At the current date my favorite so far is Dokushin Kizoku (shock) (it's exactly my type of drama, even complete with my cutie Keiko) and most looked forward to is Ando Roido and Shinryojo.

I feel like this season would have been complete if there was an Eikura Nana drama in it. I know a lot of people hate her, but I find her quite likeable with a nice attitude in her work.

  1. hi, if you don't mind, could you please tell me where I can find 720p Raws for these dramas..specially Dokushin Kizoku? The ones in d-addict have really poor quality.

    1. Nope, unfortunately finding jdramas still seems to be quite difficult. The chinese/japanese hardsub version is higher quality, but the hardsubs might be annoying. I wish they were more accessible!
