An amusing very light and short drama which is great for those who don't like too sappy, boring and common themes for typical school dramas. Yamamoto Yusuke (Yamada) and Nishiuchi Mariya as Shiraishi are the best here and they should be since they are the main leads. I don't know anything about the manga but based on how the story is presented and how the actors acted it's quite manga-like and they did well with their comic expressions. Mariya-san can play roles both in comedic and serious roles if she wants to. Yusuke-san did a great effort with his role as well with those many swapping scenes he had. With the story,it's a school drama with a twist and that's what makes this drama unique and interesting for me. It's not a typical school drama that revolves around the students' school lives, not too preachy about school/life lessons and also not too focused on romantic stuff. It tackles more on the history of the supernatural powers and how the witches cope with it. The two main leads have chemistry as well as the acting of the supporting cast. I don't like the music that much because it's too cutesy for me but it suits the drama well so it's fine. I don't know if I will re-watch it again but I do recommend it for those who want a not-so-ordinary school theme drama and a drama that's not too long and just for pure fun and entertainment.
It focuses more on the relationship between the characters especially the main ones than the making of the chocolates itself. A realistic drama about unrequited love and the ending is realistic enough. There's not much of a character progress between the characters. It could've been improved. I particularly like the music of the drama. The actors' acting was fine and didn't just relied on visuals. It's not a drama that I could re-watch again. It's not on my priority list. What I like about the story is that it definitely shows the realistic struggles that love could bring to anyone and the imperfections of the characters making them human.
After trying to put it on hold for too long I finished it just today. I did expect much from it because of the cast but as soon as the story goes by I finally concluded that I'm annoyed with Park Shin Hye's character here. She's too weak. I didn't like Lee Min Ho's character as well and the only thing I liked here is Choi Young Do (both the character on how he portrayed it and the actor himself). The storyline is too weak,there's not much of a substance and not original. Too much hype with pretty faces/cast and that's all.I'm surprised I was able to keep up with it. I don't totally hate the drama it's just that it didn't meet my expectations with their stellar cast. I'm not sure whether I will re-watch it again but I really don't think so because I certainly didn't enjoy it that much so the possibility is really very low. I only recommend this if you are a fan of any of the cast or you like these kind/genre of dramas. That's all.
What made me decide to watch this is its title itself and when I saw that it's a light drama then I decided to watch it. I can't stand too serious heavy dramas especially long ones since it will make me feel bored. After watching this drama, I can really say that it's totally worth it! It's an entertaining drama with a lesson. It teaches you about the 'priceless' things in life but at the same time it's not too preachy to the point that it's irritating and that's what I love about this drama. It touches hearts but at the same time entertaining enough for you to stay and finish it.Of course, Kimura Takuya's acting here is superb and I do love Karina here as well. The rest of the actors did great even the villains. The story and character development is just fine for me and I will definitely watch this drama again whether alone or with groups of people. A realistic drama that's worth your time!:)
I am an Arashi fangirl but even though I am one I must say that this drama special is worth watching for because of the story development. I was able to enjoy it and it kept me interested and focused to know what's going to happen next. More than the artists and the acting of the actors what really made me finish this movie is its plot. It's indeed a suspense and a mystery. You'll want to know the turn of events or how the story will end. You will feel involved or a part of the drama because this will keep you guessing how the story will go. If you like that kind of genre then I do suggest you try this one. There's no specific emphasis on the background of the characters or the character development but it does not really affect the story because what will keep you interested is the story more than the characters. I do commend the acting of the main actors even the supporting actors. This drama special is worth watching as a break from heavy dramas.
A heartwarming realistic story that will definitely touch your hearts. It's about the story of a preschool teacher with his preschool students. The twist is the main character or the teacher is a male unlike the usual stereotype female preschool teachers who handle the students. If you love watching dramas with a children's theme then you will love this drama. It will touch your heart per episode which is all about the interactions between teachers and their students. There would be emotional moments but it just fits the drama as a whole. I also like that it's light and enjoyable to watch because there is a comedic element. I could definitely re-watch this drama and I also love the music but of course because of Arashi.
I love the chemistry between Sho and Maki here and this is the drama I officially became a ShoMaki haha! I thought the concept about the drama will bore me which is about legal stuff but I was wrong. I was able to enjoy the drama because of Sho and Maki. I particularly love the theme song of the drama 'Troublemaker' which gives an enjoyable feel. I also love the fact that Sho's role here shows his not so serious side while Maki is the strong independent woman which is somehow a turn around from the characters they usually play in their other dramas. I would definitely re-watch this drama. I'm obviously a bias about the two main leads but I'm sure you'll enjoy this if you are into the drama's concept and at the same time you want to enjoy and not so into so serious stuff then I do recommend this drama especially if you are an Arashi or a Sho fan.
Don't know anything about the anime/manga but I was able to enjoy this drama. I specifically like the concept of the drama about physical appearances and how the main leads portrayed their roles and the way they compliment each other. Kamenashi Kazuya is the stand out here but I also commend the girl who acted Sunako. The music is just perfect especially the theme song 'Love Yourself' by KAT-TUN. It may not give a lasting impression but it sure is one of the enjoyable dramas for me that I was able to finish fast and didn't get bored. I was able to discover KAT-TUN through this drama. It is an inspiring romantic comedy that gives you time to reflect to 'what's really inside you'. I love how the two main leads compliments each other. They're 'perfect'
Cute fashionable funny detective drama thanks to Tabe Mikako. She suits comedy best and she showcased her comedic skills yet again in this drama 'cause I have seen her other dramas which she showcased her comedic skills like Yamada Taro. I love the concept of the drama which includes fashion in which she has lolita style making the drama much more colorful while it's all about solving cases/crimes. It's not your typical detective drama because it's fun. Tabe Mikako's character has the ability to solve cases because of her keen smell just like a dog which is a good twist or addition to the story because it made her stand out from the other detectives. I enjoyed the drama and I might re-watch it again. The acting of other artists are fine even Tegoshi. Music also suits the drama which makes the drama livelier.
I wasn't able to watch the first Quiz Show 1 and I was thinking if I'll be able to understand this drama but I decided to watch it because of Sakurai Sho. I admit I'm an Arashi fan so I decided to watch this drama because knowing Sho Sakurai I want to know how he will be able to incorporate his good hosting skills in real life to this drama. I'm glad I gave this drama as a try because I haven't seen any drama with this kind of plot yet and this is the first. I find Sho Sakurai's acting here as brilliant. As expected, he was a great host and he was able to use well his hosting skills here. I commend Yokoyamu Yu and the rest of the cast. I felt the emotion, great expressions of the artists so they did really well for me. I also love the twists of the drama revealing secrets of each contestant. I also like the theme song and the music fits well the atmosphere of the drama. I might not re-watch this alone though 'cause I already know what happened and there's no surprise factor for me but I definitely recommend this drama for those who like psychological/suspense dramas. I love Sho's smirks. :)
This drama is pure fun and inspiration which tackles the value of family, money and friendship. It's pure comedy that touches the heart at the same time. The bond of family and friendship is highlighted in the drama. Tabe Mikako who acts as the main girl lead is really good with comedy and of course Ninomiya Kazunari's acting is superb and Sho Sakurai's acting is good enough here. The music fits the drama and it will bring you 'Happiness'. It's a light comedy heartwarming drama that I will definitely recommend if you want to laugh, shed a tear and be inspired. It's more like a family/friendship drama that I could re-watch again. I also recommend it for Arashi fans like me because two of its members are here so it's a must watch! :)
A perfect example of 'The end does not justify the means' but I do commend the acting of Ninomiya Kazunari's character here because it made me sympathize with his character. He really do act with his eyes. I find the story realistic enough that people could relate to because it could happen in real life. It gives you a slice of life and something to reflect to. Music is good enough and I might re-watch it again though not a priority. If you want a drama that's different enough but at the same time will make you look into life into another perspective then I do recommend this one.
Classic romance drama formula that worked for me. I love the characters and the actors who played it because they have chemistry and the actors are versatile. I love the fact that the drama is just light, entertaining and well-balanced because there's melodrama and comedy. I really enjoyed it's soundtrack and cinematography. For me, it's one of the best soundtrack out there. The drama in general is fresh and charming that I can re-watch again and again and certainly could stand the test of time. I love the Paris shots. I recommend this to romantic people who likes watching light enjoyable dramas. This classic drama is certainly a MUST-WATCH! :)
I'm not a fan of the anime and wasn't able to watch it but I have to agree that this movie is simply one of the best Japanese action movie out there. I love the action scenes and it really kept me entertained that I wasn't able to notice the time and it kept me wanting for more. Sato Takeru is perfect as Kenshin. Though it's fast-paced it didn't bother me though I know you will appreciate the movie more if you are a fan of the anime or if you are familiar with the story. But even if I'm not an fan/avid follower I could say that I enjoyed the movie. If you are an action fan I do recommend this movie. I could definitely re-watch it again. I'm looking forward for the next installments.
I haven't watched the anime but surely I enjoyed the movie because of the cinematography. I love the concept of the movie which is all about fashion,style and also it focused on pursuing dreams. Keiko and Osamu looked good together simply because they are eye candies though their relationship could've been developed more in the story. I particularly love the music or the OST by YUI. It really went well with the story. I will definitely re-watch it again and I do recommend this to fashion fans for ideas. It may not be the best but it's great enough eye candy with romance to entertain you.
