This J-Drama is a must watch, I think. There are many elements in this drama that reoccurs too much that somehow it makes the whole drama drag.
Though the concept of "girl-pretends-to-be-a-boy" is not a new concept after all, this drama manages to pull-off some neat "cheesy" tricks that would make some fanatics drool. It also managed to clean-out some blurry elements in the Taiwanese version, which helped out the whole version.
The cast of this show, individually, would never surprise anyone. But I must say, once you put the whole ensemble together in the screen, it's almost next to impossible not to be persuaded. I also found Nakatsu's character as somehow the life of the drama - being able to pull-off funny scenes just by doing some weird movements. Though pulling-off humorous scenes was easy for him, most of his serious ones are some of the most memorable scenes. A great character, indeed.
The drama has also created or branded particular scenes just by playing specific background songs. Every viewers would love to jam along as the drama progresses.
There are particular scenes in this show, that you would love to see over and over - but not the whole show. For some of its scenes, losses its' "magic" for some unknown reasons.
In general, the show is good - but not something that you would be thinking in your dreams.
