Having never read the book, I actually enjoyed this movie. There were times when it was slower paced, but the music kept me glued to the screen.

The overall story line was really cute. There were interesting bits of cinematography scattered throughout. The chemistry between Matsuyama Kenichi and Horikita Maki seemed so tangible, and at times frightening. I loved the relationship between father (Watabe Atsuro) and daughter as well.

Now to the bad, there seemed to be a big disconnect between the "foreign stars" and the Japanese cast. I felt like the scenes with Anton Yelchin and Emma Roberts were forced, and I HATED how some scenes the Japanese cast seemed to be dubbed over. I'm okay with a little "Engrish", I prefer that to robot English. I would literally cringe.

That being said, I also hated/appreciated how much English was spoken. At times, the English was really awkward. Particularly the parts of Yuya and Kenichi, but I was happy they were dubbed. Bittersweet...?

Overall, I really enjoyed this movie. It had me looking up the soundtrack, director and the author. I would definitely recommend to watch this, even if it's to laugh at the ridiculous English dubbing.

As a fan of the first season, I had high hopes for this drama.

To start out, I really enjoyed the first few episodes. I would start to lose interest, and the writers would lure me back in with love triangle(s) and the like. However, I have some real bones to pick...

I feel like this drama was about 4 episodes too long. The plot line started to get really diluted, and I couldn't even keep track of what was happening. Early in the drama, it was obvious that there were 4 main characters. I wish that they wouldn't have wasted the viewers time with the others (I realize this won't be a popular opinion). Frankly, I didn't care for the secondary cast (especially the teachers--minus the guidance counselor). In saying this, I just wanted the 4 mains to be fleshed out more. I wanted to know more about Lian and JB.

I didn't know who to root for concerning the JB-HyeSung-YooJin triangle. I could see Lian's frustration. Yeah, Lian was a nasty jerk-- But at least she wasn't annoying. I thought JB and HyeSung were cute, but then I felt bad for YooJin. I don't know, I just feel as though I'm ranting.

I just felt that certain story lines were really muted. The ending felt really rushed, and didn't make a lot of sense. I stuck with this drama because every time I felt like dropping it, they would give me a little ray of hope. I'm very confused by the ending. And disappointed.

:P
