the music is fantastic like the drama is sweet sounding but very heart felt. i just down loaded their OST :)
i would watch it again even though I don't watch dramas once im done.
The cast where young which helped a lot in the story, really hooks you in tremendously, the type of chemistry is very innocent like yet very strong.
overall a 9 because..well it was great
should definitely be watched.

It is a very interesting & well thought out human drama with a very solid story. The acting on all parts is really good with each one suiting their role perfectly. I especially enjoyed what Eita brought to the drama as well as Nishidiko Ryo. The later did an amazing job considering the complexity of Sousuke's character.
I also think the insert song "Prisoner of Love" by Utada Hikaru & the opening credits suit Last Friends perfectly. Tying everything together from start to finish.
The only downside is the special as most of it was re-caps except for the start & end. I would have personally preferred a proper special. There's only really about 10 minutes of new footage.
Overall though I feel this is definitely not one to pass up if you enjoy slice-of-life stories!

Story: Really does a romcom need 22 episodes? No. Although, the writers did a good job with the pacing which made the episodes fly by in no time. Really the drama is about the growth of ALL the characters (mains and supporting) in both career/family/romantic aspirations. At first this seemed like it might become repetitive and why waste my time on another story ive seen before right? Well as each episode went on I found myself glued to the screen wondering where these characters (not just the leads) will go in life. Although a lot of the situations might not seem realistic I did find the story as a whole quite realistic and relatable. The only thing I found lackluster was the ending for our two leads. They had room to give us something more satisfying.
Acting/Cast: Chae Rim is a lovely actress but I haven’t loved any of her projects. I think this is the first where her character will be memorable for me. She had the perfect chemistry with Lee Min Ki (I found his acting a little stiff at times) and their relationship was quite believable. I was really surprised by the casting choices of the supporting characters (they get their own storylines as well) at first but by the end I was invested in their characters and they did their parts to carry the show as well. I found the second male lead VERY stiff and he reminded me of Pinocchio a lot(His paleness and lack of facial expressions) and his character was kind of useless after only 8 eps and found his scenes after that kind of awkward and out of place.
Music: Found it very cheesy at first but it will get stuck in your head by the end. Enjoyable for the drama but not my kind of thing.
Rewatch: I didn’t love the first 8 episodes because the second male lead was a big part of the storyline and Lee Min Ki had fewer scenes, plus I'm really not that big of a fan of older woman/younger man focused dramas. Because of this its not a must rewatch for me but I don’t see why anyone else wouldn’t want to rewatch it.
Overall Dalja’s Spring is one of the better written romcoms out there with excellent pacing and its actually really funny which is a plus!

The acting was mediocre considering the actors in this drama have a whooping range of five emotions; sullen, murderous, angry, scared, and frustrated. This drama's only standout is found in the character of Detective Sakisaka.
The music was this drama's saving grace, the bgm was wonderfully tasteful and totally unlike the usually annoying sounding loop music typical of jdorama mysteries.
If you like paranormal Science-Fiction, twisted mind games, and mad scientists(and the patience to survive the mediocre acting and the awful formulaic episodes), this one's for you.

Really I love this drama. It has everything a drama should. This season was bad ass. So many ppl died it was like crazy awesome. I know that murder is considered bad/wrong but 4-real some of those ppl needed 2 die. I love it when the good ppl have 2 sacrifice themselves in order 2 save others. Self sacrifice is always emotional. This drama is great & I can't wait 4 the next season! Hurry up & get here 2013.

I have a friend who’s totally obsessed with Kimura Takuya therefore she insisted that I should watch this since it contains sports. As a result, this was my first Kimmy drama.
2) Storyline/Plot:
*Generally speaking, this is a drama related to sports wrapped up with romance and humour.
Positive points:
*It was very well written, events were connected in harmony while developments seemed catching whether they were good or bad.
*Main Genres:
--->Sports: Oh my, sports!! One of the reasons I started watching this. The story of the hockey team was intriguing; even though script writers didn’t fully focus on hockey’s activities but it had a fair share of the storyline’s development; scenes on the rink were always remarkable which made every game important no matter what’s the bet.
Hockey was the core of this drama that’s why it’s hard to imagine it without sports.
--->Romance: The romantic concept was good enough to fit in with sports. The combination made sense since there were a lot of connections between hockey game and love game.
Sometimes, the main romantic story may lack progress but it doesn’t last for long plus side romantic stories were always good to watch.
--->Humour: Some of us may not understand Japanese humour yet it wasn’t annoying to watch. Funny scenes were present to make this drama light-hearted that’s why comedy was appreciated in here.
Negative Points:
--->Drama: Overly dramatic scenes don’t fit with sports, at least not here. Side characters dramatic stories were overdone sometimes which made the storyline go astray in some points.
However, that didn’t affect the whole drama’s concept.
Story: 8.5/10.
3) Acting/Cast:
*Like I said earlier this was the drama that introduced Kimura Takuya to me; his acting was good enough but his charisma was mind-blowing in here. The role fitted him perfectly since he managed to make it sound his real self.
Takeuchi Yuko was always a magnificent Japanese actress no matter what’s her role. Here, she shined as usual.
Other actors were terrific; there weren’t any flaws to mention.
*As for characters, Halu was absorbing in here; you would want to see more of him on screen. Though, it was exaggerating to involve him in every problem but he’s the captain and this drama’s star so no problem.
Aki is a perfect lead character for a romantic-sports drama; she’s normal but catching at the same time.
Other characters were pleasant not only as a background for the main couples but also as enjoyable characters to watch. Anyhow, I believe that the strength of Jdramas comes from the multiplicity of characters.
*Appreciated characters: Makoto Tomo because they always had adorable scenes with Halu especially the latter.
*Relationships:
--->Team relationships: Whether it was Halu-coach or captain-team; relationships within the Blue Scorpions were captivating no matter how much you see it. Moreover, there was special friendship between some team members which made the team concept sounds really cool.
--->Romance: Halu and Aki had the most absorbing chemistry ever!! Even side romantic stories had good chemistry.
--->Friendship: Beside team friendship, Aki and her two friends had a respectable relationship as a group of girls. Well, it wasn’t very satisfying like the men relationship.
Cast: 9/10.
Acting: 8.5/10.
4) The ending:
I found happiness in the ending; not the usual happy ending that will pass like the wind but the type of ending that will bring you joy when you watch it.
The ending: 9/10.
5) My impression (How did it affect me):
*I watched this drama back in 2010 while it aired in 2004 but I wasn’t bothered with its old cinematography because it was simply amazing.
*Sports are always my “thing” no matter what’s the type of sport because I like that enthusiasm which appears in athletes eyes. Furthermore, the combination of sports and romance was always a great mixture to me *thinking of Buzzer Beat*
*This drama was the reason that made me fall in love with KimuTaku and watch more of his dramas.
*Is this drama memorable: Yes! The combination of sports and romance is extremely unforgettable for me.
My impression: 9/10.
6) Overall:
*If you like sports mixed with romance then you would love this.
*If you like Kimura Takuya then you have to watch this.
*If you like wonderful romantic stories then you might like this.
*Pride was a marvellous sports drama that had a great romantic concept while being faithful to J-Dramas’ comedy.
Overall: 9/10.

I LOVED IT...sincerely I loved every minute of it...the the Idea of revenge in itself isn't something new but still the plot was tight and I felt hocked to the story...
I was already a fan for writer Lee's dramas "Sang Doo let's go to school, Sorry I love you...
So I prepared myself for something full of emotions that will make me shed tears and I wasn't disappointed...
the truth is that it was a lot more better than what I expected it to be ^^...
Kang Ma Roo:
I was in love with that character it seemed a bit "stupid" for me it resembled Love more than revenge...and after few eps I started understanding it more...he was in love with Jea Hee and he understood her more than any one else he knew what she passed through during her childhood...
Ma Roo always protected Jae Hee since they were children he believed she was the Love of his life...every dream he from his childhood included her and he couldn't make anyone else take her place in his heart...Until he met Eun Gi...
even though it was supposed to be for revenge...it really wasn't like that because all what Ma Roo really wanted was to have Jae Hee back...
the story goes on and some bad events happen and that makes Ma Roo carries some feelings - out of guilt - for Eun Gi that sooner turns into Love that he will be ready to give his life for her and prays that he dies and then in another new life they would fall in Love again like normal people.
**one last thing to mention is that Song Joong Ki proved that he is a brilliant actor and not just a handsome face by playing that complicated character that good (that review is not full)

Rooftop prince is one of the best drama I've ever seen.
At first it doesn't really get you because you can't really understand the situation, but please, don't stop, go ahead and watch it to the end.
With the second episode you slowly start to understand what's happening.
And it begins.
One thing after another.
At times you laugh, at times you don't know what is going to happen or what to expect.
It's unpredictable.
The characters are really good.
Each one of them is really different and has great personality.
You have to discover them.
You'll find yourself saying 'She/he won't do it, will he/she?'
And it will be the contrary, eheh.
It happened also to me.
I loved the cast and the OST.
Park Yoochun is amazing, really.
I recommend it, absolutely.
Only one thing: at the end I didn't fully understand how he knew exactly what happened in the past, but it's a drama, it will be forever a mistery XD
