Even if the summary may be a turnoff for some, Orange Days is a very distinct drama and you'll get intertwined in its beautiful and bittersweet tale. The drama touches on romance, friendships, self-acceptance, life after college, and other topics young adults face today in our world. The drama isn't too serious; it has sparks of humor as well. The characters are brilliant, endearing, and make this drama come to life. Now if you are not a fan of romance or youth drama, this probably isn't your cup of tea, but I still feel you should give it watch a try, watch an episode or two. I highly recommend this drama. If you like romance, youth dramas, or any of the actors from the cast, give it a shot!

Guilty is definitely one of my favorites Japanese dramas from 2010. The acting was superb especially Kanno Miho's performance. The soundtrack was amazing with tracks by The New Classics and JUJU! The show is layered with suspense and mystery that continue to pile upon each other until the last episode. The plot is intriguing; leaving the viewers wondering what will happen next. Unfortunately, the screenwriter failed to have enough foreshadowing for viewers to see who caused the false charge to fall upon Meiko and there were spots of plot holes here and there. For romance fanatics like myself, there is a side dish of it. Overall, this is a must watch for mystery and suspense lovers and fans of Kanno Miho.

The storyline of this movie probably isn't the most original, however, it doesn't stop it from being an amazing movie.



The cast and the acting were exception, and you could feel the chemistry between the leads.



The music fulfilled its purpose.



As for rewatch value, i'm not much of a rewatcher, but I feel like comedy movies like this have great rewatch value.



Overall, I'm giving this a 9. It''s one of those movies which are perfect for times when you''re stressed. Just turn on this movie, and you'll feel the stress go away.

This is one of my favorite dramas, but i've tried my hardest to be very unbiased in this review.



First, the story line is absolutely brilliant. It has many twists that'll keep you on the edge of your seat throughout the 11 episodes.



Second, the cast did an amazing job. The characters had tons of chemistry etc.



The music was pretty good. It served its purpose very well.



For Rewatch Value, generally im not someone who rewatches dramas or movies, but i'd have to give this a 7 because it has enough twists that after a year or so you can definitely rewatch it.



Overall, im giving this drama ten for its relatively unique storyline, wonderful acting, and generally for being such a great drama.

This is classic example on 'Great actor - Not so great show'. Miura Haruma shines as Kotarou. He is able to play two sides of himself magnificently and shows true skill, but the rest doesn't follow up. Maybe had everyone had his acting skill, they would be able to lift this poor story that doesn't really contribute to anything. It's predictable and, well, really boring at times. The only thing that made me watch the whole thing was the transformations from school boy to samurai.

Ofc, it's not only bad. It has some funny moments and some (imo) good choreographed fight scenes (for being amateurs).



It's also a 'moral speech' drama, so you get a moral speech about the incidents from the episode in the end (kinda like Gokusen). And that's good, for those who like that stuff.

If you're looking for something to watch because you don't have anything else to watch, I say go for it. If you're looking for a hilarious drama or an exciting drama with plot twists or some deep meaning, I say go look elsewhere. Imo, it's just Miura Haruma that makes this worth watching, and even if it was Oguri Shun (fangirl, sorry) that just isn't enough. Too many things are missing to make this a 'good' drama.

Hope you found this helpful. :P.
