Action-packed J-drama

[wingdarkness]

You read the title...I want guns, martial arts, crime situations, Yakuza thugs, the works...If not something like "Liar Game" would also fall into my liking as psychological action is also welcome...SP (Security Police) is another that I think of with good action...

[Fujikira]

The manga series Doubt comes to mind in comparison to Liar Game

Kurosagi is similar to Liar Game.

Btw, action-packed J-Drama sounds like a like a contradiction

That's why I'm asking for suggestions because I KNOW it's rare, but it exists as i have watched more than a handful of J-dramas with action...Liar game and SP being the 2 most recent...

LMAO, 140 views and no ones knows any JAPANESE tv SHOWS WITH ACTION??

Off the top of my head, here are some action packed police dramas (I know I have seen some gangland dramas before, but I am forgetting them currently...):

SP (edit: you actually already had this one...)
Tokumei Kakarichou Tadano Hitoshi
Bloody Monday
Unfair

for yakuza, all I can think of is:
Sailor Fuku to Kikanju
Shinjuku Swan

you also might like Kurosagi.

[holyalexander]
