In random order, these are movies i've watched and not recommended, and for the dramas, mostly are the ones i only watched either 1 or 2 episodes or straight from 1st episode to the final episode, or can't even finish the first episode.
1. Bara no nai no hana ya
Genre: Drama, family
Despite the good ratings (about 18% something and 22% for its first episode), I can only watched episode 1, forced my self to watch episode 2 (as they promote this drama as things may not be as it seems which makes me want to know), then the third episode and i just went straight to final episode (fast forward to literally the last few minutes). The plot is boring and the main character (played by my favorite Japanese celebrity, Katori Shingo) is too good to be true (which is boring).
2. Shiawase ni narou yo
Genre: Drama
Again, i only start to watch it because Katori Shingo, yet the story and characters are too plain, the main characters chemistry are BIG 0, so i just gave up until the third episode. I haven't even watch the final episode. I know someday I will go through it just for the sake of learning Japanese (and fan-girling).
3. Inu wo kau to iu koto
Genre: Family
It follows a young family struggling with low income and having to dealt with the children's strong desire to keep an astray dog. It is simply boring, that i didn't bother to watch the final episode
4. Hotelier
Genre: Drama
The only reason i started to watch it because I want to learn hospitality's jargon in japanese. The story has hardly any climax, the plot is weak and just boring. But so far i've managed to finish (well with help of forwarding some of it) until episode 4 and final episode. Just 5 more to go.
5. Juvenile
Genre: Sci-fiction
The plot is stupid. It's about some children encountered aliens invading the earth. I can't remember much.
6. Toki wo kakeru shojo (The girl who lept through time - the live action)
Genre: Fantasy
My japanese friend introduced the anime to me and said he likes it, so i decided to give it a go. I watched the anime before the movie was released, and i just don't enjoy it. I watched the movie and still don't enjoy it. To me it has no climax at all
7. Fukatsu eri no burakome
Genre: Black comedy
I just don't get the japanese black comedy. Period
8. Scrap teacher
Genre: Drama
With Fukatsu eri no burakome, scrap teacher has to be on top of the worst short Japanese drama. It follows 4 elite students who gave teacher they deem as bad a lesson (what the...). Luckily it is very short.
9. Go
Genre: Drama
I think i've ran out of japanese movies that i want to watch, maybe that's why i watched go. It is not interesting at all, though i managed to finish and didn't skip forward. It is a story of a Korean teen who was born in Japan and is facing discrimination and fell in love with a japanese girl. It has a happy ending.
10. Canonball Wedlock
Genre: Drama
The poster looks fun and is a chick flick, but the story is boring and again is climax-less. Good modern japanese movie is very rare.
There are many more like waiting in the dark (suspense drama movie), ii hito (drama), one pound of gospel and many more.
