what are some good japanese dramas that thrills, excite, make ur blood pumping with action and heart racing and brain overworking and confused?
I mean a good police/detective drama, solving crimes, firefighting, coast guard, puzzling, action etc.
I usually watch those comedic, lighthearted japanese dramas, thrown in with some dramatic, life-lesson, heartwarming moments that don't ruin the mood. it makes u laugh and cry (though not too much). like those idol dramas or the ones usually above idol dramas.
but I'd never really watch an serious, action-oriented, puzzling crime-solving, police/detective or any with that sort. which makes me wonder if such dramas actually exist in japan, or even that if the public wants to view such dramas so as to steer society from such scene and subject? I dunno since I'd never heard of such. Japan is like a peaceful country...
Usually I get my action packed dramas from HK TVB series from the 90's to early 2000's (I don't like current HK dramas, not of the same caliber).
-Burning Flames 1
-Armed Reaction 1,2,3,4
-Detective Investigation Files
and some good action kung-fu, comedy, drama ancient series like:
-Deer and the Cauldron 1997
-The Condors Trilogy
-The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils (TVB, 1997)
-The Flying Fox of the Snowy Mountain 1999 (TVB, 1999)
etc.
i wanted to watch japanese dramas like these.
I did watch NHK taiga drama Fuurin Kazan and loved it. Hopefully i can find more dramas like that.
in Detective/police Dramas, I'd watch quite a bit growing up, american and hk series, but the one that stands above all for me is the anime series Detective Conan (Case Closed) now I'd compared those to DC. I want a drama of this quality. I watched Deathnote and the way they play it out is like a first-rate detective fiction. I loved the live action as well.
