In the end I liked this movie, but the journey was weird and quirky and I almost stopped before I finished. Kinda glad I didn't. I don't regret watching.
I just recently rewatched one of the Japanese versions and all while I was watching I kept thinking "the Koreans took it way too serious". It's like they didn't want to be seen as silly whereas the Japanese said "F"it, do whatever and that's why it's better than the Korean version. I too missed the friendships and camaraderie enjoyed in the Japanese versions. Shohei Miura's Nakatsu was so delightful puzzling over his feelings for a "man". Anyway, this drama was ok just not the best of all the versions.
This was cute short drama. The sister was all kinds of adorable. The music was awesome and the guy had a nice voice. I was just searching for something to watch and came across this on Viki, so glad I stopped and gave it a shot. Love it.
Just posting to agree with a lot of you, the lead actress was extremely annoying. I really can't stand characters like her. Thank goodness for the second lead couple, they saved the show.
Just randomly came upon this drama and decided to give it a go. I am so happy I did. Although, like others said, this drama is slow paced it never lost me. I adored Taiga, Shiori, Umi, and the rest of the characters. When I finished this drama there was a very warm feeling left in my heart region. I must admit I haven't felt that way about a drama in a long time. Not that I haven't seen some really good ones lately, just haven't had this feeling after. I'm not a die hard fan of Matsumoto Jun, but I saw a different actor from the previous drama I seen him in. He's a bit intriguing to me, so I will be checking out more from him.
Surprisingly the BL Jmovies have extremely hot kisses. Why can scenes between two men have intensely moving lips…
I also hate the barely touching you hugs they grudgingly dole out. I don't go around doing it often, but when I do it's going to be tight and I'm rubbing and patting you on the back. I want to give comfort when I hug. Check out the Takumi-kun series to see what I mean about those kisses. I watched the whole series on kissasian.sh
Finished last night. It was okay, though I kept thinking that all the 2nd half drama could have been solved with…
Surprisingly the BL Jmovies have extremely hot kisses. Why can scenes between two men have intensely moving lips but scenes between a male and female are like dead fish locking lips. It is frustrating.
Sorry, I wanted to like this film but I found it slow and...void? I don't know how to explain it. Normally films like this would have me all in my emotions, but this one didn't grab me. That's all that I can say.
This drama was so in your face over the top silly and just plain goofy at times. Despite that, or maybe because of that I thoroughly enjoyed this drama. It's a fluffy, lighthearted, lesson learning drama that doesn't drag because the episodes are very short. If you don't take yourself (or your drama watching) too serious, marathon this drama and enjoy.
This drama good slow moving enjoyable ride. I won't go into any details about this drama but I will say that I was overjoyed at the 'adult' relationship that was developed. One of the things I truly hate about Kdramas is the way that couples barely physically touch each other. Sure there are the few obligatory kisses that show up, but not much comforting touches couples give each other. If one hugs the other there is usually only the one giving the hug that is embracing. The other keeps their arms down. I'm not saying that no dramas have real hugs, I'm just saying it doesn't happen often. This drama gave me a real couple showing each other real comfort at the appropriate moments. I will forever love this drama for that realness. I wholeheartedly recommend this drama for the romanticist out there.

I've been using dramacool for a few years but just started using kissasian on the 17th to watch Biscuit Teacher and Star Candy. I was able to watch all 16 episodes with 'relatively' no problems. Sometimes the video would freeze and I would refresh and it worked. On kissasian I did see some ads that advertised meeting lovely Russian or Asian women, but nothing pornographic so I didn't think anything about it. I honestly was all about the drama (love me some Gong Yoo). As for a subscription I am not aware if either site has one. I live in America, if you do too I have no clue as to why you can't access either site to watch the dramas. Are both sites showing disgusting ads? Again sorry about those suggestions.

I'm truly sorry if these web addresses have disgusting advertisements. I have never seen or even paid attention to any of the advertisements and truly have not noticed anything of the sort. Also I watch dramacool9.com all the time and just started watching kissasian.ch and am able to watch dramas. Again I apologize for any inconvenience I caused you, I truly was just trying to help.
What I have come to accept is that everyone has their own unique tastes. Keeping that in mind the comments are like 'feelers' to me. They give me a sense of what people got out of the drama but they don't necessarily influence my decision. I say 'necessarily' because if I'm already feeling like a drama is a pass for me, all it takes is one comment saying the drama is bad and I'm like "right"? and keep it moving. In hindsight a few of the dramas you mentioned might have had the issues you mentioned, but I still for other reasons enjoyed them. Haven't seen Mad Dog or that school one. It comes down to this simple fact for me, they can't all be diamonds. I'll accept the cubic zirconia because it sparkles in its own way.
Sounds to me that I should wait until this drama finishes before I start it. Gotcha, I will put it off so I don't have to go through waiting every week. Be back then for my commentary.
It is hard to choose which comments/reviews to trust, when everyone has such different tastes. Let's not even get into all the different reasons why someone may like or dislike a drama as opposed to others. Baring all that in mind, I absolutely enjoyed this drama. I enjoyed all the cast and rooted for all the couples. I did not have a problem with the paths the writer chose to take with the couples, nor did I find his or hers final destination abhorrent or disappointing. I won't go into the reasons why because those same reasons might may be just the reasons why you might feel the opposite. You have to decide for yourself if you think this drama is good or not. I say it's worth it to watch and form your own opinion. When I clicked stop on my computer, I did so with a smile on my face and a light happiness in my heart. This is one of a handful of dramas this year that touched my heart. I wholeheartedly recommend.
Just finished watching this movie and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The relationship between Seong Min and Soo Rin was so beautifully crafted. As I wipe tears from my eyes I am typing to anyone who reads this, watch this movie????
After reading this, i feel the strong need to drop "Black" because it always came to my mind at every point mentioned…
Yeah put them on-hold and it doesn't seem like you're giving up. Just seems as if you plan on revisiting at a later date. Oh and I feel you on that Black situation. I am struggling to keep on watching that train wreck of a drama. Yes I could put it on hold but it fills like I need to gulp it down now or I will never finish it.
