Kei is a passionate dancer and his passion for dance gets ignited once again by his love for Yui. Yui on the other hand goes through ups and downs to find what she wants to do in life.
I liked how the story is developed in this drama. They both bring changes to each other's life and make them want to go for what they want in life rather than settling with what they have.
The way Kei and Yui handled the situations in their relationship are pretty much realistic and mature. Both characters did what they wanted to do, it was never like only one character had the power of decision making - no. Every character had the freedom to chose and stick to what they wanted. That's the beauty of this story and that's what I liked most about this drama.

Now, coming to how I felt about this movie-
it is DAEBAK. Yea I loved every moment of it. How Ichigo complies to undergo reaper training from rukia and together how they faces the hollows- all of it is just awesome. I enjoyed it from the start till the end.
You got school romance, action, supernatural- yea many of the genres you like combined--that is this movie.
At first you think it could be a supernatural one. Then you think could be a rom com? Then you are like oh no no it is action packed!!! Yesss ss you got all that here.
I liked the part where each time his classmate tells the rest of the class "An accident happened to Ichigo and he died" and at that exact moment Ichigo turns up and says " I am still alive." I found this part funny and at the same time liked it very much. How Ichigo never gave up when fighting rukia's brother - that is another DAEBAK part.
It is a pity that I could not watch this in a movie hall. For me, this movie does not have a single boring moment. Watch it if you like the genres mentioned above.
If you don't watch it, you are missing something important.

It has casual natural behind the scenes from Act III motte tour. I watched it for our cute beloved GD. Everything is portrayed naturally. GD's interactions with his manager, how GD is in his van - does he sleep? Does he talk a lot? I know VIPs are curious about all these things and you get to watch all these. You won't feel it is scripted. Miss Top(Choi Seung Hyun).
Waiting for all of them to be back from military soon.

Onmyouji uses his fortune telling ability to solve the life problems the people around him faces. Whoever comes to the shop for a fortune reading, he and his assistant tries to solve their problem through a practical psychological approach for a fee ofcourse.
The mysticism surrounding this story attracts you. At first you are not sure of Onmyouji's intentions. You might even think this is just another typical mystical predictable drama. Well, that's were you are wrong. The story is full of twists.
It has mysticism, typical cute drama stuff, slice of life, high school life etc.. everything you want is here.
The ending..this is not your typical dramatic ending. It is a very realistic ending.
You should definitely give this a go. The story is definitely worth your time.

Disturbing psychological events
When I saw the first episode, I was like, this is not scary at all. I read the plot summary and it went like " the real events are scarier than the drama " . After reading that I thought I would watch it during the day. The drama itself isn't that scary but many scenes are psychologically disturbing.Drama starts with a famous celebrity Haruka's paranormal experience and then goes on to show how this experience affects her and her boyfriend's life. A writer interested in paranormal stories, interviews Haruka and comes to know that all of the bad events started when her boyfriend turned fiance visited a cursed house. Then the writer connects with a number of other families who had lived in that house for a period of time . The writer discovers that all of them had experienced severe personal losses in their life after staying in that house. I liked how the writer tries to connect the dots between the events happened to the families who lived in that house once and the bad things that followed their life even after leaving the house.
The events each family goes through is shown in detail - there are many gore scenes - flesh and blood etc.. So if you are triggered by those type of scenes, then this drama may not be for you. More than your typical horror movies, in this drama, people who visit the house or who stays there experiences severe psychological disturbances.
If you like psychological, disturbing gore kind of drama for a change, then you could give this a try.

The not so confident teacher in a reputed school fell in love with her student. The consequences she had to face is picturised in this drama.
Hijrichan is not your usual teacher. She is well aware that her love is a minor. Based on that she takes a sensible practical decision which is not very easy. Her fiance Kawai comes to help her but she refuses to let any other to help her with this. She is well aware that such things have to be handled only by her.
Hijrichan and Kuroiwakun faces opposition from Society and their parents - which is a given considering the situation that the student is a minor. But Hijri's sensible decision calms the situation.
Hijri, Akira, their parents, Kawai, his love interest - every one is right in their own way.
A very sensitive subject relevant in Society handled in a very brilliant way - that's what this drama is.
You need to watch this for the cute love story between Hijri and Akira and how practical they are with their love.

This review may contain spoilers
A seemingly innocent prank against bullies backfire and turn out to be a violent incident. The incidents leading to the prank and the aftermath faced by the culprits behind the incident - the 4 friends, is shown in this drama.This drama addresses many problems of high-school life - bullying, underage sex, how they relate to society etc.
This is not a sweet sugary romance high school love story. This leans more towards slice of life kind of story. This drama has violence and a bit more intimate scenes.
Some characters like maru are so convincing in their role that you hate them to the core in the beginning for their wrong doings. Our confused hero Tobio did an outstanding performance too.
I would have wanted Ichihashi to live and be with Renko(for God's sake, he deserves atleast that much happiness in his life). Sometimes life is like that, but considering this is a drama, the writers should have given Ichihashi a chance at happiness. His character was very mature in the end that he didn't deserve the ending he got. If I was the writer, I would have definitely given Ichihashi the happy life that he deserved.
All other characters' part fit well with the story. One more thing I would change other than Ichihashi is when Koyoi slept with Tobio and Isami found out about it - they should have given a scene to show Isami's reaction to Tobio. Just a confused surprise was not enough.
I wanted something to happen either between paisen and Sensei or between Sensei and angry detective.
Music was ok.
I would suggest you to give this a try if you are looking for something different other than the usual romcoms.

The story revolves around an AR game, it's developer and the people who are ready to buy this game. From start to finish, the story makes you glued to the screen - it was like that for me. But bugs appear on this game, people get killed and those who end up playing it at times experiences that there is only a thin line between reality and the game. Can the developer delete the bugs? Watch the drama to find out.
Park Shin hye who gave life to Emma and Hee ju was exceptional as always. Se ju played by Chanyeol - all Exols should watch this. Honestly I wasn't sure of Chanyeol justifying Seju's role but the last two episodes proved me wrong. Chanyeol did his part well. Hyun bin - we all know he is a veteran actor and can handle any role with ease. Others worth mentioning are those who played Marco, CEO Cha, Jin woo's Secretary, Su jin, CEO Park, Professor Cha, Hee Ju's sister and Go Yu Ra.
Music is excellent and suits the drama very well.
The Changes I would have made to this drama if I was in charge - I wanted Seju to have more screen time not because it is Chanyeol, but the Character himself as the game developer - deserved more screen time. Second thing is I might have wanted the ending differently but the ending of this drama is different to the one I or many of us might have imagined(in a good way) . There's a scope for season II, no there has to be a season II otherwise it is like they left us hanging midway just like that.
I will patiently wait for season II no matter how long it takes.

I liked it because of the ordinary story. Yes it is the story of ordinary people and that makes this extraordinary. Day to day life of ordinary people portrayed realistically is what made me like this drama.
The actors have used more or less their real names which gives a realistic touch to the story. The BL touch of Joon jae and Takuya made it more interesting for me. Honestly, I watched this drama for Joon Jae and Takuya. Takuya and Joon jae deserved more screen time. If you haven't watched it already, give it a try!

A very lighthearted romance drama
If you want to watch a sweet light hearted romance drama, then this movie is it. The movie gives a glimpse into the dating hazzles of an idol.An actor idol Ayase Kaede falls in love with an ordinary high school student when he comes to her school for a shoot and how their sweet romance story progresses is portrayed here. Not much of a story but how the idol actor manages to date his high school sweetheart among his busy schedule and the consequences the couple face when reality hits is shown here. I liked the amusement park date night.
Ayase Kaede San played by Ryota is cool and his smile stole my heart. The characters I liked most were Ayase's Manager(played by Endo Kenichi) and Hinana's best friend Aachan played by Maeda Gordon. Aa chan was kind of cute and supportive. I didn't mind if Hinana ended up with Ryota or Aa chan because both couple are cute(just my opinion).
It is good to watch it once. They should have included a passionate kiss between the lead actors, even though kiss scene is there, not very passionate, so a bit disappointed there.
If you are looking for a light hearted sweet high school romance drama, then watch it already!

The plot keeps you on your toes. The murderswap game of apartment residents and the resulting murders, are they really related? Ono Chan becomes more creepier in part 2 . Sao who works at meat processing facility also gives more creepy vibes. Kuroshima's smiling stalker Uchiyama definitely tops the creepers list. Doyan - Is he really helping Tezuka in solving Nana chan's murder or does he have any hidden motive? Tamiya - is he really learning acting or venting his frustrations of feeling guilty? The Nurse and the creepy grandma - are they related to these murders??? The writer has done a great job in making us suspect many people, eventhough towards the end it becomes more or less clear who the culprit is.
Nishino Nanase(Kuroshima Sawa), Nao(Ono Chan), Kakei Miwako(Nurse), Uchiyama( Kuroshima chan's ever smiling high-school mate - could not find his real name), Ryusei(Nikaido, Doyan), Nanase Katsuhisa(Tamiya), Katagari Jin(The doc), Ando(Sao), Creepy grandma etc all did their roles well.. I mentioned only creepy people because to successfully portray creepiness it takes certain effort. Of course our favorite mystery loving couple Shouta( Tanaka Kei) and Nana(Harada Tomoyo) did a great job as well.
I would have wanted improvement on the music, though the music was creepy enough when showing Ono chan, other creepy acts and pre murder attempts deserved a chilling mood setting music to build up the suspense.
The end is just another beginning (nowadays for many dramas, it seems so). Ending seems like, part 2 was forced to end there to create a part 3 for the coming episodes. So we certainly have to wait for part 3. We got a glimpse of part3 in the last episode and it seems interesting enough for me to wait for it. This is the beauty of J Drama mysteries - the plot never disappoints.

The horror scenes have been presented well. (Why I say it is presented well even though the story is weak is, recently, I watched some horror movies, which had better story lines than this but the effects were so poor that, it didn't actually make you feel the fear factor. So compared to those, the effects are good). Even though I scored it a 6, if there was a scoring for effects, I would have given an 8 for the horror scenes. The lighting and sound effects are perfect for those scenes. The unexpected( may be it was expected to be unexpected, but was predictable - hence mostly expected) comedy parts here and there cracked me up. I laugh easily so the comedy scenes did make me laugh. I started watching at 12 am and because of the fear factor (I was alone in my room), after 5 minutes, I stopped it and watched it during daytime.
This is a light hearted ghost movie, so watch and enjoy at your own leisure. Who knows? You might enjoy it if you don't have expectations or pre conceived notions about it.
