I wonder if anyone here's watching this drama.
It had very low rates at the time of airing, but I can't understand why. In my humble opinion, it's a wonderful drama. Sure, it isn't funny, nor a light watch, but it's very well acted, it's thought-provoking, disturbing and yet very sweet.

I haven't completed it yet, because the subs for the last 3 episodes have still to come up.
Anyone?
:)

I've seen it around, but I passed on viewing it because I thought it would be another cute high school love story. I'll add it to my "plan to watch" list now that you recommend it. I usually like the things you do :)

it's a good drama. kinda quiet but there are some serious themes going on in this drama. the lead character has it really hard and i feel so sad for her. the writing and acting is good. and the romance in it thou slow developing balances out the seriousness of everything else going on. the male lead is cute but i didn't really notice in the beginning, i more like his character when he is with the female lead, when he is not with her i don't like him so much but even so he's a good guy and their relationship is slowly changing both of them for the better. i'm waiting for the last 3 epis to be subbed.

i put my feeling for this drama along the same as my feelings for i.s. i believe if u liked i.s. u will like kingyo club. keep in mind that the issues in kingyo club are handled a bit more on the extreme side than i.s.

it kinda piss me off a bit...

in fact i'll just type what i have to say in the rant thread.

I simply copied and pasted from Dramawiki. What's the problem with it?

I'm a little confused, boutux. You mean the writing on the image says we shouldn't post the picture elsewhere? I can't read Japanese, so I thought it was the title of the drama.
If this is the case, I'm with you that it's stupid: the image can be found everywhere on google images. But the bandwidth clarifier wasn't me - I know nothing about bandwidths LOL and I never go to the rant thread, so I can't get the credit. :)
To be honest, I have never really bothered: if an image is available for everyone to download or copy the url of, I automatically assume it's free to be taken. Otherwise, they should just block it. And even if they do, I can always save it to my pc and upload it myself on any image hosting site.

there are still no subs to finish the drama. this is just too lame.

yep still waiting for that. i think it watched all the epis raw anyway but i can't remember how it ended

They finally were recently! Just no streaming videos for the last 3 episodes but the subtitles are here

Anyways, just started watching this drama last night and was surprised that the episodes were so short. Waiting on the last 2 episodes to finish downloading so I can finish them (why on earth would they include 15 extra minutes of a live shooting of something for the drama....it just takes it so much longer to download :/)

I'm actually really liking it, it really is a good drama and even though the actors are all young I think they're doing a really good job.
