I'm a huge fan of the original story, so when I saw that there was a drama version of Mirai Nikki, I knew I needed to watch it right away. It took me some time to finish it, not because the drama is long, but because during the first episodes I was kinda disappointed and a little bit bored. I mean, I really, really, really loved everything about the anime and the mangas, so I was hoping to see something like that.
As someone said in a review, too, the story is the same, but different. And even though in the first five episodes I was just watching because I needed to see what they would do with it, after episode six I couldn't stop watching. After watching (and loving) it, I think I can say I like the drama version more. Yeah, I feel kinda bad for saying it, but it's specially because we can identify ourselves with the main characters, more than we could with a psycopath Gasai Yuno (even though I FREAKING LOVE HER) and a boring Amano Yukiteru.
It takes you sometime to fully understand what's really going on, but I've experienced a mental breakdown starting from the second half of the story. I think it was terribly well done and it surpassed my expectations. Actually, when I was starting episode 6, I was thinking about what score I should give to this drama: "Well... I think I can give it the same as Boys Over Flowers... it's entertaining" AND THEN, oh my, I so regretted it.
My main problem with Mirai Nikki, though, was the acting. I mean, they ARE good actors (specially Deus, LIKE, SERIOUSLY), but the emotional and touching scenes would've been more intense if the acting was better. It annoyed me a little bit, yeah, but I don't dislike the drama because of it.
The music is, well, we only have two, three songs? They're great, but after some time it got a little bit repetitive.
All in all, I completely loved it - it may disappoint you if you're a fan of the original manga and anime, but I think I liked it so much because it surprised me. I won't say it's not good just because the story is not that alike to the original - also, I think the drama is less confusing, so that's a plus.
I only had a personal problem with the ending, but that's a pet peeve of mine. Don't mind me, just watch it. :D
