So watch it!

I had neither seen the anime or read the manga, therefore had to idea what to expect when I watched this. However after just two episodes I was hooked and it fast became one of thoses shows where you just have to watch the next episode no matter how late at night (or early in the moring) it is.
The great acting, music and script make it a must watch and since buying the DVD have found it is one of those rare masterpieces that you always end-up going back to, to rewatch when there is nothing on and never get tired of it!

The music is the best. I really love the opening when everyone is dancing. LOL

The story is really good, and there is a great message to be learned throughout all of the silliness in the drama. I cried a lot with Kyouhei and his relationship with his mom, and also Sunako and Kyouhei's relationship advances faster in the drama then is has in the manga. This drama is on the must watch list!

What saves this drama from being unwatchable is its lovely cast. Oh my Kamenashi Kazuya! He is handsome, charming and has the power to suck you in. The bad boy image suits him really well and you can't help but fall for him. I loved this on-screen version of Kyohei than in anime. Sunako however falls short. Although initially funny there hardly seems to be much redeemable in her. However I like the rest of its cast- Takeru, the aunt and everyone else.
The drama isn't completely good or bad. It has its moments. While I find parts of it to my liking a few of them gave me a headache. The unnecessary melodrama in the later half and the ending were what ruined the drama. The ending was so corny that it was more LOL than anything. I find this a fizzle because Kazuya-kun and Aya-chan had such good chemistry. Plus Aya is such a beautiful actress.
In the end the drama is forgettable to me. I am struggling to remember the parts I enjoyed in it because while I might have enjoyed, it didn't leave a mark on me. I wish the nosebleeds had been included in the drama since they included so many things anyway (I am a fan of nosebleeds).
Recommended to fans of the cast, the anime or manga. The rest can skip out on it.

Going into the drama I was a little hesitant, since the manga had such strong characterization of Sunako's fear of the "bright" people. I thought that the acting was phenomenal and truly paid homage to the manga.
Also I was impressed with the time that the drama was able to give to all of the guys she lives with. I was worried that they were going to focus on Kyohei primarily, but they managed to really define and dimensionalize the other three guys.
Overall a really great drama, whether you were a fan of the manga, or just picked on in high school. The message of strength isn't constantly rubbed in your face, but it is omnipresent and leaves the viewer motivated to find their own, unique inner strength.

This drama truly is a diamond in the rough! Although not perfect, this manga style drama has an original story that will have you smiling, laughing, and just plain addicted. I’ll admit I was hesitant about starting this drama and have shelved it in my “plan to watch” for a long time, despite being huge fan of Jdramas and reverse harems. However, while in the midst of waiting for new episodes of other airing dramas, I decided to dive into this one and it was WAY better than I could have ever imagined.
First of all, the story is very unique and interesting while still containing many of the aspects and cliques that we all love about dramas!! The soundtrack is catchy, the acting is extreme, which adds such an amazing comedic aspect, and the pacing is perfection. The show had lots of interesting twists and supernatural aspects thrown in that you can never predict what the next episode will hold. It was fantastic. I ended up binge watching the whole drama is just one day. I could not get enough!!
If you are in need of a new drama with humor, romance, and a unique story line, definitely give this one a try. Happy Drama Watching :)!

The reason I gave this drama a perfect 10 out of 10 is because this truly is one of the best dramas I have ever seen. Never in my life have a seen a live action done so perfectly, I dont even feel like its just a drama. While watching this, don't be surprised if you occasionally shed a tear, wheather it be from saddness or full on laughter. The acting in the drama is done so well it feels as if you are actually there, like its not even scripted. (Except for the intense humor. I doubt such funny things could happen in real life xD) I hope you do find the show as entertaining and heartwarming as I did :)

The one thing I can say I was disappointed in was the fact that Oda and Noi's relationship wasn't showned much in this version. Especially since Noi and Sunako become very close friends in the manga.
But other then that I loved this drama. I recommend people to watch this. they won't be disappointed.
Happy Watching Everyone! :)
