The movie is great no doubt but it feels a bit rushed. It leaves the feeling that something is missing. I like how the Ohoku is described and how our main hero seems to distinguish himself from the others and yet..I feel some elements are missing, it's like a story constructed on main ideas that are not fully developed.

I expected too much from this movie. Actually it\'\'s all about conning. Life is unfair and without knowing you have to do everything you can to survive, calculating every step.
The idea is interesting and the action will capture you. Even the unfairness of it all is at one point unbelievable but foreseeable. And yet you\'\'ll find yourself rooting for him, hopping he\'\'ll win in the end.

I like how this drama unfolded. At the beginning the action was a little slow and repetitive. No real connection between the characters. Then it becomes interesting. The characters change place and the story gradually advances to a climax.



Also the romance part got me. I was so caught in it that I was smiling/suffering alongside the characters.



As a conclusion..watch the series! It's really good.

I'm sure you'll like it.

This series is like art described in 4 stories in which Aoi Yu plays the main role. At the end and the beginning of each episode we are given details about the main ideas, inspiration and the director's thoughts.



The theme is lie and it can take on many shades. I'll have to say that everyone should pay more attention to the elements of the story and not the story itself.



As a whole it's presented as a contest between directors to make an ultimate masterpiece that will surpass the others. Can such a thing be made? I say it overwhelmed me. I feel that I couldn't well grasp the meaning of the stories so I remain staring as at a painting of Picasso saying that I didn't like it but the reason is more in the lines of " I don't have the capability of understanding it"

I liked it how it started then it all transformed into a soap opera. For me the show had a lot of potential but at the story continues from bad it becomes worse. I have to add that in general I don't have much expectations from Taiwanese series(the acting is usually horrid and the story undeveloped) and yet this series captured me in the first episodes. It was rather a shock. Other than that too many episodes and cliché.

This movie is so disappointing that I have no words to describe it. The whole story lacks support. The acting is awful but I don't blame the actors..I'm sure it's the script. For the one that wrote this : even children can come with something better! I've completely wasted my time watching this.

This was better than I expected, It got me hooked from the first minutes. I loved Nagase Tomoya in this one - it\''s maybe his greatest series - but I\''ll have to add that other than him Kubozuka Yosuke did a great job as King.

What should I say more?! This series can be categorized as one of the best, a must see, as it combines the street factor with all the violence, gangs and raw characters with detective work and funny moments. For me this is the recipe to success.

I expected something better so I'm a little disappointed after watching the tanpatsu. All I have to say is that other that exclaiming for the millionth time that Koike Teppei is cute and that Becky has beautiful eyes at least I can appreciate the fact that they tried their best. But the fact is that it could've been better. It had it's funny/dramatic scenes but other than that it was weak.

I really enjoyed this series. It also has only 6 episodes so it's a series to finish in one go. I just grew to love the main actor and the character he plays. He's doing such a wonderful job at it too. What can I say more?! Just watch it!

This series had such an psychological impact on me, it left me speechless at how much circumstances can change the life of people. I was never a fan of material things but after watching it I understood something important : people are capable of many things! The reality is much worse, ambition rules the world and if you enter the circle there is no way out.

The story of this KBS special is not that bad - it's not new either - but what is truly bad is the script. I keep saying that some series should get better writers. Anyway..it's bearable. Watch this if you have nothing else to watch and you're a fan of the actors.

Comparing the live-action to the anime is pointless. The anime is of course better and more detailed. Sure, they kept the main characters and ideas and yet the supporting ones added more suspense. Still it's not awful either..So I have to add that I personally enjoyed it.

It\'\'s such an amusing movie I couldn\'\'t take anything seriously about it. Even the battle scenes were drawn in such a way that you\'\'ll most likely laugh at the silliness of it all. Should I say more? If you\'\'re looking for a serious historical movie than this is not for you.

A good movie. What should I say more..there are several more series about dancing contests and the world it involves. I expected a little divine punishment at the ending but it never came. That was my only wish. I\'\'m not into emotional stuff so I can\'\'t say it really got me, but I loved the dancing.

Well, this one's new. Let's play a simulation game of how to manage a farm. Choose your player. In this game you'll learn the basics of how to milk a cow, give food to animals and even be a veterinarian. Yay! You thought Tamagochi was fun?! Wait till you play this one. :)) And no..I'm not promoting any game or something like that, I was being a little sarcastic about the series. Sarcasm never hurt, right?!

Now..on with the review.

Whoever said that Toda Erica was a good actress must watch this series . :)) No, really now, watch it. You'll learn many useful things(or maybe not). And I actually thought she was decent in Liar Game and Code Blue.

Even from the beginning I couldn't take the series seriously. You have a bunch of guys with different characters sent together on the road to maturity. They'll learn all about responsibility, friendship and love. Oh, how fun. Too bad that there are so many series about the same subject. Wait, I don't remember any as a step by step guide to farming so I'll give points to that.

I don't have much things to say about the series. As I told you before, the story is about growing up psychologically speaking. The cast is doing it's best but it's formed mainly from second lead actors and it doesn't capture the interest. The music..one song Green Days by Makihara Noriyuki was nice. Just nice. Were there others songs ? Can't really remember.

Would I rewatch this ? Definitively..not! Even for rainy days I can find better series.
