This drama is pure fun and inspiration which tackles the value of family, money and friendship. It's pure comedy that touches the heart at the same time. The bond of family and friendship is highlighted in the drama. Tabe Mikako who acts as the main girl lead is really good with comedy and of course Ninomiya Kazunari's acting is superb and Sho Sakurai's acting is good enough here. The music fits the drama and it will bring you 'Happiness'. It's a light comedy heartwarming drama that I will definitely recommend if you want to laugh, shed a tear and be inspired. It's more like a family/friendship drama that I could re-watch again. I also recommend it for Arashi fans like me because two of its members are here so it's a must watch! :)

Cute fashionable funny detective drama thanks to Tabe Mikako. She suits comedy best and she showcased her comedic skills yet again in this drama 'cause I have seen her other dramas which she showcased her comedic skills like Yamada Taro. I love the concept of the drama which includes fashion in which she has lolita style making the drama much more colorful while it's all about solving cases/crimes. It's not your typical detective drama because it's fun. Tabe Mikako's character has the ability to solve cases because of her keen smell just like a dog which is a good twist or addition to the story because it made her stand out from the other detectives. I enjoyed the drama and I might re-watch it again. The acting of other artists are fine even Tegoshi. Music also suits the drama which makes the drama livelier.

A perfect example of 'The end does not justify the means' but I do commend the acting of Ninomiya Kazunari's character here because it made me sympathize with his character. He really do act with his eyes. I find the story realistic enough that people could relate to because it could happen in real life. It gives you a slice of life and something to reflect to. Music is good enough and I might re-watch it again though not a priority. If you want a drama that's different enough but at the same time will make you look into life into another perspective then I do recommend this one.

Another sports drama but surprisingly it focused more on the dreams/romance part than playing the sport. It's not that of a great story for me even the acting though there's chemistry between Keiko and Yamapi. They look good together but the story could've been better. The music was just average. Story could be inspiring and more focused on pursuing dreams so it's also inspirational. I recommend this to Yamapi and Keiko fans. It's not my priority for re-watch but generally it's an average drama you can watch if you want a sports-themed/romance/inspirational drama in one.

May not be the first adaptation of the drama but certainly the most faithful to the original plot. I was able to watch the other drama adaptations but of course if you really want to stick with the original plot I'd say go for this japanese drama adaptation. It stays true on the original story and the actors were able to portray their characters well. As expected Jun Matsumoto and Inoue Mao were perfectly cast for their roles and they did justice to the character as well as the other actors. I love the music of the drama aside from I'm biased of Arashi music, it fits the drama well. I could definitely re-watch it again since it's not that long and it's story never gets old. One of the classic dramas you need to try to watch out for.

I find the plot interesting maybe because I'm interested on the lives of idols. I thought the drama was quite entertaining so I decided to watch it and my expectation didn't fail 'cause I was able to enjoy the drama as a whole. The drama gives you a glimpse of what happens in an idols' life. I find it entertaining though there's not much chemistry between the main characters. I suggest you watch it if you are a fan of Ryo Nishikido or Kanjani8. I might re-watch it again if I feel like it. It gives you more information/idea about an idol's career...and that's to create dreams. It's not easy to be an idol. If you want to watch something that can keep in touch with reality which is all about an idol's life and at the same time entertain I suggest this drama.

I love this movie eventhough I haven't read the manga and it's definitely a living testament that PART 2's are not always bad. I loved the first one and definitely love this one. The actors were definitely great.I actually prefer this PART 2 than the PART 1. I always adore Ninomiya Kazunari's acting and this movie is no exception. I love their tandem: Nino and Kenichi though I don't pretty much like Kenichi's role here. I can see a great chemistry between Nino's character and Yuriko Yoshitaka's role. I love the soundtrack because it really fits every scene in the movie, the heartthrobbing scenes and the action fight scenes. The story could be quite confusing at first but as you try watching it you'll be able to understand the flow.It's definitely worth watching if you prefer action. The ending is a must watch.

I'm not really into sports nor basketball but because of the actors I decided to give this drama a try and I'm glad I did. I find it entertaining and it's not that serious which is my taste. Yeah, acting is exaggerated but worked well enough as a whole. I appreciated Show Luo and Jerry Yan's acting here. I'm not really into the love pairings because I don't find any chemistry between the love pairs in the series but anyway this drama is certainly worth a shot if you like a sporty and funny entertaining theme. I was able to appreciate basketball while watching this series.
