Beautiful back drop, beautiful So-Ji Sub, decent female lead (A little green in the acting dept.) , put them all together and…the whole drama was one big pile of Meh!! Not much chemistry. Not every drama has to be some rick-rolling wild event, but it was too under-stated. I'll leave it at cute.

This drama didn't grab me at all. I got so bored all I could do was stare at the female lead's toothpick legs and black tights every episode. It made her seem like such a child. Unfortunate clothing choices in so many dramas, I just don't get it.

Choi Jin Hyuk was in fine form but I felt nothing for these characters or their situations. I felt no chemistry from anyone. I couldn't finish it.

I knew Jin Hyuk could do better. And he did. Watch TUNNEL!! Or go back in time and watch "It's okay, daddy's girl."

Nagase owned this drama in a role tailor made for him. I loved Hara-chan. He truly was a living cartoon and his sweet innocence changed everyone he met. The concept of the drama is one of my absolute favorites. Having our cartoon, comic, movie character heroes come to life. Some episodes even brought me to tears. The female lead on the hand, was a limp dish-rag the entire drama. I get that she's an introvert, and lacks confidence, I'm one and i've been there, but there's such a thing as being too under-stated in character. She had minimal growth and lacked enthusiasm. I would've been jumping for joy and having the time of my life if I learned these characters were real. Especially Hara-Chan. But I understand she had her life to live in the real world, they were fantasies.

There were different ways I'd have ended it, but it was fine.

The main theme song is a total ear-worm, I still hum it all the time.

Pure Drama crack, with Peter Ho as the biggest fix. He acted his heart out and kept me mesmerized. But as a funeral home attendant I've seen real corpses more animated than Barbie Hsu's character. She wandered around in a quiet fog putting everybody under her spell. Frankly, though she's beautiful, her appearance weirds me out it's so unnatural. The guys fought over her like two obsessive Dr. Frankensteins struggling to see which one can claim "She's ALIVE! ALIVE!"

And Luo Xi's smarmy chin annoyed me to pieces.

I liked her a lot in Dr. Frost, not sure why she didn't get more roles! Hope she does now.

I know so many were disappointed with this drama. I can't put my finger on it but I loved it from beginning to end. It's a surreal revenge/melo and I loved all the little nuances from the sets to the costumes that all added to the themes of the story.

Love Kimura, but not this drama. However, it gave me a new favorite Madonna song from the credits. "Miles Away."

Right now I'm watching Black. Some of these I have non stand-by. You should add Jang Hyuk's Money Flower to this list. So far it's a fantastic drama!!

When I first started watching dramas I felt guilty all the time and would force myself to finish and "hate watch" it to the end. But I woke up and and decided I didn't care any more. Life's too short to waste on bad dramas with all the boring bits, filler, and off the rails story lines. I'm a much happier drama watcher and I eagerly label dramas as dropped on this website. I like to give Dramas the "3 strikes you're out" chance though. If it can't engage me by the 3rd ep. then I'm done. It's not that I think the drama was terrible, because other viewers love it to death (I tend to not like what everyone else is gushing about!) but my answer is "It's not for me."

I found a new love in Kingone Wang, he's absolutely amazing in this drama even if the ability of the actors around him is up and down. He keeps me glued to the screen. I love how the emotions just flicker subtly through his eyes. He should've won an award for this performance, I felt like he truly studied for the role of a blind man. The drama had a lot of scenes that hit me hard and i cried, if a drama does that to me and makes MY heart hurt then I know it's good. It has its super cheesy moments, like overlong, cutesy conversations, and the ridiculous plot-line of the girl who bakes the cookies. This isn't a supernatural drama. Other than that, I enjoyed it.

Very good movie, Jo Jung Suk in particular was fantastic. Some interesting twists that lead to a bittersweet ending. But beware that it's headache inducing with all the back and forth between time-lines, and the "merry-go-round" filming at the end. Ouch.

This was more like some kind of reincarnation film than Time travel to me.

Can't you just be happy for her and her family without bringing all these charts and politics about gender equality? Since when is it a negative thing that a woman chooses a family over her career? Babies need constant attention, love and support that only a mother can truly provide.

This is the drama where I fell in love with Kitamura Kazuki, after seeing him in 2 other dramas. It showed me how versatile an actor he is, aside from being gorgeous. I agree with the review above. The show needed more father-daughter moments and less of those silly dance numbers every episode. Ueto Aya became one of my favorite Japanese actresses, but in this drama, she's young, and her character comes off as too whiny, screechy, and judgmental.

I wished she had called him Dad or Papa at some point, particularly in a later scene at the hospital. That would've added emotional weight to the whole thing.

**Edit: She did call him "Papa" quickly at the party when he was discharged from the hospital in the final episode, it was something i missed.

Realistic and funny, but also a little boring. Nothing memorable.

between 12 and 20 years ago, I would've echoed a lot of the comments here - how this movie is so cute and sweet, lovable and dreamy. But now that I'm deeper into my adulthood I tend to analyze more and the real picture emerges. I couldn't get behind this relationship even to the end. Please, imagine if this was YOUR daughter.

A teacher is in a position of trust and authority, they're responsible for the welfare of their students in their studies and mental well being as far as possible. He shattered that because he couldn't control his desires. Imagine if she weren't so emotionally strong? This could've been a huge tragedy. Nobody may agree with me, but he took advantage of her, even if it had a happy ending and he wanted to marry her. Really? Wow. Just like that. Its obvious the teacher wasn't too emotionally well-off either because of his issues in the past.

I guess I shouldn't try to make sense of a manga story. I haven't read that. It's pretty cut and dried in this movie. I'm glad their relationship went no further while she was still a student and even after he kept respectable boundaries.

I was enjoying this for a bunch of episodes, but Nao is tuning into the same old naive, dumb, hyper-obsessive J-drama lead girl. Dropping it. Do they break up at the end? If they do, good. She needs to go off and mature a few years. Then maybe later they can start a new relationship.

I understand that. I appreciate there are legal outlets to watch and grateful for any subtitles. I belong to 2 of them, now 3 if you count Neftlix. It's just unfortunate a lot of dramas that are very good, but not popular get left in the dust.

Johnny Lu should be part of the Main cast section.

These major streaming sites that we actually PAY FOR drag their feet or never subtitle the good, mature dramas, only the idol ones with the young cast that can't act but bring in the money.

I don't understand the low reviews. No real idol stars? An intelligent, mature leading lady and not some whiny, bratty girl? Coherent story line? This drama was wonderful. I enjoyed every minute. And I adored the cast. Can't wait to find more of their dramas.
