the story of this drama was in two parts. both parts were thrilling with a similar vibe to them yet the second part had more impact. when i heard that the drama was about banks i thought it was going to be some boring thing but no no no this drama had me on the edge for every episode. the sotry, the twists and turns, all the characters in it. the sweet moments between the main couple.

the acting was superb. honestly this drama is an acting powerhouse. sakai masato, kitaonji kinya, kagawa teruyuki, oikawa mitsuhiro was even splendid in this and of course takito's acting. you could even see the growth in some of the characters it was obvious in the acting.

the music is just how it should be. it escalates the feelings however it doesn't make you pay attention to it which is a good thing. drama music should not make you pay attention to it more than you would pay attention to the drama itself.

lastly, i don't think that i would rewatch this drama anytime soon. mainly the high thing about this drama was the suspence. you can't enjoy a suspence drama when you rewatch it definitely not as much as the first time but this drama would definitely have it's good points to rewatching.

this drama's story was slightly common. younger man, older woman love blossoms. unfortunately the chemistry was just non-existent. it was just a good comedy to me and nothing more than that. It is a drama that raises some questions about relationships but other than that it only had to offer the comedic moments. it is an easy watch though, you can quickly finish it and it definitely has a generally good acting. however shinohara kyoko alone can't give this drama a 10/10 for acting. Akanishi Jin was just terrible with a character that has no development at all. if you want to watch something that doesn't really make you think too much and it is easy then this is probably your cup of tea.

The story of this drama is rather interesting andf as a plot rather intriguing with many things that frustrate and at the same time makje you more curious. In the beginning I watched only the first episode of this drama but because of a certain reason I got mad and stopped. However after a few months I decided to let go of my preconception and actually watch it and until now I do not regret it because it was an excellent drama. Deep questions about life were posed and at the same time you were the one who was left to answer them. This drama is definitely for mature thinking. It makes you go deeper than most dramas and it changed my whole views on life and the way we live it. In this drama, even though the teacher is supposed to be the one who teaches, it is the high school girl who gives a lesson to him. The acting in this was simply outstanding by every actor. Fujiki, aya, aoi yuu, narimiya hiroki etc. The music was calming and definitely suit it and this is a drama that can definitely be rewatched. The chemistry was also very good though at the same time the awkwardness was also there and perfectly suited. Somehow you were also becoming part of the story as you see it unfold. It made me want to be part of this drama and slap and punch various people in it.

plot wise this is one of the most outstanding drama specials. The whole plot was so interesting the way the events unfolded from the beginning until the end. You rarely watch something war related that is about the teaching that this drama has. It shows how a whole nation was altered because of war. A truly touching story unfolded in front of my eyes while i watched this in front of many people who though of me as strange for crying like that during it.

The acting in this drama is strong and superb with only Oshima Yuko's and Aoi's falling behind my expectations. The whole cast did great with sho proving that he is not as mediocre as most people say. If you have not watched him act in this, you have not seen his real potential.

Music wise, what can i say, it was amazing, melodic and tearful every time the music played, my feelings were ebign enhanced.

I do not know if i would rewatch this again. this is not a comedy, but i think tha strong feelings that you have when you watch it for the first time, will remain the same even for the second time.

First of all this drama is about a rich woman and a poor man meeting each other and falling in love. This pattern isn't as rare to happen in a drama however the story in general and the funny moments definitely added more points to it for me.

I watched this drama during a time that I wanted something that would make me laugh and it did. I watched celeb to bimbo taro in one go and rewatched it again 2 times already. This drama has something to teach you and it is a rather inspiring one for those who are interested in fashion.

The acting of aya was once again great, I could not find anything annoying to it. Thoughin the beginning alice was an annoying person. Unfortunately everyone's acting was great but the guy's who played Taro. Even the kids did a better job, which is why i gave a 9/10 to it.

The music was light, definitely went well with the theme of each episode. It is an easy watch in my opinion and I did not mind the slow pace it had when it came to the development of feelings. I like seeing and noticing how people fall in love rather than watch something where the leads fall in love out of nowhere.

I think this drama is very good however you must look past the romance in order to see the meanings behind it which do not have to do with "money won't bring happiness" . I think this drama wanted to show that by not being dependent solemnly on money you will have happiness. In my book, this is a "feel good" drama. I do not think that money will bring me happiness but I won't be an idiot who will not try to make money. Money are needed in order to not fall pray to those who have money. This is how i feel. Before this drama, I used to think that money were not important and that even without them I would be happy. However this is not the case. In order to live, money is a necessary evil. However waiting for others to make money for you , is wrong. You have to believe in yourself and work to earn them. This is when you will come to appreciate who you are and what you do even more. Definitely an inspirational drama which is why i give it a 9 overall value.

What can I say. Ai Wa Mieru is one of the best drama specials i have ever watched. aya's role in it shined. honestly I never expected she would do so well as a blind woman. The story as it unfolded was simply heart touching. I got mad and sad and happy, it gave me a lot of mixed feelings and I cried a lot watching this. If you are looking for a drama that will make you think deeply about life then this is probably your cup of tea. Not watching this strong drama means that you are missing out. I have nothing negative to say about it.
The acting was top and the inspiring value of this drama gets a 10/10 by me. The music in it and juri's voice definitely captivated me.

the story of this drama is about a peculiar man who is different from the rest of the world in such a way that it completely blocks any chances of getting married. he meets people, and a dog and through his interactions he ends up making friends. it is a rather interesting plot for the time that it aired :3 however ever since i think various similar shows have been made that are kind of like this one. Like "Saito-san" and "Magerarenai Onna".

The acting was clearly very good in this drama. even the younger one, kuninaka did very well with her role. not excellently but very well. Abe hiroshi was at his excellence though. clearly he was by far the best in this.

I do not remember the music but i think it complimented the scenes in a way and it fit.

Since this is not a suspence drama and such I think rewatching it would still be entertaining. I have only watched it twice though.

i watched this drama in one go simply because i was drawn to it by the theme of it. A woman struggling to be a model at an age where she should not be starting this. It's about the transformation and maturing of hers. From a woman who was simply a servant to her husband and nothing else, she transformed into a butterly by the end of the story. The path to transformation had obstacles and it was not easy at all. It is a drama that teaches perseverence, patience, hard work, belief, kindness, positive energy and poses a moral question to a woman . "what is the role of a married woman" and I think it answers it well by the end.

Acting was very good I could definitely sympathise with fukishi's great acting. not everyone in this did as well as fukishi but I think that everyone did a very good job with the exception of ashina sei and her inability to let us actually know more about her role and sympathize. If you are someone who appreciates good acting, this won't disappoint you.

the music of it was working as an enhancer of feelings.

As far as rewatchign goes. I'd not see why someone would not rewatch at least once. It was an interesting drama.

i watched each episode of this drama twice, first time without subs and second time with subs. the storyline is pretty unique compared to most dramas out there. you don't see plots like that everywhere and for it's uniqueness and sweetness i give it a 10. two females fighting their own demons after coming out of jail, one of them a killer and the other a thief/con artist. both have their guilts , try to live their life without their past shadowing it yet it ends up not working well. it was a very realistic plot, you don't find something like that easily, most drama plots are the same and completely unreal.

acting wise it was solid. the two main girls and the supporting cast did a very good job portraying the feelings of their roles. the hidden feelings, the obvious feelings were there in their eyes, the inner conflicts and the conflicts with the outside world. the true smiles and the fake ones.a realistic portrayal not seen easily. the heartfelt words and speeches brought tears to my eyes.

the music didn't bother and didn't stand out, it helped the scenes and strengthened the emotion , that's what i call 'great accompanying music'.
overall i give this drama a 10 for it's brilliant acting, the almost unique plot and the well developed main characters.

The plot of ataru is clearly strange however there is more to it than just a savant syndrome person solving cases. there is a whole other premise behind it that reveals ataru's history and what he went through. by the end of the show you come to a more clear understanding about who ataru is and what he wants to do and how his childhood was. This drama is not just about the case solving and this is why it was a rather unique plot for me. Sure in the beginning you cannot believe that he can solve the crimes just for that but after you come go deeper in the story then you understand why he can do it.

The acting was superb. kuriyama chiaki is an okay actress but i feel her role in this with her other roles dun have much of a difference. However most of the other actors did a great job with their roles. You could definitely find them convincing.

The music of the drama, i do not remember it and it did not really bother me from focusin so i suppose it was complimenting it. As far as rewatching goes. Once you have watched it all, it would be hard to watch again with the same suspence.

this drama, at first had me watching mainly because i was curious to see aiba's acting, and then the story kind of managed to pull me. Since it's about a bartender who aims to become amazing and a woman who is obviously attracted to him and of course the rival guy who is the classic silent type of character. This drama clearly managed to portray the "anime-ish" feel that it was supposed to have. Generally every episode was about a different glass that the bartender made for the customers of the bar he was working at. The heart warmth he was offering to them by even offering their advice to them was rather refreshing and inspirational in a way.

Many say that aiba did not do great in this role but I believe that he portrayed the bartended very well. Sure he was not perfect, there were still things that needed to be worked on but they did not affect the feelings that you were supposed to feel. Plus, he had a different style of acting for this role than for the previous one. Kanjiya was simply herself like always. Same acting style for every character she plays. She is good but that's about it. Nobuaki , had a role that was pretty much not that difficult. If anything though he was pretty good at making the cocktails and drinks. I think that he also did very good, just not outstanding and great.

The music of this drama was rather addicting. after all it is arashi, i definitely loved listening to it and the soundtracks were rather fitting.

I would not rewatch this esepcially since most of the magic of the drama is there only in the first time , but definitely watching the funny moments or watching again to learn more about drinks, would not hurt.

What was particularly interesting in this drama was the way the cameras & light were handled. It was very gracious and elegant with a warmth to it.

This drama , misuzu kaneko monogatari was AMAZING. Honestly I think that whenever I will think about it I will cry… I was so deeply shocked by how amazing aya’s acting as Misuzu Teru was… honestly she nailed the role and her crying scenes were the best i have ever watched. I felt so conflicted whan watching it the whole plot is sad, it has something optimistic to it yet I cannot help but cry. Misuzu’s story is really shocking. her acting as a mother was amazing…Even the bad person in this guy acted so well that my hatred for him was too strong. It has been a long time since I had so much strong feelings after watching a drama. Some scenes were heartbreaking to the point that i could not stop crying throughout the drama. Bonus for this drama is the pure poetry of Teru. If you want to see a drama that is worthwhile then definitely watch this. I guarrantee it is not a waste of time. As a drama it has the 2nd place now in my top 10.

i started watching this when i was really really bored and during a point that i did not knw what to watch and was like. w/e i'll watch this. it was short too, so i did not mind . however, the extend of how dumb it was clearly surprassed my expectations, by the end of it i simply finished it because i was bored and lazy to start another drama , since even if i did i would have no time to finish it in one day >.> .

the acting was poor. i will not even explain how poor it was, the switch did not even convince me. more importantly the whole "switching bodies" plot device is honestly dumb most of the times that it is used (exceptions: don quixote, since it was not for some silly romantic purpose).

music, i do not even remember it, honestly i doubt i was even paying attention to it. Overall, just dun watch this. it is a waste of time.

This drama was really really tiring. if you have watched it then most likely 80% of the other korean dramas are the same as this. The same story over and over with various drama in it that makes you roll your eyes. when i started it i had no idea that it was 173 episodes. I was conned however because of Kim So eun who i would like to see grow as an actress, i withstood the poor plot devices that have been used for 1000000th time. the acting though was just too mediocre they all had the same style, i felt like i was watching uninteresting actors with the exception of two or three who caught my attention. the music was okayish, however i think the drama was way too draggy, i would not watch it again. the only reason why i stayed to it was because after a while i had nothing else to watch so when the episodes piled up i had something to keep me busy. I would have probably dropped the drama after then 50th episode.
