Story:
The concept isn't different considering how many of these dramas there are out there. I wonder if gang/ yakuza/mob/delinquints really do go back to school and do all these things... of course not! Joking. I'm sure some do.

Anyway, what I really liked about this drama was the comedy, which didn't start until the second episode. The first episode was boring, but it was more of a orientation epi so I'll forgive.

Acting:
Tomoya pretty much carries the drama on his shoulders, but special mentions go to the supporting actors - koki, yui, and yuya.

Music:
There was music?! Exactly. It's forgettable.

Overall:
I recommend it because it really is funny. Tomoya's facial expressions sometimes reminded me of Jim Carrey.

Do you recommend it? Yes

Story:
The drama's pace unfortunately is quite slow, however, the romance is really sweet. The scenes involving Kyoko and Take are really cute!

The ending episodes were a disappointment though... It just seemed like they were dragging it out and also the mystery behind Kyoko's character was kinda dumb. I wish it was a little more interesting. Oh well. Their kiss makes up for everything. ;p

Acting:
I'd say the acting form everybody was above average since they were all able to make me like this drama even though it was so S-L-O-W.

Music:
Didn't notice much. I guess it was okay because I don't remember not not liking anything.

Overall:
Go ahead and watch it if you have nothing better to watch. It's a purely OKAY romantic drama.

Story:
Oh the drama... It's full of the cutest and most romantic scenes possible. It's full of the typical obstacles in a love story possible. It's stretched beyond the limit to fill the hearts of all those romantics. Basically, it's all your favourite romance stories mashed into one.

And that's why I didn't like it.

Acting:
No doubt that all the actors did a brilliant job. Rainie Yang was perfect and was the only reason that I was able to keep watching to the end. Mike He on the other hand was seriously boring. Same expressions over and over. The supporting actors did a better job than him. He's a great kisser though. ;p

Music:
The music in this drama is really good. I'll be looking them up. :D Not the opening theme song though. lol

Overall:
I was really expecting this drama to be good since SOOOOO many people recommend it!

I really am disappointed since it's my first Taiwanese drama too. They should've made it shorter because by episode 12, I was tired.

Do you recommend it? Yes

Story:
Watched Freaky Friday? Well, it's kinda like that, but more believable. I don't think made sense. lol

What I mean is that the events that the father and daughter go through are what you would expect any one of us to go through.

There's the trouble with the dad's dead end job and then there's the daughter who has a crush on the soccer captain. Things were going as usual until they ate a peach... that's when the real fun started!

Acting:
Tachi Hiroshi was brilliant in his role! All the girly things he did were so CUTE! His little dances were the best! :D Aragaki Yui was great too, but when she was the "dad" she became too stiff. Still good job though.

As for the other actors, they were effective in their roles too. All their efforts combined with Tachi Hiroshi's wonderful girly acting created a great family comedy!

Overall:
This was a great drama that made me think about my relationship with my dad too. It's a really funny, feel-good drama that was done well from beginning to end. It was short, funny, and sweet!

The story and the chemistry between the two leading actors was excellent! You'll find yourself laughing, smiling, crying, and loving the scenes those two share. It's adorable! So much so that I hope to see these two together again soon!

Rumour is that there's a season 2. Keeping my fingers crossed. :D

Overall:
If you thought Devil Beside You was good then prepare to truly fall in love!

Do you recommend it? Yes

Story:
Psychological thrillers can be tiresome when there's too much serious talking and no action. Liar Game was able to avoid that by adding bits of comedy and wacky characterizations. However, that didn't take away anything from the thriller aspect of it.

Acting:
The Fukunaga character at first annoyed me, but after a couple of episodes you'll grow to love him. He's really funny and WAcKy! Everyone else was great too. I don't think there was anything exceptional about their acting. They just did their parts well, but no WOW factor (hence the 8/10).

Music:
It was apt.

Overall:
I was highly satisfied with the drama! The ending tied up everything very well, so nothing to complain about. /d^_^b\

Story:
Unorthodox plot for sure that explores some of the consequences of being a teen mother.

As the reviewer before me said, the reporter in the drama was really annoying. It made the drama feel unreal at times. Other than that the scenes involving the family members were the most touching.

Acting:
Shida Mirai was spectacular in her role and I thought she far outperformed her older colleagues. The actors in her "family" were great too particularly lil Kenta. The boy (kiri-chan) wasn't good though. A bit too stiff for me.

Overall:
It was a nice drama to sit through since it was different from the usual fare. I thought it could've been a lot edgier though considering the subject matter.

Story:
Absolutely hilarious! They even parody Automn Tale, which is something to watch for.

The drama might be slow at times, but I thought the pace was generally okay. It gave the story a more realistic feeling as if you were witnessing each day of their lives together.

Acting:
Lead actress was WOW! The supporting cast was really good too especially the actress playing Na Jang.

Music:
At first I found the background sounds a little weird, but after a few episodes you get used to it and sometimes I even laughed becasue of it.

Satisfaction:
Overall the drama was really good. It's teh best k-drama I've seen so far. Might've been better if they'd made it a little more concise. 14 episodes might've made it better. Still good though and I highly recommend!

Do you recommend it? No

Story:
Even though the plot is nothing exceptional, the drama still manages to keep you interested because it doesn't aspire to be great. And since you don't have high expectations for this drama, you end up being decently satisfied.

This drama may have done much better if it had better comedy and more romance.

Acting:
I thought the lead actors and some of the supporting cast did really well. However, I was disappointed with the chemistry between the 2 leads. I've seen Kyoko in Boku dake no Madonna, in which I thought she was great, so I was hoping she was going to be good here too...

Overall:
Like I said before, the drama was able to meet my basic requirements. It's not a total waste of time for sure.

Although this drama's storyline is quite similar to many others of this genre, it was the superb acting from actors that sets this one apart.

The Shuji, Kyoko, Sachi, and Masao actors makes you fall in love with their qualities and understand their feelings. I particularly want to point out the actor playing Masao. I thought he was incredible!

So if you've watched most of the melodramas, please don't forget to try this one too.
