So, I've watched the drama without stopping you. All in once. Firstly because it takes no time to finish it. There's 12 episodes of about 20min each. Yeah, I had time to spare. The second reason is because the story is, even though not at all original, always pleasant to watch. A woman with make-up who can become a 17 years old girl... it's always funny to see that. But, as I said, it's not very original that's why I gave only 7/10.

As for the casting and acting... I gave a 8/10. When looking at the plot, I was questioning myself on the quality of the casting. But casting wasn't that bad actually. It was a drama for Mayu of AKB48 and it represents that side very well. The other characters are very nice too. Their acting was very nice to watch. It sticked well with the humour of the drama. Kaminaga Keisuke made me laugh so much !

As for the music... Well, I'm not a big fan of Japan Idol songs. And beyond that, I can't remember of a song which was highlighten or something like that. In fact, I've no idea of what was the OST. That can means that it wasn't very powerful and interesting ? But it's not like I disliked it (otherwise I would have remembered) so I gave 6/10.

I think it's a good drama to watch once. Twice maybe for some parts which are funny... But not the whole many times. That's why I gave 5/10. I bet we can easily get tired of it.

In conclusion, it's a 7/10 that I give to this drama. A nice moment of laugh even though it is not special or original. Simple but effective.

I really didn't know what to expect when I first started this drama. I was so afraid that it would be an exact copy of You're Beautiful...but I soon found out it was much more promising than people gave it credit for! The girl in this drama is much more fierce here than Go Mi Nam but also funny and cute at the same time. I love how she takes control of most situations and doesn't just stand there when being put down. She fits the role perfectly. The male lead is also adorkable! I'd like to think this drama has mix of You're Beautiful and Coffee Prince in it, but in no way is it a total copy!

Anxiously waiting for the next episode! :3

I'm a big fan of Glass Mask, and I love how this drama kept Maya's character close to the manga. The plays are faithfully portrayed , and the journey of the actors looking for the best performance is well done. But the second season is far from flawless :

- They probably didn't want to add supporting role, so they reduced the cast. For exemple, Ayumi got a part for a play she wasn't supposed to act in, which makes the drama look unrealistic because it gives the fake impression that the whole acting world revolves around Maya and Ayumi.
- They added a sub-story and made it the center of the second season, although it didn't even existed in the manga. Maybe it's because they needed a strong second male lead, I don't know, but to me it made this second season look more like a fanfiction then a real adaptation.
- The male lead still had serious acting issues from my point of view...

I also didn't like the fact that they made up an ending rather than keeping an open one.

I watched this drama because I'm a loving fan of the manga since I'm like...12 or something (almost 10years^^)

This if a drama you should watch if :

*You're an aspiring actor, or you just like stage plays and dramas^^
*You like success stories and initiatory journeys.

3 Things I loved about this drama :

- They kept Maya's character close to the manga. Her temper, her naive side, her passion, the way she manage to get a hold of her roles are all faithfully portrayed.
- They gave the plays and the acting lessons all the credit the manga gave them.
- The relationship between Maya and Masumi is stressed as an important part of the story.

3 Things I really didn't like in this drama :
- They added a lot of unecessary drama in a melodramatic enough story.
- They made fake links between the characters so they won't have to cast more actors.
- The bad acting from the male lead .

In short, I really love glass mask, but I'm only half convinced by the drama adaptation. It was better than the 1989 anime, but really didn't match the 2005 one, sponsored by Square Enix^^.

Due to explicit scenes, no minor should watch that movie.

When I heard about this movie, I thought "Tssss, another movie with a poor plot standing as an excuse to say it's not porn". Then I red international critics praising it, so it got me curious. I saw the trailer, and I knew I had to watch it.

There is a plot. It's the tense fight between a rich that seems to have everything since his birth, and a poor that desperatly want to survive without anyone's help. One who fall in love at first sight, and the other who wants to avoid feelings. Who will give up first?

This movie uses silences as a real way of speaking. Since you won't have one useless line, each one is used wisely. Same thing goes for the shots. I really, really liked the way this movie was directed.

I can understand though that this movie isn't for everyone. Personnally, I'm not fond of Yaoi, so I even skipped some scenes

So ofcourse the story would have to be given 10. I dont think i need to explain that to you guys.

Acting/Cast: I gave 8 because there were certain characters i loved and others, not so much.
At first, i didn't like Acchan as Mizuki. Maybe its because i'm such a huge Maki fan. I'm not sure. But slowly she grew on me. I think her acting got better.
Most of the cast was pretty cool. Tomo, who plays Kayashima (Aura guy) was able to portray the same character in a completely different light and gave a completely different feeling to Kayashima. I absolutely loved it!
Miura Shohei's Nakatsu was very Similar to Toma's Nakatsu. However, i still think he was able to bring a bit of himself to the character. Plus, Nakatsu was slightly different this time. He was able to accept things about himself :P

Music: 8. Only because Ikenai Taiyou is an absolutely epic song and that Peach song.. lol.. i remember it being stuck in my head for ages. Flying Get is a really good song, but compared to the original.. hmm...


This drama aired 3 seasons ago. And i've only just watched it. When i saw the bad ratings it was getting, i chose not to watch it. I thought it would be terrible. And i'm not going to lie, i didn't really enjoy the first episode. However, i continued to watch it because of Kiriyama Ren and it actually got better.
I feel that this isn't just a re-make. Its more... Its the same story as the original, but they've presented it in a different way. There are many original bits to this drama too. Even the characters personalities aren't the same. Sano is very different in this. He's more open and kinder towards Mizuki.
Also, i think i may have enjoyed the last episode of this one, more than the original. And that's saying something.

So i hope you'll give this drama a chance and watch the first 3 episodes atleast. Honestly, its amazing. You'll be laughing, maybe squeeling and God knows what else... I'm glad i chose to watch it ^^

the storyline was really good, my favourite characters had to be JB and hae sung(i think that's how you spell it) the whole process of the main girl finding her way to her TRUE dream was a unique story, well at least for me.
i think for the first time acting skills of JB,Jin and si woo they did a brilliant job. i could feel their emotions through the acting.
i gave a 10 out of 10 for the music because i dont really pay much attention to the OST alot of the time but i had to give it some sort of rating. :)
the reason i gave the rewatch value a 5 is only because i dont like to rewatch anything. :P
overall i would have rated the show 10 out of 10 however because i wasn't satisfied with the ending in dropped down to 9. there wasn't really any kind of closure, but i can say it had a better closure than the first dream high.

You would think that I'm exaggerating the scores or just simply click 10 points for everything by coincidence but no!
This is a really great series. It reminds me of Tru Calling but in Japanese style with lots of jokes. We get to know new people and stories in every episodes. The first episode is a bit boring but don't trust it just give a try to the second one! :D I promise you won't be disappointed.
Keiko and Shosuke makes a great pairing in this drama who tries to solve cases because of Keiko's visions. They're joking around everytime. I laughed a lot.
This is an awesome series about crimes, investigations flavored with humour.

I don't know why this series gets only 6 scores. I think this is one of the best Taiwanese dramas. There's meaning of the story. It leads to something very important. It has a history and goal. There's a lot of detail through the series. It's full of fighting, supernatural powers and friendship plays an important role. Every character's got a history and special role. We get know what real friendship is, the connections between true friends fighting together to the end.
I love the graphics and the imagination/creation of fantasy powers and items.
I was laughing a lot while watching the episodes. There are lot of jokes in there :D
