Good
I like this movie. It has an interesting story about gambling. And gambling is all about trust and luck, and they portray that really well in this story.Now to Kaiji. He is a gambler, has no money, has a bad life and is in debt. He runs from one misfortune to the next misfortune. He is too nice and people manipulate him with the idea that he can change his life. In reality, bad people use his desperation for their own entertainment. He is smart and that helps him a lot. And what I really like about him is that he fights for others. He is too nice and complicates his life when other people would make different choices. It is interesting to see what he does next. But we don't know much about his life at all.
People often complain that the actors are overacting, but I don't understand that point. This movie is an adaptation, so the actors act like the characters in the manga. The acting is good most of the time.
Overall, I can say that the movie is very well done and I can recommend it to everyone. The games are also great and very interesting.

Sweet Drama
Not much needs to be said about this drama. It is a short, sweet story.Here it is shown very clearly what it is like to have a one-sided love for a very long time and what friendship really means.
In this drama we see how both characters suffer and in the end we get exactly what we want to see. They confess their feelings to each other and become happy.. And that's exactly what you can expect from this drama. It is not meant to be complicated.
I liked this drama and the actors did a good job. It fulfills exactly what I wanted to see. That's why this drama gets 10 stars from me.

Not a good drama
Positive:I really liked the cast for this drama. I think they did a really good job and potrayed their character very well. I also liked the first episodes and the theme of this drama.
Negative:
The story was such a mess and i hate the ending. I really wanted to give up on this drama but i hate to drop a drama. Thats why i forced myself to watch every episode with the hope that the story would get better but it only got more complicated. I said previously that i really like the acting but some of the characters are so stupid and so annoying. For example Pla... She did so many stupid things and believed every word from her sister. I mean come one... This woman destroyed your life and made your life harder and Pla ignores everything....
If i am honest i think the person who i really liked the most was Trai and his son. They are the vicims in this story. For example : the betrayel of his father and his wife. He lost so many years with his son and his son had to live with a lie because of his mother. Trai had amnesia and had to live with a person he never loved.... You can see that the story is quite complicated. I do not have a problem if they use amnesia in their plot or if someone betrayed someone but they could have worked on the plot a little bit more... The story just seemed over-the-top and it felt like every kind of cliché was thrown into the story.
I do not really want to go more in detail but i would not recommed this drama.
