One Pound Gospel is such a fun story. It makes you feel better whenever you watch it. The great thing about it is that it's not only funny, it also has it's hard moments, romantic moments, and what I find one of the most important things, it makes you really energetic and willing to sport! Kazuya/Kosaku is so enthousiastic that you cannot help but love him, and the rest of the cast is fantastic and you'll love them all right away.

Entertaining and Inspiring because of the story with a combination of comedy, romance and teaches you to be dedicated. I commend the acting of Kame and Kuroki here. I also like these kind of dramas because it's not only entertaining but you can also learn something as well. It's worth watching if you are into boxing, a fan of Kame or wants something entertaining and inspiring to watch.

While I am completely biased towards Kame, and love him to death! This was not one of my favorite dramas he starred in.

The drama for me started off in high spirits. I thought Kame was so adorable as Kosaku, and Kuroki Meisa looked beautiful as always even as a nun. I just felt like the story got old after awhile. It just seemed repetitive and I got bored a lot towards the end so it was almost a chore to finally finish the drama.

I'm not saying I hated it or anything because Kame being a hyperactive boxer was too cute for me not to watch! but you may get bored after the first five episodes.

What really makes this drama is two things: 1. watching Kamenashi without a shirt on. He has a beautiful body. So much energy!
2. watching Kuroki in a nun's habit. She can look beautiful in anything.

The story is kind obvious. Kuroki's character does mature. Kamenashi's doesn't. But we don't care.

Why are the ratings so low on this? It's a little quirky gem!

First off, deserves better ratings, that's the main point of this review. It's not the newest and the Emo haircuts of the time are killing me, and it's a bit slower than the new dramas. But it's still a solid, fun series to watch, with crazy and loveable characters.
That's was the heart and soul of this drama for me: the love and respect the writers had for all the people here, from the main couple to every side character, they all go through learning curves and come out better and stronger.
The craziness of this drama was a bonus for me. Come on, it's about a food addict boxer falling for and relentlessly pursuing a nun, of course it will be a bit nuts! Maybe that's why some viewers didn't really connect with this one, you have to let go and follow the craziness, because it's unlike any other drama you've seen... but in a good way!

One of the best dramas I have watched. Watch it for unusual love story between a gluttonous boxer(Kamenashi Kazuya) and a Nun(Kuroki meisa). Kamenashi as Hatanaka Kosaku has portrayed childlike innocence and enthusiasm. He is refreshing and looks good with muscles compared to his earlier leaner self. His character portrays effervescence. Kuroki Meisa as Sister Angela does a decent job. The support cast is also excellent. This is not the typical serious,melodramatic love story. This love story is funny and hilarious. Its a feel good drama with happy ending. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Watch it if you want wholesome entertainment.

Loved the energy of this story his pursuit for the nun ...even tho i dont think its right its not her calling she didnt choose to be a nun ...but this story is so fun the comedy is great in it the cast is great i sure learned from this story about boxing which i really dont like but i do love the rocky balboa movies because the story about the boxer and his family and friends is the best ...must watch this show i wish it was more episodes maybe a part two might come the main character is a good actor he sure has enegry i guess thats called being young...
