Story: 6/10 because the main plot was very slow to the point of frustration!! I was actually liking the 2nd leads' (Worranit & Sarasathapheng) story better because it was going along & they were so cute together. Then both stories because slow out of frustration. But it got better once they get to the core to each story. There was a twist in the main couple(Jirakit & Wiraporn) story that I found interesting. Can't tell without spoiling so I won't. If the main story was a little faster, then the story would score higher. But despite the slowness of story line, it was very cute & still came back for more.
Acting: 7/10 because it was the best thing about the drama was the acting. It was nothing groundbreaking but it was enough to like them. Worranit played Sanrak as a native woman who is too forgiving. It's a good trait to have, but it got to the point it got annoying, but liking her in the second half of her story. Wiraporn played Sandee a woman who due to circumstances has decided to keep a secret & not tell anyone. But it took so long that I screamed at the poor innocent screen. The people in the drama that I liked most were Na(Sarasathapheng), the brother of Sandee & Sanrak(Korawit) & Jane(unknown actress name) & couple of Sandee's friends. Jirakit played Thada pretty good, but nothing groundbreaking. His character worked harder than anyone else. He tried to make everyone work. The family chemistry was the best part of the drama.
Music: 6/10 because the theme song was good, but it droned me out after a while. There was a couple of other songs & I don't really remember.
Re-watch value: 5/10 because it was a roller coaster of a story, but not a good way to me. If you like it, then that's your opinion.
Overall, you should watch it if you want to see the actors/actresses, rom-com dramas & want to watch something cute, then you should watch it. But be cautiously excited to watch it.

Story: 8/10 because it is actually pretty cliche, but the way the cliches were handled were so refreshing that it didn't feel cliched at all. The only part of the story that I didn't like is that the seconds leads were only one dimensional characters. I wished that they developed them a little bit more.
Acting: 10/10 because everyone brought their character to life. I felt that Hye Soo, Ji Hoon & Eun Sung were a real family to a point, that sometimes, I had to look away for a bit because they were having the time of their lives & felt like I was looking in on them. I give props to the actors and actresses in the drama. Especially Uee(Hye Soo) because this is the first time that she gave it all to her character and it showed in her acting. I seen her in a few projects and she was good, but I think this is her breakout role in her career. I laughed, smiled and cried with her. I felt the same was with Lee Seo Jin(Ji Hoon). I was seeing that he truly starting to fall for Hye Soo & Eun Sung. Ji Hoon's father was just evil!!!! I'm glad he got the ending he got. The second leads weren't written very much in the drama, so I couldn't really sympathy for their situation because of how undeveloped they were. I really hated Jung Hoon because he was very immature; at the same time, I understand why he acted the way he did. There was amazing family chemistry between the main leads. The chemistry between the leads felt realistic. It builds up as you continue watching it.
Music: 9/10 because it really fit the scenes very well. I would get a couple of the songs from the soundtrack & listen to it.
Re-watch Value: 7/10 because there were moments where I cried a river even though there were lots of humor & light hearted moments. Bring tissues just in case.
Overall, I really loved this drama. If you are hesitant to watch the drama, then bring tissues with you just in case. There are moments where you get some laughs & smiles on your face. Have fun watching(if you are)!!

Story 10/10: because this was my first war movie made in Thailand. The story was well-written & I wanted to know was what another country like during that time. I only seen it in Korea, Japan, Russia & American's point of view in Asian movies & movies in general. I wanted to see it in a different point-of-view.
Acting 10/10. The actors were amazing, especially the leads. I cried with them & smiled a little when there were happy moments. The acting was the best part of this movie & I hope to see the leads in a different drama or movie soon.(I'm trying to watch Thai dramas & movies)
Music 9/10: The set the tone of the movie & the BGMs were memorable.
Re-watch value 6.5/10: There were a lot of sad moments in this movie & some of the scenes were hard to watch becuase I was crying so hard.
Overall, I definitely recommend this movie to anyone who likes Thai movies, the actors, romance, drama and/or war movies/dramas.

Story 8.5/10: Most of the drama was great. But near the end, was kind of unnecessary, but it was still good for the acting & conflict.
Acting 9/10: The acting was great. They all have comedic timing in this & laughed-out-loud so hard on some moments, especially Si Won's moments. I started to like the main leads, because I haven't seen the male lead in anything & I have seen the female lead in My name is Kim Sam Soon & I think she's a great actress. Si Won was amazing in this drama! That's all I have to say without spoiling it.
music 8/10: The music fitted the scenes well. The BGMs were memorable, some songs were not.
I would re-watch this drama if I want a really want to laugh out loud. 8/10
Overall, I recommend this drama if you like comedies & the actors & actresses.

Story: 9/10 because it's something we know & love. I love cohabitation dramas/movies. It's different, but I still loved it anyway. I wished it was a drama instead.
Acting: 9/10: I thought the acting was great. I love the lead actress. I thought she was natural in this movie. I haven't seen the lead actor in a lead role & I haven't seen much of his other works. But I thought he great. I think they were great in the second half of the movie.
music 7/10: The music wasn't memorable, but it was cute.
rewatch value: 8.5/10: I would re-watch this because it's so cute & innocent love story. It put a smile on my face.
Overall, I recommend the movie if you have read the manga or if you are new to the plot. I think you should watch this if you are trying to watch a Japanese movie. I think you should watch this if you are also new to Japanese romantic-comedies.

The storyline is not really told often, but it's pretty good. It's like a what if this actually happens in real life? What would we do in a situation like this? It makes you think & sympathize the characters that were going through. Also you'll want to cheer on the leads to win & you would get to know some of the characters for they were before the game. Also they try to find out who's friend & who's foe. Are they your true friends, or would they kill each other to save themselves? It's one of those movies where you think about a lot of things that the characters go through.
The acting is great. You get symathize with some of the people. It had a lot of emotion & suspense. I was scared who was next & who would push whom's buttons.
The music sets the tone of the story, but it's not something I would listen to over and over.
I won't re-watch this movie becuase I don't usually watch horror or action with gore usually. Even though I like this movie, I wouldn't watch this for a 2nd time.
Overall, I recommend it if you like action, gore(there are some), students fighting for survival, older movies, the actors/actresses or if you like the director of the movie(I think it's on this site if you look up the movie). There a tiny bit of romance, but it's vague & it's not important at all.

The plot was what got me into this drama in the first place. It was really slow in the beginning, but it improved as the episodes went by, but it got draggy. I was just screaming at my screen for to have the female & male lead to have some peace. Nobody was leaving them alone. There were some unnecessary sub-plots that it got boring. But I stayed because I wanted to see the leads together after all the obstacles they had to go through.
I thought the female lead didn't have a back bone at first, but she was able to get free of that & I am happy that she got the freedom she deserved in her life. I loved the male lead most of the way through. There were a few moments where I wanted to slap him(at least one point the beginning & the middle). I hated the scend lead & his mother so much that I wanted to go into the screen & kill them myself. That's how much I hated them. I haven't hated a mother figure since Shining Inheritance & Stars Falling from the Sky. I have never full-on hated the 2nd male lead before this drama! I wanted the OTP all the way, even though they have fought, I still wanted the OTP together no matter what. I thought the leads had chemistry & it was what saved the show for me.
The ending theme was great. But other than that, it wasn't was memorable, but some suspenseful bgms fitted in the right spots of the scene.
I won't re-watch this drama ever, because it was a wild roller coaster ride that even though there were moments where I wanted to stop the ride, I couldn't because the writers were giving it to us by the loadful. The point is, it was a long, wild, emotional ride & I don't want to cry all over again because of the female lead going through just because of 2nd male lead, his mother! After I watched the last episode, I just felt so exhausted & yelled FINALLY IT FINSHED!!! But at least they got the happy ending they deserved!
Overall, recommend it to anyone who like long dramas, birth secrets cliche, the actors/actresses & melodramas.

The story line is so different from any other Korean movie I have seen. It's usually the older acteresses or actors a usually the grandpas or grandmas in the movies or dramas. But having the older generation as a lead is a breath of fresh air. Even though the older generation having an illnesses are cliche, the way it was done was refeshing as well. Instead of hanging her head down, she stil tries to go on with her life & tries to find who she is before the illness strikes her for good. This story is slow, but I couldn't stop the movie either.
The main actress stand out from anyone else is all I have to say. I liked Ahn Nae Sung's character. But the other characters either didn't really stand out or didn't like their character at all. One character was very creepy! *Cringe* Still thinking about makes me cringe some more. . .
The music was not the best attribute in the movie. I was so intrued by the acting & the story that I couldn't really pay attention to the score.
I wouldn't really re-watch this movie becuase this movie was pretty slow, even though it was good. But there were scenes that I couldn't watch at all. But if I ever re-watch this again, it for the character development of the female lead's character.
Overall, I recommend this movie to anyone who likes movies that have a slow pace, but good story. But you should still watch this is you like poetry, melodrama, & the actress.

The story was done really well. I didn't read the whole manga, but I started reading it after a couple of years starting this drama for the first time. So I can't compare the manga & I won't, Since it's this drama's turn to shine and be talked about. It dragged a tiny bit, but it didn't really affect the flow of the story.
The characters were really fleshed out to.me. Barbie Xsu & Vic Zhou had amazing chemistry. Well, they were dating at the time. I think this is Barbie Xsu best role she has gotten, I only watched a few of her works so. . yeah. She potrayed her character very well, to the point where I thought I was see her character, not the actress. I felt her emotions as I was watching her performance. It takes guts to take a role like this(watch this to find out why I say so if you haven't seen it yet). Vic Zhou was amazing as well. I think this is the 2nd best role he played. He's gotten a lot of mature roles, but this was when he was starting out with his mature role image(I think). I felt his anger, sadness, his fear and his love her Barbie's character. I couldn't stand Maghan Lai's character at all, she scared the living crap out of me sometimes in the beginning of the drama. But I'm glad that she didn't stay that way for too long. I could really care for Xie Kai's character, becuase he was overshadowed by the leads & the plot, but he also had less screen time than any of the leads in the drama.
The opening and ending themes were the best in the drama. There were a couple bgms where they set the mood, but it wasn't very memorable.
I the re-watch is low because I have watched it all the way through twice & it was so hard to watch a second time. It took me a while to actually finish this drama from beginning to end because I was so hard to watch some of the parts in the drama.
Overall, I recommmend it if you like mature themes & melodramas. Also if you want to watch how Taiwan takes on melodramas, then this drama is the start for you.

This review may contain spoilers
The was my 3rd Taiwanese drama that I ever watched & this what got me into Mike He, Raine Yang & Kigome Wang. I loved it when I first watched it.The story was your typically bad boy & nice guy with a twist. But remember, it was made in 2005, so it might of been newer in Taiwan at the time. No spoilers if you haven't seen it. Don't let the plot scare you off, because the leads have great chemisty & you should continue till the end. The plot dragged a little near the end, but this drama is still really good.
The main leads were fleshed out well & I love the male lead's friends in this drama. Love the parents, they are so cute. As I said above, the chemistry is great, the kiss scenes were great & I wanted them to date in real life.I love Mike He's character & how he turns around and becomes good! Rainie play good girl well, but there were moments where I wanted to slap her(near the end). She is pretty strong female lead when she wants to be, has spunk. I hated the 2nd female lead, but turned good as well! I liked that she didn't stay bad. I hated the female friend at first, but she turned good too! Yeah for people turning good!
Music wasn't that memorable but the opening theme was good though.
Overall, i recommend this drama if you like comedy, romance, cohabitation situations, school drama, the actors & actresses & like great chemistry from the OTP! Also remember, don't let the plot scare you off.

Story is very weird & the first episode kind of proves that, but it gets better and better as the episodes go by. But don't let the first episode or the story put you off, it's really funny, heartwarming & there are some serious issues in this drama.
The characters are so unique and different that I got to like all the boys and the main female lead's friends. There are a couple of life lessons along the way & I love the way the boys interact with not only the female lead, but also each other. I love how they all start to mature by the end of the drama. The characters are pretty fleshed out(the main ones of course).
music was okay, but not memerable. But some of the bgms are great to set the mood of the scene.
I would re-watch this when I want some laughs through out my day.
Overall, I recommend this drama to who like some or most of the cast( because it's a star cast), pranks, coming-of-age, comedy, their a little romance, eye-candy, heartfelt moments, some life lessons & some Japanese uniqueness, then you'll like this drama.

I am glad that I ended up watching this drama. There were math problems that I have never heard of before & the cases kept you interested.
The thing is I love the leads! They so opposite of each other, but they make a great team. I haven't seen the female lead in anything before, but she was great. I think I have seen the male lead before, I don't remember which movie or drama that I have seen him in, but he is a great actor as well. He is also hot. . . I had to say it. . . The only problem with the drama is that we didn't get to learn much of their background at all. They have great chemistry despite the age difference. But don't let that turn you away from watching this drama.
The music fitted in the right spots, theme is catchy, but I don't remember much since it was a long time ago when I watched this drama last year(2013).
I would re-watch this again when I have time.
Overall, I definitely recommend this drama if you like crime genre, math, comedy & cases that keep you guessing, then you will like this one.
The only complaint besides the one I mentioned above, is that it should of been longer.

It follows the original Korean Full House with some changes so it's not be a carbon copy. I think this version is so much better than the original. Even though it has more episodes than the original. It wasn't draggy at all. Even though the plot is unrealistic, it feels realistic to me. It was funny, heart-warming, sweet, & heart-wrenching. I cried a little in this drama. I felt I went on a roller coaster & felt sastified in the end of the drama journey since I started the journey about half way through the series when it was still airing. I love this drama so much is all I am saying.
The actors and actresses are great in their roles. I actually liked Min(I think that was her name) a first couple of episodes, but when she starts trying to get Mike. . . Oh boy. . . she was a big bully that interferes with everyone in her life(the nice way of putting it). I like Guy all the way through, but I love the OTP better though! I actually don't know any of the actors and actresses since this is my first true lokorn, but they did a fantastic job & made the story and their relationship realistic.
The music was okay, but there was one song that played over and over more than once in each episode & it got annoying after a while. But it was cute a first several times i heard it.
I re-watched this 2 times and I still love it. I will re-watch this drama some more too.
Overall, I definitely recommend this drama to anyone who likes the following:
Korean Full House. . .
Comedy. . . .
Romance. . .
Love Cohabitation dramas/movies. . .
Your first time watching a lokorn. . .
Or any fan of Lokorns alike.
You will not regret this drama experience because it's really good. Side note: You might need tissues, , , just in case.

The story is super cute & super funny. They balence the light-hearted moments with the scary/serious moments well. There so many funny moments.
The characters were super fun to watch including the main lead's sister(I think). The female is just insecure about relationships becuase of her situation, but she starts to grow up and opening up the male lead. They have great chemistry.
The music fitted in with the mood, but it was not something I would listen to over and over again.
I would re-watch this drama because it is that awesome.
Overall, I definitly recommend this drama if you like Master's Sun becauase it has the same feel to it. If you like romantic-comedy, ghosts and the supernatual aspect and/or the actors/actresses, then this movie is for you.

The story was the best part of the drama. It's really short, but a lot of things happened those 6 episodes. It's about finding your "voice" in the world & it's important that you should have friends that will support you no matter what happens. There are great life lessons in this drama that made me love. But it was also easy to watch.
The acting was good, but it could of been a lot better. I loved Momiji & Gouta the most. They are cute & supportive to their friends. Keito's character development was good, but it could of been better. Same with Koichi's character(it wasn't developed enough). The love story between Koichi & Keito was rushed. That's one of the reasons why I wished there were more episodes because some of the characters were either underdeveloped or wasn't enough character development.
The music was okay, but not memorable. I liked the song that was played in Keito's commerical comeback the most.
I would re-watch this for the interactions with the characters. I friendship aspect & following you dreams aspect of the drama were the best part of the drama besides the plot in general.
Overall, if you love friendship dramas & dramas that send the message "follow your dreams", then you'll like this drama. If you like the manga, then you might be disappointed.
