STYLE OVER SUBSTANCE WITH TOO MUCH SEXUAL CONNOTATIONS This is one of those really bad dramas that tries to get you to watch it by sexual imageries. For instance Yuko is all about revealing her cleavage and her thighs. And I seriously thought they were filming the beginnings of a porno when the main protagonist got captured by that spider lady. Aside from the sexual imageries, it is very visually pleasing, but not much else. In terms of acting, I thought Yuko and the priest boy did outstanding jobs in their roles, and also Yuko's female kid helpers/servants were pretty cute. The other cast members were bad or overacted. I always thought the highschool girl was just using the main protagonist, and he seemed like a wimp to obsess over such a type. I'm actually glad Anne ended up marrying the priest boy in real life. She has good taste b/c they both put up the best performances in the drama. Also, IMO the Rain Goddess was the third interesting character (beside Yuko and the priest boy). But, they chose the wrong actress for her part. I found her acting a little annoying, and her portrayal of this "Rain Goddess" almost ruined this intriguing character for me.
