IKR. I was thinking to myself, "man this is SO much like an anime that forgot it was animated. " it was cute, unbelievable, funny, action packed and TOTALLY full to the brim of eye candies. LOTS. Feel good dorama if ever there was one.

I have been searching for this is at least 480p quality MAN it is SO hard to find.

the very last seconds of ode to joy he is walking on a beach. man this guy even walks like a dream. such charisma and sex appeal. HOLY COW, but he has that boyish smile that just kills girls. really powerful presence!!

happy birthday !!! woo hooo

isn't this based on a school manga? I swear it rings such a bell with me. So I looked it up and SURE enough!!
"Yūkan Club is a Japanese manga written and illustrated by Yukari Ichijo. It is serialized in Shueisha's Bessatsu Margaret. Yūkan Club received the 1986 Kodansha Manga Award for the shōjo category"

Hey!! you HAVE a GF!!! to share these things with. life is good :)
Dramas shared are awesome.

This was silly and a lot of fun.

totally agree. it was a wonderfully slice of life portrayal of several eye candies and I was crazy in love with three of her associates :) LMAO. No spoilers !!!

don't you also love how the title page is kind of faded in color then shatters when it starts? thatls a cool effect.

I used to sing that song, and the one about leaving on a jet plane back in my middle school years when it first came out. YEAH!! that DOES make me older than dirt :) LMAO

I loved your list!! I had a couple I found that I have not watched, but it was so nice to see that i was not all floundering around out there on my own. It just feels better when some one else has seen something I have seen and they also appreciated it. Drama watching can be a very solo experience. I appreciate this article and all of MDL for giving us a place to come together, share and discuss to our hearts content. THANK YOU!!!!!

This is one of my first ( not THE first) crushes in the kpop world. this young man seems so happy go lucky with a wide streak of sex appeal. very awesome person!!

It is def going on my list of seriously good dorama. It begs for a season two. I am so glad I am seeing this as a stand alone, I don't know if there is a book or anime etc. I liked this story. I loved the pairing of the main leads. The evolution of the issues was serious but not pedantic. Great watch, thought provoking, romantic, innovative.

i was watching it and it was only like one hour 12 minutes, I was so puzzled then i saw.. its ONGOING!! four episodes and I am a marathoner. LOL so I almost died needless to say. the REALLY cool thing is that I just binge watched the anime TODAY and fund this totally by accident on kissasian. LMAO I like the movie. it is NOT the anime, but its got the spirit down pretty close.

scrap teacher IS a light hearted drama, and it has awesome eye candy, great story and fun happenings. Usually you can get too much fighting in a school drama, but this one was very nice. And the "four horsemen".. they are a surprise!!!

The cast seemed very aware of the anime and stayed in character. Goda was well cast, I love the other actors / actresses but they should have helped by choosing shorter folks or filming them in a way that helped highlight the size difference. It was a good movie but who ever did the adaptation has not watched the entire anime. HINT HINT.

they have like ep 1 -3 and then they stole bits of all other episodes in the wrong order and skipped the saran wrap kiss. GAH MY FAV PART and just kept ON and ON with the he thinks she loves his friend part. UGH. It would have been ok if I had not seen the anime. but it was already burned into my heart wasn't it? No big sister either. so they really just kept the misunderstanding going for 1hour 30 minutes and bammm then they let him know. So there were no awesome scenes of him in love. and they also included a group date like in the anime but instead of them being an item, they were still not there yet. So, it was pretty ragged.

Ah i am sorry. I just glossed over the synopsis. it is a lot like the Scrap Teacher, where four mysterious kids come and save the school. It just sounded so similar. I looked into it after you asked the name and found I was wrong. MY BAD!!!

I think it would have worked out if they had picked really small actors to work along side him. His best friend is as tall or taller than he is.. URG he should be at least a head shorter if not more.
edit : Suzuki is 186 sakaguchi is 183. OMG really?? like there is not ONE shorter actor than that? for real???

It was a good movie. it is def NOt the anime.
