The LACK of HS doramas this season is shocking! Usually summer season is the HEIGHT for HS dramas...

2015 has officially ended so I can officially make this list!! You can see the list of things I watched this year here. Also in July I posted a 'Top Ten so far' list here. Ready for my top ten?!

TOP TEN:

1. Tokyo Bandwagon (10/10) Review
2. Heroine Shikkaku (10/10) Review
3. MOZU Season 1 (9/10) Review
4. Kingyo Club (9/10) Review (Skip to 'Overall Thoughts' for non-spoiler review)
5. Mother Game (9/10) Review
6. Suikyuu Yankees (9/10 Review
7. Ore Ore (9/10) Review
8. Wasurenai to Chikatta Boku ga Ita (9/10) Review
9. Death Note (9/10) Review (Skip to 'Overall Thoughts' for non-spoiler review)
10. Yowakutemo Katemasu (8/10) Review (I cannot find my review post for this! o_O)

*Of course rewatchs aren't allowed on this list!

There are many others that I loved throughout the year (Bakuman, Tatakau! Shoten Girl, Siren etc) but these are definitely my top ten! I hope it's easy to see why, but by all means do let me know if you ended up hating one of these and why! xD

Honourable Mention:
- The Lovers (9/10) - this is a Korean dorama so obviously would never be on my top ten list. But this drama was so realistic and I felt it really showed what real relationships are like. It was heartbreaking, it was funny. I adored every episode <3

Most Disappointing of the Year:
- Galaxy Kaidoh
- Second Love
- Age Harassment

Do I need to explain these?

Actor of the Year?
I got (re)obsessed with SO many actors this year and just had weeks of marathoning their stuff. But the one that's stuck with me all year is obvious:




Yamazaki Kento.

There we have it!! What do you think?

Let me know below who and what your favourites were for this year!!

Firstly, Matsuzaka Tori is back in full force this last half of the year and I love it!!

Overall Thoughts: Great soundtrack, great theme song, great story, great plot, great acting, the characters were very questionable but in a good way because they were all so deep and interesting and left me wondering about their motives and everything! Also, some amazingly sexy moments, amazing chemistry between Tori and Kimura and sexy Tori is always welcome <3
The ending felt rushed and it definitely needed a tenth episod, because some of the logic and 'time' in the last mystery/reveal is a little questionable, but omg it didn't half keep me guessing ALL the way up to the very last moment! This was a dorama that surprised me if I'm perfectly honest. I love Tori and I've recently had an interest in Kimura because of Mother Game recently but for some reason I didn't expect much of it. I didn't expect ANYTHING from this dorama at all, but it ended up being one of the ONLY three dramas I decided to continue watching when my doramas were overwhelming me, which proves how great this story was and how much it kept me interested.

Overall Rating: 8/10

Did you watch this? Do you agree a 10th episode was needed? Were you just as clueless about the mystery or did you figure it out WAY before me cos I'm a dumbass and you have a brain?
