What types of TV shows do you like?

I mostly watch the comedy on TV. Many comedians appear in the comedy show in Japan. I believe that laughing is the very important thing in order to live happily every day. On the other hand, I mostly don’t watch the dramas on TV.

sounds better. Unless there is a single comedy show in Japan they appear on, then what you wrote is correct.

'on the other hand' is not WRONG here since you're contrasting it against comedy shows you do watch, but it feels out of place.

"Comedy" is a non-count noun.

Many comedians appear in the comedy shows in Japan.

"The comedy show" would refer to a specific comedy show. "Comedy shows" refers to them in general.

I believe that laughing is thea very important thing in order to live happily every day.

"A" is used because laughing is one of many important things in order to be happy.

You could also say "the most important thing" if you mean that laughing is more important than all the others.

Feedback

This post is very well-constructed. You clearly understand English sentence structure well. I would suggest some more practice with articles ("the" and "a/an"). Here are some good resources I found:

When talking about a genre the article is unnecessary

Many comedians appear ion the comedy show in Japan.

This means there is only one comedy show. If you mean more than one, say “in comedy shows”

I believe that laughing is thea very important thing in order to live happily every day.

Either say “a very important thing” if there are others, or “the most important thing” if it’s the only one.

On the other hand, I mostly don’t watch the dramas on TV.

- Comedy in this sense is treated as a name in English so we don't put 'the' in front. It's the same reason we say 'I mostly watch soccer' and not "I most watch the soccer". With that being said, just like we would say "The soccer I watch is incredible", we would also write 'The comedy I watch is funny". So sometimes you add a the and sometimes you don't but when you do and don't follows the same rules as other words such as 'soccer'. I haven't actually looked up the explicit rule though

- I presume you mean laughing is one of many important things to live happily so you need to use the preposition 'a'
