How can you watch the first Gantz and not watch the sequel? Even though this movie was not as action packed as the first, it was used as a vehicle to explain a lot of what was going on. The game continues and you get to see the affects and consequences of the game on both the humans and the aliens. I have to say, you kind of have to sympathize with both after watching this. Let's just say, after finishing this, I searched the web for the DVDs and purchased them immediately. Well worth it! Well worth watching. Thank you, oneterrorist for writing a great article recommending it.

Have you ever watched a drama that you were not sure why you were still watching it? Yet, you finished it and still could not fathom why you did? Well, this fits that classification. The main female character irritated me almost from start to finish. I actually felt sorry for the male character, Hyeok Jun, having to be stuck with such a childish, immature wife! There are few and far between moments that I actually liked her but I definitely can say I disliked the second lead female, Ga Young even more. Can I say, I have never seen a drama with Lee Da Hee in it that I liked? She is 0-3 in my book. I've never liked any of her characters. The story could have been more interesting if Jung Sook whined less. As far as the male characters, loved them all. Do I recommend this? Only if you have time. It has some fun moments but I swear, Jung Sook's character will truly drive you crazy! Whine! Whine! Whine! Its still ringing in my ears!

Stunning! Absolutely stunning! A lover of the classics would find no fault in this drama at all. It was fun to watch, the music was sensational, and the acting was amazing!

This was my first Ueno Juri experience and she was great as Nodame! She was funny, expressive in her emotions when needed and just an amazing actress in this. Tamaki Hiroshi as Chiaki was so good! He was the stuck up music man at first but he morphs into this character that you soon learn to love, even his prickly self. And let's not forget Koide Keisuke as Masumi! His constant antics to bloke everyone from his love, Chiaki was hysterical! Every time he is on the screen, you laugh, laugh laugh.

I have to applaud the writer and director for making this the first drama I've ever watched where the ending had NO FAULTS! NONE! I'll never forget the scenes when Chiaki meets the family. I'm still chuckling over those scenes! And boy, these two have some serious chemistry! Who else can make a back hug SO ADORABLE! 10's? I'd give this 20's for the music alone! Excellent drama! EXCELLENT!!

I don't know what it is about Taiwanese romance dramas but I really like them. I like them so much I generally end up marathon watching them. This was a pretty decent story. The acting was good especially Ming Dao (you have a new fan) and Annie Chen, what a cutie! I kept wanting to pinch her cheeks! I enjoyed the love stories. The conflicts made perfect sense; however, as usual, the noble idiocy always drives me crazy and this was no exception. Lu Sen and Yu Bei, I was really vested in their love story. I especially love stories with no triangles, hello!! Do I think this should have been 30 ep? No, I think it would have been a better story with fewer. But overall, I was thoroughly entertained and rooted for the couples from the beginning.

Great movie regardless of the sad ending! Giving a movie a bad rating because it is not your cup of tea is not a rating. I generally don't rate sad movies for that reason but I have to balance out the other rating because it really does a disservice to the movie.

Life is full of sadness as well as joy. The one thing that the Japanese do very well with sad movies is making you feel okay at the end regardless of the outcome. The acting in this movie was phenomenal. Erika Toda as Natsuki was my reason for watching and she didn't disappoint. This was my first Wakaba Ryuya experience and as Dalki, he was amazing as the autistic brother. Kato Kazuki as Sou, I'd seen once before in Hotari but didn't realize it until the end.

All genres are not for everyone but if you are a movie connoisseur who loves a good love story regardless of the ending, this is the movie for you. One thing I took away from watching this: whatever life has in store for you, live it to the fullest; don't give up and live for those around you who love you. That is the lesson Sou taught me and that is a reason to watch this. Excellent movie.

This really started out fun to watch! The cinematography of it was stunning! And who is the costumer!? Whoever it was, they were willing to use some seriously bold colors! When I say Kang Ji Hwan in a neon yellow shirt, I almost had to put my sunglasses on. One of the things I liked about this better than Bridal Mask was the women characters were phenomenal. Cha Song Joo was what we wish Mok Dan had been; a badass, pistol-shooting, motorcycle riding independence fighter! I have to give props to Ryu Jin as Soo Hyun, he was outstanding! Han Go Eun as Song Joo, I'm so glad to FINALLY see you in a role where I liked your character!! Kang Ji Hwan and Han Ji Min were definitely good as the lovers you'd never expect to see together. And can I say I just love this OST?!!

I wonder how many reviewers want to change their scores now that the pathetic ending has been shown? The writing was on the wall for me when they extended the drama. I realize that the writer knew that they made Goo Soo Nam so hated that there were going to be very few viewers on his side and also they made Hyun Woo oppa so perfect that no one would understand the logic of Yeo Ok's decision. Well, guess what? I don't understand it! I could forgive (not forget) the affair, but his overall attitude and feelings before his supposed change? No way. The acting was good, story was crap! Watch at your own peril as I could never consciously recommend this to ANYONE! TEAM OPPA 4EVA!!

That was AWESOME!! Now, let me preface with the fact I NEVER watch horror. So if you don't like horror, I suggest you go running kicking and screaming from this series!! Wow! I just finished the last episode and my heart hasn't stopped pounding yet!! The first episode takes you right into the story. The thing with this drama special series, you have to watch from the beginning to end for the pieces to nicely fit together. Did I tell you I'm still scared?!! Amazingly filmed. 90% in the darken night or hospital rooms. This is not for the faint of heart!! Damn, did I tell you my heart is still beating?!! Yes, it's that scary. Only episodes to relax were ep 2 and parts of 3!! Otherwise, it is definitely a horrorfest!!
