This drama is amazing, Currently watching it and it has already made it onto my fave list..
The opening song is so addictive also, Gloomy Salad Days <3

The different issues this drama is about, Its powerful material. In some way, It makes you want to cry and still makes it impossible for you to stop watching it. <3
I have school tomorrow, But I can't stop watching it now <3 I'm not going to be able to function correctly tomorrow ^^

Now I'm officially done watching Gloomy Salad Days. This was such an amazing drama.
Made you cry, Laugh, Scream and live into every story in the show.
My fave arcs must have been the Du, Shen Qi, Xiao Lun and the Da Dong chapter.
Its too bad I'm actually done watching this. This made its way onto my fave dramas list pretty quickly.

I'm going to watch it... I want to see aaron again:-)

Really?hmm...i love all Fahrenheit but his my bias!!! oh...i forgot..i hate Wu Chun
What the hell is up with the English name "Gloomy Salad Days"? Sounds like romantic comedy set in family restaurant, ffs. That's my biggest complaint - translating 死神少女 correctly as "Death Girl" isn't that hard. Intresting series nevertheless, reminds me a bit of Jigoku Shoujo ("Hell Girl"), a anime which tells story of Enma Ai who makes contracts with people who are in unbearable situations in their lives with no way out, dragging their tormenters and wrong-doers to Hell but simultaneously judging those who made contract into eternal limbo between Hell & Heaven.
