I will admit that I started watching this drama because... I liked the poster!

So I wasn't expecting anything from it, but the truth is I ended up loving it. I really, really loved it.
It has action, romance and most importantly, a good story.
The story focuses on the love of the two main characters and a rivalry between two clans. However it has other clans coming together and we get to see how the problems are dealt with. It also talks about the principles and what is right or wrong and the perspectives of it, as well as the sacrifices that we need to make sometimes, even if we don't want to.
I noticed then that I love Yuan Bing Yan, she's an excellent actress and I've seen some of her dramas in this kind of drama, and love them. Qin Jun Jie I've never seen him before but I hope to see him again soon.
The rest of the cast is also good, and it was good to see Han Cheng Yu again, I think he's a good actor, and here was no exception.

Visually it's very beautiful and all the sets are well done, as are the fight scenes.
Ost is beautiful, really. I usually skip the intro of these dramas so as not to see spoilers, but this time the opening music was so beautiful I couldn't resist!

About the ending, I liked it. For those who want to know, it's a happy ending. And I was so scared until the end.

I'll probably watch it again. But my list of dramas to watch is giant!!!

Really sweet!! Love it!

I started this drama because I didn't have anything to watch and because I really like Fair Xing from other dramas. I end up doing a little marathon!

The drama is so cute and sweet. Good points is that they don't have that mean girl, those break up (at some point I was expecting that, and I was really glad that that didn't happened), they all accept there love and no complications. And the Chemestry!! Oh my they are good!
They have really good references and poetry, that sometimes I didn't understand so I needed to look for it. And wow that was smart!

The second couple were cute too, more cliché haha but I really enjoy them.

I think I just didn't enjoy thta musch the earthquake part. but it is okay I guess. But the end was good, not like those rushy endings.

It was a very good drama!! I miss them already and I hope that they make more dramas together!

This movie have a crazy twist, and I love it.
One writer want to write a book about a famous photograph, Yudai, that is supposed to burn a woman just to take artist pictures 2 mouth ago. He wants to know everything about him and his sister, about the past, the present, what they feel and anything that is important to understand them.

Kyosuke, the writer, have a little investigation about Yudai, and somehow they talk very well. I mean Yudai that is a mystery for everyone but he talks about his life and the sister very well. hiding something that he don't like but is ok.

The story is a little complex for me to write in here and I don't want to spoil the moment of "WHAT??" because everything is connect.

I like the acting, they have that mysterious look, and a little crazy sometimes.


The movie is very well made, I really like it.

I would love to watch this movie all over again!

I love that the movie fells so relaxing, is hard to explain but you feel light (and maybe you will feel a need to plant everything)
The characters were so natural, the three of them, and realistic, very good acting.
Another thing was the story, simple and perfect, and the way that talk about harvest season, it was very poetic, and very good incluing the food that she makes with the memories and the season.

The music was fine, but I prefer the sounds of nature.. perfect!
Omg was very good movie.

I was not sure what to expect from this drama, but overall I liked the story itself.

I confess that at first I found it a little slow, mainly because it seemed that there was going to be a lot more mystery at the beginning, but that parte was resolved quickly. I was totally captivated from Episode 5, was more about the love and we began to question more the purpose of the past, present and future, and what small decisions can affects all your life.

On the acting ... the actors were all news to me * less the chen ting xuan but I do not even remember where I saw her * I really enjoyed Derek his acting in every part of the drama was very good, such as chan Lyan, I think she was perfect for the character.

I do not know if I would see this again, but I do not think so.
In short it was a good drama to watch.

I do not remember the last time I got so addicted to a drama like I was with Just between Lovers.

And I'm being honest when I say that I like melodramas but I'm very "strange" about them, however this drama had everything so perfect and realistic with very real people and problems.
In relation to the story itself, as the synopsis says, it is two people who have suffered an accident that has changed their lives and those around them, which is very important and I think watching the drama we will make you understand it better. This have a developing of a loving relationship, but more importantly is how these two characters get rebuild and deal with their problems. And we also have to see and understand that the secondary characters, they are all needed, everyone has their stories and they are definitely important to the drama.

The actors were excellent, that is the true, although I did not know anything of what they did earlier I only knew JunHo of 2PM, and I loved Won Ji Oh, and hope to see more of her soon. The chemistry they have is fabulous, so real.

OST- The moment was sometimes intense, then the song appears and I'm already crying ... it was excellent also and very well worked, placed in the key moments.

Would I come again? Obviously... Who want's to see it? I'm in.

In general ... this drama makes us have a different view of life and what we are making of it, living each day as if it were the last. * I do not even know how many print screens I've done in this drama *

I really love tokyo ghoul! reallyyy...
So I was super excited to see this live-action, but with some obvious fear, due to the Attack of Titan movies that have scared me.
However I have to say that I loved the movie itself. From how they built the story, the actors and even the special effects, it was very good.
Masataka, surprised me too, I even felt that it was Kaneki with that innocent and aggressive side when he is taken to be, I could feel that it was really him and I just want to go in and hug him and say that everything is okay, we was such a character so I was impress for the act. The others were good to, I wanted to see Uta so bad *lol*

Overall I liked it a lot and I think you should give it a try, both the story and the filmmaking went very well. I can only hope for another great movie.

This is indeed a drama that must be seen !!! It went straight to my favorites.

Dealing with what it really is to marry and what envolves, for those who marry and for the people around them. It also deals with the relationships between people and what they really want out of life, sometimes leading us to stop and think about what is really important for us to live in, and not what society want or what familly wants, because this is our first life . * ihihi *
We see for example the wishes of the three friends, so they will obviously follow different ways to get there but what matters is how they will adapt to it.

The drama is great as it will treat and develop the story, it is not slow nor too fast, is perfect. The characters themselves were well-developed and realistic.
Ji Ho was obviously my favorite for her way of thinking and at some point focusing on what he really wants and fighting for. Se hee brought his past and it was good to see his development
Ho Rang was another character that I did not understand well in the begining , or better understood what she wanted but I thought that she was selfish to a certain point, but important to understand the couple.

OST! Marvelous * lol * but it really is!

Rewatch? I usually do not see dramas again because I already have so many to see, but if anyone wants company to see it, I'm IN!!

Here I am again going to see a movie without any expectation. I did not see the anime or read the manga, but I probably shoud see it.

Overall I liked the movie, it's super cliché really .... but super funny. I loved the characters, especially Kairi, the energy was fantastic, I think it was my favorite.
Sae was really strange, in my view, the way she reacted to things and her schemes, in the most creepy sense.I like Mizuki too, her character was diferente I guess and dramatic and super fun.

About the end I was surpirse but I like it.
Overall it's a funny and fun story.

I'm so happy for this live action, it was one of favourite mangá.
I know that for a movie isn't so much time to tell everything that the manga have, but some parts were off, it was *how can I explain...* It wa sa rush and only center in one relationship. I feel like the others relation were not so important. Yuyuka give the wrong idea in the movie, some characters *important for the story* were missing too. You really, really need to read the mangá to understant why the story is so amazing.
One point I think that in the movie Mamura was sometimes not like Mamura because he looks agressive into her, to pushy.
The cast I like it, Nagano Mei was so amazing with the character and Moura too.
I love that the ending scene was the same, it was cuteee!! I thought that maybe this were better in a drama style, so much history for a movie.

I love watching a movie without any expectation because I did not know anything about this one. But I was really glad I saw it.
The story is very beautiful, and have fantastic details, it gave a little hunger when he cooked, which is good. I loved the way he dealt with her, how he explained everything about the cooking and how he should do it.
Personally, I also liked his connection to plants and the way he talked about them.

I advise everyone, because it's not just another romance, nothing cliché * I think * deals with small problems that we have in love, in relationships.

I just think the song could have been better.

Will I see you again? most likely.

What led me to see this drama was that it involved art and school because I did not know anyone here *no I didn't se Love o2o lol*
I can say that I loved the first part, and it really made me miss the times when I was in high art school myself. I did not think that the story was going slowly, quite the opposite, showing us the day-to-day and how love and hate are developing, just like the values of friendship.
However in a second part I felt that the story itself ceased to exist, becoming a game of popularity, which made me really sad, "Oh i miss the old days"

Act: I do not have much to compare with other dramas, but I really enjoyed Zheng Shuang and all the faces she made. I really thought everyone did a good job.
One point that I enjoyed immensely was the music, always perfect and in the right moments.

I maybe see this again, probably the first part.

Wow! It's a first thing I have to say. This must be one of the best drama I have ever seen. With excellent beginning, middle and end and nothing, even nothing foreseeable. Of all the theories nothing ends like I thought and this ... this is excellent.
The Story line: Was confused in the beginning, because of the 2/3 fases of the story. But slowly and without showing to mutch everything will get in the line. I like that, and what they did, they they put everything together.

Bu they talnk about something important to, you memories and what they are to you, why is important to have them, even if they hurt you or make you sad they are important.

Acting / Casting: Perfect! Kim Kang Woo was once again perfect. I did not know much about Gong Seung Yeon, but she was excellent at every stage of the plot, wow I have to keep an eye on her.
Rewatch Value: over and over again.

I was excited about this drama, and even enjoyed the first few episodes although I expected more. Well telling the truth, I expected much more from the drama itself.

The story was simple and in general it was beautiful, but ... I felt they tried to get the melodrama by force and it did not go well. The characters themselves were not the best either, so I did not find the novel very plausible, especially her.
For me, the best characters were undoubtedly the secretary and the kitchen girl, I found a lot of joke to both of them.

There were times when I felt sorry for the child because no one but her friend cared for him, and all the misunderstandings she indirectly created were excused and I honestly did not understand what the girl's problem was about the kid.
I feel this would be a gret mini drama or a two episodes drama.

The music was good.

I do not advise to see and I will not see this again.

I've had great expectations in this live-action, especially since I read manga and saw the anime. So overall I this disappointed me a bit.

The story goes on very quickly and some important parts are not really shown, especially in the life of Arima Kosei, her relationship with the mother who here is only a light spot, while in the manga she has much influence in the recent life of Arima. Kaori had much more influence on Arima's life in the presente, much more than is shown here, just like the other contestants in piano competitions.

However an excellent point will be the song, which is the main basis of the whole movie and that really was emotional, especially when they play along. And the one at the end managed to wring away my tears.

Good acting from all of them, Yamazaki Kento was good on this too * I think he can do everything* Was good to see him in a different role.

Summarizing: I think if you dind't see the anime or have read the manga will enjoy live-action, if you do I think you will feel that are missing important parts.
