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.

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.

I enjoyed watching this drama. The story was good, although it took me some time to get over the fact of the step brother/sister relationship. Considering they're not related by blood and are 2 different people, I got over it. Instead I found myself loving them as a couple. Rainie and Mike He have great chemistry! This was the first drama I've seen with both of them together. The side couple, Yuan Yu and Qing Zi were nice to see, and the rest of the guys plus Ahrang were great, too! Plus the parents were funny (:



Acting - Great! Nothing to complain about with any of the characters.



The music was good, I found myself downloading some of the music from the show (:



I have too many shows I wanna watch to rewatch, so i dunno if I will or not.



Overall- I think this show was worth watching (: If you're a fan of Taiwan dramas, and have not seen this one yet, I highly recommend it! It definitely has quite a few romantic scenes, and you'll find yourself rooting for the 2 to be together in the end (:

1 word over-acted. Of course Lee Hong Ki is as adorable as a puppy, and his Japanese was surprisingly good, but the whole thing is way overacted. It is a comedy, with some action (the wrestling). It is built on an interesting premise and seems like it would be really good from the first 2 episodes, but the story line seems to go in circles making the 30 minutes that you watch it feel like an hour. The flash backs are numerous and repetitive and that makes you feel like you have already watched this episode. The end was lack luster and felt rushed as if the drama got cut short and they had to hurry and finish it. Some things were never explained and why the antagonist of the story had a sudden change of heart I guess we will never know.

What I did like was Hong Ki's smile, the girls overacting, and them pretending pro-wrestling was a sport. I have never been a fan of wrestling, but when they did the moves it seemed funny and made me want to clothes- line someone.

All in all, unless you are a fan of Lee Hong Ki, pointless dramas about girls trying to be tough, or if you are a pervert and like to see girls in mid-drifts and skirts hitting each other this drama is for you. Otherwise the first 3 episodes are enough to understand the plot and I really wouldn't bother with the ending.

oh and I didnt understand the lack of common sense and magical happenings in the last ep. just a note.

WHAT A BRILLIANT DRAMA!!! I love it I love it I LOVE IT!!! It's such a wonderful. I usually hate watching melodramas because they usually are so long but this was so worth it. I didn't really want to watch this drama at first because I really really hate sad dramas and I hate crying in them but I just couldn't stop myself from watching it. After every episode I finished, it just left me at the edge of my seat and I just couldn't stop. It is so good. The plot of the drama was just amazing. I really would like to just give the writers two thumbs up for making a brilliant drama! The characters were so very well played in the drama. When they cried, I cried; when they laughed, I laughed; when they got angry, I wanted to punch the computer! The drama is just brilliant. I think that is the only things I can really describe it as, BRILLIANT!!!!!!

I guess the title "Adults who cant express themselves well" was already taken. Lol.

Slow dance is really about a group of adults who are trying to find what they want in their love lives and in life in general. While they can't figure it out for themselves they ask their even more clueless friends, thus creating misunderstandings. I liked the acting all the lead characters were good; however some incidental characters weren't the best actors. I liked how the actors portrayed the confusion and pain of their characters in subtle ways. The script writer was clever and showed the character development/ character realizations clearly. The story was well planned and uncommon; however if you like "love shuffle" you would like this one. Although the progression seems to be slow there aren't many dull moments, I never fast forwarded out of boredom, only because I felt embarrassed for them.

The drama doesn't suck you in and make you want more, but you are totally interested and invested through each episode. Even though Isaki, the female lead can get annoying, I really enjoyed watching this drama .Of course the people I put together initially didn't get together but I still felt the ending was a happy and perfect one.

P.s. there are some really squeal-worthy confessions and proposals
