I really enjoyed this movie. I have watched both Korean and this version, in my opinion I think this is better. First, I think I enjoyed this more because the movie is new, and I really like that they use it to alert the people who we meet through phone apps and stuff. Also, this one tells more about the criminal, about his story.
The movie is good, got me hooked all the time. Lu Han acting was pretty good, I wasn't expecting it haha
The female lead also did a great job, I felt her emotions and pain.
You should watch because is a really nice thriller and action.

After a long time waiting for this, I finally got the chance to watch. If you are familiar with the anime or the manga, you can follow the story and will have a better eye to evaluate the movie, but if you don't know anything about the story, I highly recommend you watch least the anime right now, because IT IS SO GOOD, and you don't know wwhat you are missing all this time.
I was very satisfied with the movie overwall, Chihaya is very accurated, so as Arata and Taichi. And OMG, how not to love Taichi!!! I could feel the same passion for this actor as I felt for the character in the anime, he was my favorite this movie. He is one of the most "real" I have ever seen in a manga, because he is not perfect (this is realy hard to find in a male lead). To supporting roles are so wonderfull too! They are exactly the same as the anime, so the cast was totally very well chosen. Don't get me wrong but I hate when I watch a live action and they change a lot of the story or the cast doens't look like the original story, I know that real people are not like anime/manga, but at least make their hair and style the same.
The music is good, but I didin't end this live action looking for the OST.
I am sure I will be back for this movie whenever I feel bored, because it is very well done.
I also have to say that the moments when they are playing karuta are not boring at all, I find it really interesting how they can make a movie about a card game and make the playing parts so good (I asked myself this while watching the anime too, because I though at first I will think it was boring.) - I love the cards flying and that stuff.
So, if you guys didn't watch the movie - GO and watch it. If you already watched - GO and find the anime. You won't regret it. It is a josei story but it is REALLY good.

Well, I hate to write bad reviews about a drama, but I was really excited for this one and kinda left me disaponted.
I watched because Moon Chae Won was such a nice actress in "Innocent Man" that I was sure that was going to be a nice drama. However, I couldn't feel anything between the main leads, and I am really sorry about that. I found myself cheering for the second male lead the hole drama.
Soundtrack wasn't my thing, The story had everything to be good, but I think it was so much that it became confusing.
For me, the only strong point was the acting: the evil Min Sun Jae was awesome (looked really like a crazy person), the main leads had also a great acting.
If you are really curious, just watch it, some parts are enjoyable.

I've just watched 2 episodes of it but I can say it'll be good. I don't know if you guys have read the manga but I've been following it, and for me its a very good piece of work. I can say that the main girl was someone really irritaiting at first, but you can see her growing up. It is nice to see Shunin helping her to get some confidence when she thought she had nothing. It really gave me some nice feels. In the manga the story is way ahead, so I recommend you to read some if this show caught your eye, and if you didn't like it, you should reconsider it! This is really funny, and even though she looks like a lost and idiot girl, I think in the future we'll see Shibata turning into a nice woman. ;)

I wanted so long for someone subbed this drama! I read the manga and watched the anime, so I knew the story. I really love how Futaba rescues Kou from his own demons. For a movie, this was pretty good. I rather if it was a drama, because then we could see how the characters grow. The development is the best thing about the slice of life manga, so I think this is a bad point, because if you don't know the story maybe you won't understand it all.
The music didn't got my attention, maybe because I was not so focused on it. The acting was ok for me, I loved Kominato's character, even the hair look the same as the anime, but they didn't go deep in the supporting roles.
I think it have to be rewatched... because I already watched twice! Hope you all like it as I did, and if you haven't read the manga and watched the anime: You don't know what you're missing!

I have two different thoughts about this show. While Aaron Yan acting was awesome and I really want to know about his character, I almost fell asleep while watching Alice and the other male lead. I totally lost my attention while it was their scenes. I liked both male leads, nice acting, but Alice, I really hated her, and they had no chemestry at all.
I have watched other Aaron Yan dramas before... but this one, he really amazed me. In fact, I started to respect him more after this. He shows you the feeling of his character, you can see how dark it is. I watched Just You, but in this one, I wish we could have just a drama for this character!
I think the show could have more songs by Lara, because I thought she was good, but I was tired of hearing the same two songs all the time, every single episode.
The Alice and Hai Jie part, for me, was depressing. I thought they were the main couple at first, also because the name of the show. I'm glad that they weren't. Xiu Jie Kai was good playing the nice guy, but I didn't felt engaged about this part of the story. Alice for me is the worst character of the show. Her story was suposed to be mysterious, but I really hated it, didn't caught my attention.
It just worth watching because of Aaron Yan acting, really. I have never saw anything like that, so its good because you can see a side of him that you don't usually see in his romance comedy dramas. He is the best part of the show.

This is my fav drama of all times!! I've watched a lot of them, but this one... is absolutely THE BEST. Ariel Lin, as usual, is the queen of acting. I love her, the way she portrait a woman that is beautiful, smart and sucessful, but also wants to find love. Chen Bo Li, it was my first time meeting him, but he just amazed me. His acting is just so natural, both of them together is just so nice. I love the plot, and caught myself wishing it was longer.
The OST very beautiful, very nice. All the songs are so meaningful, so is totally 10/10.
I've already rewatched it and I never feel tired of it. I think you are going to fall in love with this plot, so as I did.
I just didn't score 10/10 for the story because I wish it was longer, specially the end!

I think this drama is quite good. It has drama and comedy in the right amount.
At first I thought the story was going to be really sad, but that didn't happen at all!
The acting is very good! The leads have so much chemistry... I think Eric did a really good job, because he didn't have a lot of lines, most of his emotions he just have to express by his eyes, that was so intense! Also, all the supporting roles were very funny, specially his noona and his best friend, also Hae Yeong mother - I loved her, and that thing she did with the clothes were sooooo good :'D I am gonna miss this one, totally going to rewatch someday.
The soundtrack is good too, the musics match the moments, howerver, after watching this drama, I never saw movies and tv shows the same way because of the sound effects :D
I think it is very enjoyable, for me it was just lacking a better production. Sometimes the scenes just didn't change smoothly, also the cameras were shaking a few times... But I totally think the story can overcome these.
Give it a try!
