This drama wasn't that bad. I've never read the manga, so I can't compare the manga to the drama.

This drama is not for everyone. . . Just telling you that now. Do I recommend it? If you like Japanese Comedy or the actors & actresses, then yes. I recommend it.

This is a feel-good drama. The first episode was iffy for me & I didn't get into it right away. This story is weird in a funny way.

The acting was nice. I seen the main girl in Yamada-kun no 7nin to Majo that came out this year & like her. I've only seen the main guy in Hana Kimi Remake & he is better in this drama. Arata is more calmer than Nika is. But it;s opposite & not-so-opposites attract love story. I didn't like Arata at first, but he grew on me. Nika was hard to get use to at first, but she grew on me as well.

The music wasn't memorable, but cute.

I'll rewatch it for the interactions of the cast members.

I kind of like Nika when it comes to her personality, but not to that extent(what & see what I mean). I want to look presentable outside of the house & sometimes just want to watch my dramas/anime/read my books or manga when I'm at home.

Warning: sometime, there will be embarrassing moments in this drama, but it gets better was you watch more of it.
(This is my opinion!)

I love the chemistry between Sho and Maki here and this is the drama I officially became a ShoMaki haha! I thought the concept about the drama will bore me which is about legal stuff but I was wrong. I was able to enjoy the drama because of Sho and Maki. I particularly love the theme song of the drama 'Troublemaker' which gives an enjoyable feel. I also love the fact that Sho's role here shows his not so serious side while Maki is the strong independent woman which is somehow a turn around from the characters they usually play in their other dramas. I would definitely re-watch this drama. I'm obviously a bias about the two main leads but I'm sure you'll enjoy this if you are into the drama's concept and at the same time you want to enjoy and not so into so serious stuff then I do recommend this drama especially if you are an Arashi or a Sho fan.

The first episode may not be the most interesting (especially with the long flashback), but I found that things picked up by the second episode and kept me interested to the end. This drama has definitely made it onto my list of favorites and I recommend that you at least give it a chance.

This drama provides a fresh take on a typical story of someone who is in love with his best friend. I found the story to be told in a realistic manner with its dialogue and characters, making it more relatable. At times you may find Cheng You Qing to be annoying with her strong personality or Li Da Ren to be frustrating with his inability to confess his love, but I believed everything is in line with how their characters actually are and would behave. I do have to say that if you are looking for a story where the couple gets together early on, then this may not be the drama for you. However, this drama has a good overall pace and the ending wrapped up nicely.

Having only watched Ariel Lin in ISWAK, it was definitely nice to see her in a different more mature role and she played it well. Bolin Chen was adorable as the best friend and complemented Ariel nicely. They both did an excellent job and it was enjoyable watching the two of them together.

* A random comment: Ariel’s wardrobe for this drama was amazing and she looked great in her outfits.

This theme of love, loyalty, and forgiveness despite the horrors of war is depicted in a very moving way. The relationship between Tatsuo and Jun-shik evolves from an early age through WWII as they go from rivals to comrades. There was a lot of action and the scenes were constantly changing, so your attention is riveted throughout. My favorite part was the frighteningly realistic section when they were interred in the Siberian labor camp. So scary! The acting was fabulous as well.
My only complaint which kept this from being a perfect 10 was the writing of the last 20 minutes or so. The story diverted from reality into a silly, ridiculous impossible storyline.
I do think the ending was good and fit the theme and storyline.

I found this Drama on drama soft subs site, and checked it out it had decent rating, and many were complimenting the story,so wanted to try it out.

The start was fine, the story is smooth and simple the characters are honest, straight forward and don’t run around the bushes, which is cool.

The male lead's personality is so sweet, and lovable, the girl was natural strong had her own ideas, wasn't stupid annoying or careless,The most annoying thing for me was that some crying scenes felt fake and forced [I said some not all of them]!, the second couple are so sweet I really liked them, I liked the end.

If you are looking for something light, simple, easy to watch straight forward, this is it, Enjoy :)

Anyone in the mood for a decent erotic drama film with a good story at its core should look elsewhere.

The film makes a shoddy attempt at storytelling. A young man seeks to escape from his unhappy, monotonous life by taking refuge in a dream like world. Here he meets a nubile young thing who fulfills all his sexual desires. We're given hints of who these people are, but we never get to know them or why they come to be in the situation they're in. On the other hand, we're privy to their sexual exploits, ad nauseam.

Hear me when I say Dream Affection is pure porn. With a budget.

Given that there's essentially NO story to speak of, I don't even know why this picture was made except to continue the widespread objectification of women.

The acting is lame. It's clear the female lead is probably an aspiring actress looking for a big break. Or an amateur porn actress. Whatever her story, if she has any talent we don't get to see it considering the lack of a plot and the director's obsession with her breasts.

The male lead is only a little better. Dude spends the entire show dazed & confused. Even when he's getting his rocks off.

What a waste of time. Pisses me off that films like these get made when there are brilliant indie filmmakers out there who will never get a shot.

Needless to say, I won't be watching Part II.

I love the fact that the two main actors are both on my favorite male actors list. Park Ki Young and Kim Yoo were great, but I love every moment with Mad Cow and Boiled Potato. Plus i learned a lot about the power of a computer in the hands of a vengeful person. It can be a tool for enjoyment and pain, because we share or hide our deepest secrets on a computer. We make up fake names and identities, so there is no shame or prosecution on what we desire, dream, and have obtained. The music was very appropriate at every high note and mysterious moments of a reveal for secret. I love the detective moments and learned about new devices and programs used in hiding and erasing/cleaning your computer. This drama was very action pack with many losses of innocent lives. So I recommend this drama for anyone interest in a action, detective and drama show that includes So Ji Sub and Choi Daniel for the main actors. YaY!!

I rarely watch, much less recommend romance dramas, but this is an exception. I think this can be enjoyed by everyone regardless what genre of drama a person prefers. It has an "old school" feel to it of something that was made in the 1960s. The story has a vintage, pure appeal to it even as it capitalizes on the cynicism of romance that is prevalent in today's society. side note: I liked Reiko the most.

I know pretty much nothing about Japanese actors. I fell in love with Kitagawa Keiko. Not only is she gorgeous, but her acting is great. Yuki is just as Mamoru describes in the last episode. Kusanagi Tsuyoshi was excellent as Mamoru. I was Mamoru before I met the person I have been with for the last 12 years. I thought I was destined to never be in a long term committed relationship and I was totally okay with it. I really identified with the character and I think that is a tribute to the acting. The other actors were good also.

The music is also great!!! Moon River is one of my favorite songs.

I will probably rewatch this at some point.

I recommend this to everyone.

"SPOILER ALERT!"

Well this drama comes out to have an interesting beginning it will make people to really see the story through out. acting was very good and a lot of sad moments and alright moments. this drama would have been sooo good if they pulled off an ending that will not mind fucked people. if he died at that moment i would have understand and give it a 9 or maybe 10 for pulling off an expected ending and understandable. i mean he has brain damage and got stabbed that is not to be fcked up a seem likable way for him to die. and make people around him realize that he did all that for the love of her life and they don't realize and appreciate of what he's done until he's gone. I'm not tryna to be all he should die but not all fckin drama should have a weird ass "oh they live happy ending". and the most bad about the ending is "7 yrs later" no flashbacks holy sht. like nothing happened everyone lived on their life. what a great ending anyone could think off lets just make an ending with the two starting over and the rest moves on with their life. and who that fck was that little kid girl no explanations leaves most people mindfcked. LOL. i think if not all most people rate series as (70% ending 30% the rest).
its a good drama its just that the ending was rushed, it was poorly executed. ending really for the majority of girls who don't like maru to die LOL. can't argue with that.
