If you are new to doramas, start with hana yori dango. That's the stuff everyone talks about and it is the most typical dorama (well, to me at least). If you like this one, you'll probably like three quarter of all doramas.
Kimi wa petto is more serious (at least as serious as a dorama can get) and also more suitable for adults.
1 litre of tears is sad... not a good dorama to start with.  cry

Very interesting recommendations! I especially like W-inds' list of watched movies and dramas (definitely will check some of those out).
 
I'm more of an 80s and early 90s drama fan so most of the stuff I'd recommend are from those decades:
 
101回目のプロポーズ/ 101 Kai Me No Propose
ビューティフルライフ/ Beautiful Life
ロングバケーション/ Long Vacation
神様、もう少しだけ/ Kamisama Mo Shukoshi Dake
リップスティック/Lipstick
東京ラブストーリー/ Tokyo Love Story
ひとつ屋根の下/ Hitotsu Yane No Shita
愛という名のもとに/ Ai To Iu Na No Moto Ni
 
I especially like the Daiei Melodramas:
ヤヌスの鏡/ Janus No Kagami
ポニーテールは振り向かない/ Ponytail O Furui Mukanai
スチュワーデス物語/ Stewardess Monogatari
アリエスの乙女たち/ Aries No Otome Tachi

wow some people seem to watch only doramas)) but actually I like to watch them myself, it also helps to pick up the language to be honest. I guess to should consider most of propositions ) from what I have seen they are all pretty good.  
Hana yori dango 1&2  
kimi wa petto  
zettai kareshi
Devil beside you
A.N.Jell! you're are beautiful
Vampire Host (it's quite funny to some point, based on Kaori Yuri novel)
Antique
Honey and Clover
Hard to Say I love you
Hanazakari no Kimitachi e
 
 
etc. I guess its a matter of taste and mood )
