And then I watched it.
Story:
For me, the story is not too stunning, it's all about high school student story, but the strong point for me is the comical effects! Geez, that's really increase my evaluation because I can laugh from the very first episode to the very last minutes of the last episode.
Acting/Cast :
All the casts are new for me back then, but in my opinion Nishiuchi Mariya's acting is the most outstanding one. Not many people fit with comical expression, but she did great and the expression fit her well too ^o^

Well, at first me and my best friend watch this movie because one of our coworker show us the trailer and we’re so excited because we saw Yamapi in monk clothes hahaha.. ^o^ While we watch it, we realize that there’s Hayami Mokomichi in that movie, and the heavy fangirling begins. Never in my entire life I saw a monk as handsome as Yamapi! LOL
It’s such a good movie. Really. Not just because the actor is Yamapi.. :p I’m very grateful that the scene and plot on the movie is totally different from the manga (I can’t accept if Yamapi being treated like that -__-). The movie’s story is more logical and humane than the manga.
Acting/Cast:
We don't have to questioned and debated Yamapi and Mokomichi's acting, their acting was tested in so many series and movie. But this is the first time I saw Ishihara Satomi and in my opinion her acting is so natural and dazzling <3

Story :It’s such a good drama. Really. Not just because the actor is Kimura Takuya who I adore the most in my teenage day. LOL. It talks about the traumatic in the brain which caused Ieji lost his memory and saw his present wife and son in a mask. I don't know if that possible in a real world or not, but the idea is interesting enough for me. Well, the lack of detail for me is just that they don’t really explain why Ieji saw a mask on his wife and son face (even the silliest explanation). I know it's the side effect of the accident, but why mask? Why not something else? But after all, it’s good movie ^_^
Acting/Cast :
Kimura Takuya acting is not something for debated or questioned, he can be anyone he told to be ^_^ As for Ueto Aya, I can't clearly seen her acting in this drama because most of the time she wore a mask.. ^_^;

I don't know what should I say about this drama except that I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! <3 <3 <3
So fresh and cute, heartwarming and adorable at the same time. The theme and conflict is so youth-y and often faced when you're on your youth age.
In this drama, the teenager face their problems and solve it with their adolescence mind and way. They fall, they hurt, they cry, but they rise again. And during that process they're stick together as a bestfriend.
There's an unexpected plot in the story, but it makes the drama more complicated than just a youth drama.
For the romance part, I love how Du Ya Xiu always try to protect Xu Yong Xin and I love how he get jealous ^_~

I think I’ve watched all the Meteor Garden version, from Taiwanese Meteor Garden at 2001, Japanese Hana Yori Dango and Korean Boys Over Flower. For me, this Chinese Meteor Garden 2018 is the best version. Not only the F4 casts are stunning (fangirling mode ON), but the plot and the content is the best too.First, the bullying still make sense, there’s no exaggerated bullying from F4, they’re challenge the Joker Card receiver with poker game, no bullying from the entire school.
Second, Daoming Si told to be the clever student. That’s more reasonable since he’s the heir of the clan.
Third, there’s a story part for Meizuo too. The story not only focused on Daoming Si, Shan Cai and Huaze Lei, but the rest of F4 get the story too.
Fourth, even the plot still similar, but the dramatic part feels more real and that makes the pain feel real too. I don’t know for the rest of you, but for me the male and female lead really get the chemistry. They act so naturally. Maybe because of that the entire scene really get the feeling.
Me, for sure, will be watch this movie again someday <3 <3 <3

To be honest, I feel like I'm wasting my time watching this series (-__-)First of all, I actually love the idea even though the idea somehow similar with Meteor Garden. I also impressed by the plotting that both of the hero and heroine are a smart student. The heroine also have the nerve to face all the difficulties and bullying.
But what I love about the series stop at that point. The minus points are :
1. It feels no chemistry between the hero and heroine. I know that they are plotted to be enemies, but they even didn't have a chemistry of being enemies, especially for the hero (sorry).
2. Details and plot shifting are bad! I often check my previous and current episode just to make sure I didn't miss any episode. They sometimes referring a terms or scene which never showed and that's quite annoying.
3. Meng Xiao Nan role is annoying for me, it feels like she take the role excessively, too much whining and pouting (-__-)
4. The dubbing makes the feeling of the conversation being a little bit off. I don't know if they being dubbed by other people or by the casts itself, but the quality of the dubbing (sound frequency etc.) is not that good.

Fresh and cute ^_^ I love when Lin Lin really did a study before Yu Ku's light is off. If that's me, I will read mangas. LOL. She's so natural in a natural way, meanwhile Yu Ke's stoic attitude is kinda cute too, especially when Lin Lin ask which comes out first, chicken or egg. LOL. It also warmed your heart when Yu Ke face his biggest fear to help Lin Lin ^_^I love the story idea and so the conflict, but I think it will be better if they show more conflict with Duan Xi, not only with Ru Ting. The other thing I love about the movie is the song. I am a bit surprised when I hear 'I Won't Let You be Lonely' (Wo Bu Yuan Rang Ni Yi Ge Ren) by Mayday. I am a little bit lost focus to the scene when this song playing ^o^;

Fresh! That's my first thought when I start to watch this series. This series is quite mild, but the development of everyone's personality and feelings are clearly visible here. One thing I like the most here is the friendship. This series does not recognize the phrase "love will destroy the friendship". They still support each other even though the person they like likes someone else. And I really love how that friendship continues to develop until they are grow up.
Sometimes I feel exasperated by Chen Xiao Xi's childish attitude, but well, maybe when I was in school I did the same thing. LOL. And I really love to see when Jiang Chen feels jealous seeing Chen Xiao Xi and Wu Bo Song's closeness ^_^
Acting/Cast :
They all did great and so natural, but I especially love Shen Yue acting. She's so cute I can't help it but to adore her ^_^
Music :
The opening and ending song are so easy listening, and I put them both on my Spotify playlist now ^_^
Rewatch Value :
I definitely will watch this series again if I need some cuteness in my life.

The background, the conflict even the reveal of each secrets is really superb! I love the slightly plot twisting in this series, but really I dislike the ending T^T
Acting/Cast :
You don't have to ask me this, Ikuta Toma, Oguri Shun and Ueno Juri in one frame? It's like heaven on earth! Their acting are superb, dazzling and badass at the same time.
Music:
Honestly I forgot about the detail of the music, what I remember is the music really fit the series.
Rewatch Value:
Definitely will rewatch this to find any detail I might be missing in the first place because I'm too busy to fangirling. LOL.

To be honest, I dislike the conflict like which occur in this movie. And I dislike more the solution made by Toma. But then, the ending erase all the dislike and it’s warmed my heart ^_^
Despite the pace and the conflict, the casts' act were superb, so I was somewhat entertained watching it. Oh! And the soundtrack is nice too! ^_^

The theme choose is quite dark, which more or less show the negative effect of the wrong parenthood and so the parent’s ego. By the time you think that you are brought to the solution of the problem, you realize that you have been brought to an even greater secret. Another time, when you think you already know all the secrets and problems, the plot suddenly twisted and you will question your own judgment of good and bad.
The casts play their roles very well, especially Ohno Satoshi where he can play two very different personalities and expressions very well. Ikuta Toma plays well playing someone who has regrets about his past and is still haunted by it.
Last but not least … really, I hate the ending … T_T

The story is really interesting, which there’s a lot of secret and conspiracy. Although I’m not too fond of political topics, but since this drama consist of a lot of combat scene, I keep watching until the end and I didn’t regret it ^_^
The casts are great, but in my opinion Ayano Go is superb ^_~ His cold and serious expression fit him best. Mukai Osamu indeed a male lead, but somehow I feel his existence and spark less than Ayano Go. LOL.
But overall, this is a great drama and worth to watch ^_~

This movie is absurd for the first 1 hour (Yes, I know it's quite a long duration for absurdness), the connection between scenes is weak and that makes the story feels like get around without direction. Some dirty jokes about boobs are included in this movie, but I think it's not a big concern.
Once again I remind you that the absurdness only for the first hour. After they're grow up, the story start to be systematic and have better arrangement. They have the clear conflict and clear settlement. And I really enjoy the last 30 minutes ^_^

Korean is not really my cup of tea, so I didn’t watch it much. But, thriller is my cup of tea genre, so when one of my friend recommend this k-drama to me, I’m willing to watch it. I watched this on 2016, BTW :D
The plot is beyond my imagination, which I like it because it’s anti-mainstream. I love when the movie / drama contains any psychological issues and this drama provides a lot of it. Not only that, this drama have a twist plot which makes it even more better for my taste ^_~
Now for the casts. I enjoyed the interaction between the hero and the heroine. At the first I didn’t feel so much chemistry between them, but as time goes by their chemistry built and I feel pleased with that ^_^
