TWENTY EPISODES of this IS usufferable! Like, for at least the last 10 episodes of what I watched, I was like: is it STILL not the final? STILL not the final? STILL not the final...? I AM DROPPING THIS AT 18/20 BECAUSE I CAN'T STAND IT ANYMORE, IF I WANT TO FASTFOWRARD DURING A 12 MINUTE EPISODE THINGY!!! Or someone please shoot me in the head so I die and it ends!! This must be worst thing ever done by Playlist Global. For the 1st time I'll give low rating.
Seriously, I never heard anything more stupid than taking college lessons about "love". LOL what an education. On the other hand, the way the professor "teaches" it just like any other subject, it shows how stupid many actual subjects in colleges may be.
really cute, easy watch.u can watch all episode compiled on youtube(3hours).
who would want to watch the same show for 3 hours :LOL: many people don't get episodes exist for a reason:) and I say, enjoy it.. always prefer dramas to movies.
Despite the premise, which many might find off-putting, this is definitely worth watching for Jun Matsumoto, joking aside, he's really interesting to watch. After appearing on HYD, this made me understand where he did come from as an actor (he was probably also a dancer). The main actress is VERY beautiful and despite this show being dated, I liked how she dressed.
The episodes felt so short. There could definitely be more. Especially about the relationship we found the most captivating. After episode 6, I would appreciate if characters like Hasumi, Fukushima, or even the crazy therapist stepped back into the background. We have Takeshi's mother only shortly for 1 episode, and it's still more entertaining than any of that. Suzuki Sarina was very cute in her best friend role, though honestly her scenes toned the drama down every time we had a restrospective talk instead of more action.
The final felt a bit flat, on one hand, there was not enough time for the main two, because we had to deal with so many side characters and give them some kind of ending as well, and when it did come to the mains we still dealt with the "love triangle", which was by then way past my interest. Overall it was not fully romantically satisfying but it was cute.
So, I'm not interested to see the remake done 14 years later. Knowing already the limits this kind of romance has to offer, I understand that it only shall be "cleaner" and "less toxic" version of the same, which does not interest me. Jun Matsumoto is also replaced by someone who's not interesting.
Hmm.. Suzuki Jin is sooo adorable and cute in this one.. And attractive, too: despite being only 20.. He does have age gap with the main woman (she wears thin eyebrows, which somehow makes her look even older), then again, the "suitable" man she has her arranged meeting with has the same age gap from her. Her age is precisely in the middle between the two men.
Really liked this one and it’s one of the recent jdramas that I actually enjoyed. Sweet and simple story. I…
Yeah, I also kept waiting.. On one hand, I did NOT miss any of the corny elements you mentioned. On the other hand, it DID feel suspicious that the perfect, handsome guy showed up from nowhere and loved the main girl instantly. You WOULD expect something hidden LOL
Watched about 5 eps of this and decided to look at the cast and the ML is born in 2000?? if this was released…
Exactly. Considering that he was 19 he did a good job LOL But it does explain why his onscreen wife looks somehow weird with him. She is considerably older.. Or he is considerably younger than the role.. In epi 5 where he talks about his ex whom he dated 5 years back.. He'd have to be 14, then:) So, the role is definitely older.
Episode 1, Minute 3 of the drama: Wow, Jung Sang Hoon from 'High-End Crush'! My thoughts all the following minutes: I must re-watch 'High-End Crush'! I must re-watch 'High-End Crush'! LOL (sorry but I already watched 'Hirugao' so I didn't have to pay that much attention to the story anyways lol)
Okay, seriously. The story was banal even in the original, let alone for typical k-drama runtime boosted re-watch, but at least there was the attractive, HOT cast (like Saitoh Takumi!! who did mind his boring small town teacher character, if he looked like Saitoh Takumi?:), which is not present, here. I'm sorry, but Ye Ji Won is 46 and looks even older: the japanese original married mother of two was a hottie (and younger than her rich husband, obviously.. that no longer applies, in this adaptation). As for the main female lead, she is also less pretty, her looks are extremely generic and she doesn't have the soft, vulnerable face, at least. Leading guy has the typical half-feminine look of a korean "attractive male" which serves to naturally dim the hotness even with those who ARE attractive. Plus of course, his looks suffer from THE immortal stupid haircut. The already mentioned Jung Sang Hoon is too fun for the meek character role. Jo Dong Hyuk is bearable ONLY thanks to that the role required him not cut & shave. Else, it's just Kim Mi Kyung's mother-in-law who gives you exactly the same vibe, like she'd jump here straight from the original. But all this is just superficial. If you come from j-drama, you might complain that you don't feel the heat but, if you swim in k-dramas you need not worry. You're exactly where you're used to being, lol.
I'm at 1/2 of it and can't help it being spoiled for me by the disappointment after I heard that they won't kiss.. ever. Wait. Won't they kiss even in either of the 2 sequels?
Okay, so here is probably the MOST UNDERRATED dorama I have ever seen so far. I am glad I always check out doramas…
Well it ends on them woving they'll remain friends. I don't really consider this "girl love" as they don't really have sexual relationship, but they don't shy from the aspect, either. Some things might look "hentai" but they're okay among real friends. And their conversations often seem like this drama (I won't use the dated term dorama) was actually intended to be kind of educational, lol.

Looks like the straight cast really - if something gets a sequel, then there's also the fandom pressure - refused to do it.
