editSynopsis

The story revolves around a young woman named Mei, who was rescued as a young girl by someone calling himself her "butler." With only a vague memory, though, the experience seems like just a dream. But one day, after her parents' accidental death, he appears: Rihito comes from a line of outstanding butlers, and he has been appointed to serve her! Now her ordinary life has completely flipped, as she discovers that she's actually the heiress to a fortune, and is forced to transfer to St. Lucia Girls' Academy, where all the students have butlers! As a result, her childhood friend Kento decides to enroll in a butler school so that he can stay close to her. --Tokyograph

    Story- Very similliar to Hana Yori Dongo and Hana Kimi. Has comedy, frienship, a bit of mystery and a developing romance. Would\'\'ve gotten a 10 if there was more romance but hopefully there will be a season 2 or special...

    Acting/Cast- The leads had really great chemistry. The female villian was very unlikable and almost scary. The actress did a great job portraying her though. The supporting cast is wonderful!

    Music- great, goes well with the scenes.

    Overall- If you like HYD and Hana Kimi you will love this. One of the best J dramas Ive ever seen!

    Maybe, the plot isn't very attractive, but there are some characteristic characters. Every couple in Saint Lucia Academy is totally different. Mei gained the sympathy in short time, so I knew she can overcome all obstacles. I was thinking what kind of reletionship will be between her and her wonderful butler.. Anyway, Rihito is so perfect in drama, that even.. too perfect? The nature of younger Shibata was more intriguing... impulsive and... cute. It's a pity that he didn't win with brother...

  • Oomasa Aya the girl who played Sunako portrayed an entirely different role here. Here shes more of the lady that sunako tried hard to achieve. Plus you might enjoy a swarm of Ikemen butlers like the one AYA has, or Mukai, Hiro and Sato Takeru

  • The acting is very similar. Both casts are great and really pull off their characters well. Both dramas have a relatively small amount of episodes, so each episode is jam-packed with tons of plot twists and amazing scenes!

    this drama to me was great, but i think i would have liked it more i really disliked the female leads acting and not being mean but how she looked, she pretty but why the short haircut? and it was one of the few drams where the ending was ok, i mean yeah it kinda left you hanging but you still got a feeling of romance ^^

    LOVED this drama.

    Wouldn't have said no to more romance though. Would have been nice to know what happened after all that.

    Oh well, here's hoping for a SP or movie.

    Well, I for one loved /all/ the characters. I'm not too sure why some people seem to dislike Mei and her actress. Sure, she's a bit plain, but I actually find that to be quite refreshing. Japan seems to have that 1950's mindset when it comes to women, insisting that they all need to look and act stereotypically feminine, so it's nice to see somebody break out of that sexist mold for once.

    I love this drama or the butlers at least. Especially the dorky over excited one. I didn't really like Rihito until the last few episodes. He was a bit boring.
  • Supermeganerd Dec 12, 2012
    Superfunny and i love that some of the butlers had the same personalities as the gilrs! <3

    I didn't care for the main characters. I thought the side characters were better. I mean common, they had an occult guy! XD Can't get any better haha.

    Crazy show. It takes a bit getting used to, but I really enjoyed the cast and their version of the storyline in the manga felt pretty clean cut, even if it was different. I actually liked that they took some stuff out of the manga which I didn't like too much, and adjusted the Mei's age. I would totally recommend this to someone seeking light and cute.

    Just the first episode, made me want to become a "meninist." Which if you don't know, is feminism for men. How servent-like were the butlers? Which I know is the whole point...but all that bowing/prostrating/obedience/worshipping got to me. Not a good look, guys.
