Finally! Japan shows power action drama! Bloody Monday absorbs all the time and threads, luckily, aren't to much intricate. Of course, my favaourite character is J. - psychopatic, intelligent terrorist with specific sense of humor. I love this role! <3

During the last episodes, when there appeared false K. I was shocked, but when the true intetity was uncovered, I was totally shocked. To be fair, it was the only ony thing, which doesn't suit there. I would like to it will be Otoya and then a terrorist battle between brothers. Ok.. Ok.. It is only my alternative screenplay.

I liked this story, and I enjoyed watching it. It's a little slow in parts, and it's a story I feel that you have to pay attention to fully understand what's going on. The synopsis that's given tells you what it's about. The story gives you a twist in the middle, and some might feel they need to rewatch this movie to put two and two together. The animation they give in the beginning is nice, and then as the story progress's you find yourself wondering what's the connection between her Daddy Long Legs and the woman who's house she's living in.



I haven't watched anything with the main actors before, but I have no complaints about the acting.



Music - There's some music in this movie, but not a lot and nothing that's really significant. The only song I remember is "You're Only Lonely" by J.D. Souther



I do wanna rewatch this movie again, because I feel I'd have more of an appreciation for it now that I know what to expect from it.



Overall - I feel this is a movie worth watching. It's not a comedy, but there's some romance, and, of course, drama. I think it's worth taking some time out if you're looking for something to watch

Ok I really liked the story line, the acting was good but sometimes had an American day time drama feel to it. Especially during the love triangle moments. I liked the side story of the sister. The traditional Korean life made this very intersting b/c it showed a sense of responsibility and duty that most Americans don't have toward their family. I have always thought that having a family that supports each other is better than being left out in the world all alone. This shows some major differences in how ppl think about family and what they consider their responsibility. This drama makes u think about traditional family values and what you believe to be most important in ur life. Enjoyed watching it & I will revisit it later when I want that feeling of warmth that u get from being w/ ur family.

Tsuki No Koibito is the perfect example of a stellar cast totally wasted on a non-existent plot.
I watched it as soon as it finished airing, attracted by one of the best actors assembly I had come across in a long time. And true to their skills, they do an amazing job, given the luke-warm, inconsistent, shallow story they had to work with.
I understood none of the characters. Are they ambitious, serious, romantic, evil, malicious? No idea. They are all a mixture of those. Yes, in real life people are never clear-cut, but instead of coming out as imperfect human beings one can identify with, these characters appear like badly assembled patchwork quilts, behaving in a way one episode, the opposite way in the next.
The only character with a little consistency is Maemi, played by an impeccable Shinohara Ryoko.

Without spoiling the ending of the drama, suffice to know that it was so out of the blue, I could do nothing better than scratch my head in puzzlement.
What happened to that character? Why did that one act the way he did? What are they trying to say? What's the answer to that 4-coins quiz repeated to exhaustion?
All questions I found no answers to.

I can't remember the music. In these cases, I always end up giving it a non-committal 7. It certainly didn't blow me away.

What a pity.
