The characters were great, had their own stories and their chemistry was good.
The acting was really good, too and felt very real. The scenery and costumes didn't look fake, either.
The music was fitting, traditional and dramatic. Ichi's singing was wonderful.
I recommend you to watch this. :)

The story itself wasn't new and most of the characters were a little stereotypical, too, but somehow it was still different.
I liked how people were somehow related to eachother through tiny memories they couldn't even remember, things nobody thinks about after so many years. I loved how the world was turned upside down for a character and the story followed a clear path, a clear timeline and had a steady pace. It hardly ever dragged, but it never rushed either.
The acting was incredible. All the actors did a great job, but of course Lee Yo Won needs to be mentioned seperately - She played 3 roles in this with about 335345 personalities and so many emotional and blank scenes that I was completely amazed by her. She seemed completely in character, no matter which one she played.
The music was wonderful, too. I actually noticed it and really enjoyed it. From Ji Hyun's singing to her parents' CD to the Scheduler's ringtones - Everything just fit perfectly.
Though many people seemed to hate it I thought the ending was perfect and the only fitting one. Everything else would've been unrealistic (I know. This is fantasy.) and maybe perfect at the first sight, but I wouldn't have been satisfied afterwards. I loved it as it was, except one little storyline. But that wasn't important and I cried a lot.
Enough praising, just watch it. :P

So basically I loved everything about it - The story, the characters, the acting, the ending.
The only thing that annoyed me a little were Shinya's hair and really, that wasn't tragic. ;)
I loved how it switched between friendship and love and how important the relationships between the characters were. I loved Shinya's narrating, too (he does have a great voice) and the overall dreamy feeling this movie had.
I'm surprised it's not popular. Go watch it.

Without spoiling anything I can't say much about it, but you should watch it and be surprised. :)

The music was lovely and fitting, the stories were marged together and every character had their own story so you could feel with them.
The relationships were sad and beautiful, the actions realistic.
Some things could have been clearer, especially the ending. But overall it was perfect for this movie.
There were some things I didn't like, though. Most of all how they portrayed a gay relationship as something horrible, but I guess that is how people would react.
I would have wished for a happier ending, but I really loved it anyway.

The characters were flat and without development, their relationships were random and of what use where the supporting characters?
It's something you watch, think it's cute and never want to watch again. Especially after the ending - What kind of an ending is that?
At least the music was good, though. It's not something I don't recommend trying, because there may be people who like it and it's okay for watching when you're bored and don't want to use your brain, but that's all. ;)

The cases were great and so many details were planned to make them solve the locked room mysteries. Often the suspects were obvious, but the way they realized it wasn't.
The music was good, it matched the drama perfectly.
The acting was good, too. There weren't many dramatical or tearful / painful scenes to play, but everyone stayed in character and did a good job.
The story itself was okay. I was more fond of the characters because there wasn't much development in the story, it pretty much stayed the same.
I was completely disappointed by the ending, but it's not going to change my score. I'm hoping for a sequel or special now, though I think it's unlikely.
You should try this drama anyway and give it a chance. ;)

The actors did a nice job, their pain always looked real. Also the scars and wounds were really well done.
The music (especially the ending song) was nice.
It's not a breathtaking movie, but it's a great one and I think everyone should try it. :)

At first I thought it was just cheesy, unrealistic, trying to be funny and failing. Then I kind of grew a little fond of the characters because some of them were really lovable and cute.
I decided to go on watching and thankfully the cheesiness subsided after a few episodes.
I liked how it was all about friendship, trying to achieve one's goals, finding solutions to problems together and fighting as a team.
Well, the main point was still love - That's what annoyed me most to be honest. Out of 10 studens and one adult, they managed to create 6 couples - Not to speak of the supporting characters who found their love. Unbelievable..
The music was okay, I liked the dance performace they did at the Cultural Festival, too.
Also they handled the homosexual parts (both between the girls and boys) carefully, so that made many things up for me.
I don't really know what to write about this drama, everyone needs to try it for theirselves. ;)

The acting was good, the actors seemed really into their roles and I found nothing off.
The music was nice and fit the movie, I actually remember it which is rare.
Overall I found the movie pretty boring, but that may be because it was in school. It drags a little but has interesting and even funny scenes, too. At least my classmates were laughing at times..
It definitely has sad scenes, though. Some things are hard to understand, but I felt with the characters, pitied them somewhat and some things were a little disturbing, too.
If you want to understand buddhism better, this is a movie for you. Otherwise it's not something I'd recommend to watch "just for fun". :)

As for the story, of course it is totally extreme, vulgar and shocking, but it was acted out incredibly good, without making fun of any of the really serious subjects and without being laughable.
The characters were thoroughly thought about and there were no stereotypes. There were no "good" and "bad" characters, either.
Of course the acting was great. You must be a great actor to pull off extreme scenes like there were so many in this movie. It must have been really, really hard.
I would recommend everyone who's old enough (well as said before, it IS kind of extreme) to watch this. It is definitely worth it and a masterpiece.

I really liked how different this drama is. It's nothing like I expected and the ending was surprising, I changed my viewpoint every episode and didn't even know how I wanted it to end.
Of course it gets a 10 for the music. The ABBA songs fit perfectly on the one side and on the other side they seemed totally off. It's something you will definitely remember, though and I loved it.
This is a really emotional drama without much action, but lots and lots of love.
Let yourself be surprised and watch it, it's worth a try. :)

The acting was really great and it looked natural and believable. The characters were likeable and realistic, at least most of them.
There were some things that I couldn't agree with (for example what Onizuka's police officer-friend was doing all the time), but they didn't matter that much.
I like how the story was going slowly, but the character development was really fast and how beautifully the friendship and relationship between Onizuka, the students and Fuyutsuki was portrayed.
I also liked that all the characters had their own background story so you could feel with them.
I agree with this being a must-see. You hardly notice that it's an old drama and when you occasionally DO notice it's pretty funny. ;)

It is all about friendship and passing obstacles to fulfill one's dreams.
I think the acting was really good and I can't say much about the table tennis parts, but it looked quite well-done, too. The music was there, but not really that important.
Not only the main, but also the supporting characters were really likeable and well played.
You could call this a slow movie, but it's good nonetheless and full of emotions. :)
(By the way: Watch it and see what difference a hair cut can make to a person. It's amazing.)

First I was a little surprised because after reading the summary I was expecting a completely different drama. I never watched a Science Fiction Drama before and I was skeptical. Also it seemed so unrealistic that I was wondering if it would be okay.
Still even after only a few minutes I grew so fond of the characters that I continued watching. The story wasn't as important anymore, because I was just cheering for the characters to be strong and hang on.
The main couple had an amazing chemistry and they were really, really cute. But still I liked that the romance wasn't the main point.
I also liked how important the bonds between the characters and their friendship was portrayed. It was lovely and cute.
I was a little disappointed by the ending, but I guess you can't help that with a story like that.
Still I personally rated it a 10 because I couldn't stop watching once I started and that's a rare thing.
I'm recommending this to everyone, even if they don't like science fiction or if the summary doesn't sound appealing. At least give it a try. :)
