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.

After watching this drama I understand why this was one of the most popular Japanese dramas of 2012. Oguri Shun and Ishihara Satomi were pitch perfect in their roles. In fact, I felt the lead actors were so commanding in their roles that everything else paled in comparison. I couldn't bring myself to care about any of the other characters. I wasn't even really into the storyline either. However I kept watching because I found the two lead characters interesting so I kept watching because I wanted to find out what was going to happen to them. The chemistry between the two leads was amazing too!

I also really liked the music used in this drama, I felt it matched the drama completely.

Overall, although Rich Man, Poor Woman is a very good drama I would not classify it as a must-see.

To be completely honest, this sole reason I watched this drama was because the leads of this drama got married in real life after meeting on set of this drama. I wanted to see if the leads had amazing chemistry together. To tell the truth, I was disappointed. The leads had a sweet chemistry together but it was nowhere near the level of chemistry I thought they would have.

This story is not at all original either it relies on a lot of typical Korean drama clichés.The acting and music are not memorable as well. The only thing that stopped me from dropping this drama completely was that there were just enough comedic moments scattered throughout the episodes to keep me watching.

Overall, Creating Destiny is a very mediocre story I wouldn't recommend you watch it unless you have 31 hours of free time.

I actually like this special better than the main series. Perhaps the reason why is because the special focuses mainly on the two lead characters and their relationship with each other which was my favorite part of the main series.

There is so much cute in this special and believable conflict too! Often dramas end with the lead characters getting together and often the lead characters have different lifestyles. I end up wondering if two people with vastly different lifestyles can actually live together.

This special shows the after of happy ever after which most dramas don't show us. It provides a realistic and believable answer to my question whether two very different people can live together.

If you are a fan of the main drama then this special is a must see. Even if you weren't the biggest fan of the main drama I still recommend you check it out!

Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge is not a drama for everyone, it's over the top and cheesy at times which is a turnoff for some people. However Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge also is a cute and fluffy pick me up romantic comedy drama.One of my favorite things about this drama is that it doesn't have two of the most popular romantic comedy clichés that you would expect this kind of drama to have.There is no love triangle or clingy second female leads in this drama.


The acting in this drama is also pretty good, everyone acted their part with commitment.Omasa Aya was the perfect choice to play Nakahara Sunako she looks just like her manga counterpart. (From what I've seen from pictures of the manga, I never actually read the manga),

The music in this drama is extremely cheesy or more specifically the opening theme song is I should say extremely cheesy. I cringed and fast-forwarded every time they performed the opening theme song. The opening theme song is used in other times in the drama and it's not as cheesy as it is in the opening, where the leads characters performed on even more cringe worthy and cheesy dance to the already cheesy song.

Overall, In my opinion Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge is a cute and fluffy drama with a extremely cheesy opening theme.
