I've been watching Japanese dramas since I was 11 when I was influenced by a friend who was crazy for Johnneys, the biggest entertainment company in Japan, reknown for the cradle of hansome guys' groupe.
At first, I just wanted to know more about the idols I like. Gradually, I found that Japanese drama are much more intersting than those of Taiwanese for that there are a variety of themes, such as education, love, career life, medical care, food etc I kill time by watching Japanese drams meanwhile, I learn something like medical terms, Japanese traditions etc
Great Teacher Onizuka
I've watched this drama several times in that it has been played reapetedly on cable channels.
I like it because we'll probably never meet such a cool teacher who really care for his students and try his best to understand his students.
It's difficult to find a clip with English subtitles so what I add above may not be the most interesting part.
Other dramas concerned education that I've watched are
Dragon Sakura: Adapted from comic books that shares tips to enter Tokyo University, the best university in Japan. We should always work hard. Knowing how to stydy efficiently, we'll enjoy learning.
Goddess of tests
I can't find a clip of this one.
Even elementary school have to pass exams to enter good junior high schools. What a competitive society!
