Half way through the first episode and I am starting to have deja vu feelings. Have I watched this one before? Yes, this one is the live action of the anime, probably the manga too (?), erased. And it does follow the anime plot wise, up to a certain point at least. One thing I have to comment about this drama was the ability of the leading actor to look older at times and like a teenager in other scenes. That gave a good time progress for the story. Also, the kid actors and actresses were extremely good! When it comes to the story, it is a mystery-fantasy plot with great performances and a gripping mystery.

I'm gonna be a bit strick with this one, as I was expecting much more. The story itself isn't bad. The concept was nice and fun. However, it was dull. The pacing was a nightmare and I was about to drop it after the third episode, as nothing exciting was happening. The last few episodes, however, were really good, part of the romantic scenes that were plenty, but boring. Yes, the two leads had chemistry, but couldn't the romance be more original? Anyway, the romantic scenes kind of pulled the pace back to the slow slaggish one we had in the first episodes, but at least the story was interesting at last. The mystery of the father, the depth of the characters and their choices that changed the future, everything was thrilling and entertaining. The ending was a let down, though I don't really know how they could have handled the romance otherwise. Other than that, the performances were good and the representation of the 80' era decent.

The High&Low franchise is a popular one and for a good reason. The whole production must have cost a fortune, as there were so many characters and members in each gang. The four teams were interesting to watch, as each one was distinguish, with different kingdom and different costumes. The fighting scenes were top notch as well. That said, the performances were great from all the actors. The ending was kind of left some questions answered, but there is a second season. Finally, the story was interesting, although it was confusing because there were too many characters to get to know in such a short time.

One warning about this drama: don't expect too much!! I guess the only thing that was positive about this one was the performances. All the actors and actresses of this one were decent and better than the standards of this drama. Now, not that the execution wasn't good. At least they didn't fall for the manga-anime like trop with the exaggeration of emotions and situations. However, the story was a cliche fest. The love triangle was just tiring to watch and there was nothingh unpredictable about this one. The twists were idiotic, as the girl could not have possibly got over someone so fast, but played the hard to get for a good length of four episodes after that. Okay, maybe I'm too harsh with this one. If it was a 4 or 5 episode series, maybe the story wouldn't have to repeat the twists over and over and make the characters into irrational love fools. But the 10 episodes killed it.

I want to eat your pancreas puts you off with the odd title. However, it is a beautiful story. The acting was very good. I also enjoyed how the story was presented. But the hilight was the characters. Both of them were so different and yet so right for each other (not in a romantic way, but a human way). The girl was possitive, bubbly, and simply adorable. The boy was quiet, unsociable, and kind of a calm force. Also, the cinematography was beautiful, with the cherry blossoms (sakura) and the school background. It served the innocence of the movie well. However, the story, in the final conclusion, kind of lacked the intensity that would have brought the whole tragedy to a climax. So, eight out of ten, because, the pace was also slow.
