Full Throttle Girl Japanese Drama Free Download
Today's big filmy list looks at the best ever Samurai movies. These range from the classic 'Easterns' of Akira Kurosawa, to the modern day epics that pay such homage to his work. There's something deeply satisfying about watching a samurai film; about seeing historical figures demonstrate total control over mind and body (as you lazily break open another tin of Quality Street while slouched on the sofa).Oh, and as a special favour to all you purists out there, there isn't a single Tom Cruise movie in sight. Although, there are worse films than The Last Samurai. Anyway, enjoy.15. Samurai (1979)The Movie: This B-movie classic sees kung-fu legend Sonny Chiba as a present day military man who finds himself transported 400 years into the past, along with the rest of his squadron.
Under attack from hordes of samurai, he joins forces with an ancient warlord and agrees to help turn the tide in war-torn Japan.The Samurai: Yoshiaki Iba, a grunt from the Japanese army, who soon realises that modern weaponry won't be enough to outdo the skilled warriors of old. Luckily, he's also a dab hand with a samurai sword.Why It's Great: Chiba is on fine form throughout, and even though the premise is frankly ludicrous, there are some truly excellent fight scenes on show. Definitely one to file under 'guilty pleasure'. The Twilight Samurai (2002)The Movie: Favouring character-driven drama over more traditional action beats, Twilight Samurai follows the tale of a 19th century samurai who attempts to protect a battered woman (who is also a former love) whilst conforming to the rigid demands of feudal society. Wildly popular in Japan, it was picked up on by Western critics and eventually nominated for a foreign language Oscar.The Samurai: Seibei Iguchi is a profoundly likeable hero, what with his slightly dog-eared appearance and long-suffering expression.
Having sold his sword to pay for his wife's funeral, defending the honour of his childhood sweetheart is going to be harder than it ought to be.Why It's Great: While the idea of a samurai movie conjures up ideas of complex choreography and severed limbs, this low key character piece shows a different side to the genre. Well worth seeking out, it's a thoughtful, affecting drama with a pleasingly uplifting ending.
To most people, the first thing that comes to their mind when I say the words 'Japanese drama' is usually 'Ooohh, yeah, they're so weird!' , which I admit, some are. But that's the thing. Since most people think all Japanese dramas have over-exaggerated facial expressions and crazy acting, they often overlook a heavily undiscovered part of J-dorama: Japanese Rom Coms.Sure, they aren't as.magical. as a K-drama, with all its fancy filters and 'Opppaaaaa's, but once you get hooked, there's no turning back.
So here are 5 highly recommended J-dorama rom coms for you try (in my opinion, of course). These are the ones I have watched, so other recommendations are welcomed in the comments!1.
(We Got Married As A Job)Cast:,Story: ' 25-year-old Moriyama Mikuri graduated but had no job offers. She became a temporary employee but was even laid off. So while she is taking a break right now, Mikuri feels unwanted and displaced.
She starts work as a housekeeper for bachelor Tsuzaki Hiramasa by chance. One day, he proposes a contract marriage to her. The two of them get married in secret, but will their married life work out?' - MDL.The show is slow, but the relationship development between the quiet, shy and recluse Tsuzaki and the outgoing and hardworking Mikuri is really sweet.
This drama is for all those who like a slow, but pretty G-rated romance. It has an extremely familiar face nearly all J-dorama fans can recognise: Aragaki Yui, who is also the star of our next drama.2. (Full Throttle Girl)Cast:,Story: Ayukawa Wakaba, a hard working and ambitious young woman, gets a job at a highly reputed law firm. She must babysit her boss' young 5-year-old daughter, Hinata. As Wakaba navigates the tough world of babysitting, she reluctantly takes help from the father of Hinata's closest friend, Yamada Sota, a stay-at-home dad and the complete opposite of Wakaba.There are very few dramas that can make me want to watch it again- this was one of them.
There were so many times in this show where the ice-cold block on the left side of my chest felt like melting. Wakaba's childhood, Sota's dream (that he had to give up) and the people around them made this drama extremely lovable!3. (Please Love the Useless Me)Cast:,Story: After losing her job and her savings almost drained from spending on her much younger boyfriend, 30-year-old Shibata Michiko has no clue what to do- until her scary ex-boss allows her to work for him in his restaurant in exchange for food.This drama is absolutely adorable and gave me a few days of drama withdrawal because I couldn't bear to watch any other drama while still thinking of the amazing characters of this one. Everything about this drama hit it juuust right for me, from the acting to the story, to the omurice that Michiko loves. The manga it's adapted from is great, too!4. (Operation Proposal)Cast:,Story: 'Iwase Ken and Yoshida Rei have been friends since elementary school. Ken, is obstinate and unskilled in love, but he fell long ago for the lively and cheerful, Rei.

But Rei is about to get married to another man. While Ken and other friends from high-school attend the wedding ceremony, a fairy appears and sends Ken back in time, giving him a second chance to win the girl he loves.'
- MDLThis classic J-Dorama has been remade into 2 very popular Korean and, more recently, Chinese versions, so I won't actually be surprised if you've actually seen the drama itself or one of its remakes. Of course, nothing can beat the original, it's been remade multiple times for a reason!5. (I'm Your Destiny)Cast:,Story: What if someone came up to you, told you he was God and that if you don't marry and produce a child with a certain woman by the end of the year, the world would be destroyed? That's exactly the situation Makoto Masaki is forced to face.
Unlucky in love, Masaki has been through more heartbreaks and failures than he possibly could face. So when this mysterious man who insists on calling himself God tells him he'll help out in pursuing the woman he must marry, Masaki's first response is to scoff. But after he realises that his path has crossed with this woman multiple times throughout his life, too many to count as a mere coincidence, he becomes convinced that they're destined.
Now, all he has to do is convince her, too.Kamenashi Kazuya and Yamashita Tomohisa are a powerhouse duo in the J-dorama world, having previously acted together in another extremely popular drama, and that chemistry and familiarity show in their interactions with each other in this show. While the female lead was also good, the supporting characters are almost blindingly incredible, with how they help the main characters through every hurdle and every problem.Special Mention:Cast:,Story: Satonaka Haru, an ice-hockey star and ladies' man, meets Murase Aki, a woman who has been waiting for her boyfriend to return to Japan for the past few years with no contact, and asks if he can be in a relationship with her until her boyfriend returns home. Aki, an ordinary OL (office lady), surprisingly agrees and thus begins their time-bound romance. But what happens when Aki's real boyfriend returns.?I added this as a special mention because it's not exactly a rom-com, but a romance-drama, but the show is just too incredible to leave out.I was initially hesitant about watching this because of the crazy long description I saw of it on MDL and the fact that the only thing I know about ice hockey is that it's on ice, but still deciding to go for it and watch the show is probably one of the best decisions I've taken in my entire life!

You don't even need to know anything about ice hockey to enjoy this the show since the plot doesn't revolve around ice hockey as much as the romance between Haru and Aki.Honorable Mentions:Here are some more dramas that are recommended, in case you want more:(Perfect Girl Evolution; The Wallflower) adapted from a manga(Glow of Fireflies) adapted from a manga(From 5 to 9) adapted from a mangaThanks for reading!
