Despite its silly actions, "not-so-horror scenes" and childish problems, this drama has outstanding humor and exquisite point of view. Kyohei and Sunako are so much alike. Although Kyohei hated himself because girls fell in love with him for his looks only and Sunako hated herself because her first love told her she is ugly, both characters wanted people to look at their hearts. This silly drama has demonstrated a HUGE worldwide problem. Even though our wronged opinions are based on people’s appearances, we are striving to find someone to accept who we are and our true nature. The second point of view that this drama shed a light on is, if you want to be loved, try to become the person you love and try to love yourself. I don’t mean you become cocky by the way, but try to see that you are special or else why would you be born?. By the way, this drama isn’t ment to be serious as it is adapted from a manga, thus don’t expect the actors or even the problems to be serious read more

Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge is a drama with not a lot of sticking power. That does not mean I didn’t like it. It has some really good episodes but overall it didn’t leave me with that joyful feeling of watching something great. It didn’t leave me feeling a little sad it was over.

The writing was uneven. There was a fun supernatural element along with the premise of 4 flower boys living in a mansion and charged with turning a goth girl into a lady. The friendships were portrayed nicely and the love story was cute. Some episodes were good. But some were just bad. The last one left me cold, with a twist I did not like.

The acting was uneven. Some gave pretty good performances. Kamenashi Kazua was a standout. But he’s been pretty good in the three dramas I have seen. Oomasa Aya was good as the girl who loves blood and skulls and death. The others were a little choppy but I got passed it because I liked the friendship between the four boys.

I think I have seen too many really stellar dramas to fall in love with this one. But having mentioned the negative things let me mention a few things that I liked: I loved the relationship development between Kyohei and Sunako. They truly had some very funny moments together and some very touching and cute ones as well. I liked how fast he came to accept her even if he took a long time to sort out his feelings. Sunako truly had some fun/funny personality quirks. The dynamic of friendships in the house between everyone was enjoyable and kept me watching until the end. I loved that house! I want it!

The music was forgettable except for one little detail: The bar/café they frequent has a very fun detail, almost easter egg to watch for. I’m not going to spoil it here but watch closely. Once you figure it out…It’s very fun to keep your eye out for.

The rewatch value is low for me. I probably won’t watch this again.
This is a cute drama…it has it’s value and it’s place. If you like supernatural elements in dramas and a cute love story, this is one drama you may like. read more

Okay this was probably the best drama i have seen so far! Definitely a must-watch for all drama viewers! The story was excellent; personally, I didn't find any faults in it. The cast was well chosen out as well, but there were some side characters that didn't make their roles very believable, but nothing major. The music was awesome especially the theme song. As for the re-watch value, I feel as though this could be the perfect show to watch in your spare time when you don't have anything you new to watch.

This show not only made me laugh out loud uncontrollably but also made me cry at the heartwarming parts. This show is mainly comedy but also has some romance in it. But if you're hoping for them to be in a relationship before the last few episodes, don't get your hopes up. It also has some episodes with some mystery but not a whole lot. Anyways I really recommend this drama. You won't be disappointed! read more

Basically, the story has been a little altered since they gave birth to a new character Nakahara Takeru. I have nothing against it since his existence gave more life to the story.

The actors and actresses played their roles satisfactorily (esp. Kamenashi Kazuya[kyohei] who stand out among them).

Without further ado, I think this is better than the anime.

I read the manga that the story line for this drama is based on about 6 years ago. I immediately connected with Sunako, since like her, I was picked on a lot in high school.

Going into the drama I was a little hesitant, since the manga had such strong characterization of Sunako's fear of the "bright" people. I thought that the acting was phenomenal and truly paid homage to the manga.

Also I was impressed with the time that the drama was able to give to all of the guys she lives with. I was worried that they were going to focus on Kyohei primarily, but they managed to really define and dimensionalize the other three guys.

Overall a really great drama, whether you were a fan of the manga, or just picked on in high school. The message of strength isn't constantly rubbed in your face, but it is omnipresent and leaves the viewer motivated to find their own, unique inner strength. read more

I watched this drama after having seen the anime. I really admired the anime for being humorous and a bit different to others in the vibe it gave off.

The drama cannot say the same. It's not that I expected a lot from the drama, and it also isn't that it was awful. It was pretty, systematic and easy to follow. The production was of a good quality and some of the scenes featured some seriously nice use of eye-candy.

My problem with this comes primarily from the fact that it was not at all memorable. It didn't make me think, but more than that, it didn't make me feel. I never felt the relationship between the leads (although occasionally the other boys had bonding type moments).

This was the first anime with Kazuya Kamenashi in it, and I have to say, every other drama of his I have ever seen has been better than this, at least for his part. I felt his portrayal of the lead character was more wooden than a tree, which led me to believe he could not act. I have since watched other things that lead me to believe this is not the case, which makes me wonder if a poor script/storyboard was to blame.

Anyway, as mentioned, I don't dislike this drama, it's just that I got nothing from it aside from an awesomely hilarious opening song and prettiness. And honestly, what's not to love about a bit of prettiness? read more

I watched this drama on a whim, mostly because I tried watching the anime version of the show and could never get past the second episode. The drama is significantly better.

In all honesty, I liked this show. I thought it was hilarious at points and heart breaking at others. The arguments and situations were sometimes so far fetched it was hard not to laugh. I liked the slapstick and more nuanced, subtle humor as well. The thing I liked about this drama was that it seemed like a parody of itself. The show was unabashedly cliche and was able to derive humor from all of those cliches.

Ultimately, I wish there were more episodes that showed more depth in the other characters. The problem with some Japanese dramas is that they seem like a summary look into a character. This drama is not much different.

The other thing was the lack of creativity in dramatic events. It's like two things happened in the first two episodes, and then the rest of the show was on repeat.

Overall though, a fun drama with some awesomely funny and ridiculous scenes. read more

I LOVED it. I rewatch it when ever I need a laugh and AHHH moment LOL. Watch it, you won't regret it. Takeru is absolutely adorable and the supporting cast really make this show outstanding. Although there are some sad parts they aren't overwhemling like in some of the Korean dramas. I also love that there is a conclusion...I hate getting to the end of a drama and they leave you hanging or guessing as to what happens next, not this drama there is a deffinite conclusion.

At first, I was reluctant in watching this series because basically I watch only shows whom I know some or even one of the characters, or was recommended for me to watch by someone i know. And this one, I just watched it because this is the Top 2 series in Dramacrazy.net. At the beginning I wasn't that much attached to it, sometimes it took me 2 or 3 days before I continue to watch it. I'm not sure from which part, maybe on the middle part of the series, I got so much into it that I can't help but to watch continuously. The acting is good, I could say they portrayed their characters well. They were consistent. With the story, I don't know the manga version of this but this one has a great plotting. I just don't like the music, especially when the feeling has to be, you know, in love of some sort, the music became upbeat so instead of enjoying that part, I was disturbed. But over all, I certainly like this series and definitely, I recommend this to my friends. =) read more
