This is a wonderful live action version, I have to be honest, I haven't seen the detective Conan anime or read the manga, but after watching this I feel like I'm missing out! it kinda reminds me of inspector gadget because it's a bit of fun, I'm just sad it's so short! The cast I think were brilliant and the story was pretty good as far as mystery detective stories go, which I really enjoyed.

I really enjoyed this drama and would have liked to have seen more. I thought it was well written, the right mix of secondary characters and a good set. I still wonder if Rain was the best man for the part though, but it can't be changed. I have big expectations for 'Full House 2' but where is it? I havn't heard anything about it recently, but the cast sounds great!

This drama starts off promising with tones of potential, then after the first couple of episodes, it becomes rather dull and average then at the end it picks up again. I was very disappointed, especially with the great cast that stared in it. The concept was interesting but the story I don't think griped the audience as it could have done.

It's truly awesome to see a teacher kick some ass, and this has lots of it! I think everyone at some point has to watch Goukusen! I think because I enjoyed this drama that when I came to watch the second series I didn't want to watch it because Yankumi has a different class and I was rather attached to all her students by the end. If you want to watch something thats a laugh, but isn't focused on romance this is one to watch, there is nice presentation of character development and some great bits of acting.

This was the first drama I ever watched and I still love it! the set is pretty, the costumes are pretty, the cast is fabulous, the music is brilliant and the story is wonderful! what more could you want? this story has become so successful since it's mang-hwa days that it's now become a musical for the stage!

Any downsides? I've tried to watch this again and I end up skipping a couple of episodes in the middle because seeing certain parts frustrated me, appart from that it's brilliant!

Created shortly after it's elder sister, Goong S or Goong Prince Hours shouldn't be compared to Goong Princess Hours I tried during the first few episodes to try and connect the two, but actually the stories have nothing to do with each other! because of this I ruined it for myself! There was an opportunity missed here for the writers/ writer to create something great and what they ended up doing was creating something okay. I liked the idea of the main character being a guy this time round but I ended up being dissapointed.

Watching this after the Taiwanese version was interesting I have made up my mind after a while contemplating that I prefer the Taiwanese version, only by a margin, all the versions are so different it is hard to compare. On it's own this is a good quality drama, it's worth a watch, cast are great, story is great.

This is the first verion of Hana Kimi I watched, I have watched all of them and I'm currently watching the Korean version thats airing at the moment. First off I want to say that all the versions are totaly different from each other and are great in their own right. having said this I think this version is one of the better ones, it's colourful, funny the cast are brilliant and I love the opening tune, which still makes me smile when I hear it!

Ah... Hana Yori Dango lol this is a dam good story that you have to know! I love the cast in this particular version and love the way they finished it off with the movie. I have to admit though, by the end of the drama I pretty much had enough of Makino's character. watching this is certainly an emotional rollercoaster trying to watch this in one go might just drive you slightly insane so pace it out a bit if you can (I couldn't!)

One thing I love about Kimura Takuya  is that he most of the time plays rather quirky and interesting characters, this drama is no exception. This drama may have a boring subject but you can't help to watch Kohei Kuryu and his obsession for buying things off shopping channels! watching this drama is a nice break from the norm and it's interesting to see what a prosecutor does as most crime shows focus on detectives.

Haha! this is a seriously cringing drama! I spent most of my time shouting and screaming at the screen seeing Xiang Qin doing stuff a normal human being with any self respect wouldn't do! still it's rather entertaining and a bit of fun!
I have made several attempts to watch the original Japanese version, but it just wasn't as fun I didn't think, I would be rather interested to see a remake of the Japanese version to see what they would do with it.

Daw this drama! I loved the concept of the story, it's rather heart-warming with out being too over the top, the fact that it explores the idea of people needing the company of each other for different reasons was better then just straightforward romance. The music, the opening song I really liked and thus I was first introduced to Arashi, when I listen to it as a separate song it does seem cheesy but in a funny way it seems to work ok with the drama. re-watch? oohh yes! I tend not to normally but I think I've re-watched this three times. Reasons being that it's only 10 episodes, it's so easy and a pleasure to watch. It does have an outdated feeling, maybe because of the way it was filmed and the wardrobe choices, but it doesn't matter as this is pure gold!

One of my favorites, this drama has a wonderful gift of creating suspense the soundtrack is to die for, only thing is, that if you have a fear of clown masks, u might have a harsh time, the characters in clown masks are rather freaky. Because of how great the drama is there was much hype and anticipation for the final, which was made into a film, I have to say personally I didn't like the ending, but depending on what you want from this drama it may or may not bother you!

Ah the acting duo are back for another round, this time Joe Cheng plays a rather ridiculous character as opposed to his cool, swerve character in 'It Started With a Kiss.' Some parts in this drama are irritating, but you put up with it because of the little gems that appear every now and again! If you want to watch something a little different try the first two/three episodes and see what you think.

This is a wonderful and quirky story that makes you laugh. I absolutely adore this drama and it's light hearted tone, which is perfect for watching when you've had enough of the emotional roller coaster type dramas. When it's miserable cold weather outside, snuggle up in bed with a luxurious mug of hot choc and a hot water bottle on your cold toes, let yourself become engrossed in a short but sweet tale that will spark your imagination
