I wasn't sure what was going on to be honest. i think this horror could have incorporated more thrill and trauma.
It leaves you with a cliff hanger at the end and if your someone that doesn't enjoy being left hanging like my self you wouldn't find this very enjoyable. However it was a pretty decent movie and i would watch it again to get a better understanding of the story.
It is not just a scary movie... i guess people who like horror movies would want something scarier and a little less thrill.
It's a good movie...the plot really stars to develop somewhere is the middle and though it maybe not the best i definitely don't regret watching this one ^^

I'll admit that when I first read the synopsis, I really didn't expect much from it. It even looked like an ordinary drama story, but that all changed as soon as I watched the first episode.

Story: The story was different and well written. The plot kept getting more interesting with each passing minute. Everyone involved in the production of it, cast and staff, knew just how to take it a notch up with each episode, which left me wanting more.

Acting/Cast: The actors did such an amazing job that I loved every interaction between them, even the ones I loved to hate (and there were a few of those). Jung Woo Sung playing the role of Yang Kang Chil was simply brilliant and he is a character I will not forget. Kim Bum as Gook Soo was also amazing.

Music: I loved the soundtrack of this drama, every song went perfectly with the moment and the story. It, also, helped enhance the emotions the cast kept throwing our way.

Rewatch: I would love to re-watch this, but it's not very likely any time soon. Not because I didn't like the drama and not because I thought it was average and not worthy of a re-watch. But because every aspect of the story, even the happy moments, were heartbreaking.

Overall, I give this drama a 10. I think it deserves it. It cast a magical spell which enthralled, amazed me and from which I could not escape. It is definitely worth a watch and make sure you have some tissue with you because it is a real tearjerker, especially towards the last episodes.

I just finished watching the movie...I'm a bit grossed out by the end. If you don't like gory horror movies, please skip the last five minutes of the movie. It's so real looking and disgusting. I almost thought that the actor acting as the actor in the movie was doing this in real life in the movie while no one was looking. Anyway...

I believe this is an independent film, so it's different. There are multiple people, multiple stories.
If you like film or are interested in making films, you may like this movie.

Overall the movie is okay, but personally, I would skip the last part.
Very melancholic.

This story will completely overwhelm your mind. When I started watching this I became immensely drawn into the story. The plot is wonderful. Although some may think it's cliche, Hana Yori Dango takes every situation and add their own twist that will have viewers on the edge of their seat. "Are the going to kiss? Will she have a change of heart? Will this character ever come back?!" These questions along with waves of different emotions ran through my head throughout every episode. Violence, Romance, Friendship, Laughter, Sorrow, Jealousy and Confusion all come together harmonically and make one great story.

The cast are wonderful! They picked the perfect actors for this story. Although the story is totally unbelievable when you think about it, these thoughts will never cross your mind while you're watching. The actors take these fictional characters from a manga and make them realistic.

The music is great. I love the opening theme the most! The music during the series is very nice and always appropriate for the scene.

This is my first time writing a review and it's all because this series inspired me to write about it's awesomeness! IF YOU LOVE ENTERTAINMENT WATCH HANA YORI DANGO!! ^_^

Sunao Ni Narenakute is an extremely well done drama about friendship, love and growing pains of adulthood.

The situations are mature, the friendships are genuine and the love story is refreshingly real and sweet. The writing of this was very smart and truer to life than most dramas. The 11 episodes went by fairly quickly.

I really enjoyed the premise of five friends coming together by meeting through Twitter. It was such an original take on how people meet, grow to care for each other and become an extended family.

This is a slice of life piece about a particular time and stage in a person's life. It is off the beaten path from the usual standard drama fare. I loved it for that. The serious situations were handled in a realistic way that had me walking away feeling bittersweet but much more on the sweet side.

All of the characters were believable; the actors true and natural. My one small nitpick is that while I like JaeJoong and he improved in Protect the Boss, his acting in this felt a little green and new. But I did like "Doctor" and it wasn't so bad as to be distracting.

This drama really is a very nice piece of work. Sunao Ni Narenakute is an enjoyable watch, even with the angst and troubles that naturally come with the previously mentioned growing pains. This drama is about being true to yourself, learning to be brave in life and love. It is done with humor, some very stark realism and a lot of warmth.

The soundtrack was great! There wasn’t a song out of place. They were a mix of pop and alternative that fit perfectly with the age group portrayed in the drama. The songs were also memorable and this is one of those rare times I wish I owned the OST. (I liken the quality to Soulmate and Coffee Prince)

I am giving the re-watch a 10 because I know I will go back to this drama again.

I recommend this drama very highly. It is smart, fun, touching, and romantic. A WIN in my book.

THE ultimate emotional "trial-by-fire" drama, my first melodrama. Watching STH, you'll be enchanted and heartbroken by the young Park Shin Hye and Baek Sung Hyun. You'll scream and want to b*tch-slap Kim Tahee and the evil step-mom. Tears will be flowing for Kwon Sang Woo’s soul-piercing, heart-shattering sobs. The result is fully vested in this hauntingly unforgettable drama. Bonus is the beautiful and memorable OST.

7 years ago STH was my first journey into dramaland and even now when I hear "Bogoshipda", there's a quick bittersweet tinge of feeling. A must watch! Just select lighter fare after STH.

This was a strange drama because it was quite inconsistent, and sometimes there were time jumps and you'd think "Wait, what?" It was all over the place sometimes. But it still managed to be a great drama anyway. I loved the music. There were some really fun numbers, but some really emotional numbers too. And all of the performers could actually sing, which was a positive. The acting was all great; there were some very emotional moments in this drama, which the actors managed to pull off brilliantly (thank god). Some storylines didn't seem to have a resolution though. They'd bring something up, but then not carry on with it. What was the point? Overall though, well worth watching.

All the time I thought to myself how nice it was to have someone by your side when you're sick. I'm the person who usually doesn't depend on someone when I don't feel well because I don't like taking their time for my own problems. But once in a while, I know when to ask for someone's help and company when I am sick because I know that it feels so much better inside when someone is near and watching over me.

Stories about people with incapabilities or a tragedy usually is a tricky one when you review it. People usually look forward to excitement and suspense. You can't simply just say the tragedy is a let-down because that makes you feel horrible for seeming to be bored out of someone's misery. In this case, the story isn't boring at all but I honestly can say it's not a great one as well. Maybe because I don't know exactly what how it feels to have narcolepsy or the likes. But I feel happy that I get to know the story of the people who do.

At the end though, it wasn't really about the narcolepsy. It was about experiences that all of us have gone and will be through. Limitations, self-respect, and faith in general. Going through something so unexpected; not knowing when it will hit again and how to cure it.

The acting was good. It was nice seeing new faces and not expecting too much from them. I also love the ideas that they showed through photography and arts. I wish they would've put some good music in it though but I wish that in any movie. Anyway, it's a nice movie altogether. Not as simple as you'd think but not so heavy either.

Drop was hilarious. Lots of blood and fighting, like Majisuka Gakuen but with ikemen and without that whole pretentious story line of why they fight. Chuck full of shonen comic references, if this was not a shonen comic, it really felt like the target audience is young boys. This movie is literally bare bones boys fighting and protecting their pride.
What I liked was the honesty in the characters. As a true dramanista, I am always looking for the scheming friend, the evil mother, the rat in the group but there was none of that. The characters literally said out loud exactly what they felt, and it was refreshing. Narimiya Hiroki is an awesome actor! This type of character for him is not new (Yankee-kun to Megane-chan) but he is so believable even if you do see his wrinkles. He really brought the main character to life. Although the other supporting characters were to be stereotypical, they played their parts very well and I forgot i was watching actors at times. I must admit that started this because I love Mizushima Hiro. As much as I loved to watch him in this movie, his character fell flat. It could be the fault of the writers, but his character seemed under developed or maybe the character was supposed to be vicious/crazy but Hiro couldn’t commit to it. IDK. I may blame the writers because they introduced a lot of characters that have no development, no story line and then randomly appeared/ disappeared.
The main question on my mind while watching, “Why are they using fully grown men to play middle schoolers?” I know some of those dudes are in their 30’s! I mean these dudes had full facial hair but playing 15-17 year olds??!! I also couldn’t understand how some characters were not getting physically stronger with all the fights, like how are you remaining so weak but you can still run your mouth? Not to mention how cool the parents were with all of this, your son wants to become a delinquent and you say “ok!”?. To top it all off, there is a sudden sorrowful scene out of nowhere that causes major changes. (I had the stupid face on because I didn’t really see it coming).
There were certainly loose ends, unraveled strings, and frayed stitches, but it wasn’t boring. For a story that seems meant to tell young boys “life is short don’t waste it” I think it does a pretty decent job. However it gets a fat F for encouraging ruthless violence for younger ages. I, however am not in that demographic and anything that gives me a little eye candy while entertaining me, I say “bring it on!”. I do recommend the movie for a break from the complex story lines, the plotting and the scheming found in many of the dramas we see. Overall: Lots of cool real fights, loads of excitement.
