WATCH THIS DRAMA...LIKE NOW
I loved this so much. I loved everything about it. I loved the concept, the writing, and the twisty nature of the plot, I loved the characters, and how awful and awfully flawed and wonderful they were all the same time. I loved the acting - OMG, I loved the acting. All of the leads earned their paychecks in spades, but even the supporting cast were top-notch. First of all, Yamazaki Kento and Kadowaki Mugi were just flat-out BRILLIANT, but Mackenyu was a huge and welcome surprise. My perennial favorite Shison Jun never disappoints, and Suda Masaki......Suda Masaki, my word, he electrifies and just *possesses* every role he plays.I am actually sad that I finished this, I need more from these characters and from this story - it deserves more than ten stars.

Story:
The story is soooo unique. I love time travel dramas in general, but have never seen one even a bit similar to this one. The main character Otaro/Eight is a complex character, and is very manipulative. I love him, and sometimes I love to hate him; he is so intriguing throughout the whole drama, and the way his character develops and changes throughout the drama is amazing. With Otaro being such a unique main character I think you could suspect the romance isn't quite like other dramas. The romance is different and is not very lovey dovey, but it is still verrrry good, their chemistry is just amazing. I would have to say this story's focuses are mystery, manipulation, changing for the better, and lots and lots of twists (as to be expected in time travel dramas). Everything is so well crafted.... I just love it.
Acting/Cast:
The casting for this was just perfect, I think the actors did an amazing job.
Music:
I have no complaints with the music, and I loved the theme song. Just great music in general.
Rewatch Value:
I don't really rewatch dramas, however I do think I will probably rewatch this when I show this to my sister. I show her some random dramas I think are good, and I think this is definitely next on the list.
Overall:
Great drama, please watch it. You won't regret it!

Such an enjoyable drama with twists and turns
This was my first j-drama and I was engrossed in it. It's damn enjoyable with twists and turns everywhere that I was hooked to my screen, trying to figure out what would happen next. Some might knock it down points for the writing but honestly I didn't really notice that much plot holes. I loved how scummy the main character was and his character development was so great to watch. His chemistry with the FL was amazing and I loved how lovably weird and introverted she was. I would 100% recommend this for someone who hasn't watched any jdramas before.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
When I watched it the first three episodes were good but not the best, and after this was just like a drug I couldn't stop watching it even though it wasn't perfect at all, but it was funny, and intense so I kept watching it.
Yamazaki Kento was really good, and this kind of characters suits him better so I wasn't disappointed, and all the cast was great, I especially liked the acting of Mackenyu, god this boy can really act.
I could definitely rewatch it, and I think this will be one of the best drama jdrama of 2018!

To be clear though, the ending left a lot to be desired - pretty trite way to end things but what can you expect? ... like they have to pull things together to end in this feel-good way. All in all, I think this is pretty entertaining.

Minhas considerações sobre Todome no Kiss
✧ Eight não vale nada mas amei ele mesmo assim. E a Saiko definitivamente não é o tipo de personagem principal que eu gosto mas ela me cativou.✧ O dorama prendeu minha atenção rápido e eu queria assistir um atrás do outro, acabei praticamente maratonando sem querer. Agora que acabou tô tristi.
✧ Tirando Eight, Saiko e Harumi para mim os outros personagens foram tanto faz tanto fez. Kkkkkkk bem descartáveis?
✧ O enredo é legal e ver o Eight ser um babaca foi satisfatório por razões que desconheço. Foi um dorama divertido de assistir.
✧ Apesar de alguns pontos negativos, o final vale muito apena. Estou triste e feliz aushuahuas que merda, mas gostei.
✧ Eu devia dar um 8, mas vou dar um 9 porque sim, no fim das contas gostei. Talvez mude posteriormente mas agora vai ficar assim. (Depois que eu reassisti subi para 10 porque criei carinho por essa bodega)

CHARACTERS: Not perfect and not romanticized and therefore, I really enjoyed them and was happy to see well done character devolopment. Sometimes the acting seemed a bit over the top, but then again, it was actually so good that I really felt for the characters (especially Saiko #protec).
SCENERY / MUSIC: Nothing too outstanding in the cinematography itself (the fight scenes LOL), but I reeaaallly liked the music in here. Suda Masaki's voice especially <3
Would recommend to someone who: likes mystery elements and needs something to binge watch | is interested in time travelling and the correlation between greed, happiness and redemption | enjoys sexy times haha

This story is actually interesting to me because of all the new dramas is similar to each other. I love the actor's chemistry! they're fun to watch and I almost cried on episode 9. literally when Saiko's death, it was the last episode because Otaro can't revive her. But then I've checked it was episode 9 hehe.
Great Acting
Great story
Music is naturally added
would watch it again!
I would rate it higher if they get to be together at the end, but I'll go watch Todome no Parallel to see how it would end.

This review/opinion may have no structure, as I'm writing this on the emotional high of having completed it. Furthermore, this may contain minor spoilers. .

The story isn't something epic. we've all seen it. the revenge plot, the greed plot, the "bad guy" who doesn't believe in love turning good after falling for the innocent, pure, slightly awkward girl. all these concepts and themes are cliches. what wins here is the storytelling. the JAPANESE STORYTELLING.
Even though I knew Eight will fall for Saiko, even though I knew that they, together, have god-like power to 'turn back time', still each episode had so many twists and turns, they kept me on edge of my seat.
I couldn't drop the drama until I completed from the very first episode. It's VERY gripping. and that too goes to the power of storytelling.
I believe that cliches can never be avoided. they are part of stories, and they'll forever remain so. what makes an okay story, great is HOW you tell those cliches to your audience. I think this show did a pretty decent job at it.
Though, I do have criticism. I didn't like how Namaki was just the love (or precisely 10B) interest. She had no depth to her character and was at times very dumb, just casually revealing every important information to her adopted brother. it really became irritating after a certain point.
Also, the ending episode was underwhelming. They wasted too much time and then tied all the loose threads very conveniently and quickly.
I wanted Kento's character to go through more emotional scenes and actually become a nice guy totally, but i think writers wanted to show that humans cant change that quickly, so i wont complain.
In all, I think it was a great watch for just 10 episodes. Would recommend!

TOO MUCH KISS!!! (^o^)
Finally I finished this. Honestly, in the beginning I'm a little bit lazy to watch because for me it's kinda absurd and I don't really like Yamaken being kissed forcely XD But, my bestfriends convinced me to watch until the end and I'm glad I listen to them.
The early episodes quite bored me, because for me Otaro is totally jerky-ass, but when the secrets and conflicts appear, when all their connections reveal, I enjoyed it. I love how Saiko slowly take Otaro to the right path (^_^) I have an early theory about Suda Masaki is Kouta, but I'm wrong XD I never imagine that role of Suda.
And even I prefer the totally happy ending, but I love this kind of ending too ... happy-sad ending (^_^)

The plot is really amazingly twisted, although the final was banally predictable and the final decision of the main lead dramatic in an absolutely silly way. However, all the atmosphere, the aesthetics, and this type of dark, frustrating, intense, a bit ill love story were so charming that you can forgive all the defects of the drama. Also the acting was really convincing and the second male lead (Takauji's character) undoubtedly catching the eye (well we don't find here so outstanding actors like Kimura Takuya but the main actors do an undoubtedly good job). So I highly recommend this drama ;)
