Man, is K-ent keeps on pissing me off I’m going to have to pare down my drama intake and hopefully pray both TW-dramas and J-doramas produce enough interesting productions to keep my interest. Luckily Spring 2021 has a classic renzoku on calendar, remember those peeps?!! Love is Deep (Koi wa Deep ni) stars Ishihara Satomi and Ayano Go, both prolific and charismatic Japanese stars in their first time working together and the plot is straight out of the opposites attract trope. I actually am so happy to see it because no one can possibly be offended lol. Satomi plays a passionate oceanographer and marine preservationist who butts heads and then falls in love with Ayano Go’s heirs to a beach resort who wants to expand the property. It’s like a endangered species protector falling in love with a big game hunter, but with less stakes I hope. HK-ent did this already with The Mermaid with an actual mermaid stopping a marine development project by winning the heart of the formerly heartless developer so win-win, love wins and the ocean wins. The dorama premieres in mid-April on NTV.
So the most recent casting for this drama is now confirmed as the final selection…
So there is a popularity award in both the film and the television sections of…
I have such a soft spot for C-actress Yang Mi and it just makes me…
So Queen of Tears was filmed in 2023 and wrapped awhile ago so it's not…
I think viewers are being either honest or stingy with their votes but the latest…

Aaahhh i love both!!! Can't wait for this one. Ayano is good in a romantic role. Never doubt Satomi???.
I'm completely out of the loop when it comes to Jdramas.
Can anyone tell me of any good Jdramas that came out in the past 2 years?
I loved office story Watashi, Teiji de Kaerimasu totally can relate.
Everyone loved Koi wa Tsuzuku yo Doko Made mo (An Incurable Case of Love) because Sato Takeru in a renzoku c'mon!
Anata no Ban Desu was super mind blowing and thriller fun.
Hajimete Koi o Shita Hi ni Yomu Hanashi (A Story to Read When You First Fall in Love) was popular but I didn't get into it dunno why.
I also wanna recommend:
Radiation House - medical drama
3 Ned A Gumi / Class 3 A / Mr. Hiragii's Homeroom - highly recommend this one.
Ore No Hanashi wa Nagai / if talking paid - human drama
Watashitachi wa douka shiteiru - mystery revenge drama romance
Unnatural - forensic medical drama
Dele - investigative drama (?)
Gino to musume no Blues / stepmother and daughter blues - family drama
Anywau i am so glad for this pairing. Been hoping for a romance drama with dr.storks...
Loved Koi wa Tsuzuku yo Doko Made mo, possibly one of my favorite jdoramas ever
Shanai Marriage Honey was a sweet, slice-of-life marriage drama (marriage first, love later trope). Became a fan of Itagaki Mizuki because of this, he's too cute.
Thanks @ockoala for this post . i was thinking of going back to jdramas ( i didn't watch any since 201? , and i was lost . I'm going to try the ones you mentioned .
I've completely lost interest in the K-doramas. Now I am absolutely passionate about the J-doramas of the 90s-00s. They're great.
I almost didnt recognize Ayano Go in those pictures. Did he do something to his face?
It has been a long time I was hooked by J-doramas. I didnt watch anything new these couple of years, but I did rewatched my old favorite doramas.
that was my first thought too. he looks so oddly.. pinched. he's looking so weird in these pics. I've never found him attractive but he was never this strange looking
Is that really Ayano go?
Did he gain weight,he looks different.
I think satomi is so beautiful and charming and Ayano is cold but strikingly handsome (depends on taste but I think he is).
I'll be in tune.
