Ume on August 01, 2010: Great list! I love all those but my favorite drama is Sora Kara Furu Ichioku no Hoshi.
Then I looked at the comment by Gustavo saying it’s very very easy- and guess what, it is! Obviously you need to install Japanese on your system first. I spent about 2 hours messing around with my system, installing Japanese characters and setting my entire system to Japanese. I’ve had the same problem with Japanese subs.
