Story: A perfect telling of a love (fated and unfated) that transcends time. What will you do if the man you love was too ambitious that he was willing to give you up for his ambitions? What will you do when the man you hated loved you instead? What will you do if the man you treated as a good friend wanted you as well? What will you do when the man you loved and respected as friend and brother was betrayed not by others but by yourself? What will you do if you have no choice but to marry the man that was chosen for you? The main female lead tackles all of these questions and more. There are a lot happening in this drama that there is never a boring moment. You'll find yourself "chasing" after the episodes because you'll want to know what she will do next and what the ppl around her will do next. Despite so many challenges in the female lead's life, the story was told at a nice pace and each matter addressed adequately that you'll never feel as if you were left high and dry after being shown a tasty morsel. What's more... you'll even get to see how the female lead matures as the story progresses. A full rounder! Beautifully told and executed!



Acting/Cast: Lovely cast and most of them are experienced actors and actresses, hence excellent acting. I must also mention the costumes, props and sceneries in this drama as well. They sure invested a lot on them! Definitely worth watching! I personally, fell in love with the costumes!!!



Music: Endearing, sad, beautiful, melodic, longing, love....they are all gorgeously portrayed through the OSTs. This drama boasts a wonderful array of excellent OSTs that will bring a sigh, smile and tear to your heart. A worthy collection!



Rewatch value: I am personally not a big fan of re-watching dramas as I am very time poor. However, I'd purchase the DVDs, downloaded the mp4 versions and the OSTs of this drama. This says a lot about this drama and its songs! I'd since re-watched selected episodes of my favourite scenes. Due to my time and work commitments, I have yet been able to re-watch the entire drama but the thought is very tempting.



Overall: A beautiful drama that will remain in your memories long after the last song was sung and the curtains are drawn. This is one drama that will always be at the back of my mind as recommendation for others who are looking for a good historical chinese drama. Well done to all the casts, director and writer!

I have had a history of trial and error with Chinese dramas, mostly because of the acting. So, when I saw the first episodes of this drama I was instantly enthralled with the story.

But towards the middle of the drama, the story seems to drag. I knew a lot was happening, but at the same time it seemed like nothing was and I tend to have the attention span of a five year old.

Another problem I had was with the production team (I guess). The transitions both from scene to scene and the lapses in time seemed chaotic and I was often confused as to why they didn't make these smoother.

Having said that, I did love the story. I would have been able to enjoy it more if they had managed to piece the scenes together better than they did. I also loved the gorgeous costumes. And this drama has some of the best employed flashback scenes I have seen.

It's not the worst drama I have ever seen since I managed to fully complete it, but it's not the best one out there either.

Loved it! I saw the drama and the movie! The acting was brilliant. Both leads were exceptional and the storyline was most impressive. Though not scientifically realistic, it was a very entertaining drama to watch. Every episode was worth watching. It will leave you wanting for more. I love the song, "Kiss-shite". Its a very sweet song <3. I rewatched certain episodes of this drama and I barely rewatch anything. Overall, it is one of my most memorable dramas and I was obsessed over it for a while . Plus, the character was slightly imitated in the last episode of in Meitantei Okite, another drama.

Honestly, this is an awesome drama! A lot of Fei Lun Hai members are in here and the their roles suited their acting level. The storyline is extremely unique, unlike any I've seen in Taiwanese dramas before. The music is oh my god, is one of the best I've ever heard in asian drama. The opening by Tank is so good that I still murmur the words when I listen to it. I would rewatch this because it's very funny and clever. Overall, it's more than an 8. Its very good. I would recommend this to wuxia/comedy lovers. The girls can enjoy this too because of the adorable romance lines.

Personally, I was so excited when this drama was coming out and it came out on my birthday (idk how that matters). Anyways I was like Aaron and Calvin, I'm watching this. It wasn't disappointing to me but it was a bit disorganized. The leads are in the middle of expanding their acting skills but that's fine. I don't mind that. The music was cute, I liked it. Certain moments were enhanced by the music. The story was awesome! I didn't know who she should end up with and I liked that about the story. However, sometimes it got so draggy. That's why I wouldn't rewatch this as much. Overall, it was worth watching to me because of the coupling :)

I was immediately interested in this drama the instant I saw the story and casting. I personally adored Daniel Henney in My Name is Kim-Sam Soon and Rain in Full House. So I thought I should give it a try. The cast acted very well for their roles. Rain is hilarious at certain times. I personally like the OST for this drama including the songs Bang Bang Bang and Running by MBLAQ plus Mayday by Oran-G. Their all in my ipod. The storyline was interesting but certain times dragged on the story.It could have ended earlier. Overall, it was good though. I liked the two couples in this drama. very cute and well presented.

Oh Thx again for a wonderfully done historical Kdrama. I only wish that American had such an interesting history.

Now to the story. Loved it! I was slightly upset that my fave actor in this drama died. Yoo Seung Ho was the bestest! I loved him in "4th Period Murder Mystery". I loved the acting & thought that all the actors had great chemistry. I love the music b/c of the feeling it gives. I wish that they changed it up a little more, but it was still good. I have new fave actors b/c of this drama. I will watch this historical drama again over others 1. b/c it was short, & 2. b/c I love the actors. I believe that if u like historical dramas then u will like this 1. I actually cried when my fave actor died (which totally means a lot b/c I don't cry for ne reason). Watch it & enjoy!~)

Death Tube, as you predict, is similar to Saw movies and the like. This one is not so horrible-looking though. It does contains bloody scenes but other US films is much much more brutal.



The story is what I like in this movie. It is common, people gets drag into a game which requires them to kill other players. What impressed me is the idea of YouTube. What disappointed me is their movie effects. The blood used are obviously a fake, no much effort.



The acting did not make a good impression at all. All of the casts are not popular. They did their best but really, I'm not impressed.



Music is fine. Most of the scenes does not have sound because it will only ruin the mood.



Rewatch value is 7. I will watch this again some time, and will likely make my friend watch this too.



Overall, I give the movie a fair score.

Q10's story is so cute and funny. Episode 1 will already make you say "Oh Kyuto is so cute makes me wanna hug her" something like that. The roles of each characters are also the best part for me because the writer used different or uncommon personalities, like the poor guy, the girl in wig, and the weird Fujino!



The acting is great. The main casts did their best at their roles. You can feel them. Some of the minor casts are not known like Kaku Kento but they did very good.



A must-watch esp. if you enjoy drama which involves school and class.(I never get bored of this genre.)

Even though the story line of this drama is very common to c in Kdrama it was still rly good. I enjoyed it mostly b/c of the actors/actresses. The leads were perfect. I enjoyed the chemistry that flowed between not just the main couple but the love triangle/secondary couple. There were so many back stories that kept popping up that made this drama more interesting than just the main story line. The drama made me laugh, cry (not rly, but figuratively), and made me want to watch it again. The last episode was the best, b/c I just love babies. I think if u watch this drama it will make u feel many different things & u will want to watch it till the end. I will prolly watch this drama again b/c I rly loved the acting & it made me laugh A LOT! Check it out 4 urself. Enjoy!~)

Ever since I heard about this movie, I've always wanted to watch this. When I saw the trailer, everything looked awesome. Some trailers make movies look good and after you watch the movie, you get disappointed, but THIS movie didn't disappoint me at all! It is so awesome! It's youthful, funny, crazy, sweet, innocent, cute, happy, a little sad, unique, full of love, and just plain awesome. The story is super nice, sweet, and funny.



Junpei Mizobata was perfect for the Yoh Komiyama role, and Ito Ono did a wonderful job as Haruna Nagashima. The two of them looked super cute together. ^^ The cast was great! Everything was just great, even the songs. I'm already familiar with the manga for a long time, but I've only read 2-3 chapters of it and THIS movie makes me want to read it more. I recommend everyone to watch this awesome movie. It will surely lighten up your day. The movie would probably make you want to have a handsome love coach. Haha~

This is one of my favorite Jdramas.



Story: 8/10 The plot behind this drama is pretty ordinary. It's to make a loner girl at school, into one of the popular kids. That being said, I enjoyed every minute of it.



Acting: 10/10 The acting by Kamenashi Kazuya and Yamashita Tomohisa was outstanding. Erika Toda also did a great job. Overall, the entire cast was relatively flawless. One great thing about Yamaspi in this drama was the fact that he plays a very cute and quirky character unlike his other dramas.



Music: 7/10 The music for this jdrama was pretty average. It served it's purpose and I forgot it soon after I finished the drama.



Rewatch Value: 6/10 This is actually one of the better dramas to rewatch since you know what's going to happen from the very beginning.



Overall: 9/10 All in All, this drama is one of the more lighthearted, fun to watch Jdramas that everyone should watch. So what are you waiting for? Go! Go! Go!
