Not one I would re-watch, let's just put that out there. As far as the stories, not sure I was enamored with either relationship. I truly did not care whether the leads or seconds got together. Truthfully, I felt there was no way for the second couple to remain together but alas, this is a drama. What did we expect. As far as the ending, it was truly ambiguous so who knows what happens. I guess it's left up to our imagination. Again, I feel Lee Bum Soo's chemistry with his lead is always off. Except for History of a Salaryman and somewhat Giant, not feeling the relationship and it had nothing to do with his character.

I felt Brain was an intense medical drama. It truly was about competition and relationships in the work environment. If you are looking for a romance, this is not it. I felt that the acting was great; the depiction of the neurosurgeon and the surgeries they featured were very realistic. I would have preferred just a little more romance because this was one of the competitive points between the two main male leads. This is also one of the dramas where I actually liked the second female lead better. Her story was interesting and felt that she was actually a better match to the lead. No romantic conflicts in this drama because the romance really is not the focus. If you have a love for medical dramas, this is definitely one to watch; however, if you are looking for romance, you might want to skip this.

As much of a supernatural/crime/mystery fan I am, I really didn't like this. The beginning threw in a scene without any full explanation. Cheo Yong character and his ability was never explained. It starts out giving you the impression of one type of story but then it morphs into stories as the title suggests. I think it would have been more effective had it stayed that way. There were some really good stories that were here and there. Other times, I couldn't begin to tell you what the episode was about. And the final 2 episode had so much going, you had to sift through to understand. But be assured, at the end, you still have no clue why Cheo Yong is the way he is. Some people may like this but if I have to spend too much time trying understand the last hour, it's not worth the time. Season 2, I officially quit you.

Sweet, cute and sometimes funny as HELL!! I enjoyed this tremendous;y. I hardly watch HS dramas but as usual, I always enjoy the Japanese ones. The sexual innuendo, jokes and humor were definitely something that you would see in a Japanese drama. This was my first experience with both Kiriyama Renn (Arata) and Nishiuchi Mariya (Nika). Hard to believe that she really was only 17 at the time. That's another thing about most of the japanese dramas; they have actors playing their ages. Once in awhile, they might have one or two playing younger characters but their portrayal is totally believable. I had a great time watching this. Plus top it off with short ep of 30 minutes, you can finish this in one sitting. I will also remember Jinnai Sho as Hirota. Talk about an ultimate player!

Only a science fiction fan would love and appreciate this drama! So if you are expecting anything else, stop watching! I absolutely loved this! As a fan of the drama, it had every aspect that us SciFi fans would be looking for; intrigue, lies, freaky characters and a story that you can follow. All is revealed as the episodes are watched. Again, if you are expecting romance, forget this! This was a SciFi fans freaking dream come true! My appreciation and love for Toda Erika has increase ten fold. It started with Liar Game and continues with this series! Kase Ryo as Sebumi-san; you now have a new fan!!

Everybody dies?! Damn near! Oh man! That’s why I love Singaporean movies! They are filled with stunts galore, great acting, superb special effects and a story line you may never see again! The multi-story fight between two buildings? AWESOME!! Andy Lau is the King!! I just love this man! This was my first introduction to Gordon Lam as I’ve never seen him before as well as Ray Lui as the head bad guy. This movie definitely shows you the best (and the worst) of police work. The theme of “At any cost” is prevalent in this story. It was well told, filmed and acted. I really cannot say more. No, another movie not for everyone but if you like a decent Singapore movie, try it; you’ll like it.

Oh my goodness! I just LOVED this! From beginning to end! Yonekura Ryoko now has a new fan and I want to see everything she has done. As Michiko, she was fierce and totally in control!! I loved how every procedure was explained with a diagram of the body and depicted whatever type of surgery that was being performed. I loved the rest of cast; some I've seen in other supporting roles. This is probably my 3rd Japanese medical drama but I have to say, this one was the most impressive!! Here's hoping they do a season 2. BTW, my girl cannot dance but she looks DAMN good trying!!

This is a drama that really is hard to rate. Why? Simply because I was never crazy about the lead female, Mio. She drove me crazy. Her brother, Kazu, was wishy-washy but if if look at the fact that they portrayed those characters as they should have, they were great. I loved the little Doctor You had to suspend belief that someone so young could be a heart surgeon but then I've pretty much have gotten used to that in JDramas that I've watched. The story was nicely done in showing a young woman with an illness wanting to see her brother for possibly the last time. As far as the end, still contemplating that. But one thing has bothered me. Why was this the first time in 10 years that she had seen her brother?
