Yaa totemokakkoii!!! Really love the drama.. I take back what I said in the last sentence. I am actually wishing for more of Hotaru no Hikari....hmmm Watching other dramas just doesn't cut it. I don't has this been discussed before but what is the meaning in the title "Hotaru no Hikari"? ...

i know its too early, but based on what i've seen from the first episode, this series is shaping up to be the one of the best this year. the interactions are so interesting and fun to watch. i especially loved the restaurant scene between haruo and the old man and every little minor thing that he d...

I watched it very late last night but for those wondering what's going on with Kairi-- Kikurin is not evil. They planned it this way. There's actually still a week until her birthday. He wanted to let her "die" once so that she can see how others, esp. Ojiro, are going on without her and h...

Ekk. Wow I literally made an D/A account to read and reply on feed back regarding the show. I didn't even realized they got married, until the pictures of the wedding were showed a second time.

LOL Episode 6 was excellent! MAJOR SPOILER His lover looked like Ojiro !? That picture was probably my favorite moment in the episode. Okay, I could totally ship that pairing now. :lol Not that it still couldn't turn out to be a joke that Ojiro and Kikurin are pulling on the others. This crew has a...

From what I know of the manga, wasn't there supposed to be another love triangle between Jan Di, Jun Pyo and a model guy (was played by Ikuta Toma on Jdorama version). I mean I want more love triangles. Sometimes that's what makes mangas so fun to read. This model guy is supposed to pretend to be o...

This show was laughably bad. Way too over the top.

I think they made it so that they could easily make an SP, movie, or second season. And I think the manga is still running in Japan, right?

This show is so bad it's good!! I think Youji is covering for Kanon having murdered her parents, because they're not really brother and sister and he loves her.

Hehe...I think Yujin's acting was decent. Which part you guys are referring to where his acting was bad? Perhaps I overlooked it. Or is it because he smiles too much...hahaha :lol yea I quiet like his smile ^^ & I think he did well in the last scene where he's by Kiyoka side too.. I thought he ...

I watched the first episode of this last night, and it kinda felt like I was watching an alternate universe of Yamada Taro Monogatari.

From my limited understanding of Japanese and watching the end of episode 8 , after the rescuers rescue the unconscious girl, I think they told the teacher that boy is already dead.

Well, wan't he on the boat with that girl that wanted to kill herself? Or was she not on the boat? 'Cause she's alive.

Ok, what started out as a "goofy teacher teaches kids how to live. . . " just got dark. They killed off one of the kids! How did he die, anyway? I'm unsure, as I just skimmed the episode and it was raw. I got the same question as you. I wasn't really feeling this show in the first place a...

The second episode was definitely better than the horrible first one but it's still not great or anything. I think better casting could have done the trick.

Holy crap, they're supposed to be 29 and 26??? HAHAHAHAHA! I think Erika actually looks a little older with the the wavy hair so maybe I can believe her as 26. Yamapi 26 at the most too. The other two?? Er... 20, tops. They couldn't find any older actors for these parts?

This show is decent but not that great. If it weren't for the A-list cast I doubt it would even be as high as it is, which is pretty low for a Kimutaku show. I'll keep watching though.

Maybe it's because I haven't read the manga (only seen bits and pieces of it but I haven't been interested in manga in a while) but I still love this show! It's so cute and Night is hilarious. I love both him and Soshi. I do think Riiko is too immature though.

Is anyone else disappointed with the fact that Ruka may get a sex change? I really hope the series doesn't go there. I say that because I feel it would take away from her probably being gay.

It sounds really good! I haven't seen The Devil yet but I have the files downloaded so I should get around to it before I watch this. I love Ikuta Toma.

Nice first ep! Nothing too surprising since pretty much everyone speculated all that stuff. I especially love the opening sequence. All the acting was good but Masami was the weak link, I think.
