I never finished this and I don't think I will ever try to. I love two guys in the cast. I was really surprised when I realised it was the two of them! The reason why I watched this because I've always thought Honey and Clover was a popular manga/anime because I've always known the title but had no idea what it was about. I'm into episode 5, and I still have no idea what it is about.
Sypnosis(from dramawiki)
Honey and Clover follows the lives of five college students and their love triangles.
sami's note: zzzzzzzzzzzz. shortest sypnosis ever.
Cast
Ikuta Toma (Hana Kimi 2nd male lead)
*Mukai Osamu (Mei-chan no Shitsuji, Atashinchi no Danshi)
*Narimiya Hiroki (Bloody Monday, Innocent Love)
Narumi Riko (One Litre of Tears- younger sister)
Ratings: 2/10. It was really quite bad. I forced myself to watch till episode 5 because of the two guys.
i just found out there was a taiwanese version. just what is nice about the story?

You Are Beautiful
The last episode ended in Korea last Thursday. How depressing, now, i feel empty. The reason why I stopped my drama marathons because I want to dedicate my heart and mind to You're Beautiful.
It's the best kdrama I've seen over the years, even exceeding Boys Over Flowers and Shining Inheritance.
Even though its an Idol drama and might sound really cliche, it was a really light-hearted comedy romance series done by the Hong Sisters (my girl, fantasy couple, etc)
Usually I wouldn't complain if there're 16 episodes, my ideal drama is short and sweet, but for this, I cant help but wish it was much longer. However, because IRIS was their competition, the highest ratings that You're beautiful in Korea ever hit was 11%. I'm going to start IRIS after this because of TABI.
Main reason for watching: LEE HONGKI and JANG GEUN SUK
But I grew to love Jung Yonghwa after this show. The lead singer of CN Blue who just debuted in Japan. So, this is his first stint at acting and he really was quite impressive. ^ ^
Sypnosis(from Soompi)
A story about the behind-the-scenes life of an idol group. Jang Geun Suk and Lee Hong Ki are in search of a new member for their idol group. However at the last minute, the member suffers an injury and his twin sister has to step in disguised as him.
Park Shin Hye'll play Go Mi Nam (male) & Go Mi Nyu (female), a pair of twins who ends up switching places when Mi Nam gets into an accident after being selected as 1 of the four members of a idol group. Jang Geun Suk plays Hwang Tae Kyung, a village boy turns idol star who is constantly at odds with Mi Nyu. Lee Hong Gi plays Kang On Yu who is the lead singer of the group. Filming'll start after the final member of the group is found. In the SBS drama 'You are beautiful', Uee is playing the role of "Yoo He Yi", the 'national younger sister' who has the nation's love since she was young and worked hard to become a top star
The cast for this drama was perfect!
Park Shinhye- (Goong S, Stairway to heaven)
Jang Geun Suk- (Baby and I, Hong Gil Dong, Beethoven Virus)
Lee Hongki - ( FT Island's lead singer, also child actor)
UEE- (After School singer)
Jung Yong Hwa- ( CN Blue's lead singer)
UEE: I was really impressed by UEE's acting. Even now, I still can't shake off her evil image, you want to hate her, but then you couldn't really bear to.
Lee HongKi: His acting never disappoint me. I did have high expectations for him and he really shined despite the insignificance of his role. You'll definately fall for his cuteness and can't help to cry with him when he starts crying. I cried when he started singing a happy song in tears, while confessing his love.
Jung Yong Hwa: think Ji-hoo sunbae's (BOF- Kim Hyun Joong) role. the perfect guy whom you can never hate.
Jang Geun Suk: What more can I say about him, without him, there wouldn't be You're beautiful. There's too much about him to be mentioned. A really queer character who is night blinded, a clean freak who would die after eating sesame, shrimp.
Park Shin Hye: I can't say I'm a fan of her, because I'm so jealous of her. HAHAHHA ok, i've definately got to give credit for her acting too.
Ratings: 100/100. if you liked Boys over Flowers, trust me, this is 10 X better.

Take care of the Lady
Take care of the lady, lady castle, my fair lady, take care of agasshi. There are so many title for this drama that I'm so confused. Just like the many confusing titles, the drama is confusing and irritating. Which leads me to a question, why are kdramas so terrible now? I had not found one that is even close to Shining Inheritance.
Since this is Yoon Eun Hye's first drama in years. And I've liked her previous dramas alot, I perceived that this would definately be a good drama. GAH i was wrong! The greatest thing that kept me going on was the clothes she was wearing. Just like in Goong, the clothes she wears are too darn chic and unique and not to mention that they're all designer wear.
The main male lead was a pain in the ass. I did not feel for their romance and infact, i fastforwarded ALL of their scenes together. which defeated the purpose of watching the drama. Here's another butler story.... why are there so many ladies falling for their butlers stories!? it's too unrealistic and it definately low chance that it would happen in real life. The main reason why I detest him was because of one of his drama I watched years back- Exhibition of fireworks. Though it had been years, I still remember him as a jerk.
Ratings: 4/10. Sucky beginning all the way to the end.

Orthros no Inu
Another Ryo's drama. Whenever I started watching a Ryo drama because of Ryo, at some point of time I would like another male character. The only time which I solely focused on Ryo was One litre of tears, after that another male character would steal my attention.
If you were to read the storyline of Orthos no Inu, you'd definately be interested.
Sypnosis
Ryuzaki Shinji who possesses a “God Hand”, the power to heal wounds and illnesses just by touching the patient, is in fact a dark introvert who does not reveal his true self to others. Aoi Ryosuke who possesses the “Demon’s Hand”, the power to kill a person just by touching him, is as kind and pure as an angel. When the demon meets the God, a fatal battle begins…
Detective Hasebe Nagisa gets caught by the criminals during a deep cover operation. Ryosuke, a man she does not even know comes to save her and she witnesses his “Demon’s Hand” in action. Thereafter she discovers by coincidence the existence of Shinji’s “God Hand” and brings the two together. Little did she know that this would cause great disorder to the world and even to her own life…
God's hand and the Demon's hand. Takizawa Hideki is hot! i know he's a johnny boy, but who cares. The first couple of episodes were captivating and mysterious. However, the downfall came when it became really repetitive.
Ratings: 6/10

L: Change the World
I'm sure almost anyone would have heard of L from Death Note. Now death note was quite a good show, but L the movie was completely filmed just to ride on the popularity and the huge hit of the amazing guy, L. The storyline was absolutely disappointing, why, because besides the story not coming from the manga, the whole movie was utterly boring.
Yea, like I mentioned how Singapore always have rubbish movies in the theatres, this is another perfect example. WHY would they want people to pay to watch this trash instead of other good shows? Which is one of the reason why I seldom watch asian films in the theatres.
I know I sound harsh, but I'm sure any death note manga fans would be mad at the storyline. 1 episode of Bloody Monday is 10 times more exciting than this 1 hr + movie. However, I can't blame Kennichi Matsuyama because he was still excellent and brillant as L.
Ratings: 3/10. Media's too hyped up over this rubbish movie.

Handsome Suit
This movie was in the theatres in Singapore but I missed it. Heard several reviews that the movie was hillarious. Sometimes I wonder why aren't the good shows shown in the theatres. Handsome suit wasn't THAT nice and THAT funny as many people think just because it was promoted in Singapore.
The story line was once again VERY predictable and it wasn't even funny enough to be a comedy. Ugly guy puts on a 'special' suit and transforms to be a very handsome man. The 'handsome' dude was the homo weird doctor in Love Shuffle, maybe that was one of the reason why I did not enjoy it.
There was nothing special in the cast except Yusuke had a minor role but he wasn't impressive.
Ratings: 6/10. forgettable and very predictable.

Buzzer Beat
Just finished Buzzer Beat a few minutes ago. Finally I'm over and done with it! Not that it's a bad drama, it's just that I shouldn't have started watching it before it finishes airing in Japan. A drama is best watched when I could go on for more than 5 episodes in one go.
Back to Buzzer Beat, because it's a Yamapi drama, it's a predictable, weak story-lined idol drama. His acting skills did not shine here, i loved him best when he was akira in Nobuta wo Produce and hope he would act crazy instead of trying to be cool in ALL his recent works.
Coach-sama is HOT! Another plus point is the romance in the drama got me tingly, which I haven't felt so in a long time. Good kissing scenes was another major plus point since we RARELY get romantic kisses in jap dramas. sigh, even rare in kdramas too.
But please don't make yamapi wear purple ever again. I know it's the colour of his bball team but the PD really overdid it.
Ratings: I'm going to give a high one for the romance. 7/10. typical and pi wears TOO MUCH PURPLE IS ANNOYING!
