I decided to write a review for this drama because i noticed a lot of people weren't watching it but i honestly think its one of the best Jdramas of the summer.

There's a lot of things about this drama that aren't very unique. For example, why is it always 3D? It's like class 3D is cursed in ALL dramas! And also, the story behind each of the kids in this class. If you've watched other High School Jdramas with exceptional teachers, you've probably come across a lot of the stories. But what makes this drama different is how the teachers go about dealing with the problems.
That's the unique thing; the teachers, they're very different from your Yankumi's and Onizuka sensei's. They're much darker and much more mysterious. And all come with their own stories.

Also, i thought the acting was incredible. I've watched quite a few Eikura Nana dramas now but this is the first time i've seen her play a serious role. I think she did a good job with her character.
The rest of the cast were incredible too. Again, a lot of people have probably only seen Chiba Yudai as Honey Senpai in OHSHC. This is a very different character and yet Chiba did an amazing job. I wont bother saying anything about Matsumura Hokuto because i'm probably a bit biased as a big fan of his :)

Music. I gave a 8. I cant really remember any of the OSTs but the ending theme is by UVERworld. Incredible song by an incredible group.

Overall, i loved this drama and will probably re-watch it at some point. read more

Hana Kimi Remake

So ofcourse the story would have to be given 10. I dont think i need to explain that to you guys.

Acting/Cast: I gave 8 because there were certain characters i loved and others, not so much.
At first, i didn't like Acchan as Mizuki. Maybe its because i'm such a huge Maki fan. I'm not sure. But slowly she grew on me. I think her acting got better.
Most of the cast was pretty cool. Tomo, who plays Kayashima (Aura guy) was able to portray the same character in a completely different light and gave a completely different feeling to Kayashima. I absolutely loved it!
Miura Shohei's Nakatsu was very Similar to Toma's Nakatsu. However, i still think he was able to bring a bit of himself to the character. Plus, Nakatsu was slightly different this time. He was able to accept things about himself :P

Music: 8. Only because Ikenai Taiyou is an absolutely epic song and that Peach song.. lol.. i remember it being stuck in my head for ages. Flying Get is a really good song, but compared to the original.. hmm...

This drama aired 3 seasons ago. And i've only just watched it. When i saw the bad ratings it was getting, i chose not to watch it. I thought it would be terrible. And i'm not going to lie, i didn't really enjoy the first episode. However, i continued to watch it because of Kiriyama Ren and it actually got better.
I feel that this isn't just a re-make. Its more... Its the same story as the original, but they've presented it in a different way. There are many original bits to this drama too. Even the characters personalities aren't the same. Sano is very different in this. He's more open and kinder towards Mizuki.
Also, i think i may have enjoyed the last episode of this one, more than the original. And that's saying something.

So i hope you'll give this drama a chance and watch the first 3 episodes atleast. Honestly, its amazing. You'll be laughing, maybe squeeling and God knows what else... I'm glad i chose to watch it ^^ read more

Nazotoki wa Dinner no Ato de

My favorite genre for dramas is detective/mystery. And although this was a detective drama, it just wasnt the same. There was so much missing from actual investigations. And they figured out who the criminal was from very vague evidence. So as a detective drama, i wouldn't recommend it.

However, i did enjoy it for other reasons. The casting i thought was great. Sakurai Sho as a Butler and Kitagawa Keiko as an Heiress just goes so well. And the relationship the two have is really nice.

I also enjoyed the comedy elements to the drama. I guess that was watch kept me watching.

Overall, i did enjoy this drama and may consider rewatching it again in a few months :D
