Oricon conducted a survey on 1,364 people from their teens to 50s where they chose which Spring 2017 they are looking forward to watch. Dramas which were not announced before the start of the survey i.e. 7 March were not included and only dramas from the private networks and NHK were considered in this list.
There are two rankings here i.e. the primetime (7pm to 10pm) and midnight categories (shown after 11pm). Numbers in brackets indicate the overall weighted score in terms of anticipated ratings, leading actor/actress, supporting cast and content which account for 20 marks each. As such, the maximum score a drama can get is 80. The asterisk indicates dramas which are based on novels/manga so those without have original scripts.
