The main reason I watched this drama was for the eye candy a.k.a. Mizushima Hiro and Sato Takeru but even with their combined powers I could not like this crappy drama. This drama is so cheesy and worst of all it features a heroine who is a big Mary Sue. It also features some pretty bad acting but the acting is the worst with the badly portrayed heroine and villain. Although it breaks my heart to say this Mizushima Hiro and Sato Takeru weren't good in this drama either. Sato Takeru was better than Mizushima Hiro as he gave his character some moments of life but they both had better performances in other dramas. The only thing stopping me from giving this crappy drama a even lower score was Mei's classmates, whom I found had more personality than the main characters and I would have most likely enjoyed watching a drama focused on them rather than the protagonists and the villain whom for the most part are lifeless and devoid of personality. The only other reason I watched this was because this was the only romantic comedy drama that Mizushima Hiro played the lead in however, sadly he had zero chemistry with Eikura Nana, the female lead.
The music in this drama was not memorable I didn't hate it but I didn't like it either.
Overall, Mei-chan no Shitsuji is a very crappy drama that I would not recommend to anyone. If you're a fan of Mizushima Hiro and want to see him in a similar role, then I suggest you watch Kuroshitsuji a.k.a. Black Butler, he plays Sebastian, a Butler who is way more bad ass than the Butler he portrays in this drama. If this drama is your first encounter with Mizushima Hiro and think he's a bad actor then I suggest you watch Hana Kimi though he is not the lead in Hana Kimi, he is one of the main characters and he puts on a much better acting performance in Hana Kimi. For fans of Sato Takeru and people who saw him for the first time in this drama I recommend you watch the movie, Rurouni Kenshin he delivers a pitch perfect performance in that movie as the main character. As for Eikura Nana, I have not seen her in anything else so I cannot make a recommendation and I'm not sure I want to see her in anything else after her horrible performance in this drama.
If you want something similar to this drama, then I recommend Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge a drama also filled with hot guys but with better acting and storyline. Also Oomasa Aya who portrayed one of Mei's classmates in this drama portrays the lead character in Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge.
