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 (:

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.

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

For the first impression in the first episode, I felt that it was a lot like jdrama ROOKIES. I mean, there are similarities like some students in the class distrust the adults/teachers, they even said mean things to their homeroom teacher. I thought that this jdrama going to be cliche, just another school drama. But then, when I reached the end of episode 1, I started to see this jdrama in a different view.
First of all, the students here are much younger than students in ROOKIES. They are all 14 years old. Innocent and cute. In this jdrama also, the plot seems to progress much faster than ROOKIES, which was a good thing. And the glimpse of the next episode at the ending, causing my curiosity grew which made me continue watching it. Plus, it was good to see some actors that you have watched previously in another jmovie/jdrama. For me, they are; Horikita Maki and Hongo Kanata (which also working together in jmovie Hinokio, which got YUI's song - Tomorrow's way as well!), Shirota Yu (in ROOKIES he acts as a student, here as a teacher, lol) and this is my first time seeing Uchiyama Rina acting.
Another thing that kept me going is..of course the ending song by YUI - My generation. In this jdrama also we get to hear the song being made as bgm (I think it is piano instrumental which you won't hear in YUI's single album).
Anyway, my point here, if you are a fan of a school drama, this jdrama is not a waste of time. They also got their morals and lessons. And it was very nice to see Japanese children in their 14s! hehe~ Kawaii desu.

It's breezy and fun to watch. I enjoyed it very much and I think what I liked most is, everyone seemed so real. There were elements to each character that I certainly recognized in friends or loved ones in my life. They were fallable, made mistakes and wrong choices but then worked them out in a believable way.
I love Korean Dramas for their differences from American TV but it is nice once in a while to see a more realistic portrayal of modern romance and its difficulties. The questions that arise from a real romance. Will we get bored when the newness wares off? Can I forgive him if he cheats? Can I be okay with a more casual sexual love affair? How do I tell a man what I want or that I want more? These are only a few of the question that come up for the women. I am glad that every question isn't wrapped up in a neat little fantasyland bow. The plot lines are handled with a serious air but also a wry, truthful humor. This show made me smile and laugh.
I also loved that while the characters grew during the course of the plot, they didn't completely change their personalities. The love stories were fun and sexy too but still not blatent. The writing, acting and directing were all very solid. I very much enjoyed the narration of the lead character, giving us insight into her inner thoughts. I like the freeze frame stills interjected into the scenes to emphasize an emotion or mood. Fun!
Each episode is about 45 minutes or less and they do speed by pretty quickly. I attribute that to the smart writing and zippy story lines of each episode. I doesn't drag. I really liked the music as well.
This is a fun watch. Easy to invest your time in watching. It had me smiling, happy and waiting for the next episode. Pretty PG but with real kisses and frank sexual discussion. Always a plus in my book!

Everything about it marks a shift from the usual Korean pattern: plot, lines, direction, editing, photography, ending.
I was hesitant at first because I read too many compare it to Sex & The City - not my cup of tea. But I soon found out that, although the premises are similar - three friends experiencing and openly discussing their love and sexual lives - the general feel of it is completely different. Less stress on glamour and a lot more on internal struggles and doubts, all spiced up with a clever sense of humour and surprisingly GOOD kisses.
I watched the whole show with a big grin on my face. It felt so much like my real friends and I meeting at a bar and talking about ourselves, gossiping about men and their idiosincracy, it was amazing. I love Korean dramas for their exotic touch, situations I would never experience myself because they are culturally too different from my reality; but this drama managed to depict "universal" characters and situations. It felt real, albeit comedic, and as a woman I identified with all of them, on one level or another.
And it's impossible to watch it without talking about it. "What would you do?", "who would you chose?", "did she make the right decision?". All questions one is almost compelled to discuss with someone.
Direction is refreshing too. I thought the use of captures, or episode stills was a very clever choice: expressions are encapsulated in a moment in time and stored away, like a photo album.
The pace is fast and the music soundtracks it with hilarious cohesion.
Overall, a funny, realistic, well characterized drama, which I recommend to every adult. It may not appeal to younger viewers; as for inappropriate scenes, I saw none, but keep in mind I speak as a European.
The final message of this drama is: cherish yourself and your true friends, they won't let you down.

The male lead in Iris is "The Bad" in this movie & he does an excellent job of playing his character. "The Weird" is comes out to be more than u expect him to be in the end. "The Good" is the most accurate moving target shooter I have seen in any movie. I have never understood how they expect ppl to believe that u can hit a moving target when ur moving as much as the target. I can kinda understand if ur standing still, but moving like they do in this movie; I'm not so sure. But it is pretty cool to watch.
I enjoyed watching this movie, it made me laugh, it made me think, & it made me grossed out (cutting off body parts). I hope others enjoy it 2.

cast - this was my first taiwanese drama AND my first time seeing a Kingone/Rainie/Mike drama, but i really liked them! Mike is now one of my favorite actors of all time! he is really charming and can make anyone laugh. Rainie is too cute and great at her character(her crying looked true). Plus, the chemistry between Rainie and Mike was HUGE! they look really good for them.
music - i really liked it but, for me, it wasn't the best part of the drama.
rewatch value - i would rewatch it, but i think you don't need to, because every bit of the story stays in your brain forever.
overall - this drama made me want to see the other drama the three of them made! so now i'm definitely going to see 'devil beside you'! i think everyone should see this, it's a good one ('why why love', not 'devil beside you') ^^

I suppose that majority notice Natsu, but I'm interested in Ryuuji more. I don't know why, but he was amazing under this lamp and at the seaside.
As to LANDS' songs... I don't like this style, but it suits to the movie very much.

First off, let me just say, this is no ordinary drama and it's one that will definately exceed your expectations. I guarantee this drama will keep you on the edge of your seat right from episode 1.
When I first started watching this drama, I honestly haven't a clue what it would be like and I thought this was just something to pass my time(and because of Lee Min Ho of course!! ^^). I was hooked after episode 1. Straight off the bat. I still haven't a clue how the drama would turn out. And that's what hooked me. It was so unpredictable, litrally anything could happen, not like your typical kdrama where there are episode where you feel like it wasn't even necessary. But City Hunter was different. Each episode revealed something that would be relevant to the plot. Each episode had a cliffhanger at the end, urging you to watch the next. So I can say I'm thankful I watched this when all the episodes were out, or I would've went crazy waiting!
Another thing that makes this drama so flawless is that there are no annoying secrets or misunderstandings that lasts long. It's not like other dramas where like 5 episodes are dedicated to a secret or misunderstanding that makes all the characters all sentimental and basically drive us all crazy. It was refreshing and a big surprise to me when so many secrets get revelead when you least expect it.
Another aspect that makes this drama so awesome is that the heroine is NOT DUMB!!! (for once!!) It's no surprise in kdrama land where you always get the klutzy, clueless female lead. But the heroine in this is so completely different from a typical female lead in kdrama land that seems like almost like a rule that they must be stupid. But Na Na(the female lead) kicks ass. Litrally. She says everything she wants she doesn't leave any room for misunderstandings and fights her own battles. As the drama progresses you will really appreciate how awesome and different she is from other kdrama female characters. I mean can you imagine some of the female characters from other kdramas having to put up with what she does?
This drama was a fun roller coster for me. It made me laugh, cry(litrally), scream at my computer, and countless moments that left me speechless and mouth wide open thinking to myself: "What the hell just happened" (in a good way!) I assure you this drama will not dissappoint! So give it a try!
Oh wow, I just forgot to mention the most important thing that is the cherry on top of this awesome drama, three words: Lee. Min. (hotpants)Ho. Be prepared to go kyaaaaa~ everytime you see him (which is alot! lol) He is just so ....... breathtaking! And the clothes he wears, with his tall figure, and that glorious mane of hair, and those eyes............. Ok yeah the boy is hot. Really hot. Even my mam said he was. And you get to see him kick some ass be a total badass. Now I'm off to find another drama that will be as awesome as this. Yeah that'll take awhile! ^^
