This one was a good family drama with a little bit of romance, wish there was more because I love the pairing. Has all the Japanese quirkiness but keeps its realism. It’s not perfect because it does get bogged down a bit with the family drama but it was good.
I’ve actually never watched a Japanese drama before (just anime, but I’m sure those are quite different). Do you have any recommendations out of the ones on Viki or maybe Netflix?
Can’t help you much with a rec. I only have two I recommend. “Nodame Cantabile” and it’s subsequent movies, you can watch on crunchyroll. And this one.
I have only watched a few Japanese dramas, but Overprotected Kahoko is such a heart warming gem!
There are not too many J-drama options on Viki in my region (US). If you like noona romance, I enjoyed the new Kimi Wa Petto (2017). My favorite Japanese drama is We Married As a Job (Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu) and it is worth seeking out!

Just finished binge-watching “Overprotected Kahoko”. It was a good decision.

I was planning to ask if any of the new Japanese dramas on Viki were good. Though the most interesting looking one to me is Frankenstein’s Love.

I didn’t even know Crunchyroll had dramas. Thanks!
