Reviews

I'm not quite sure how this review will turn out once I'm done, because I'm not 100% sure what I feel about the drama. I liked the idea of the male nanny, so that was what made me watch this. The first episodes are funny and entertaining, but stuff get a little messy after that (or at least as messy as this drama can get - it doesn't play any of the situations out at all). The drama has a serious case of split personalities. The first story is cute and family based. It's about the male nanny coming into a family and taking care of the children and the hardships that brings. The other story is about a modeling agency, run by the children's aunt, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the original story. It's a world of it's own with characters and affairs that doesn't relate to each other what so ever. Only in a few scenes do characters from the two worlds (except the aunt) meet so that the audience won't remember it as two different dramas.



The music is okayish. None of the songs made me open my eyes and think 'Oh, I need this song!', but it wasn't annoying either. At most times it just fit well with the scenes, but it wasn't remarkable.



Although the story got a little flat near the end, it was never really boring. It was just... there. It's not the most entertaining drama to watch, but it doesn't in any way require effort. It's a typical laid-back drama.



I was originally gonna give this drama a 5, but I'm a sucker for cute endings.



6/10

Awwwwwful!!! I liked the concept, but the execution was awful. Ladies go to these esthetic salons in order to receive treatments and be doted on by the all -male staff. These treatments vary from weight loss to skin care and general health. It sounds all good till you watch it, the plots were confusing and the characters never seemed to mature. The whole drama felt forced and nonsensical. I didn't see the big deal about the lead girl and her weight; it seemed completely fake, like someone purposely sticking out their stomach. The male lead was dry and completely boring, while I didn't think the female lead was cute at all. She was especially not cute enough to garner the attention and affections of the cutest guy in the whole drama. I left the drama feeling like I wasted my time. Sad face.

I'm not quite sure how to review this show. It's so airy and fluffy that it could be carried away by the softest breeze. If you drop it in a pool of water, it wouldn't make a single ripple. It's the most drama-less drama I've ever seen. Does that make this a bad watch? No, not really. It just is what it is: a light family comedy with an extremely bland romance. The acting isn't stellar. The Manny himself is such a nice piece of eye candy that you almost forget that his character is flatter than a sheet of paper. The children were adorable, and have me slightly convinced that having one or two wouldn't be so bad, if only for the free labor (What? I don't like doing chores.). This drama was basically set on cruise control, and while many might not find much excitement here, I enjoyed letting my mind kick back while watching this.



If there's one thing that frustrated me, it's that Manny had the elements of a much meatier drama should the writer have chosen to exploit them. A man taking on a traditionally feminine occupation? Hit me with some gender discourse! A good looking younger man living with not one, but two older women? I'm aching for some sexual tension! A deadbeat father trying to nudge his way back into his ex-wife's life? Let's connect the dots for this love triangle! Unfortunately, the drama consistently took the path of least resistance, opting to neatly resolve and put away the problem of the day by the end of each episode and imparting Mary Poppins-esque pearls of parenting wisdom. No, seriously... The writers even had the Manny answer viewer-submitted parenting questions at the end of each episode.



In short: This is the first drama I've watched so passively. However, at the end of a stressful week filled with work and classes, I looked forward to unwinding with this show, and I have to admit that there's value in that.

The story is unique and original, I mean owning a human as a pet? Definitely odd but sounds like it'd be something interesting and funny to watch right? I loved every minute of this show, beginning to end. It's a cute, funny story that makes you wish MatsuJun was your own personal pet :P



As soon as I started watching it and saw Kato Koyuki as Iwaya-san I recognized her from her role in the movie "The Last Samurai." Considering the story, I wondered how she would do in such a show, but I feel she did a terrific job with her part. MatsuJun as Momo was just too cute. This is the second drama I've watched with him in it, the first being Hana Yori Dango, and he's the main reason why I wanted to watch this show. The two of them together make a great team and do really well together.



The theme song to the show, "Darling" by V6, is really catchy and I liked it.



I probably will watch this show again someday (:



Overall, I think this show is worth watching and a MUST-SEE for all Matsumoto Jun fans!

The only reason i watched this drama was because it had soccer in it, and i'm a big fan of soccer. Now if you're watching it for that reason alone, it'll probably be rather disappointing since the soccer in the drama is very minimal, and rather predictable. That being said, I enjoyed the story of the drama even though it was rather generic of Sports Romance Comedies. It felt like Invincible Lee Pyung Kang, except with Soccer. The acting was terrific and even though an idol played the lead, he did a great job. The music was actually surprisingly good. As for rewatch value, this isn't that spectacular of a drama that a person should rewatch. Overall though, I don't regret watching this and in fact, I quite enjoyed it. I finished it in just a couple of days which is unusual for me (as i'm usually a slow watcher).

First, I absolutely didn't want to watch this because of it's cover. The guys look really gay like this and I supposed that it would be boring. One Day I thought I should give it a try. It was great and I wasn't disappointed at all.



In the first few minutes I haven't expected much and I thought that Wataru is something like a producer. But after I saw that he is a more interesting character than I thought, I fast changed my mind.

Also Kiyama (my fav.) who doesn't seem to talk to the others . He looks like he has some secret.

Even Kaneko had an interesting story and Mizusawa who was just random in my eyeas had something I haven't expected at all.

There is also Satoshi, a nice guy who cheers everyone up, the amusing teacher Kashiwagi, and all the other great characters.



I just like the theme song: the music itself is great and the lyrics really match the story. The background music (Tumbling OST) is very good, it has sad and also funny melodies.



I never can see if the acting is good or bad but I suppose that it's also good.



Rewatch value: 10

I'm not the type who rewatches series but there are scenes I watch over and over, just like some episodes (the 1st and the 4th for example).



All in all it's a really good Drama and I highly recommend watching it. If you like romance you might be disappointed, BUT you can see the characters evolve, which is also very interesting.



I don't like giving a full score in all categories but I think I don't have a choice because in my opinion I admits it.

Story- Had an interesting story idea. Started off strong and in the middle got really good. Towards the last couple episodes everything got repetitive. The ending was happy.



Acting/Cast- Okay so I love Han Chae Young as an actress in DElightful Girl but here shes seems to fall flat. I also think she just had an okay chemistry with Jo Hyun Jae. nothing to make me wish they were never apart. Speaking of him, I loved him in 49 Days but here he is nothing special. I actually preferred Lee Chun Hee. He was just so cute and his love for the female lead shined through more than JHJ's character. The little boy was too cute!



Music- Very creative as most of the songs featured had the words "only you" somewhere in the lyrics like the Title of the Drama. There was also some funky music involved during scenes.



Rewatch- I don't think I can rewatch this because of the last episodes and because of the lack of exciting chemistry among the leads.



Overall- This is an ordinary drama to watch once if you finished all the other amazing dramas out there.

'Thank you' is one of romance/sad type of drama that manage to gain my attention. The drama is full of heartwarming story. I love how the main character(Jang Hyuk) changed from a cold-blooded person into a warm heart person throughout the drama.

The drama also filmed in an island, which is breathtaking to see a wonderful scenery, instead of the hectic Seoul in most drama. The drama also filmed in a real house, they didn't filmed it in studio, like other drama did. So, it feel more natural and real.

Before this drama, i never like Gong Hyo Jin as an actress. However, this drama changed it, she managed to prove to me that she is a good actress.

The music also fit into the story. I like the main song titled 'Thank You'. It really describes the emotion of the drama.



I recommend this drama if you are a fan of Jang Hyuk or Gong Hyo Jin.

Also if you are a fan of heartwarming drama, this drama will definitely touched your heart.



What I like from this drama?

-the development of main character, jang Hyuk from a cold-blooded person to a warm hearted person.

-the scenery

-the story of the HIV kid

-the OST

-the love story of the two main characters

Totally loved the story and the actors. it was fun and touching at the same time. i first saw Wang Dong playing in "It Started with a Kiss" and "They Kiss Again" and even though he wasn`t the lead character i really liked him so this is the first time i see him in the main role and i was mesmerized by him. and yeah i agree that he was better than Rainie since she doesn`t really suits quiet type girl roles, i really love her smile the best and her long hair so this role it wasn`t really an advantage, but her acting was good even so. the music was great too. for the re-watch value i only gave an 8 since i don`t know if i`ll re-watch it because since now i never felt the urge to re-watch any drama i`ve seen even though some were totally exceptional, not my style. and it`s really worth watching ^___^

it was just ok... average. this was my 1st action k-drama. i mean, for me, the story and acting has to be such that the the bad guy should make me really believe that they are bad and mean and the good guy should make me believe that he is like superman or something.. but in this tv series, i liked son-hyuk and ki-soo more than jung-woo. personally i did not feel that the female actors had any presence on the screen. the starting was good although slow. but it becomes good after around 12th episode which is after more than half the episodes have finished. overall its good one time watch.

Yes it's the same concept as Gokusen, but its way better. Its edgier, its funnier and its got Mokomichi! I really liked this drama because of the exciting plot and situations that unfolded. I also liked how it had a touch of a psychological aspect to it as Otowa (Mokomichi's character) really scammed everyone by getting in their heads. Although the main concept is that this teacher comes in and changes the students and the school by teaching in unconventional ways, this story has so much more. The teacher isn't a teacher but an ex conman on the run, and we don't really know his name. I liked how this drama really let its characters mature and even though the viewer is privy to the inner workings of the con-mans set up you still don't know how things are going to turn out. This isn't a tear jerker but makes you think, laugh and gasp.
