Great drama, although it was probably one of the heaviest dramas I watched. I often think about it and come back to it. I just wonder about one thing...

The first rule of mdl is to never pay attention to ratings, they often don't make any sense.

Most dramas don't need romance, the most boring genre in the world.

I really liked this movie. I'm glad I found it.
It's kind of like more violent version of karate kid.

I knew him as Vixx member before but then I watched Children of nobody and found out he's a great actor (his role was quite heavy there) and I don't say that about all kpop idols who star in dramas.

I don't like romance centered dramas so I'm waiting for some thriller/suspense dramas with him.

I watched the first few episodes and they were fun but later it got kind of boring, does it get better at the end?

Great movie! It goes on my favorites list for sure.
I really loved the relationships in this movie: found family, brotherhood. That ending though...I knew it will happen but still...

Only the first 20 minutes could be categorized as a comedy though, so I don't know if it should be put as a main genre, it will confuse people for sure...

What was that? What did I just watch? Well... at least the acting was good because the script...

Exactly.

No, this series doesn't need any romance.

That's why I like Japanese dramas, they are weird and unpredictible, they don't always follow certain formula the way Korean dramas unfortunately often do.

I come back to this drama from time to time, it's really gripping.
I love the way Kamiki portrayed Shinichi Numata, his complex dynamics with the teacher made it interesting to watch.

Yes, I understand. I just don't get people who are adding dramas with romance to non-romance dramas list. It's like I was adding thrillers to non-thriller dramas list lol.

Ehh I wanted to watch it but then I found out there's romance here...pity...

So there is a romance or not? Some comments are contradictory. I don't want to watch romance so I really want to know before I even start.

This drama was so cute and peaceful. I really enjoyed it.

Also, I love Sui's personality, the actor did a really good job with this character. He was very sweet but not overbearingly so.

I heard that On the verge of insanity and Little women have romance, isn't that the truth? Also, At a distance, spring is green literally has a romance tag. Someone messed up this list.

Ocn? Good thing you wrote that, I will add it to my plan to watch list^^

That's your opinion. I almost never like romance in any kind of fiction. I find it boring and/or cringy (there is a few exceptions). Obviously no romance doesn't automatically mean good plot and great storytelling etc but I really like that there are works which don't include it and I wish there was more. Romance sells (just look at 50 shades grey, 365 days or a huuuge number of romance centered dramas ), the person above explained exactly why it sells most of the time, so I'm glad that there are creators who don't want to use this selling device while creating something.

Yep, I love different detective/mystery series but jdramas are very special to me, I just like the vibe, style and complex relationships between characters. And I like how they often have psychological aspects too.

Mine too ♡
