The story is ok. It is not the age gap. The actor who played Yoichi portrayed the sad emotions and insensitiveness required of his character well. Sakurai handled the maturity of his character well. But what was lacking is the chemistry. The Chemistry to bind the two characters acting well for this love story was missing. That makes everything less interesting. Even though the actors put an effort to justify their roles, the lack of chemistry makes it looks like the actors have not put in enough effort. If you look at the intimate scenes, it looks like the actors are unwilling or awkward(in a bad way) to do it. And that really put me off. Oh come on Sakurai San, you need to show the intense love in a very expressive way. Minagawa Kun also need to be more expressive. I felt Minagawa was intense but need to be expressive. These subtle expressions would have paid off in a big way if these two had Chemistry.
I liked the music part.
If you are expecting an intense love story, you might be a bit disappointed. Still if you have nothing else to do and just need to kill time, then watch it.

I wanted to write a review on 10th episode because this episode for me is like a beautifully written poem.
The actors Song hye kyo and Park Bo gum are very natural in their acting and handles their roles with ease.
The music compliments the story beautifully.
The 10th episode is a good example of everything coming together beautifully - the acting, story and music.
Now after watching all 16 episodes, I feel like the story can be condensed into 12 or 14 episodes but viewers like would have wanted more of this drama. The way they have presented a simple love story is just amazing. 16 episodes are just perfect for a beautiful slow paced(in a good way) romance drama.
If you are a romance drama lover and haven't started watching this already, then it is time to include this in your watch list.

I watched this drama for Lee joonki. Iljimae played by Lee joonki is awesome. Shi woo, Eun chae, yeppun danee, seo dol, ajik gang - all those supported Iljimae did their parts well. Byun sjik's funny moments especially while criticizing his daughter being leader of beggar sect(lol) - enjoyed it very well.
Loved the ending song in the last episode.
Will Iljimae be able to find his remaining family members who went into hiding after his father's death? Will he be able to find his father's murderer? Watch the drama to find out.

Dilaraba played the part of concubine Sun li beautifully. The ruthless emperor Ying Zheng played by Zhang bin bin , Jing Ke played by Liu Chang (found him smoking hot) , the sweet gentle eldest senior Han shen who supports Sun li in all her decisions played by Li Tian - all were awesome.
Loved the title and ending songs.
I watched till episode 14, put it on hold for months because I found the story dragging and boring. After a few months, I watched the remaining episodes and thought would put it on hold if I found it dragging. But from episode 15, I watched it non stop and even if the story gets dragging a bit somewhere in 30s episodes and in early 40s episodes, I completed all 48 episodes. What this means is story is predictable in between but it was not boring enough to put it on hold for me, hence I was able to complete all 48 episodes.
Will Sun li be able to survive the power struggle and politics of harem and the Palace? Will she be able to assist the Qin emperor Ying Zheng in his ambition in unifying the states? Will she fall for the emperor or is her heart still with Jing ke? Will Ying Zheng love Sun li's baby as his own or the baby just a means to keep Sun li by his side? Watch the drama to find out.

I liked the fairy cafe part. Apart from that, the story is draggy and pretty much predictable. A very weak plot. The issue between izy of mizar and Dubhe sounded like it was created for the sake of creating something for the story to move on.
Many incidents happen in the drama but the plot connecting them all is very weak. Actors were ok and this drama was too sweet for my taste. The actress who played fairy was beautiful but unrealistically sweet. May be that was required of her for this role.
I didn't feel bored much since I watched it each week but I did pause after 20 to 24 minutes and took break. Not a story that would make you glued to the scree. This is not a drama that you want to watch nonstop from start to finish - Well not for me atleast.
If you are a person who gets bored easily because of a sweet not much of a story romcom, then I suggest you skip this one.

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.

An ex idol trainee who ends up as a kpop boy group manager - can see the future. Can she use this power to her advantage? Is it a boon or curse? Watch the drama to find out. As a manager how she handles the situations faced by the band is portrayed here.
What goes on in those agencies where they recruit trainees and idols? If you are curious to know that, then watch this drama. This also shows the life of other staff at Entertainment agencies - especially the managers of idols and how busy they can get.
This shows the ups and downs in traineeife, the busier life of entertainment agency staff, the idol life behind the scenes etc etc.
Overall a different, realistic storyline as far as K dramas are concerned.
If you are a kpop fan, then this is a must watch to know behind the scenes of kpop life.

This is the love story of a virgin book editor Tsukishiro who has never been in love. She is assigned to an author (Kagaya) who can't write love stories. How they fall for each other and how they handle the situation is portrayed in this drama. Tsukishiro's colleague Mochizuki has a secret crush on Tsukishiro but have never had the courage to profess his love. He sees Kagaya as his potential competetor. Mochizuki is your sweet gentle second lead who takes care of the girl when she needs someone the most. Here the main lead Kagaya isn't that much of a jerk he seems to be, so you kind of ship Tsukishiro with both of them. My inclinination was more towards the main lead, but I do not mind if Tsukishiro ends up with Mochizuki either. Characters like Nanase isn't fully developed in the drama and I wish Nanase had more screen time.
This is one of the few dramas which I wish had more episodes than just 8 . I have neither watched the anime nor read the manga(I am planning to read the manga today.). So I cannot compare how true the live action is to the manga.
I liked the subtle way the love story developed in this drama. I need more of Tsukishiro and Kagaya. Completed all 8 episodes in just one go. That's not enough for me, going to read the manga and watch the anime now. That's what this drama does to you. It leaves you wanting for more.
Give this a try, it is a short sweet love story. There's definitely scope for a season 2.

Story of catching a serial killer from north Korea and how he is protected by different governments and secret agencies is portrayed in this movie. Will he ever get convicted for the gravest sins he committed? Watch the movie to find out.
They should have ended the movie at 1:50:50, then there would have been a scope for part 2. The scenes from 1:50:50 till the end was really unnecessary( but that is just my opinion).
No other serial killer creeped me out like Lee jung suk's character. Lee jung suk proved that he can handle any role with ease - not just the sweet lover boy role. Amazing acting Lee jung suk. You were perfect for the role. This is worth your time, watch it!

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.

Principal: Koi Suru Watashi wa Heroine Desu Ka?

The story is centered around Shima, Ken and Wao. I liked the way Shima handled her relationship while hiding her crush for some one else. The story is pretty much predictable. There are no unusual plots but it is very sweet.
Overall a sweet high-school romance movie to watch while sipping your tea.

That is not a spoiler and you need to watch it to understand it. I don't think any other actress could portray this role as this girl did. Nana had that innocence, passion and honesty of feelings - everything was expressed well. She is one of the few actresses in Asian dramas whom I like for her acting and expressing the character so beautifully without making us feel any artificiality.
Loved the chemistry between Koh Chan and Natsume. Ohtomo and Kana did their part very well too. t is a good movie for a lazy afternoon. Loved it.

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.

Her novel series ranks no. 1 but her stories lack romance. That is the feedback she gets from her readers. Her childhood friend also attends her school and has a secret crush on her. One day she finds out a secret about one of her classmates. In order to keep the secret to herself, she asks the classmate to be her lover so that she could feel what romance is.
Her experience with her classmate helps bring romance theme into her novels. Her rival novelist even comes to picture. Watch this to know how the story progresses.
It has cliche high school love story plot but it's predictable but interesting twists made this watchable for me.
I found it interesting, may be you might too if you give this a try.
