The movie - special, was bold enough to dare to present two untraditional families and how their dynamics were shaken when the kids started questioning the how and whys of their way of living. What I also enjoyed was the performances that were pretty great from every actor and actress in the cast.
However, I didn't like how they handled some of the scenes that were sloppy and awkward. Plus, they didn't explain some problems that eventually occured. But, overall, the story gave us a closure in the end.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

My main problem with the drama was that they had a big number of stories to present but they didn't have enough time to present them well. If this was a tv series, the story would have been more in depth explored as well as the characters messed up lives that were sometimes tangled up together. The big climax of the drama was when the friends have to meet again due to a tragedy, and it's when they realize that they indeed have not made their dreams come true. That said, the performances were really good and some of the scenes were nicely filmed.
So, overall, six and a half out of ten.

First of all, the mystery was pretty interesting. They handled the pace pretty well and they presented the whole mystery thing in a way to keep things interesting till the very end. However, the romance was so so. And the love triangle wasn't well developed. In addition, the side stories were not interesting enough to be entertaining or add something to the story. Finally, the performances were really good.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

The couple had great chemistry, first and foremost. It is actually one of the few movies where I really liked Nana's character. She looked good with Fukushi's character and they helped the love story a lot.
The main plot is not confusing as well. Although it could have been, they presented it so perfectly that it was not even tiring to watch.
The ending, however, was not as good as a happy one.
So, overall, seven and a half out of ten.

I was a bit sceptical when they were planing to get the couple back together, as I was fearing that the problems that set them apart will be even greater this time around. However, they actually managed to make it work. The couple had chemistry and the love story was both cute and realistic at the same time. The plot was a bit predictable but it was satisfying.
In addition the performances were good from everyone in the cast. However, I've found the two main characters a bit different from the first season. That aside, they were good nevertheless.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

The story had some intensity, especially towards the ending. Actually, the ending episodes were the ones that made the drama worth watching. The rest was kind of boring and tiring to watch.
The performances, on the other hand, were really good. Both actors were great and their character had a nice character development. They also had chemistry and that helped the drama a lot.
So, overall, Can and Abel was okay, but nothing spectacular, as it was a bit boring and the story was not too surprising.

The chemistry of the couple was unbelievable. Yes, the love triangle was not as good as it should have, which would have increased the intensity of the love story, but well, it is what it is. Plus, the mystery of the sister was interesting.
The acting, moreover, was nice and the leads were adorable. The performances were great as well.
However, even though the story was daring with that plot and theme, the drama had many cliches and it got slow towards the ending. But, the ending was more than satisfying, so seven out of ten.

The first part was okay and kind of cute. It was entertaining to see how the main character changed slowly after making new friends. The side characters were quite interesting as well. And, after first half, those side characters were the best thing happening to the series. The romance was okay at first, but it got a bit boring eventually. The drama stopped being funny as well. And the main character got a bit annoying.
So, six out of ten.

At least some of the stories from the first season were completed. Especially the one with the girl who broke up with her boyfriend because she had self esteem issues. I also enjoyed the drama that the leading lady's relationship had.
The performances were good as well. And the soundtrack was interesting.
So, seven out of ten.

So, I liked the action scenes, as there were plenty. The blood bath was okay, but, after a while, watching the fiftieth hand in the movie drop on the ground, you get a bit bored. The story overall was good as well and I liked the relationship between the two leads. In addition, the sword fights were well managed, but the cinematography could have been better.
So, six and a half out of ten.

Honestly, even though the performances were great, the story very intense and heavy, the start was too slow. I almost droped it because the first few episodes were lacking originality and that factor that pulles the viewer in.
So, 7.5 out of 10.

I did like Ji Soo's character and he portrayed him very nicely, with boyish charms and boyfriend quality shots. Jung Jin Young was adorable as well and he is blooming into a great actor. However, the leading lady was a bit annoying. I found her character a bit messy, as she presented two personalities throughout the drama.
Another thing that i didn't like was the way they had ended the drama. The ending could have been a bit more smoothly, even if there is a second season coming soon.
The second couple, finally, was cute and promising. And they provived some solid funny moments overall.
So, seven out of ten.

However, this one also had a really odd conclusion to the love story. One thing that I liked in the drama was the love triangle. Here, however, the love triangle was weak and the love story didn't have a nice, satisfying ending.
There were some things that I did enjoy however: Nichkhun's cameo, Chiba's character, the sport festival and the way the hosting club teamed up and competed. I also liked the leading lady, the most reasonable character.
So, five out of ten.

As it is a parody (I think) the characters and the events are copy paste from the classic shoujo manga trops that can be found in the genre. However, I did find the acting a bit over the top, as well as the some scenes. But the settings and the clothes seemed quite good and it looked as if the production had really invested in the representation of the Ouran High School.
Overall, the story was cute, although you have to watch the movie to conclude it. The romance was kind of off as well, even though the love triangle was good.
So, five out of ten.

So, one thing that I loved was the relationship between the teacher and her students. Also, I enjoyed the leading lady. As a character, she was adoralbe and easily lovable. And the actress suited the role, as she was pretty and dynamic.
However, the small stories centered mainly on the group of students that we watch in the first episode and it never really presents the whole class properly. And, some of them were just annoying.
So, six out of ten.
