1. Skip Beat!

2. Nodame Cantabile
Japanese Drama - 2006, 11 episodes
The comedic parts, the music, the portrayal of the characters is brilliant, everything works here.
Probably the best live action made from a manga adaptation ever and is better than even the anime and even the original manga.

3. Meninos Antes de Flores
Japanese Drama - 2005, 9 episodes
They managed to make something timeless with this series.
The best version of the Boys Over Flowers live action series because it is much shorter than the other ones and straight to the plot without filler drama.

4. O Jogo do Mentiroso
Japanese Drama - 2007, 11 episodes
A very good survival game type of show that did the tropes before it was cool.

5. Amor em Operação
Japanese Drama - 2007, 11 episodes
A more interesting kind of love story that is more relatable than most people think even though it has a fantasy plot device.

6. 1 Litro de Lágrimas
Japanese Drama - 2005, 11 episodes
Probably the best tv drama of its genre.
A very sad story and at the same time a hopeful portrayal of helplessness.

7. Jardim de Meteoros
Taiwanese Drama - 2001, 19 episodes
This is the first live action tv adaptation of the Boys Over Flowers story .
The differences on the plot and on the characters personalities only enhance the viewing of this masterpiece.

An amazing story about the cooking genre.
It starts slowly and then progresses into a great epic story.
