[edit] TV Dorama vs. Audio Dorama

TV Doramas and Audio Doramas are completely different! There should either be a disambiguation page, a totally seperate page titled Audio Dorama/Drama or the distinct meaning and characteristics of both should be made much clearer. --Xaliqen 09:27, 2005 Jan 23 (UTC)

Great, why don't you get that started in the opening paragraph and the audio section? Once there's enough material it'll be easier split up. There's already an audio drama page, maybe take that as a template?--24.114.252.183 22:33, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Popular dramas

What is the point of the 'List of Japanese TV dramas' section? Shouldn't this be something more like a list of popular dramas as an example to the reader and not just a random list of dramas? (Granted, Beautiful life was a popular drama.)

The reader is better served with an external link to japanese drama related sites with drama listings and information. I've added one to jdorama.com, are there any more out there?

[edit] Wikification

I think somebody needs to go through this article and clean it up to sound more encyclopedic. Asking questions like "How do we come up with these ratings?" or whatever sounds like it was taken from an NHK pamphlet or something. Was it? We should get rid of all those references to 'you' as well.

Pulsemeat

Yeah. This article is heavy on "fan-stuff", but lacks a neutral description of the thing itself. --84.58.6.68 16:34, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Yeah I feel more like I am reading an essay rather then a wiki article. I will do some work to make is sound more neutral but I think with a job like this it will require three or so people to get it in a good enough state to remove the brand on it. Any way lets do our best to get it wikified.--Link25 08:33, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

I've try to neutralize the "Why the dramas start...." into "Dramas's starting...". The first would have sense if you do know when they start... and most people don't. --85.48.107.0 14:38, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quality of Acting

Do we really need a section proclaiming that the quality of acting in Japanese Dramas is poor? Compared to what? American TV shows? Please. To insult the acting skills of the entire collection of drama artists because "some artists are not cut out for television acting" is ridiculous. 68.206.100.60 14:19, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

However, excellent acting skills is not that common - and it isn't demanded by the Japanese drama fans.

And to me this is kind of insulting to the Japanese drama fans >_> --137.189.4.1 04:06, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

I believe the "Quality of Acting" section was written without any proves whatsoever. I watch Dramas of all languages, and I think Japanese dramas have the best acting, if there's one type of drama with poor acting, it'd be C-Dramas (especially Taiwan ones), but I believe Japanese actors and actresses are comparable with Hollywood movie actors.

These are valid concerns. We certainly don't need articles that are just expressing one editor's POV. It looks like the section you were concerned with has been removed, and rightfully so. Content should be properly sourced, per WP:CITE and WP:Verifiability, while keeping in mind the all-important WP:NPOV. Feel free join in editing this article, keeping in mind these policies, as obviously a lot of work needs to be done. --Chan-Ho (Talk) 23:58, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I think that you can find more Dorama infos in Chinese (Traditional) websites then English

just like日本偶像劇場 Because Taiwan has been ruled by Japan 50 years. Though that time there's no TV in Asia, the cultural influence is very much. And there are 2 CHs(always, also many CHs sometimes)broadcasts Dorama!--140.113.197.91 15:57, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
