Ringu: Saishûshô (1999)
Great!

Asakawa is amazing. This show is so incredibly melodramatic, almost telenovela levels, and Asakawa's expressions are all so memable. Plus, Ryuji is ripped straight from my mind's eye from the novels. Not a ton of horror, but the extreme cheese more than makes up for it. It stays close to the books for a good amount of the story. The soundtrack is also fairly phenomenal, switching from serious dark tones to beautiful jazzy moments. The main actress is adorable and strong, a perfect fit against Asakawa's fairly overdramatic self. There's some great twists, and the few times liberties are taken, they pay off nicely. I absolutely love this show.
