Tokyo Juliet (2006)

There were lots of things that I thought were ok about this drama & lots that got on my nerves. I didn't like how the story b/t the 2 leads was so quick. The fact that the girl that was uncertain about herself had so many guys trying to hook up w/ her was weird. & Y did she befriend ppl that tried to rape her? Yeah I said rape, b/c any1 who says "the more you struggle, the more excited I will be" to a girl is out to force himself on her. I had real issues with her making friends w/ the ppl that did this type of thing in the drama. I am just not so sure I was convinced that this drama was even ok. I liked the story but it should have had more to it besides the up & down romance & the fight b/t designers. It wasn't a complete waste of time, but I don't think I liked it as much as other dramas out there.

Ok first of all i have to sadly admit that even though i like Wu Chun a lot, through this hole drama i`ve felt that this role was meant for Mike He, the hair style too of course.



First i`ll say what i didn`t like about this drama and then what i like. Beside the main role that i mentioned i don`t think the title fits the story and that it has no relation at all with the tragedy Romeo & Juliet. I don`t really see any reasonable reason why they can`t be together till Sui`s competition against Chu Xing in the last episodes. And the thing i personally felt that was exaggerated was that almost all the guys around Sui fell for her and tried to break her and Liang apart same goes for the girls who fell for Liang (wouldn`t have been enough 1 or 2). This is all :P



Now for what i liked goes like this. The story is unique and out of the usual story line. It`s the first drama that made me anxious in watching the next ep but still impatient for watching it. This was what makes it special. The cast acted great and Ariel and Wu Chun had good chemistry going on there (and i`m not contradicting myself what i said first is true even though Wu Chun played well his role, i had the feeling Mike He would fit better). The side characters where good too and i liked them they where all funny. The music was really good too, especially the op song was really good.



It`s a shame i didn`t watch it earlier (because of the title i thought it`s going to be more like a tragedy and tearjerker so it was hard to bring myself to watch it). Don`t make the same mistake as i did. Just watch it, you won`t regret. Even if it`s an old drama it sure doen`t feel like it! Enjoy!

Minus Wu Chun's hair, this drama was pretty good. This is a pretty typical romantic drama, but I really do enjoy the story about that dress and the struggle the two face. My all time favorite thing about this drama is the opening theme song. I STILL know it by heart and I saw this drama years ago. One of the reasons I like Taiwanese dramas is for their openings, and this is probably my favorite. The acting by Ariel was much better than Chun, but he wasn't all that good... I honestly don't remember the friends and the side story at all. The main story was enough to make me like this drama though.



Don't decide to not watch it just because it's older and the video quality isn't stellar. I think this drama is worth a watch if you have time.
