I find the plot interesting maybe because I'm interested on the lives of idols. I thought the drama was quite entertaining so I decided to watch it and my expectation didn't fail 'cause I was able to enjoy the drama as a whole. The drama gives you a glimpse of what happens in an idols' life. I find it entertaining though there's not much chemistry between the main characters. I suggest you watch it if you are a fan of Ryo Nishikido or Kanjani8. I might re-watch it again if I feel like it. It gives you more information/idea about an idol's career...and that's to create dreams. It's not easy to be an idol. If you want to watch something that can keep in touch with reality which is all about an idol's life and at the same time entertain I suggest this drama.

I like this simple drama though I know it could've done better especially with its ending. I love how they presented Japanese culture through food. I also love the actors and their acting especially the female lead. The drama is a light-hearted one if you want to take a break from serious dramas and if you want to feel much closer to Japanese culture, I would recommend this. I also love the music especially the opening theme. I would watch it if I'm in for a Japanese touch. Overall, it's a simple Japanese drama that would touch your inner Nihonjin especially your stomach whose in for Japanese cuisine and for a funny entertaining treat.

I like these kind of dramas/movies and though I haven't watched any of its anime version or read its manga and I think it's a good thing cause I was able to enjoy the movie. I love the characters and how it was portrayed by the actors. I find the storyline unique and that kept me watching this movie till the end. The music was cool enough for me. I plan on watching the anime but I'm glad I watched the movie first before my impression will be spoilt if I did the other way. I will surely watch this again. It's one of the classic Japanese movies worth re-watching because of it's unique plot and especially if you are a fan of it. I recommend it especially if you want to watch something with your friends. This is certainly worth a try and one of the best Japanese movies.

I love this movie eventhough I haven't read the manga and it's definitely a living testament that PART 2's are not always bad. I loved the first one and definitely love this one. The actors were definitely great.I actually prefer this PART 2 than the PART 1. I always adore Ninomiya Kazunari's acting and this movie is no exception. I love their tandem: Nino and Kenichi though I don't pretty much like Kenichi's role here. I can see a great chemistry between Nino's character and Yuriko Yoshitaka's role. I love the soundtrack because it really fits every scene in the movie, the heartthrobbing scenes and the action fight scenes. The story could be quite confusing at first but as you try watching it you'll be able to understand the flow.It's definitely worth watching if you prefer action. The ending is a must watch.

Certainly one of my favorite Japanese drama. The way the story was presented, I love how the students faced the challenges from one episode to another. It's not your typical school drama where students face ordinary challenges of a student's life. Of course, the story revolves inside the classroom. The teacher's role here makes the drama more interesting and something to watch out for as the title of the drama itself. I love Shida Mirai's character and of course the teacher. I commend the acting of the students as well and even the teachers. They did their best but surely those two main characters are the stand out for me. It's not boring for me. The music sure helped to live up with the atmosphere of the story. I will definitely re-watch it if I feel like to. This drama is something to watch out for if you want a school drama with a twist. The story is somehow close to reality which can make you relate to it. Some instances can happen in real life. But certainly you can learn from it. You can symphatize with the characters and what they are going through.

This drama is really a hit because of its entertainment value and lessons learned from it all rolled in one. It's so enjoyable to watch that you can watch it several times whether you are alone or not. One of the best and classic school dramas. I can say the story is really inspiring and how it was executed in a comedic way which makes it entertaining is a good point for this drama. I find Yankumi's character amusing and she was played very well by Nakama Yukie which makes her character already one of the icons in Japanese dramas. Back to the drama, I love the acting of the cast especially the main characters played by Matsumoto Jun, Oguri Shun and the others. I love Kuma and also the Vice Principal. I love their comedic expressions. I love the music. It certainly owned the drama. I love the theme song Feel Your Breeze by V6. What makes me love this drama is it does not intend to be preachy and serious but it really tells you a lesson and in an entertaining way because of the character's personality and the situations that the characters face per episode. I love the antics of the characters and how each students' problems were solved through the help of their teacher.

I only finished watching it now. I should have tried watching it wayyy back. It's one of those dramas that will keep you glued and want for more. I find myself craving for more after watching this drama so most likely I will watch the next installments of this drama. I didn't notice the time while watching it. I find the acting of the main characters and even the supporting characters great and unforgettable. I find Nao annoying at times but I guess it's her role to be like that so it's ok. I find her acting convincing enough because she was able to make me feel that way. The music adds to the appeal to this drama. It makes your heart skip a beat. I love the music. I will most likely watch the drama again if I want to whether I'm alone or with other people. Overall, this is one of the great suspense dramas out there which teaches you a lesson and something to ponder about life especially about TRUST. It's entertaining and educational at the same time which makes it more interesting to watch. :)

I haven't watched the Korean version of this drama but I could say this is one of the best suspense Japanese drama I have ever watched. It is one of the dramas that left me a great and deep impression that will last for a long time and probably it will stay. It's one of the unforgettable dramas I have ever watched. It's really haunting. With the story, it is not a typical revengeful type of drama because I like the twists and turns of the story. But most especially I really like the acting that the cast portrayed here. They really did a great job from main actors to supporting ones. They really gave a great, lasting performance. I love their facial expressions. I like the acting of the two main leads: Ohno Satoshi and Ikuta Toma. They totally owned their characters. I could call them with their characters' name in the drama than their real life names already. Aside from that, it has a great soundtrack. The music is not annoying. It really fits the pacing of the drama. I really like the theme song: Truth. I could re-watch this whenever I feel like it. It's not boring. I finished it for 1 1/2 days but I guess if you are really hooked you can finish it much earlier than me. It's one of those dramas you can't put down easily and you can't stop once you watch it. ONE OF THE BEST ENDINGS EVER. Totally leaves you with a deep impression you will never forget. Beware! :)

The first time I heard this kind of story I had an idea what it would be like in my mind which is quite somehow a 'twisted story' knowing the roles of the characters already especially the main lead. I was able to watch other dramas of him and his role here as somewhat a 'psychotic' tutor made me reminisce the role he used to play before in an another drama which is The Quiz Show 2. I don't have any idea how the story will go though I have a feeling of its concept. Regardless of my impression of his role or an idea of what kind of drama will it be I decided to give this drama a try. As the drama goes from one episode to another I found myself glued and wanted to know more about the characters and how the story will eventually end. My curiosity brought me to watch one episode to another. At first episodes, I find this drama a bit dragging but glad after a few episodes before it ends it became interesting for me. I find the acting just fine but I can see Kamiki Ryunosuke could act as a villain in future acting roles and of course Sho Sakurai really played well. I was able to see Kamiki before in other dramas especially he began as a child actor but watching him now I could see his potential. Those two are the stand-out for me in this drama. I commend the whole cast for a job well done. I'm not too particular with the music but it fits enough the whole drama. I like Endless Game because it suits the theme of the drama.Maybe I can re-watch it with other people but not by myself anymore since the curiosity factor is already gone and I know how the story it goes. Overall, this drama is not your typical family drama which is why it's a must watch and it gives you something to ponder about at the end of the day. It's definitely not a boring drama. :)
