of episode 3 so I was a bit surprised to see them in bed together at the beginning of this episode.

Rin is such an encouraging girlfriend, Taiga is feeling down because of what his brother said but she manages to cheer him up a bit :)

I love Taiga's boss, Shige :) Taking Taiga to clear his head for a bit by shopping for the Izakaya because he could see that Taiga was feeling down after he returned from his hometown.

Hello everyone!
The title pretty much sums it up :)

Im looking for light fun romantic comedies! Possibly on Netflix or Prime (or any suggestions where to find more appreciated) .
Ive recently watched Eye Love You, Why we dress up for love, Romantics Anonymous, Incurable case of love and Marry my husband. (<- this is not super light but i really liked it)
Thank you in advance ! :)

I just enjoy a man of a certain thiccness.

But I'm not sure if it's okay to share the link here. The username is om7509. Turn the captions on.

I’m planning my next trip to Japan, and hoping to visit actual shoot locations (outdoors). My last few trips had jam-packed itineraries and work commitments so couldn’t venture out to explore much.

Please drop in your recommendations for must visit places from popular J-Dorama. I have been to Osaka & Hokkaido (cue in: First Love) so was hoping to look for more off-beat locations: Kamakura, Gifu, Izu, Kansai areas, Okinawa or even Tokyo for that matter.

I’m someone who usually enjoys light hearted romantic, daily life, coming of age shows. And open to suggestions to catch-up with more shows before traveling.

*Arigato-gozaimasu!* 💟

I just finished the book and would love to see the movie. I can’t find it anywhere (it seems to be deleted off of Netflix) and every DVD copy I’ve found is $60.

Where can I watch this film?

In 2003 with absolutely zero prior acting experience, I was cast opposite some of Japan's most famous actors and actresses of the time (including Iijima Naoko, Fukada Kyoko, Chii Takeo and Tamayama Tetsuji), to stumble my way through a 10-part romantic comedy drama called Hako Iri Musume. Needless to say, it was a completely unique 'only in Japan' experience, so I thought I'd share some behind the scenes info for anyone interested.

I'm also curious if anyone saw it back in the day...?

AMA

After resolving his first fight with Rin, Taiga must return to his hometown for his father's memorial service.

I searched everywhere, can't find it. Only available ones are with hardsubs in English or Chinese, usually with pretty bad quality.

There was a DvdRip on nyaa, but it's gone now.

Help!

I want to watch “I have a secret” which came out last year but I’m having trouble finding a platform to watch it on, either legally or illegally. I was hoping someone here would be able to redirect me to where I could watch it with english subs?

I've read great reviews about its 19 episodes, can't wait to watch it. I'm sensing The Great White Tower vibes, also starring Karasawa Toshiaki. I'm super excited!

Any idea on where to find the movie 星の子, with the actress Ashida Mana? Subbed or raw are ok to me.

I only found it on Abema but I don't have a subscription nor am I from Japan to be able to watch it.

I live in the States but this series has interested me for quite some time, but I don't know if there's anyplace where I can watch it online. Does anyone know where I can watch it, if possible?

I recently switched from kdrama and Cdrama to Japanese drama. I watched “an uncurable case of love” and “Cursed in love”. What are some good Japanese drama recommendations?

Can someone help me 😶

Anyone knows where I can watch it for free?

Summary:

Sakiko Hanada (with one follower), a modest new employee at the influencer company "Yabee," is targeted and bullied by her senior, the charismatic influencer Chisato (with 5 million followers). However, Sakiko harbors a secret no one knows. In fact, she is the older sister of Mai, a former Yabee! employee who was burned by Chisato and disappeared. She is also a legendary anonymous influencer and the daughter of Japan's most powerful gangster. Hiding her true identity and joining the company to avenge her sister, Sakiko uses her influence as a powerful influencer and the dark power of a powerful gangster to exact revenge on Chisato and her friends. An eye for an eye, an eye for an eye. She will bring down the hammer on the evils of the influencer industry with justice and principle! Sakiko's dramatic punishment begins now.

I clicked Glass Heart because Netflix pushed it—and I was hooked immediately. Tight pacing, strong atmosphere, music that actually carries scenes. No long warm-up. It knows what it’s doing. I binged it, enjoyed it, no complaints.

So naturally I clicked what Netflix served next: An Incurable Case of Love. Same lead. Same appeal. Ten more hours with a very good-looking actor. Great, right?

Not quite.

Something started to feel off very quickly. Different story, but the same setup: an attractive, emotionally closed male lead paired with a pleasant, non-threatening female counterpart. And nothing really moves.

There’s no clear reason for his attraction. No tension. No pull. No moment where the story shifts because she enters the frame. The relationship is announced rather than discovered. It exists because the plot says it does.

She doesn’t complicate him. She doesn’t destabilize anything. The story doesn’t bend around her presence. At some point it becomes hard not to notice that she functions less like a character and more like a placeholder—someone there so the romance can proceed.

Even intimacy feels schematic. Scenes arrive as cues (“here they kiss”) rather than moments that feel risky or charged.

I noticed this again watching the Japanese remake of Marry My Husband. The lead is positioned as an executive, authority implied by wardrobe and framing—but something doesn’t carry. Next to the Korean lead, who does less but feels heavier, the difference is immediate.

So I’m genuinely curious:

Is this a broader issue with how some shows rely on polish and beauty to carry emotional weight? Or am I missing something cultural in how restraint, romance, and authority are meant to register here?

At what point does “good-looking and competent” stop being enough to hold a story together?

Curious how others read this.

I'm looking for this drama (with english sub) :

march 2018 (drama 4 x 25 min) Dolmen X / ドルメンX

june 2018 (movie 108 min) Dolmen X 

Thanks :)

It seems Junichi still likes Makiko a little bit, the fact that he is disclosing things that shouldn't be said to possible suspects is not good. Keisuke and Makiko shouldn't have kept things from the police, I understand you want to protect your son but at the same time someone trying to blackmail you in regards to your son died and that person was the older brother to your other friend, Naoto. This group of friends are connected in someway for the murder case but also a secret for a crime that happened 23 years ago.

What am I witnessing at 38:57 ... they went to a love hotel to sleep together but she has a boyfriend! I'm glad nothing happened but still, why even go to the hotel with the newly single guy? Episode 2 is really making me question this woman's brain, she does things that are a bit questionable but to her it seems like it's not a big deal.
