Don't let 30 episodes scare you..even if long drama is not your cup of tea if you are a sucker for smooth sailing romance Love o2o will surely get you.
No misunderstanding between the main couple,no stupid jealousy and guess what you'll see match made in Heaven ^^
if you are a gamer or interested in IT you might also want to check this out. if we leave out the romance after alll, we see how a group of young guys start their business in gaming..
I think this kind of drama is the best to pass the time and relax ^^

The countenance of perfection!
Who cares about critics when a movie can represent someone's life on the big screen.
"Bokura in Gohan wa Ashita of Matteru" has a common but well written story with a perfect chronological narrative.
The genre bending comedy is also present, I loved it, it's not every day we see women taking initiative and picking on heavy and men doing light and domestic things, based on a novel by Maiko Seo, "Our Meal for Tomorrow" by Masahide Ichii is another unconventional romantic drama.
In the cast we have Ryota Hayama (Yuto Nakajima), high school student (Nakajima is a member of the popular boy boy Hey! Say! Jump), but is a lonely and sensitive when the movie begins. Then a girl from her class, Koharu Uemura (Yuko Araki), asks her to partner with her in a sack race ...
Working from the script itself, the film follows the reverse gender relationship - emotionally vulnerable face and mentally primordial girl with no ...
The story also features twists of often-seen plots, both medical and romantic, though their treatment of them is more original than normal.
"Bokura no Gohan wa Ashita de Matteru" is a love story any but for me it is one of the most impressive and cute I have ever seen. It's worth watching!

I knew nothing about the novel before watching this film, and only watched half of the drama but I thought the movie had more charming actors/performances and better CGI/set design by a long shot. The actors in the drama are stiff - not in a shy, introverted way, but in a dull plastic doll way. I was far more entertained by this movie.

That being said, the movie really fumbled with its pacing. The first 1.5 hours was focused on the leads falling in love - the last 0.5 hours was everything else under the sun. If the directors wanted to cover everything in the novel, then they should've paced it better. But since there were so many disparate topics and characters, I believe cutting certain storylines out would have benefited the movie. Without giving spoilers, there were certain one-sided-love stories that, though perhaps had a point in the original source, were just a waste of time in the film.

The film did a good job as a visually pleasing, light romantic film exploring the gaming world and college student world... but its representation of the heart of the source material is questionable. But it was definitely created to be something of the former than the latter (dat ending hashtag doe)

also - Jing Boran is so. handsome.

For being a small series I enjoyed it! Short and sweet, the characters were very likable and real,their reasoning behind their sometimes questionable actions were believable. It leaves you with some unanswered questions and the male love interest is severely underdeveloped with no personality, but the other three main characters did an excellent job. Barely any fanservice but this 40~ minute series is worth looking at for those down for a little drama and discourse. My only hope would be a follow up episode where they show the motives behind the male love interest, why he did what he did, and more on the "relationship" between the two female leads.

It was a beautiful series, amazing cinematography, some great acting, and deep characters with realistic dialogue. The ending was AWFUL though, my jaw dropped and so my score for this series. Completely infuriating and cheap. Otherwise an excellent series and seriously handsome actors. Not much 'fan service' but the chemistry between the two main actors was pretty great and the moments they did have were unforgettable. The series also had great social commentary on LGBT issues, definitely something worth checking out. Again, if it wasn't for the rushed second half of episode 4 I would've given this series a solid 9 outta 10 but the ending is completely unforgivable and laughably ridiculous.

first of all, the main casts are really something. it's kim ji won and park soe jun who has both excellent visual and acting talent. their chemistry in this drama will give you butterflies in your stomach, it's so sweet but not lame at all.
it's a light story but this drama will courage you to achieve your dream even though the situation may not support. the story is also realistic and simple, but i bet it will keep you wanting to watch the next episodes.
lots of sweet kissu!
one thing i disappoint about this drama is the ending, it needs more sweetness at the end after all:(

It's the first time I watched longgggg episodes in Chinese dramas and so far, I liked it. Uhh, no, I LOVE PRINCESS AGENTS DRAMA! Yuwen Yue is a cold guy who falls in love with Xinger/Chu Qiao. They are so cute together. By the way, who says they have no chemistry? They perfectly had it especially in episode 44 when they accidentally kissed!!!!!!!! *SCREAMS* I give this drama a perfect rating because they deserve it. Yuwen Yue, I fell for you. In case, Chu Qiao will hurt you, know that I am just here! Princess Agent! Highly Recommended Drama! I'm excited for the next episode. Ciao!

YIKES... I thought I could enjoy the movie because I'm a fan of Zheng Kai (through running man) and I liked a similar film, One Night Surprise, but this... was just a really bad movie. It probably deserves a lower overall score.

The film has elements of slapstick, exaggerated characters, ridiculous situations, terrible nosy parents, useless supporting characters, crude/criminal decisions made by the leads... and nothing to redeem it. The romance? wasn't rooting for any of them. The actors did well with the terrible script, I suppose. And the music wasn't detrimental to the film.

The movie left me asking why, why did I just watch this, and made me feel like a worse person for watching it.

Perhaps this review is biased because I am in love with Fan Bing Bing, but overall I found this Chinese rom-com to be a very good Chinese rom-com - meaning, yes, expect the slap stick comedy, that one scene that is poorly CGI-ed, and the often ridiculous storyline. But what's a good rom-com without all these traits? I digress.

Fan Bing Bing and all her supporting men have amazing chemistry in this drama. Her character is the beautiful, successful, and single character leading a lot of rom-coms nowadays, but Bing Bing makes the character relatable and memorable. Watching her on her Mamma-Mia-esque quest to find the baby daddy didn't drag on, until a bit of angst set in near the end of the film. But the conclusion was worth it, as all the character remain likable throughout.

The wardrobe and set styling were all beautiful throughout the drama, as was the smooth directing by Eva Jin. As the writer/director of this film, you can see a lot of similarities with her past work, Sophie's Revenge, but a LOT of improvements as well.

This movie remains one of my favorite romantic comedies, would recommend if you're in the mood for something light, silly, and aesthetically pleasing (Aarif is so so handsome and how does Bing Bing look so young in this).

the plot of the movie is slow. i found myself waiting for something good to happen but that didn't. its a depressing movie. the acting is amazing i was crying like a baby but its so sad. bad friends. i didn't find any moral or lesson or message behind this movie, that's just my opinion. its not too bad but i wouldnt watch it again. this made me think way worse on the concept of "friendship". However i did enjoy the few funny moments between them which were SO little. also the acting was spot on.

STORY
From first impressions, this drama may seem like a very light-hearted love story between 2 youths. However, as each episode unfolds, you realize how much depth this story surprisingly has. The story itself has does have some repetitions - at first, it seemed like bad editing, but as you continue, you will soon realize more and more, that the story was made this way on purpose to send the right message. I was very surprised of how a simple on-the-surface plot can be transformed into a feels-train with its hidden complexity. Needless to say, this is a must-watch imo

CHARACTERS / ACTING
This drama really only focuses on one character - Yoo Tak, which at first seemed like a generic character.. and he actually is. As someone who enjoys music, Yoo Tak is very relatable and you will see how he makes mistakes not just for the sake of drama. Among L's work, this is definitely one of the better roles he does done. The lead actress also did very well on her character.

MUSIC
The music in this mini-series is absolutely mesmerizing! There are a few scenes in this drama where nothing is actually presented visually - but the music coupled the situation so well that it was actually driving the story and gave it life and meaning. Particularly, there's a light guitar track with some vocals that really enhanced the experience.

SUMMARY
This drama started off very well with good background set-up and character introductions. The fragrance theme is used very creatively in this drama as both a competing product and weapon. Overall, this drama is worth a watch for anyone who enjoys an interesting use of fragrance in story telling and many plot-twists.

STORY
The story's first three-quarters is very good, playing with ideas of crime, family relationships and personal morals. The theme of betrayal and sacrifice is very strong and characters are constantly forced to be make difficult decisions, often between family versus personal morals. The film shows good moral messages throughout the story as characters succeeds and fails. The plot is excellent until the last quadrant... where the director tried to force melodrama in scenes where it doesn't belong - unfortunately, the ending turned out to be extremely bizarre and unimpressive, when it could have been a lot better.

CHARACTERS AND ACTING
Character development is huge in this drama. Throughout the plot, all significant characters would actively experience, learn and change their behavior, for both the better and the worst. At certain part, however, the difference in character behavior becomes unrealistic drastic, making the acting feel unnatural and the character hard to believe

Ok, I usually kinda enjoy historical dramas, but this one took me by surprise and is now one of my favorites of all times. Maybe it IS my ultimate favorite.
I´m not kidding, it´s amazing.
The plot, the characters, the actors... it´s all incredible. I can't find anything to complain about.
I cried, I laughed and really enjoyed every minute of it.
The history behind the plot is also very rich, and I recommend you to look into it before and after you watch this drama.
Anyway, don´t miss it... the first 7 episodes can be a little slow (even though I like it a lot, is considered as kinde of a prelude), but don´t let this discourage you!
You will find romance, adventure, friendship, mistery, war and an amazing journey.
