The story starts oddly between the new girl at school and the most popular/handsome guy in school which is a total playboy. I think the story line jumped ahead so many times it was hard not to cringe all through this drama, it repeats itself so much it's not even funny but to make it clear this drama is underwhelming overall. The main of the story seems to revolve around the 2 main leads but there is so little background story to the characters in general, the male lead wasn't given much of a background and the female lead had a bit of a good background story that if used properly it could have been a great part of the story line but who needs to follow that, right? It's not like the story will turn out crappy... oh wait, it did. If you're looking for something to fill in your time in between dramas or just waste time give it a watch, but if you're looking for/expecting a good drama out of this it is not and it's in no way, shape or form anything like Hana Yori Dango or Boys Over Flowers or any of the relative titles in any given remake of said titles. This is just a simple story gone bad, the only reason I finished it is because the actors were kinda handsome and the girls weren't totally terrible. WARNING: If you do watch this you will face endless cringing.
Also, I watched the last episode without subs, so I can only guess from what I saw a lot of what happened other than the very few words I do understand in Japanese, but the ending didn't make much of anything better overall it's something that could have happened 5 episodes back and saved me the all the nuisance of watching the same thing over and over in a different way.
I wouldn't re-watch this at all, ever. But I am obliged to mark something down on the ratings. The music wasn't bad at all, the acting was pretty stiff and I can't for sure say it's the actors because it could also be the way their characters were written. The story had the potential to be a good story but the writer just went in circles with the idea and turned it into a cringe annoyance fest.
