For me this is the best Japanese teen romance story I have ever seen. With a great underlying detective story that we follow episode by episode with bated breath:) I couldn't wait for the episodes to be subbed and actually joined a subbing site just to down load the torrents!

Narumi Hikaru totally seduced me with his bad boy image, as he seduced Suga Mizuho. This is full of eye candy with up and coming Japanese actors I plan to see more of.

And it's short, episodes are only,(well MDL says 30) but I think they are only 25 minutes long.

Anyway Love Love It! it's a masterpiece..watch it :)

This is getting a lot of negative reviews and I just don't get it. Maybe because the cast is young and beautiful they were expecting a sweet romance and they were disappointed.

This was a story about competition, greed and fear. And these actors gave us a heck of a emotional time. I've heard reviewers calling these characters bi-polar but I viewed them as desperate, willing to do anything to survive. There was no good guy vs bad guy. Both male leads did bad things and good things...they were very human. Young Gul was a tad too intense for my taste and I ended up rooting for Je Hyuk of the beautiful soulful eyes. (lol)
I admit that even I was complaining about Ga young..but she is a young character only 21 so her actions weren't unusual.

I liked it..I especially liked the ending.. it was artistic and we are all talking about it...what more could a writer want?

P.S I only gave it a 7 because I'm a rom/com type girl :)

Fun filled fantasy adventure, seriously. I've been missing stuff like this since I began watching Asian dramas.

I loved the characters most in this story where everyone is in love. It was about how they loved and how they acted because of love. Of course there were fancy weapons and magical battles too :D Evan dragons! who doesn't love a good dragon?


And I can't say enough about the costumes. I loved the head pieces. Sure some of the minor characters had bad "cosplay" type attire but lets balance that out with the special effects which were eye catching.

My favorite character was General Wei Liao, he is cute and oh so funny. I would have done exactly what he did if I was him...LOL

What I really enjoyed about this drama was the look at traditional Chinese lifestyle in modern China. They showed us a beautiful old house and explained old traditions that I found interesting.
The story sucked me in and kept me entertained from the first episode, and I couldn't stop watching.
The chemistry between the couple was good and their bickering amused me. I wish there was more romance in it though.
Unfortunately around episode 19 things became very dramatic and deep and the fun went out of the show ( or maybe I was just tired...I dramathoned it) and the last episode was like a Jeep commercial lol

If you want to watch something good, Chinese and interesting this is for you.

A lot of people are scoring this drama as a 9 or 10. I am not.

It's not because of Suzy, I think Suzy is beautiful and fit this role pretty well. Her character was one of the best female leads in an action drama. She was kick ass and yet feminine. Good job on that writers.

And though historicals aren't my favorite,that's not why either...Fantasy is my favorite genre and this had adequate special effects to meet my expectations.

The action...was not a 9 or a 10...it was just okay.

After the first few amazing episodes the story bogged down with the sister and the bad guy for the whole middle of the drama. Things picked back up nearer the end..but you can't make up for 12 episodes of boring.

The main reason I am scoring this lower than others is because I never laughed once...where is the comic relief? There wasn't any. They never once pulled any kind of emotion out of me.(except for lust; Daddy Wol Ryung is hot!) So it gets a 6.

But if there is a second season I will watch it:)

The good parts: Satou , the black ghosts
But the story was supposed to be about Nagai Kei and I just didn't feel that. His character was flat and just went through the motions. The anime is much better and I imagine the Manga is better yet. They got rid of his friend and kept his sister.. probably for that fight scene. Anyway I liked the special effects... there should have probably been more blood, but any more would have made me sick so that was good.
oh yea.. I couldn't help noticing that this version of Tanaka is especially hot. lol That was a little distracting.

I liked Panda and Hedgehog but I didn't love it. The cast is very easy on the eye and the acting is good except for Lee Dong Hae. But I found the back story confusing at first. One good thing is it didn't drag anywhere, the last episode had a few flashbacks but stuff happened so.. good ending.

Now lets talk about the beautiful cakes! who can make beautiful colorful cakes and cookies like that? and how much would they cost? If you could find the clientele you could really rake the money in!
I wish I could taste them!

in conclusion I didn't love it, but I love cake!
