I'm no Jdrama expert but I've been getting into it in depth lately and I've found that most Japanese dramas seem like something else when one reads the synopsis, but is so much more than that when one actually watches it, and there lies its charm.
Won't deny I went into the drama reading the synopsis and it just sounded pure fun! Four guys find out that they're the only virgins left in their entire school, bound to be pure comedy right? But while it has a lot of funny moments, it does have it's fair share of teaching moments, sad moments, some frustrating moments and moments which give you joy.

The acting was pretty good in this. I knew three out of the four main actors in this production, having seen oguri shun in 'hana yori dango', yamapi in sensei(where he's much older than he was in this drama!") And knew Nino as the member of Arashi who was in the amazing movie "letters from Iwo Jima". I hadn't seen narimiya hiroki before but he's gorgeous (especially his smile) and I think he did a great job being the goofy guy. The actress, Suzuki Anne is adorable, and I heard some people say that her acting was boring and such, but I think she fit the role pretty well. The rest of the cast, specially the 'elders' did a great job and had me laughing always. Kenken's mom for president!!!! ????????????

The story is realllyyyy good. It's simple and yet gets the work done, in the sense that, it succeeds at telling a meaningful story. Never a dull moment, even if there were, the cast made up for it. I don't think I'll rewatch it immediately ,but for sure, I'll rewatch it some years later and it will be as good as ever! To think that this drama was out almost 15 years ago!!! It's great to see how far the cast members have come and developed as actors and entertainers.

Anyways I loved the drama and thoroughly enjoyed it. I recommend it to anyone looking for a great funny, yet meaningful drama.
