This is an awesome drama! The storyline is exquisitely splendid. The acting was very, very , very well done. Hands up to the cast especially Shin Ha Kyun. His crying and anger scenes are really a pleasure to watch. Choi Jung Won was fit for the role. Jung Jin Young was great as well especially in the scenes that portrayed his pain and solitude. The emotions and the message of the drama was very expressed well. As for music, it was average. However, to me, the lack of great music didn't make a difference. I was too engaged with the plot to notice about the music. Another great thing about this drama is that its sweet and doesn't abuse the use of flashbacks like other k-dramas. Thank Goodness. Due to this, the scenes feel less cliche and flow nicely. The cons of this drama are only two. First, the ending was so ambiguous, I didn't know how to interpret it. Second, I wish there were more scenes depicting and developing the relationship between the two leads. It looked like only one side of the romance was more expressed. I recommend it to every type of audience and I especially recommend it to medical drama lovers.

Now, the movie itself is not solely based on the main character's love story. Lee Min Jung hosted a 2hour segment on her radio show and what I like about it, is that it has incorporated stories of the listeners, w/c technically how a radio station works. I was deeply touched by the stories on the radio show, especially the one coming fr the cab driver (and if u want to know. i suggest u watch this movie...)

The acting was very good.

As a music lover, the collection of songs in the movie are beautiful and it contains a story that each of us can relate to.

Overall, I gave it an 8 and I rarely give a movie a score of 8, w/c means I enjoyed it a lot... A must-see movie. :)

This drama is great! So beautiful, so touching, so sweet.. I love it!

Story: the story is wonderful, romantic, and dramatic. It's touching, so real. We can find love, true love, this kind of love that stay with you for life. For life, and after.

Acting/Cast: oh, God, Vic is amazing! He's perfect in this role, he's perfect for this kind of roles! He makes me cry so many times.. Eun Hye is really good, too. She plays the role of this little sweet and strong girl, and she can play it perfectly without say a word. Her eyes talk for her.. The rest of the cast is perfect, they're good actors, from Megan Lai, to the stubborn Andy Hui, to the funny Lin Mei Xiu. Thanx to all for their performances!

Music: touching, every song is perfect for the moment and for the emotions our lovers are living.. Beautiful the scene where Eun Hye/Shen Shen sings using sign language.

Rewatch Value: absolutely, I want to rewatch it!

Overall: this is a 9! A different final maybe could turn it into a 10.. But, I know, in the deep of my heart, that this final is a perfect final for this perfect story. This love story is absolutely THE love story.


"For the martians"... I know, we are a lot in this world. I hope we can find soon..

i simply loved that they showed us their whole relationship from when they where in school, and uni even when they got married to when they started working, i also loved that you see and feel their ups in down in their marriage.After watching this drama i felt so sad yet it was a good ending...Truly excellent i wish there was more dramas as so.

2015 update rewatched
i still love this drama so much but i can now see why in 2015 people may find it long or the 'bad acting' to be tiring. this drama will forever remain unique to me just because we see the main romance bloom so much and this drama hardly follows most drama templates (the only one is the facts shes dumb and hes smart).////// the last episodes always gets to me :(

if you are bored, you have nothing worth doing and just want to watch something because you don't have any will to do anything else, then this could be a choice...

the characters in the movie are quite good and can be laughed at most of the times.. the interactions between the two main characters are just perfect and will make you want to watch it till the end (in the first minutes I wasn't really captivated by the characters and thought it wasn't worth watching but then i got hooked on it, and found it quite amusing xD)
the plot is quite nice as well (nothing of a big story, mostly simple and enjoyable), just some imperfections of the production throughout the movie but it can be ignored :)

the movie is quite hilarious in some ways- mostly comedy, including some fighting scene
some of the scenes reminds me of overdone comedy that you can see in japanese live actions and taiwanese dramas

but apart from that i still laughed and giggled away~ if you like period drama and want to laugh a bit then watch this~ XD

1-The reason i watched this : i watched it because it's the adaptation of one of my favorite stories "Itazura na kiss", i'm a huge fan and i watched this drama right after finishing the anime, it was the first drama adaptation that i've watched before "Playfull kiss" and "It started with a kiss".

2-Storyline/plot : They even changed the original manga story and didn't follow it plus it was short that i couldn't get the time to fully focus on it.

3-Acting/Cast : the female lead was totally an unforgivable choice, she ruined Kotoko's image in my mind for a while, she's so annoying that i end up not feeling sorry for her when Naoki treats her bad. The rest of the cast wasn't bad and i believe that the lead male was good.

4-Music : Fair enough

5-Rewatch value : people who liked it will rewatch others won't: it's as simple as that.

6-The ending : It was kind of rushed; it happened so quickly but it's not a bad ending.

7-Overall: I was kind of disappointed in this drama adaptation, it doesn't suit the huge size of Itazura na kiss. I believe that out of the 3 other dramas adaptations the japanese version was the worst yet seing Itazura na kiss's story all over again totally worth watching so no regrets.

1-The reason i watched this : i was so bored then i found this movie so i decided to watch it in a try to cheer up but i end up getting even more bored, i was mostly attracted by the numerous stories .

2-Storyline/Plot : At first i thought that the story of the movie is going to make me love it since it have 5 diffrent love stories in summer but i was wrong i end up hating it, i usually fall for movies with numerous stories but this movie's story wasn't that good it was fair not the kind of story that will grasp your attention from the first moment.

3-Acting/Cast : the only strength point in this movie; it got some great actors that knows how to deliver feelings.

4-Music : i don't actually remember it so it got to be that bad.

5-Rewatch value : i couldn't stand watching it once and kept skipping some parts how about rewatching it i must be crazy if i do so.

6-The ending : the kind of ending that everyone want to see, i was expecting it anyway so there isn't much to tell about it because i hate it when i expect the ending and it turn out to be the same as my expectations. I was hoping that they will surprise me or something yet what i was anticipating actually happened.

7-Overall : i won't say watch it or not because that's up to you but if you're bored and looking for a movie to cheer up please avoid this movie, i really regret wasting my time on; it so not worth watching.

1-The reason i watched this : i was randomly going through Tv channels and i accidently found it, at first i wasn't interested then i just couldn't get my eyes off the screen.

2-Storyline/Plot : Totally loved it, i mean there were an unusual story; it's true that it's a historical-action story but it got a lot of twists, feelings of love, hate, betrayel, injustice and many other things that keep you hooked up for the hole time and what i mostly loved about the storyline that it got a lot of versions for the same story; just so creative in my point of view.

3-Acting/Cast : I liked it somehow and of course Jet Li being the lead male is the strength point that made me watch this; i just love his acting even others were cool, not bad i guess.

4-Music : the normal historical music that you find in chinese movies.

5-Rewatch value : I guess it won't be that good to rewatch it since you already know all the important twists that made this movie intresting.

6-The ending : Didn't like it but didn't hate it either, i just kept watching silently without any reaction, i guess i was expecting that kind of end from the moment i started to watch the movie.

7-Overall : A nice movie that deserve to be watched specially if you're action-romance-historical fan. I have no regrets even though it wasn't Jet Li's best movie but like i said it worth watching.

This is the first time i ever write a review without seeing the whole drama and hopefully the last. But by episode 12 i can say that there is nothing that can salvage this. The remaining 4 episodes have no chance of changing my opinion towards it.

**I have seen the other reviews people giving this a high score(10? really?) are not being objective what so ever. Even if all you want is eyecandy there are a lot better dramas out there.**

The drama starts out well i have to admit the first two episodes are quite well done(except for the weakish acting) but after that everything gets out of control.

The drama becomes very underwhelming. The person who wrote the script didnt really know what he was doing. The whole concept lacks direction and its all over the place. The story development is horribly paced and full of repeated scenes. On top of all this the VERY mediocre acting doesnt help either.
Not to mention the fact that for them to mistake the main character as a male they probably would have to be braindead.(I know this is a drama and dont have to be realistic but its impossible to overlook how obvious it is when you can see her chest stand out in multiple scenes and they still dont realize, its very badly executed)(Just check out Coffee Prince that should be the standard.)

The cast for the "junior" group is beyond awful. Their acting and even the characters itself are boring , and they dont stand apart at all. Plus they hardly have personalities themselves and all of them act like a 14 y o in the drama.

Where "You are beautful" and "Coffee Prince" are superb dramas and tell their stories like a pleasant warm summer breeze. This drama is like a car you lost control of on a winter road sliding towards the edge of a cliff.

I adored this drama- its was incredibly well written and kept you guessing until the very end. The plot is very intricate and would need full concentration otherwise you may miss something- however, with a drama this well executed its doubtful your attention would stray. The story is flawless, which is why I give it a 10. The pacing was perfect and gave you enough time to make your own judgements on everything and then leaving you utterly surprised at the twists and turns of the plot. While the series is fast paced the time given to each small arc is paced well and you don't feel like its rushed.

The cast is perfectly chosen- the acting is superb and the cast is incredibly in tune with each other pulling off any scene with ease. There were 3 actors who really made this show perfect for me- Miura Haruma, Satoh Takeru, and Narimiya Hiroki. I would like to especially mention the latter at his portrayal of J was chilling and so well acted I was almost rooting for the character just because I wanted to see more of him. The cast is a perfect 10 for me!

I admit I didn't really pay much attention to the music- however, the bits I did pay attention to were incredibly well executed and I saw no fault with it. With some shows he music can be a distraction and with Bloody Monday I barely noticed it which to me indicates how well it actually fit with the show. So I give the music a 10.

The rewatch value I would also put at a 10, because while there is a second season I will be watching this again.

Overall, a flawless and spectacular series!

A story of young love between two boys. Bittersweet, funny, exciting, tragic, dramatic. Very light and very entertaining. Both boys are incredibly handsome and the challenges they face because of their 'forbidden' love makes for an exciting movie.
The film is not for everyone, and it requires an open mind to really appreciate what the boys have to go through - the negativity of their fellow schoolmates and the difficulty of having to deal with their own emotions. The pacing is soothing and quite cozy. It enables the viewers to get into the emotional roller coaster of what's in store for the lovers.
Highly recommended to those who believe that love knows no boundaries.

Here's a little overview of why I watched this drama special and how involved I am with the whole Detective Conan Anime/Drama. I've seen around 630 episodes of the anime so far, and I've seen most of the 2011 Drama Series and this drama special. Needless to say I'm a big fan of the show in general so when I saw a new drama special I jumped on the chance to watch it.

Story 7/10: The two cases were pretty cool but not extremely great. Seeing Heiji and Kudo in action together was awesome. That's always my favorite part in the anime movies that involve Heiji. Unfortunately, since Kudo is not a kid in the drama special, it was impossible for the cases to be really "meaningful".

Acting 10/10: They all played their roles flawlessly. I didn't notice anything that bothered me so 10/10.

Music: 7/10 The soundtrack was good....but there was only one song in the entire 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Rewatch 3/10: I really don't rewatch movies or dramas. I have rewatched some of the Detective Conan anime movies but only because those were spectacular. This one..not so much. I won't be rewatching this.

Overall 7/10: This is great for Detective Conan fans who have nothing else to do or are waiting for the next episode of the anime to get subbed or the next chapter of the manga to get translated. If you've never heard of Detective Conan, you probably won't enjoy it too much. Or who knows, maybe you will? Just know that...There is only one truth!

1) The reason I watched this: Surely because it's the 2nd season of "It started with a kiss". I was so happy to find it since I got the chance to continue the story.

2) Storyline/Plot: The continuation of the story and like the 1st season they followed the manga; this season had many important events along with many side stories; cute, romatic, sad, happy,heartwarming moments: it was all there.

3) Acting/Cast: In the first season's review I gave it an 8 but this season I gave it a 9 simply because this season's cast risen and there were cool actors especially those nurse team so cute^^ I totally loved all of them.

4) Music : Just like 1st season's music; it was nice.

5) Rewatch value : it totally deserve to be rewatched over and over again.

6) The ending : I felt sadness when it ended not because it was a sad ending but because I bid farewell to "Itazura na kiss"'s story; there was a total blank after it ended.

7-Overall : Well, I believe this is the best adaptation of Itazura na kiss comparing to other incarnations, "Playfull kiss" was nice but it was short and didn't continue until the end.
Between 1st and 2nd season there have been 50 episodes but I still want more. Apparently, The 3rd season's rumor isn't coming to life but i will never forget this drama : for real it's one of the greatest ever!
