Without comparing to the anime, this drama is superb! For the first time, I actually liked the live action better than the anime. The guys in the live action are more handsome than the ones in the anime. I like the guys. They were all handsome except for the playboy guy. I like the girl. I've seen her in previous dramas like Mei-chan No Shitsuji and movies like Paradise Kiss. She's pretty and good. I love the little boy who acts as "dorm master." This drama is funny and worth watching!
