Faruk is strong enough to oppose his mother’s wishes when it is needed. Fikret, on the other hand, wants to please her mother all the time in order to win her approval. He is jealous of his brother Faruk who is the head of the family business for being the eldest and the most favorite son of the family. Osman, on the other hand, is very silent, introvert and fragile. He is keen on books and does not want to be involved in family business. Lastly, Murat is the youngest son of the family who is extrovert, womanizer and carefree.
Esma lives happily together with her 4 sons. Now, she wishes to see the marriage of her eldest son Faruk and become a grandmother. The wife of Faruk would be the lady of the house after Esma and maintain the long-lasting family culture. For this reason, Esma wants to have a perfect bride for this role. She has someone in her mind as her prospective bride: Ipek (Dilara Aksuyek) who is the daughter of another well-known family in Bursa.

Ipek is a beautiful girl who has been in love with Faruk for a long time but does not reveal her feelings. She is a perfect bride in a lot of ways: she has good manners, seems to be silent, mature and respectful, and is willing to obey the rules of the house set by Esma. Ipek knows Esma’s intention towards her and does not refrain from showing her pleasure for being the bride of Faruk.

However, the life of Boran family changes dramatically and the Boran mansion that has been standing for almost 4 hundred years is shaken with the appearance of Suheyla (Asli Enver).

When Faruk comes to Istanbul for a business, out of pure coincidence, Faruk and Suheyla meet. The two get attracted by each other at first sight but Suheyla does not want to be “the toy” of this rich womanizer. She tries to be far away from Faruk but she cannot resist the destiny that brings them together.

Faruk and Suheyla fall in love with each other and understand that they cannot live apart. Without her mother’s approval, Faruk brings Suheyla to Bursa as his bride. The house is shaken by this surprise. The arrival of Suheyla, the bride from Istanbul, changes everything.

The love between Suheyla and Faruk has to face with mother Esma’s anger, the rules of the house, and at the same time, different family backgrounds. Suheyla who is grown up in a big city likes her freedom and finds it hard to adjust living in a smaller city. Faruk who is devoted to his family and traditions finds himself in middle of his wife and his mother.

In bride of istanbul tv series story, you will explore a true love story between Faruk and Suheyla that has to pass examinations from strong mother-in-law, sneaky sister-in-law, and differences due to big city-small city conflict. Will Esma eventually admit Suheyla as her bride? Will Suheyla manage to adopt her new life in a smaller city? How will bride from Istanbul change the lives of Boran family?

Here are five more places where you can (legally!) watch full episodes of Japanese dramas with English subtitles.

Netflix

Who doesn’t love Netflix? For $10 a month (with a few weeks free at the beginning of your membership) you can stream thousands of titles quickly and easily.

Netflix has a growing number of Japanese dramas available, some of which they produced themselves as Netflix Originals.

As a bonus, all of Netflix’s Japanese dramas have accurate English subtitles.

1.リマインド (りまいんど) — “Re:Mind”

“Re:Mind” is a bit of a slow burner, but it definitely pays off. If you’re a fan of classic mysteries, you’ll definitely get sucked into this show.

English Subtitles Familie Immerscharf Free

In this drama, a group of Japanese high school students find themselves chained to a European-style dining room table. Every time the lights go out, one of them disappears. Can they figure out who’s doing this to them… and why?

“Re:Mind” is ideal for intermediate and advanced learners, as the Japanese spoken is very quick and complex.

2. 宇宙 (そら) — “Switched”

If you’ve ever been bullied, had body issues, were poor or dealt with depression or other mental health issues, you’ll probably find some hope in this thriller drama with heartwarming moments.

Using the astrological powers of the Red Moon, an unpopular depressed girl switches bodies with one of her school’s most popular, beautiful students. The two soon find out how true their friends really are, and what it means when your beauty is only skin-deep.

Like “Re:Mind,” this show would be great for intermediate and advanced learners as the dialogue can be quick with multiple people speaking at once.

3. アンダーウェア (あんだーうぇあ) — “Atelier”

This Netflix Original is a true gem. If you’re interested in the fashion industry, particularly small-scale fashion boutiques in Japan, you’ll enjoy watching “Atelier.”

In the show, a young woman graduates college and gets an entry-level job as an apprentice at a lingerie boutique. Through this job, she learns a lot about herself, family, love and her misunderstood boss.

Beginnerswill definitely enjoy this show since the dialogue is sparse and easy to keep up with.

Viki

This Korean streaming service is known for its ample selection of Korean dramas, but it also has quite a few Japanese titles.

All the videos here have English and usually Japanese subtitles.

Viki is free to use, though there’s a premium subscription if you want to get ad-free and higher quality streaming.

4. おひさま — “Sunshine”

The tagline of this show says it all: “Life is what you make of it.”

In this romantic drama, a young woman copes with caring for her family when her brothers and husband are drafted to fight in World War II. It’s a heartwarming and interesting look at Japanese life during this time.

The dialogue is very simple and spoken at an easy pace, but the storytelling nature of this show means that it contains some vocabulary words and grammar newbies may have a hard time following.

5. オトナ女子 (おとな じょし) — “Lady Girls”

If you love cutesy comedies, this drama may be worth checking out.

In “Lady Girls” a 40-something career woman struggles to get her love life figured out with the help of her two friends: a single mother and a woman who always seems to get stuck with playboys.

The simultaneous Japanese and English subtitles make this a great selection for beginner learners.

6. きみはペット (きみ は ぺっと) — “You’re My Pet”

We’ll admit, the premise of this show is a bit weird—but it’s an entertaining and unique romance drama nonetheless.

In “You’re My Pet,” a successful journalist deals with getting dumped by her fiancé and demoted by her misogynist boss. While walking home one day, she finds a young homeless man in a box and has a strong urge to keep him as a pet. So she does.

You have to admit you’re really curious about what will become of them, right?

Along with having Japanese and English subtitles, the dialogue in this show is slower than most and easy to follow. Beginners, check it out!

7. ヴァンパイア・ヘヴン (ばんぱいあ・へぶん) — “Vampire Heaven”

Who doesn’t love a good vampire drama?

This series follows two vampires who escape an evil baron in the world of vampires and begin working in a cafe to survive. One of them, however, falls in love with a human customer.

The silly antics of the vampires are fun to watch and the drama is deliciously over the top, but the dialogues can be hard to understand when the vampires have their fake fangs in. Check this one out if you’re an intermediate learner or want to learn informal as well as service-specific speech.

Crunchyroll

Most anime fans have probably heard of Crunchyroll, the streaming mecca of Japanese animated movies and shows. What you might not know is that Crunchyroll also has some great Japanese drama titles, all with Japanese and English subtitles.

A subscription is as low as $7 per month after a free month’s trial.

8. イタズラなKiss～Love in Tokyo (いたずらな きす～らぶ・いん・とうきょう) — “Mischievous Kiss: Love in Tokyo”

High school dramas are addictive, aren’t they?

In this series, a student struggles with being an “airhead” and not very good at her studies. Unfortunately for her, she’s in love with her school’s most successful and intelligent student. Do opposites really attract?

The simple scripted dialogue and clear English subtitles make this show great forany level of learner to enjoy.

9. エンジェル・ハート (えんじぇる・はーと) — “Angel Heart”

Bring on the crime dramas!

“Angel Heart” is about a brilliant cop named Ryo and his partner Kaori. When Kaori is killed in a freak accident, her heart is donated to another woman. Now this woman mysteriously comes into Ryo’s life. Does Kaori live on in her?

There’s quite a lot of fast-paced dialogue in this show and due to the thriller-mystery vibe of it, you’ll definitely need to understand every word to keep up. Advanced learners should watch this one.

10. 素直になれなくて (すなお に なれなくて) — “Hard to Say I Love You”

If you’ve ever been in a long-distance relationship or made a meaningful friendship with someone online, this drama about finding yourself will definitely warm your heart.

The story follows a group of men and women who all meet on Twitter as they try to figure out where they belong in life and with each other.

This is definitely one of the most dialogue-heavy shows on our list, but don’t let that deter you if you’re a beginner! Take this opportunity to listen to the speed at which the Japanese is spoken and pronounced. Even if you need English subtitles to understand what’s happening, this is a good show to learn how fast typical Japanese is.

Amazon Prime

Amazon Prime works pretty similarly to Netflix. When you purchase a Prime membership, most of the titles you’ll want to stream are free. There are some exceptions, though, especially for newly released popular movies that may cost an additional fee to stream.

There are a few Japanese shows and films on Amazon Prime that have English subtitles. Here are two of our top picks:

English Subtitles Familie Immerscharf Online

11. 東京少女 (とうきょう しょうじょ) — “Tokyo Girl”

Aya moves to Tokyo from a small town. For the next 17 years, we watch her grow, fall down, get back up and live an incredible life in this awesome comedy drama.

This show mostly casts women, meaning that a lot of “ladylike slang” or 女らしい (おんな らしい ) — onnarashii slang is used. If you’re not familiar with this sort of dialect of speaking, you may struggle to follow the plot. Still, the English subtitles are pretty useful in this regard.

12. 無痛~診える眼~ (むつう~ みえる め~ ) — “Painless: The Eyes for Signs”

A brilliant doctor who can diagnose anybody by just looking at them? How wonderful! A brilliant doctor who can diagnose people by looking at them but can also detect whether they’ll commit terrible crimes in the future? That’s a bit more complicated.

This medical drama explores a moral dilemma: Is there ever someone who’s not worth saving?

While the vocabulary used in this show is basic, there’s quite a bit of talking. If you’re a beginner or intermediate learner who wants to improve your listening comprehension, check out this show.

Asian Crush

In addition to subtitled Japanese dramas, this free streaming source boasts a ton of anime, Korean dramas, Chinese dramas, films, vintage martial arts movies and much more—all for free (with ads).

13. スクールガール コンプレックス 放送部篇 (すくーる がーる こんぷれっくす ほうそう ぶ へん ) — “Schoolgirl Complex”

This late-nightLGBTQ romance set in an all-female high school is steamy, dark, romantic and dramatic. It’s hard to find independent Japanese movies with this kind of vibe to it, so if that’s your thing, check this one out!

This artsy film is very minimal in dialogue, so beginners will be able to follow along pretty easily.

14. サイドカーに犬 (さいどかー に いぬ ) — “Dog in a Sidecar”

This Japanese movie is a quirky family drama-comedy about a young girl who becomes friends with her father’s lover. It’s complicated but definitely hilarious!

The film’s dialogue is pretty sparse but due to the comedic nature of it, it would help if you have a bit of knowledge of Japanese humor in order to grasp a lot of what’s being said.

English Subtitles Familie Immerscharf 2016

15. ペコロスの母に会いに行く (ぺころす の はは に あい に いく ) — “Pecoross’ Mother and Her Last Days”

This drama film with some comedic overtones is based on an autobiographical manga. It follows the struggles of a man who has to take care of his elderly mother with dementia.

This is a great film to watch if you want to pick out the nuances and differences in how Japanese elderly, middle-aged and teenagers speak. A great selection for improving your listening fluency!

You could make a fun binge-watching weekend of all of these great series and films, while improving your Japanese at the same time. Good luck!
