The story of this drama isn't all that original. You'll pretty much figure out how the series will go and end once you begin. Seen this type many a times.

In terms of acting, I didn't find anyone outstanding. Everyone was just basically mediocre.

Music was good and overall the series is completely and utterly mediorce. A total blah.

I suggest you skip this one.

Story:
Kurosagi is reminiscent of the Hollywood movie 'Catch me if you can', however, the drama's promising start ends in disappointment.

This drama could've been fantastic, but with each episode I found myself forwarding more and more. I also began to be more interested in the love story than the swindling parts. The schemes unfortunately are quite repetitive and boring after the first 5 episodes.

Oh well, at least the romantic aspect was going to save the drama. Right? Wrong.

Acting:
Yamapi's sarcastic approach is great for this role, however, I find that he tends to bring this approach to all his characters. Notice him always using the 'chewing the cheek' approach?

Horikita was amazing as the love interest, but too bad the drama wasn't written well in final episodes...

Also, the police officer actor was really annoying.

Music:
Background music was weird sometimes, but nothing much to comment about.

Overall:
The drama had potential, which went down the drain. Watch to kill time.

PS - Yoshida's best friend is so evil. Can't believe them in the end! "With friends like this, who needs enemies." --> i think this quote applies here.

Story:
Your run-of-the-mill high school story about being unsure about the future, making good friends, and having no regrets. All that blah with a mystery twist and plenty of memorable quotes.

Acting:
I seriously think this drama only did well because of the actors. Without their wonderful performance this drama would've been completely dry because admit it; the story isn't that great.

Music:
This another thing that really helped the drama. The music was outstanding! From beginning to end it was the music and the actors that were able to make this otherwise boring story into the fad that it became.

Overall:
The drama definitely is a good one, but only because of the above stated reasons. Not on my favourites list. Still worth the watch.

Watch it for the exceptionally cute and legendary AKIRA and his list of infamous quotes. Kon kon! ^.^

Story:
Completely unoriginal. Absolutely uninspiring in every way possible. If they had at least shown more than 2 cool dance routines then maybe I'd give higher marks, but they didn't. The side stories are also really boring except maybe the one involving the teacher. The teacher's story gets more interesting. Mind you, don't expect that story to blow you away or anything.

Acting:
Yes... I guess they did okay. I frankly liked the karate girl and girl with glasses best. Everyone else was pretty boring. Although it wasn't completely their fault since the characters don't really change in terms of personality.

Music:
Background score wasn't appealing. Quite forgettable.

Overall:
Pass on it.

Story:
It really is a good romantic story about a guy who just can't seem to get over his first love. The drama starts off really well, but somewhere around episode 6 it really becomes draggy. The final 2 episodes did an okay job of wrapping it up. The drama REALLY is great in the beginning so it's really disappointing when something so promising lets you down in the end... (note satisfaction rating)

Acting:
Absolutely superb job from the main actors, the supporting cast however really do much to contribute to the value of the drama. The main leads really do steal the show. The chemistry between them.. wow. They're very cute together.

Music:
Sounds like some 80s music, but its quite good. I liked the ending theme more.

Overall:
I really do recommend this drama even though it becomes quite average after the 6th episode.

Story:
From the beginning of the serial you know and are told (every episode) that his love for her is doomed to be unrequited. Thus every episode leaves you asking why? WHY them!!!!? *sigh*

Acting:
The acting wasn't really exemplary by any means. They did the job is really all I can say.

Music:
Being a HUGE ABBA fan perhaps really helped this drama get high marks from me. I simply LOVED it! From start to finish the theme song, background scores, and insert songs were tasteful and beautifully placed. I want to give more than 10 points for this section!

Overall:
This drama has made its way into my heart, so you should have a little taste too. I know you won't give up on this drama until you finish the entire thing! :D

Story:
This drama is really about the romance with sports = hockey as the backdrop really. The love story isn't really unique, but what makes it beautiful is the amazing chemistry between the two leads. That kitchen scene = wow!

Acting:
As I said above, the leads are perfect and what was even better was that the supporting cast did an awesome job too! The pre-game scenes where the team gathers are really something else. I even got pumped up to win! Win! WIn! WIN!!!!

Music:
umm, the opening theme kinda made me laugh. I'm not a fan of rock music like that, but guess other folks liked it. I did like the background music though especially the one during the sad/romantic scenes.

Overall:
One of the best sports/romance dramas I've seen.

Story:
Incredibly well developed and told. It had me hooked from the beginning and I'm REALLY hoping there's a second season!

Acting:
This was a cast made up of mostly newcomers and boy did they blow me away! I can't imagine anyone else protraying their characters any better than they did. It felt so REAL!

Music:
Without the music in this series, the drama would've gotten a perfect 10. With the music, this drama is off the charts! From the theme song, to the heavy guitar sounds to the creepy music during the sadist guy's scenes - it was incredible...

Overall:
I want more. Please, I'm serious.

Story:
Yet another tale of a Yakuza/ gang member going to school in secret... Kind of like GTO, but the drama stands on its own.

Each episode follows pretty much the same format, so it can get boring at times, however the comedy aspect of the drama was done very well. If the drama wasn't funny then I wouldn't have given it more than 5 stars...

Acting:
Nakama Yukie did a FANTASTIC job on her character! There's no doubt that she practically carries the whole drama on her shoulders, and successfully too! The supporting cast did a great job too, but Nakama was just in a league of her own.

Music:
Matched well with the comic theme. You'll notice specific characters have their own tunes.

Satisfaction:
If you're looking for a laugh then go to school with Gokusen. You'll find plenty here.

Story:
Bunch of pretty boys being bad until they come across the girl that would change everything. Heard it before? Probably.

Acting:
The guys did a great job modeling, but acting wise they were all average.

Music:
Well done. I love the Otsuka Ai's song, "Planetarium"

Overall:
Meh. I don't why everyone loves this drama.
