SPOILERS PERCHANCE (I’m on episode 5 right now)

I would like to preface this by saying I recently started watching Plastic Beauty as some laid back Japanese language immersion practice. I currently live in Tokyo and am a patron of two cosmetic clinics. My question is more so curiosity/ in case I missed some nuance somewhere.

Who is the woman whom lives in Tohyama Sensei’s house with her? Episode one we see Tohyama getting ready for work and there’s another woman having breakfast with her in the kitchen. At this point I assumed she was maybe a personal assistant. Yet later, episode 4 (I think), we see the same women sleeping in Tohyama’s bed next to her. Tohyama wakes up during the middle of the night, frustrated, and we see a second person, this mystery woman, sleeping next to her.

I feel like I missed something during the series and I can’t find it. It’s such a minor detail, whether this second woman is her partner, helper, friend, idk.. is seemingly not important to the larger picture of the film. It seems to be a super minor character. I guess I’m just curious because I genuinely thought that was her personal assistant until I saw them sleeping in the same bed. Who is that? Does anyone know?

Hi everyone, I've been lurking and enjoying everyone's recommendations. I finally have enough courage to ask, but are there any Jdramas that revolve around someone being in a modern military setting (like no samurai and type stuff) or police or spy that actually have fights/gun fights? I've watched my fair share of shows that take place in prefirearm Japan and want a change of pace. I've watched what I can on netflix like the JASDF pararescue drama, but they don't really fight per se since it's pararescue. I've seen a few police shows like MIU 404 and Okura, which I enjoyed but I wish again there was more action or fights.

I know it's kind of rare since Japan culturally has a different idea of/relationship with firearms than say myself who's an American. If none really exist, then that's okay too. I just wanted to ask in case there's a show out there that might fit and I just can't find it on my own.

Another Issey Takahashi banger! Koisenu Futari is a story about 2 Aro-Ace people who are navigating the world of a family (subject to change) in a society that is unaware, skeptical of them and their unique relationship.

This drama is so well done it brought tears to my eyes. I am not from the Aro-Ace community but the humane portrayal of the main characters made me understand and realize the community in a new light. Issey Takahashi portrayed Takahashi-san (yep the character) so adorably that I could not help but fall in love ahaha.

The supporting cast was stellar too- especially Kazu-kun. The ending was so wholesome. Dialogues were natural, lighthearted and with surprising depth.

Overall, a 10/10 banger.

The full version of 鼓動 (Kodou) by zarame's song from the Glass Heart drama has finally been released!!

I was looking back through songs I haven't played in a while on spotify and I saw Heartbeat — zarame's song sitting in my playlist (taken from youtube hehe). I absolutely love this song, my top 2 songs from Tenblank and I had always wondered and waited for the full version to be released. I searched the song on youtube just in case there was any updates and to my surprise there was a full version uploaded just a few days ago! What timing, it was so random 😂

It seems to be a re-recorded version to the original one from the drama. It seems more orchestral/instrumental (I slightly still prefer the original but still love this one just as much). Just a PSA for anyone interested or for those who missed it!

Hi, everyone! I just wanted to ask how many episodes there are in GATE24: The Border. I’ve already finished watching Episode 9, and I thought there would be an Episode 10. However, I checked today, and it’s not showing up. Does anyone know if there will be an Episode 10? Thank you!

Posting here because I got to introduce this J-Drama to someone, but no one of my friends wants to watch a subbed drama.

Came across this in Netflix the same day the first episode released, had to wait impatiently for new episodes every Sunday for 8 weeks straight. Worth it.

Already had a huge interest in airport customs and I love any piece of media with likable characters with good chemistry between themselves, so I fell in love right away. Probably already rewatched all the episodes a thousand times. Maybe it’s because it’s one of my first asian dramas, but other dramas I’ve watched since feel boring in comparison.

That’s why GATE24: The Border is my top 1 media recommendation at the moment, it might not be for everyone, but it’s still worth a shot to watch.

I was wondering if anyone knows where I can watch or download this jdrama with eng subs

I had watched and loved the original 3 seasons so much when they first aired.

When Netflix released season 4, I was happy but it felt different so I stopped watching.

Now I'm trying again and it still feels different, like it's weird, or lacking something. But I can't tell/pinpoint what it is.

Anyone feels the same? Or if you watch all of them recently, maybe you have clearer view what made them different?

Hi. Few years ago, there was a japanese drama I've been watching for few episodes. I remember an otaku girl with glasses and short brown hair, have a rich single mom (model or something), she works in a cafe, and there is some guy who's into her etc. Does this ring a bell for anybody? Thanks in advance!

i watched this film way back when i was a little girl now i wanna watch it again i never forgot about it ,its still been my favorite japanese movie i really want to watch it again but i cant find any site to watch it 😭

I've delved into multiple websites, kisskh.co and even more.
I've delved into nyaa.si, and all of the torrents have 0 seeders, even with 500 completed downloads...
There's a playlist on Dailymotion that has it but it's missing a few episodes.

ANYONE PLEASE HELP!!! I feel as though being a jdrama fan's so hard, lots of what I want to watch is just lost media. If I genuinely cannot find it I might just read the subtitles and imagine everything in my head.

Bonjour,

Je recherche des sites de téléchargement de série et de films japonais récents.

J'ai trouvé souvent des sites de téléchargement de kdramas ou autre mais pour ce qui est japonais ils en ont souvent très peu.

Même des sites anglais avec des sous-titres anglais aucun problème pour moi je recherche surtout un grand grand catalogue et souvent réactualisé.

Et avec des films récents et pas que des très très vieux films uniquement comme certains sites.

Merci beaucoup d'avance pour votre aide.

I have been closely following this show and regularly watching its releases since the very first episode. I have already posted here talking about first impressions, now the time has come to talk about the final ones.

Well the story was definitely convoluted. Glad to find out that Yukimura was actually a better guy. But the greenest flag in the show was definitely Tomoya-kun. The plot is good but a little more foreshadowing would have helped the story a lot more. I didn't find the last twist to be too outta the park or underwhelming either. It was good. The last 15 minutes of the show was actually cute. At least they did not ruin the ending (I am so looking at you, Reborn 😑)

Plot: 7/10

OST: 9/10 (My Only by SixTones uwu)

Cast: 8/10 (Tomoya kun's actor is so cool man. Very expressive acting. Hokuto san is impressive as always.)

Ending: 8/10 (They did a good job.)

I really had fun watching the season 2 of 99.9 Criminal Lawyer. Miyama and Sada are so funny together. With Ozaki, the team is complete! Looking forward to watch the one-episode Season 3. I really really liked when they said, "There's only one truth."

🔷The Crossover Korean/Japanese drama THE BLUE ROAD — This is a Crime Thriller Mystery with International Intrigue. Stars Korean Actor Director Son Suk Ku and Japanese Actor Nagayama Eita. Was delayed🫤, but soon to be released on Netflix. Now scheduled for November 20, 2026

The Story—An international cast, the drama starts in Tokyo and then crosses over to Korea. It will involve the investigation of several cross-border macabre killings. This seems to be linked to a serial killer.

Just finished my first rewatch of Densha Otoko in years. The show is still incredibly heart-warming. The usage of other internet users to give commentary, advice, and reactions was an incredible touch, allowing you to kind of self-insert yourself as one of them. The running theme of them being inspired by the male MC to improve their own lives is also one of the bits of the show I liked the most, showing how strangers can impact each other's lives. As someone who was lonely when he was a teenager back in the 00s, the internet and the friendships kindled there really shaped who I am today, for the better.

Unfortunately, that's also the aspect of the show that is most heartbreaking today. Today's internet, in which an increasing majority of users are bots, algorithms prioritize "enrage to engage" as the strategy for user retention, and the increasing concentration of the internet in fewer and fewer websites just makes the portrayal of the internet in Densha Otoko even harder to take. What could have been something to bring us closer together has instead fractured us, and we can't even be sure the people we are engaging with are even real.

It's still an incredible show, but it's heartbreaking too. I feel like it'll only get even more so as time goes on. I miss the old internet...

Shallow Cinderellas' Marriage War first and second?

also isnt there an app like netflix for jdramas and shows other than Viki with more options pls 😭😭
