First off I want to say this is my favorite live action Japanese movie I have ever seen. There are so many feels in this and I cried. I hardly ever cry in movies.

Story- The story was amazing. Well, I started on the anime, which is amazing as well. Then, I found out about the movie watched it. I am in love with this story line. Yes, I know it's a sappy love story about high school kids, but the things that go on in their lives make it less sappy to me. After I finished this I couldn't find part 2 so I read the manga, so I could find out how it ended. I will say the writer of the movie and anime both literally just took every thing from the manga and made the pictures move and the drawings become people. That almost NEVER happens when book are turned into t.v. shows or movies in the States.

Acting- I love all of the actors and actresses in this. They all did such a good job in making all of this believable.

Music- There aren't really any songs that stand out to me. So it's just kind of meh. At least they didn't play a happy song when they were trying to be serious or anything. That has happened in dramas I've watched.

Rewatch- YES!!! I cannot express that enough.

Overall- This may actually rank in my favorite movies of all time. That's kind of impressive.

Story- It was a little confusing in the beginning, but it explained things quickly. In some ways it reminded me a little of Glee with musical theme. I thought the execution of the plot was done well.

Casting- I loved all of the cast members. I also had a huge crush on CN Blue's drummer by the end. His character is just adorable. I don't think any of them really hindered the development of the plot.

Music- The music was very good. I considered buying the soundtrack after I finished it, but I didn't. If the music had sucked in this drama, the drama would have failed since that's the main focus.

Rewatch- I might eventually rewatch this, but not right now. There are just too many dramas I haven't watched yet. :)

Overall I thought this was a good music related drama.

This was the longest drama I have ever watched, but every episode kept me entertained. The main couple is one of my favorite couple out of the dramas that I watched. It kind of has a Playful Kiss feel about it somehow to me. I think it's the fact that there aren't any super vindictive characters in it. Most the dramas I have watched either have an evil relative or just an evil character in the drama and sometimes there's both. The story is ok, but you have to kind of buy into the whole cancer thing. Personally, I don't really go for the dramas that have cancer in them, but it kind of works for this drama. The whole drama is super mushy and lovey dovey. There are no knife/ gun fights. The music is some of my favorite music from a drama. I've caught myself humming it. There's one song that remind me of Ra Ra Riot's Can You Tell as far as sound goes. I have no clue what they are really saying. I'm watching this for the second time so yes it's worth it, although I'm probably going to end up skipping some parts.

One more thing, I would suggest watching this drama on Viki, and not Dramafever because Dramafever cut some scenes out of it. I checked the other day because I thought there wouldn't be a difference, but there is.

I thought the two main characters were too self-centered, and their acting was just ok. I felt like they took too many ideas from Innocent Man and did not execute them well. I loved the locations. Honestly, the only thing that kept me watching was Kim Bum and Jung Eun Ji's characters. I thought the music was the best part of this show. Would I buy it? Probably not, but I thought it was a pretty good for the drama. The ending was weak. To me it felt like they were just like crap have to end it somehow ok yep that looks good, but it wasn't good. I think I just expected too much out of this drama. I will not be watching this drama again, needless to say.
