I have written this review after watching 4 episodes since these were the only parts that were subbed.

Anyways, I admire the writer of this drama because it is very entertaining. Whoa, I love the chemistry of the lead actor and actress who amazingly portrayed their characters so well.

The kissing scene just tickles me, even if I don't understand I went to the next episode just to see if he was slapped. To my surprise, he wasn't. Hay, how I love that scene.

This drama is a fun and light one that doesn't focus only on the main role like most of the other romance drama. Portraying the main role trying to understand herself better while going through a break up. It has a good story plot and I like the ending the most because it was really unexpected. Bringing up a slightly brave concept, this drama is well-made!

Eh at first I actually did like it. I really like how the main couple was really cute being just friends and all. I really respected the main male mc as well he was a bit stubborn and arrogant which I usually hate, but the thing that is different is his really nice to the girl and to people in general. When there is an arrogant male mc there usually a jack asss to everyone so this was refreshing for me.

Story wise I kinda like it at first, but as it carries on kinda gets boring with just a new ad after another.

Music- I felt the same song was overused over and over again.

Characters-The main male mc I did like at 1st as well but later on he starts becoming a little too clingy to the girl which was annoying. I actually did start to like the main female mc and the 2nd lead male together they were really cute in the arcade scene. The thing I don't get is how the bitchyy 2nd female lead became so obsess with the 2nd male mc. I must have either skip it or just came out of no where.

Rewatch value some cute parts but most the time I find my self skipping due to many boring scenes. read more

The Quiz Show

Keep Calm and Hang On....This isn't your ordinary game show within this drama. I'm going to alter this review a little differently than I normally do since this is a part of my Psychological Challenge requirements. Check it out.

How is this plot differs from other psychological dramas?

This plot involves a setting of a Giga Television produced show named 'The Quiz Show'. The show offers an alternate approach where a new contestant appears on the show each show along with the wacky host. The contestant must answer a series of questions in order to make it to the 'Dream Chance', however little as they know, the questions later involve their deepest darkest secrets where each contestant highlights one of the Seven Deadly sins. The question is 'Will one admit one's own deadly sin or will one be unable to admit it?'

First Thing I Notice About This Drama:

The opening theme song consists of Metal and Screamo Japanese music with English lyrics surprisingly. My keyword: Unique is what I'm calling this opening since many openings are bright, vibrant, and not as an attention-grabbing as this one.

Is the acting any good?

When I hear this type of question, I automatically think of the main characters within the drama. The wacky host, MC Tazaki portrays two sides of his character-the side of him who is ill-mannered, locked up, lonely, and loss of memory, and the 'host' side of him who is outrageous, abnormal, crazy, and energetic. His acting is done phenomenally which I mainly watch this show solely based on his outstanding acting.
The show's producer, Yamanobe Kengo is a dark character where he portrays a sadistic, evil side as well as an insecure, jealous man. His body in one of the episode blow me away! On the other hand, his acting is brilliant. No doubt, both of the main characters portrayed their roles well.

Are there any twists within the drama? Is it bloody or gruesome?

There is barely any scenes with blood involved. Most of it is well hidden and shows some blood in a scene or two. Nothing is too major. In most psychological dramas that I've watched, there are always twists presented. To answer this, yes, there is a twist. Unluckily, I was not able to solve the story itself before the drama started unraveling the story. I did pick up a clues here and there. Not enough for me to figure the ending.

Overall, I recommend this drama to anyone who is a fan of game shows, psychological, suspense, and adores 'twist' types of dramas. I had tremendous amounts of fun figuring out each contestant's darkest secret and whether they will win the prize or not.

Have fun and keep on guessing! read more

Not good, DAMN GOOD! From start to finish, this continue the exciting, no it exceeded the excitement of the first, that is a rarity that a second season is truly better than the first. Even some of the lingering questions that were mulling through my head were answered. I still railed at Fujimaru sometimes and what his character would do but I gave up hoping that he would do things differently. J's character, of course was still brilliantly played by Hiroki! I do not recommend watching this before the first season, you would miss plenty. And where can I hunt down this OST? Before the week is out, I will be trolling the internet for each and every song! Fantastic drama! Fantastic cast!

Taiyo to Umi no Kyoshitsu

If you're looking for a good school drama, then look no further! As a second-year high school student, I find that this drama really does teach you, or rather remind you of what's right, and what should be done. It's aimed for the youth that are struggling with growing up and living in this world. It has a message, actually a lot of them! You begin to love every single character, relate to their feelings and I personally feel that each character couldn't be portrayed better by another actor. The casting really is outstanding!

I judge on whether a Movie/Drama is good by if it made me shed some tears or not, be it happy tears or sad ones. Even if it's a cliche moment, if the acting, music and atmosphere were able to make me cry, then they have succeeded in sending the message and illustrating those feelings. 'Taiyo to Umi no Kyoshitsu' made me cry many times.

Definitely worth the watch! read more

That Fool

Kinda just dropped this at episode 3

Well thing that made me drop is the male mc.

You may like him though if your tired of those arrogant rich guys because he is refreshing.

The show I found was pretty funny especially the male mc right from the start.

The thing is though I couldn't take him seriously and found him to much of a little btchh. Too dam nice and spineless.

For me I prefer male mc that are not arrogant or like the male mc in this drama but male mc that are respectable and cool. So for me watching someone like this was torture.

They Kiss Again

WOW my heart is still fluttering.

As you can imagine I watched this Drama 'cause it's the sequel to It started with a kiss. I had my doubts about the taiwanese version. Especially because of the end of every episode. As if a little kid cut the story wherever it wanted. Even in the middle of a sentence!!!!!

But it may be forgiven, because there are too many good points.

1. Actors: I never experienced a chemistry between the actors as unique as in this show. Especially Zhi Shu's actor is incredible. His face showed so much expression without destroying Naoki's character, but emphazising important aspects about Zhi Shu(Naoki) other actors couldn't show. But there were some really awful actors too. Christine and her father were really bad. I got the feeling that they picked some foreign looking people from the street and asked them to act in the drama. And even though they played the role of a British family, they had a heavy accent. But they aren't that important, so this may be forgiven too.

2. Story: As in every version there were some changes in the story. But the writers did an incredible job. The way they built the characters made everything seem more realistic. To be honest I always thought that Itazura na Kiss was best fit as a Shoujo Manga. But the writers managed to transform the manga into a Drama that shows the characters in a more realistic way without destroying the storyline or changing the main atmosphere. Especially the ending was great. I'm so grateful to the writers for showing Zhi Shu as an emotional and loving man. He made me cry at the end(not the very end! lol)

3.Body Language: Okay this is part of the points above, but it's important enough to speak about it seperatedly. As we all know KDramas are the Dramas of hitting mouth on mouth, staring at each other or freeze due to a shock while kissing. Japanese do a little bit of a better job, but there are still so many Dramas that were ruined by bad kisses. THIS IS SO DIFFERENT! As I mentioned above, the actors have great chemistry. There were some scene where I thought: Oh my god how much more will they show??! You could really feel Zhi Shu's passion for Xiang Qin. I always missed it a bit. In other versions you don't experience his love for her as much as in this one. Well there were times when mouth didn't meet mouth, but alltoughether I just saw the most passionate scenes since I started watching asian Dramas 209 Dramas/Movies/Specials ago. Now I can rest in peace. ;)

I didn't expect the second part of It started with a kiss to be this good. I liked it better than its prequel. Sometimes there were some kitschy parts that hit me completely unprepared, but apart from that the story was really good.

I recommend this Drama and hope you will give it a try. read more

1) The reason I watched this:
I thought it was as sweet as ISWAK or itazura na kiss.
2) Storyline/Plot:
Very poor,no feelings.
Positive Points:
I can't think of any.

I dropped this drama after watching the 2 first episodes I usually like these kind of plots but this one is just well how to say it STUPID AND A WASTE OF TIME, let me explain there are no feelings in it the acting is so bad,you don't feel anything while watching it , it's just a waste of time so I don't really recommend it unless you want to lose your time.

The story was intresting, at first....
The story didn't move forward at all!!

In the beginning I thought that the main girl was OK.
She was cute and a bit clumsy. And after 3 ep you just get tired.
She was just so annoying!! Her whole character was like a parody of the "naive but cute girl". What was the writers thinking?? She was so dumb!
Her lack of common sense was amazing...
The main guy was just a douche. But his mom was quite sweet.

I'm amazed by the acting. They were so good that I hate their characters now.
Music? Just meh...
I'll never watch this again. Because I know I'll just rage quit half way

Overall? This is the worst drama I've ever seen. If you like torture...
I recommend this! read more
