It had a bit of everything, one minute I was laughing then the next I was hiding under my blanket. I thought the story was great and the acting was so good that, even though the story is supernatural, its still believable. Some parts of the film were predicable but thats to be expected in any film.
The acting was just amazing, I can't fault it at all. They pulled off the comedic scenes perfectly and had me laughing till my belly hurt. I had never seen the leads in anything else before, but they was so good I'm going to watch more of there work. Lee Min Ki facial expressions were a highlight for me!
This is a film I will be watching over and over again.

I thought the cast were really good- at lot of actors I had never seen in anything before- it was nice to see Kawaguchi Haruna in something other than Ouran. Shirahama Aran was brilliant and was the best out of the young actors in my opinion. Sometimes I thought it could have been acted better, but overall it was good.
The music was fine, the problem I have with music in most dramas is that sometimes they pick music that doesn't fit with the scene and ruins it for me, but GTO didn't have that!
I've already watched this twice and have just brought the DVD so I think its safe to say its now one of my favourites!

The plot might seem silly but its actually really good and heart warming. Its about teaching someone how to love. Even though the plot is a bit far fetched its still believable and thats one of the main things I love.
The acting is good, however I've never been a huge fan of Hayami Mokomichi and find his acting a bit lacking. I will admit I was biased and mostly watched this for Mizushima Hiro.

Being a huge fan of the anime Ouran already had my heart so my review is most likely biased.
The cast is great, I love Yamamoto Yusuke in anything though. I think the cast really portrayed the characters gestures and mannerisms well, although it took some getting used to.
I watched the first episode and wasn't a huge fan (I mean whats up with Honey randomly shrinking!?) but i'm so glad I preserved- It gets alot better.
I love the music, Miwa is one of my favorites so its always fun to hear her song at the end.
Its super compressed into just 11 episodes, there's a lot more they could have done, but what they have done is great, very light hearted and fun.

The first episode is an obvious copy, but after the second and third eps you start to see a few big differences, if anything this remake is ALOT more like the Twain version. Its more faithful to the Manga which I love.
The cast is great, I do prefer the original cast though. Miura Shohei is my favourite from this cast, hes great and very funny.
I preferred the ending to this version more so than the others. Anyone who hasn't seen the original will defiantly enjoy this, if you have seen the original try not to compare the two and you'll love it!
I think everyone who is a fan of Hana Kimi should give this a go. Don't knock it till you've tried it!

KIDS was very emotional. I loved the plot, it was very well written and not predictable (which is a problem I find with most Japanese dramas and movies).
The acting was suburb, you could really believe what was happening even though the story is supernatural. Teppei is now one of my favourite actors!
I didnt really take note of the music (Which is good because i usually only notice it if its really bad!)

I love the story! I'm defiantly going to watch the Anime now. The acting was great, it was very very sweet!
I think I could watch this over and over again. Its so funny, if anyone is having a bad day they should watch this.
I've never seen Koike Teppei in anything but I'm defiantly going to check out a few of the other dramas hes in, he was great.
The acting was good, very cute! and the chemistry between the male and female leads was great.

Its sweet, innocent and romantic. I love watching Sawako grow more confident and the film just makes me very happy. The story is very basic and not original- shy girl gets bullied in class, popular boy pays attention to her and they become friends. Nothing I haven't seen a hundred times before, but still kept me interested!
The acting is great but sometimes I felt like something was missing, I'm not sure what, it just seemed to lack passion. Its very slow paced and relaxed, so not for you if you like fast moving, action packed films.
Overall its just a very cute movie, there isnt too much else that can be said about it

The story is of a woman whose father left her all his gambling debts. After running away and living like a homeless person she eventually meets a billionaire who runs a company. He agrees to pay off her debts if he marries her and becomes "mother" to his six grown adoptive sons. I think its absolutely hilarious, Even though the plot can be a bit silly its still somehow believable. This drama is great. Its got a really good mix of emotional scenes and comedy. It had me laughing and crying but mostly crying with laughter!
All the acting is great, three of my favourite actors in one drama? yes please. Horikita Maki is really good as always and Yamamoto Yusuke is just his usual crazy self.

The story is good, a wealthy family loose money, and their house in the process. The daughter ends up working for a lawyers firm earn some money. Not a totally new or original story, but interesting none the less.
The acting is great, all the cast play the comedic scenes very well, though im proabably biased because I love Horikita Maki!
I didn't pay much attention to the music, though normally I only notice the soundtrack if I think it doesnt fit the scene, so thats a good thing!
If you like fun, light hearted dramas this is definitely for you. It does have some serious scenes but they are quickly over shadowed by something silly to make you smile.
