I’ve been learning Japanese for a few years now, my reading is pretty good but my listening is terrible. I’ve been actively trying to watch more Japanese content but I’m not a huge fan of anime. So I’ve been getting into Japanese dramas. I’ve found some good ones from just randomly browsing Japanese netflix but I’ve found it hard to find recommendations. Anyone have any suggestions of something I need to watch?

    I really enjoyed Midnight Diner 深夜食堂. It’s pretty simple and every episode tells a story with new characters. For something a bit more exciting, I enjoyed Alice in Borderland.

      I also can only recommend “Midnight Diner”, and found “Samurai Gourmet” pretty good.

    逃げるは恥だが役に立つ was fun to watch. Fairly standard j-drama with a bunch of the tropes but it was very popular when it came out. English title is “We married as a Job”
