Friendships, aw!

So I'm finally getting back to this. :)



The "dark side"-scenes were so funny! Hehe, I love this "gang" around Hoshino.

Makio's facial expressions are pretty exaggerated, sometimes it's too much. But overall it's still pretty funny.

The three girls with the cocktails were great, too.



So the fake Mikio will start school, too? Haha, that's going to be hilarious!

The ending was really cute. They're forming a bond. :)

Looking good!

I watched the first episode because of Yoochun and my love for him after watching Sungkyungkwan Scandal. He didn't really have much expression there so watching this one was a surprise. His smile is quite pretty ^^

The first episode has already made a great impression on me as most of the historical parts were really beautiful. I liked the music as well. The two different stories/settings was unique since I haven't seen any other drama do this before (haven't watched much drama hehe)

The past of the two girls was quite sad.. The evil sister and little child played their roles VERY well. :)

Hmm... Interesting...

Okay, well, first of all, I started this drama mainly because of Kamenashi Kazuya (who I must say, looked as fine as always).

When I first read about the drama, I saw that it was getting mixed reviews. The most common criticism was that it was really cheesy and the special effects were bogus.

Throughout the drama I could see what they meant, but I didn't think it was as bad as everyone made it sound... That is, until I got to the fight scene near the end of the episode.

And yes, now I do agree that the special effects were cheesy and I felt awkward watching it.

But it was still fun to watch nevertheless. I actually didn't get bored at all during this episode, which is rare for me (I usually have a hard time sitting through an entire episode without getting distracted).

I think it would be enjoyable to everyone if they had better effects and the monsters didn't look so fake and halloween costume-ish.

I think I'll keep watching it, just to see how it goes.

Bero is cute enough to make up for all the cheesiness anyway ^_^

Ok

The part where the old man/president of sae kang was looking at the bottle made me so sad :( Even though he's meant to be the baddy, I actually felt quite sorry for him. I know Hyunmin is avenging his father but he's killed 3 people in the process (Detective Han, Shin hyo jung, old man giving laptop to Woohyun (forgot his name)) and now his uncle ;-; he's the real baddy.

Also when Jaemin went to visit his father.. :( that part was sad. I hope Hyunmin gets caught in the end (even though he's kinda hot lol) I knew that he was gonna say that Woohyun was also an accomplice!! Saw that coming.

That newscaster girl is really annoying :/ I thought she was cute at first but she's really clingy to the Crazy cow.

Ah that stupid girl!! She bugged his office. And now Woohyun is arrested.. -sigh- >_<

I like how Hyunmin is always a step ahead of them- keep's things interesting.. Let's see how it goes..

some thoughts on direction of plot

There's just one thing to be said about Saewa and Hong Hyesuk(Mrs Kim) - They deserve each other. They're literally cut from the same cloth.

It's obvious where the story is turning to now, and it's going to be another long journey of manipulations and deceptions before people are put in their rightful places(which i'm counting on), but it will be interesting i think.

And so it begins..

In one corner is the arrogant, annoying and childish Murong Yun Hai; coming in with OCD-musical capabilities (not to mention a thing for older women ;)), it's Duan Mu Lei in the opposing corner! Who will win? The ignorant bully or the sensitive yet cold musician?? I can't wait to find out -__*

An interesting start

It's been over a year and a half since i've seen Boys Over Flowers or Hana Yori Dango, which I think helps since this version seems to be a reboot of the story. It starts off with three boys wanting to get expelled, a series of events occur that put them in confrontation with the main girl, Chu Yu Xun, and then the fourth and main character comes into the picture, Murong Yun Hai. The interactions are funny and Yu Xun is that perfect blend of annoying self righteousness and naïveté that cracks me up- a good first episode :))

Nice ending!

Wow, she rejected him! At least in the beginning, but that really surprised me. Also they matured so much, they seem like completely different people. Except for Linda's death I like how this turned out. Giving Haru a cheesy happy end would've been unrealistic with both Doctor and Nakaji. So this was perfect.



I honestly expected another tragedy to occur (like Nakaji or at least his Dad dying or something like that), but I'm glad they left it out. At least one rather positive episode, that's great.



I loved the letter scenes. I always think letters are a nice was to narrate or to do time jumps and it fit perfectly again here. :)



We finally got to see Peach again, too. She kind of disappeared somewhere in the beginning of Episode 10.. :P



I don't know if I should write a review for this. I had so much to say in the Episode Reviews that I don't know what to write.. ^^''

Unbelievable.

I can't believe it. Linda died in this episode and they managed to make it SO undramatic that I didn't even cry - And I normally cry whenever someone dies. Linda was my favorite character and his death was so unexpected, I actually sat there gaping at the screen and was shocked.

Anyway, there were so many tragedies in this drama that they didn't manage to make his death dramatic? Well then they should have left it out! He could have just as well stayed alive if they are going to forget him 10 minutes later anyway. It's so unfair!



The only use he had in this drama was being a counselor and his last wish was to get Nakaji to confess to Haru? Are you actually kidding me?



.. I was so mad I forgot the rest of the episode. I wanted Haru to go with Doctor after all or rather I didn't really care - But I hate how it turned out to be now. Stopping them at the last minute, I can't help but feel sorry for Doctor. And I'm really mad at Haru because I know she'll choose Nakaji. That's a horrible thing to do.



Argh.. I don't even know how to rate this!

Not Linda!

No, no way! I wanted to write "Wow, that was a positive episode for a change.." but guess what?! This drama doesn't have positive episodes!



Not Linda, he can't die. He just can't. I hope Nakaji was in time to save him, I really really don't want him to die. Now that he only needed to tell Nakaji about his boss, then everything would have been okay. He wasn't even hated.

He can't die. :(

(And the blood looked so fake. But Nakaji's worry looked so real that I overlooked it.)

Drama, Drama.

Awww nooo! Finally Linda gets the courage to run away from his boss, runs to Nakaji and of course Peach has to interrupt. Argh, I can't believe it! And Nakaji even figured out there was something between Linda and his boss.. he was so close. I'm so worried. :(



And Peach is getting incredibly egoistical. She's taking advantage of Nakaji being weak, I'm sure she knows that Haru doesn't really like Doctor. And I used to like her, but I don't anymore.



And Doctor is getting on my nerves. He's so nervous and awkward, it's unnatural.



How come they're all smiling on the picture the drama has on here when nothing even remotely good happened yet? ..

much better

This episode was much better. Things start to make sense and previously stiff actors seem to be more relaxed and natural in their roles.

One thing that bothers me: a new haircut of Da Ran - she looks so old now and it was said that In Tak prefers younger women - or am I wrong?

Nevertheless, this was a good episode and I'm glad I didn't drop this drama.

This is becoming a harem.

I think Drama writers really need to learn that no matter how hot a person it, not everybody will fall in love with them. And it's no excuse either that they have ONE character who loves someone else (Doctor in this one). Really, this is ridiculous. I know now what people have been talking about.



And Linda.. he does so much for everyone, but nobody really cares about him. He's someone in the background who has little to no screentime! It's so unfair. He deserves much more. :(



I'm starting to dislike Doctor. Traditional ways of thinking are okay and all, but he can't tell a girl he's been dating for such a short time that she should stop working and marry him. Especially not if he hardly has enough money to support himself and his sister.

His sister is great, though. She's cute. :)
