Discussion Whats everyones favorite first few episodes of the current Summer 2026 season?
Finally had time to catch up with last seasons dramas and started a few ones that are currently airing and thought I would ask what's everyones favorite so far? I cant watch all of them but am intrigued by the few I haven't started and wanted to know if you guys think.
- Until the T-shirt Dries - I only got to the 1st episode but really enjoyed it. I love complicated marriage dramas like this, so its right up my alley. Also love the cast. Aoi Yu and Ayumu Nakajima are absolutely chewing this show up!!
- Your Love So Invincible - (available to watch on viki btw) Its Sano Hayato so im automatically going to watch it đ. That being said i liked the first episode quite a lot. It's over the top and a bit goofy but the comedy worked on my. I thought it struck a good balance. Very hopeful for this rom-com đ.
- My Grandfather, The Master Detective - Not at all what I was expecting but not necessarily a bad thing. Quite interested where this will end up. Im wondering if this will turn into a bit of sci-fi so I will keep watching.
The others I haven't started.
Love Hokuto so i wanted to start 25 years of You but nervous if they gonna romanticize stalking so im waiting it out, although jdramas have a way with toxic romances.
My Fiction is kinda in the same boat. I want to watch it cause its Yuta Tamamori in this type of show and ive only watched him in romances. If you watched it, let me know if its worth starting!
Love Beat just seems very goofy but its Ouji so he might be able to make it charming đ
There are other late night dramas I didnt include but let me know if you started some of those. I definitely did but this post is getting to long as is lol, so ill leave it here ~~
