First I was a little surprised because after reading the summary I was expecting a completely different drama. I never watched a Science Fiction Drama before and I was skeptical. Also it seemed so unrealistic that I was wondering if it would be okay.
Still even after only a few minutes I grew so fond of the characters that I continued watching. The story wasn't as important anymore, because I was just cheering for the characters to be strong and hang on.
The main couple had an amazing chemistry and they were really, really cute. But still I liked that the romance wasn't the main point.
I also liked how important the bonds between the characters and their friendship was portrayed. It was lovely and cute.
I was a little disappointed by the ending, but I guess you can't help that with a story like that.
Still I personally rated it a 10 because I couldn't stop watching once I started and that's a rare thing.
I'm recommending this to everyone, even if they don't like science fiction or if the summary doesn't sound appealing. At least give it a try. :)

The story is basically a typical revenge story, but in a way I haven't seen yet. It goes back and forth between the two main characters, keeping the suspense really high and managing to surprise the viewer again and again.
The acting was really good and seemed natural. Everything looked extremely real.
It stayed on the high suspense level up until the ending which was amazing in itself. The title definitely fit.
Overall, a great movie for fans of the genre but definitely not something I'm going to watch again.

Since I wasn't used to it anymore, the acting seemed way over the top and over-dramatic to me and the effects were kind of horrible, but after a while I got used to that again and really enjoyed seeing the characters interact again.
I liked that they focused on the side characters instead of the main couple in this movie. There were really cute scenes in it.
If you didn't like the Drama, don't bother with the movie. :)

At first I thought it was just cheesy, unrealistic, trying to be funny and failing. Then I kind of grew a little fond of the characters because some of them were really lovable and cute.
I decided to go on watching and thankfully the cheesiness subsided after a few episodes.
I liked how it was all about friendship, trying to achieve one's goals, finding solutions to problems together and fighting as a team.
Well, the main point was still love - That's what annoyed me most to be honest. Out of 10 studens and one adult, they managed to create 6 couples - Not to speak of the supporting characters who found their love. Unbelievable..
The music was okay, I liked the dance performace they did at the Cultural Festival, too.
Also they handled the homosexual parts (both between the girls and boys) carefully, so that made many things up for me.
I don't really know what to write about this drama, everyone needs to try it for theirselves. ;)

It is all about friendship and passing obstacles to fulfill one's dreams.
I think the acting was really good and I can't say much about the table tennis parts, but it looked quite well-done, too. The music was there, but not really that important.
Not only the main, but also the supporting characters were really likeable and well played.
You could call this a slow movie, but it's good nonetheless and full of emotions. :)
(By the way: Watch it and see what difference a hair cut can make to a person. It's amazing.)

Well, after having watched the first two episodes there wasn't much "fighting" left because I actually started to enjoy it.
The characters were so different, deep, cute, funny, emotional, complicated and sometimes annoying that I never grew bored of them. Well, sometimes I was frustrated with the main couple but it wasn't bad enough to mention.
The story was unique in a way but not something that has never been done before. I liked this take of it and I think that was mainly because of the characters rather than the story itself, since I'm not a fan of historical Dramas. Oh, actually I strongly dislike them. ;)
The acting was great. Even though Park Min Young never looked, acted or sounded like a man in my opinion - I was so frustrated with it being unrealistic for the other students to not realize she was a girl - everyone pulled their role off perfectly. I especially enjoyed Goo Yong Ha and Geol Oh.
The music was very good and fitting and most of all it wasn't always the same song playing. I enjoyed it, but I'm not going to look for the OST.
I usually don't rewatch anything, but for this one I give it a high rating because I will certainly rewatch some scenes of it. A lot.
So overall I recommend this Drama to everyone (even if the historical aspect may turn you off) and and advice you to not drop it after the first episode. It will be worth giving a try. :)

The story itself wasn't new and most of the characters were a little stereotypical, too, but somehow it was still different.
I liked how people were somehow related to eachother through tiny memories they couldn't even remember, things nobody thinks about after so many years. I loved how the world was turned upside down for a character and the story followed a clear path, a clear timeline and had a steady pace. It hardly ever dragged, but it never rushed either.
The acting was incredible. All the actors did a great job, but of course Lee Yo Won needs to be mentioned seperately - She played 3 roles in this with about 335345 personalities and so many emotional and blank scenes that I was completely amazed by her. She seemed completely in character, no matter which one she played.
The music was wonderful, too. I actually noticed it and really enjoyed it. From Ji Hyun's singing to her parents' CD to the Scheduler's ringtones - Everything just fit perfectly.
Though many people seemed to hate it I thought the ending was perfect and the only fitting one. Everything else would've been unrealistic (I know. This is fantasy.) and maybe perfect at the first sight, but I wouldn't have been satisfied afterwards. I loved it as it was, except one little storyline. But that wasn't important and I cried a lot.
Enough praising, just watch it. :P
(This must be my longest review ever..)

They tried to get a lot of story into very little time, so in between there's pieces missing that could've explained the character and relationship development. Since I knew the manga and anime, I just added those and found the movie really entertaining.
All in all, the actor choices were great and the characters were acted out nearly perfectly. They chose great story lines, too. A little less story with a little more character development would've been nice, but wouldn't have been as action-packed.
I have to say that I really liked the fighting scenes, too! They were really well-done and realistic.
Overall, it's a great movie and every Kenshin-fan should watch it.

The music was lovely and fitting, the stories were marged together and every character had their own story so you could feel with them.
The relationships were sad and beautiful, the actions realistic.
Some things could have been clearer, especially the ending. But overall it was perfect for this movie.
There were some things I didn't like, though. Most of all how they portrayed a gay relationship as something horrible, but I guess that is how people would react.
I would have wished for a happier ending, but I really loved it anyway.

All in all, the characters were realistic. Some of the acting was a little over the top, but that was okay since it was a school drama. I was able to sympathize with the main characters and really felt with them. There was no character I couldn't stand if the show didn't want me to hate them anyway.
The story was great. Some might say it was pretty much about nothing, just showing the everyday life of those kids and the teachers, but for me the friendship parts were so big that it never got boring. Of course there's the school parts, too. Achieving their goals, finding themselves.
The music was fitting, the drama wasn't too slow or fast paced and overall I liked everything. Thinking back of my thoughts about each episode, I liked every single one of them.
I mainly recommend this to everyone who's not too fond of dramas focusing on romance - And actually to everyone else, too. I think this is a drama for everyone. Give it a try.

The actors did a nice job, their pain always looked real. Also the scars and wounds were really well done.
The music (especially the ending song) was nice.
It's not a breathtaking movie, but it's a great one and I think everyone should try it. :)

Still I enjoyed seeing the IWGP characters again so much that I rated it a lot better than it deserved.
The acting was okay, similar to the drama. The music was actually the same as in the drama which made it a little nostalgic. I think it was perfect. Apart from the background music this special had at least two scenes were they should've shortened the songs a lot. Those were concerts.
The story itself was move like a drama episode than a movie. Nothing special to be honest, but it had funny moments and less awkward and embarrassing scenes than the drama - Well, it was only a tenth of the length, though. ;)
I was really disappointed how less screentime the supporting characters had. Especially those I loved so much during the drama. Especially Takashi.
I loved some of the new characters, though. They were cute. It was also interesting to see how other characters developed during the 3 years.
Overall I think this is worth a watch if you're a fan of the drama. If you didn't enjoy the drama you shouldn't watch this, it's the same. :)

I have never read "The Little Prince", but this movie just made me really appreciate the story. I think I will read it to my son.
The acting was incredible, especially Kang Soo-Han's. It must have been a hard role to portray, but he did a great job.
The music was very good, too, though it wasn't really that important.
The movie sequence in the end, an alternation of "The Little Prince" I think, was unbelievably sad.
All in all, this was a wonderful movie that I warmly recommend to everyone.

The acting was great, here I compliment Ayano Go and Kitano Kii especially. I also liked their characters the most.
I think this drama has a storyline for everyone. They managed to fit quite a few different characters into it, even if it is only 8 episodes long. They could have just as well made it longer, I wouldn't have minded.
I really liked the theme song, but apart from that there's not much to say.
Also, the little "interviews" with people on the streets at the end of every episode were very cute.
I'm just saying that everyone should give this a try, even though I know that it's not everyone's taste.
And you should especially watch it if you like bromance. I mean, that's what made me start it. ;)

The first 10 episodes were amazing and I couldn't stop watching. They were funny, entertaining, dramatic and sad at the exact right time. The writing was incredible and I loved all of it.
The second half of the drama disappointed me a lot, though. The story started dragging and it felt like they could have easily put what was left of the plot into 5 episodes instead of 10. Things started to get repeated and the characters' actions frustrated me, episodes went by without much happening and I had to fight my way through them at times.
Still, I overall really liked the story. I think it was more a pace-problem than a story-problem.
The acting was phenomenal. The main actors did an amazing job acting two roles at once, everything seemed natural and I really felt like they were in character the whole time.
The characters themselves were interesting, entertaining and nice to watch. I liked the side characters, too. (Except for the second half of the drama where they got really, really clicheed.)
The music was nice and fitting, the scenes were beautiful and I'll definitely rewatch parts of this drama, too.
After watching the second half, I actually didn't want to rate this better than 8, but thinking back to the first half of the Drama I would've rated it a perfect 10, so combining them I'll just take the middle-way.
