If I remember correctly, this was one of my first dramas EVER (I got into jdrama before kdrama). I watched it after I watched the anime and I remember being addicted and really impressed.
The story line was nothing much and but it was entertaining and should be because the screenwriters have the manga/anime to reference as well as plenty of time to cover material (unlike a movie). You can really tell that it was based on an anime and although some people might think it's cheesy, I love it. Ten episodes went by really quick and every episode was great. I love how the romance was boosted in this version!
The acting and the cast was probably the best part of this series. Oomasa Aya did an exceptional job with the character Sunako. No complaints from me because she stayed true to character and I can't imagine another Japanese actress pull off this Sunako's err... unique personality :P. Of course, Kamenashi Kazuya is such a great actor and obviously he could pull off an amazing Kyohei, looks wise as well :3
As for music, I only remember the theme song that I was obsessed with for weeks. Kat-tun was my first jpop group and this was before I even found out kpop (or even drama) existed (i found out a couple months afterwards, thank goodness). Love Yourself~~ People thought it was kinda creepy hehe, but it was my jam *plays it right now*.
I'll probably be watching it again soon because it's just so fun. I love live adaptation of anime/manga for this very reason.
