I wrote a review/comparison of the live action and the manga on my blog
I do go more into detail there: http://wp.me/p87mzW-5Z6

Story (10/10)
I really enjoyed the premise of dating for seven days and finding out if you do or don't like the person you're with. Personally, I do think 7 days is enough to know if you do or don't want to continue a relationship, especially if you're hanging out so often, which is how Yuzuru and Seryou were. I loved their interaction

Casting (10/10)
I originally read the manga first and casting is one of those big issues I have when stuff gets live action adaptations. I honestly didn't have an issue here as the actors fit Yuzuru's pretty features and Seryou's handsome/playboy look

Acting (6/10)
I did have some issues with the acting. One of Yuzuru's biggest features, aside from having a pretty face, is his expressiveness. I didn't feel Yamada James Takeshi captured that in his acting. In fact, his expressions didn't really vary to me. Hirose Tomoki did a better job, only because he had more unique expressions (the smirk, the swagger), but I also think he could have done better. Unlike other dramas I watched, the acting here was more realistic and more in line with what you would see an everyday person doing

Music (7/5)
I have no complaints but nothing stood out either

Rewatch Value (8/10)
I do think I could rewatch this, however, not immediately. It is short enough where it doesn't feel like you're stuck to a TV for too long and it ends at a place where watching this in 2 sittings isn't awkward

Overall (8.5/10)
I'm a huge fan of this story and the manga, and to see it faithfully following the manga really made my day! I do seriously think the acting could have been better and it does give off the feeling of being low budget, but still I recommend checking it out. Especially if you like Boy's Love

I loved their interaction. This is the second half of Seven Days and it gives enough information at the beginning to refresh our memories if we didn't watch this in one sitting.

Acting (5/10)
I decided to drop the acting score on this one because Fri -> Sun is the more emotional part of the movie. It's where the characters will break up at the end of the week and where they need to decide how they feel about the other. I don't feel we had the right emotions all the time plus the whole issue with little expressions I mentioned in my review for Mon -> Thu

I don't really watch movies, much less asian dramas but I decided to for my blog and WOW, really loved this. It was recommended to me and I honestly thought it was going to be something for just laughs but it turned out to be more than that.

I really loved the interaction between the characters and how they went from strangers talking on the phone to friends and more. The ending really had me in suspense. I rated the music an 8 but I honestly can't say there was anything that really struck me (other than the song the character composes. That was pretty great) but since there wasn't anything bad, figured an 8 would be fine.

As for rewatching...yeah, I've already done that and want to again (LOL)

There was nothing I disliked about this movie.

Such a cute movie!!!

It's been a while since I last watched any gay movies and I have to say, this one was SO ADORABLE

I decided I needed to watch it ASAP after watching the trailer, which was just Yoon Sang Yi running while Kang In Soo sang this beautiful romantic song. I absolutely adored the acting and the little glances and moments both mains gave each other. The story isn't the most creative or even plot-driven but I don't think that's the point of the movie. I felt it was more about the characters meeting, their interaction, the music, and just inspiring each other. And all of that was done beautifully
