I just got this series on V-Cd and am a bit frustrated... I know it's eleven eps, but the version I have is on eight disks. So, basically, it's very chopped up. I'm not sure if the chinese V-CDs it was taken from were like this, or if someone along the line did so to save space. Also I'm tyring to decide if this is a Fansub or if the Chinese release was subbed. Some of the disks actually have a menu at the start, so it makes me wonder...

Does anyone know anything about this? OR better yet, anyone have the un-chopped version subbed? I know I'm most likely just missing opening credits, ect., but the way things break away and such is really getting on my nerves.

Most probably you got the vcd that was avalible in singapore.
You are just missing the opening credits and song. They chopped it off cause it was quite long. The one here is also chinese subbed so if the one you got is also similar then you have nothing to trouble over.

If you have a broadband connection, leech the excellent dvd rip version with Eng subs on A.D.clan BT site http://drama.afraid.org/bt/a.d.clan/ This version does have the opening and the credits, I think

Review: 8/10

This was a girly drama through and through, which is probably why I thoroughly enjoyed it even though it was predictable and lacked consistency.

The drama is about a normal Salaryman who randomly meets a mega super star. Through a series of events they get to know each other, and eventually fall in love. Their love is tainted, however, by the fact that they live in two completely different worlds. Before either can even confess to the other, they overthink their situation, at which point enters some healthy angst.

I was pretty indifferent to Kusanagi Tsuyoshi in this drama (though I must admit, I was quite fascinated with his unproportionate body). The supporting cast held some of my usual favourites, such as Toda Keiko and Morimoto Leo, which was dandy. But it was Fujiwara Norika who completely stunned me. I�fve only ever seen her in Akimahende, and wasn�ft complete partial to her acting. But she totally convinced me in this drama. I even felt for her in the last few episodes. She successfully made me believe in her emotions, I found her smiling face heartwarming. Will I run out and get all her dramas? Probably not, but I thought she was great in this show.

I would recommend this drama to anyone needing some romantic sap to gobble up.

For me I also enjoyed Kusanagi. His role represened my youthful wants for what I could not have.. probably most guys... I thouroughly enjoyed the ending.

At first I was somewhat indifferent to it but Harriet's continuos admiration forced me to give it a second and third look until I felt I began to see why she found it so entrancing. It was really the superb enchantment that Norika managed to radiate for the entire series.

I must say I am a FUjiwara fan. And really enjoyed this light and fluffy series.

O grand! I thought I would have been the only one, except for Ralph, of course.

In fact this was the series that turned me into a diehard Fujiwara fan.

I can see why she was so popular in beauty contests and commercials after seeing her radiance in Star no Koi.

Okay, just finished this one. I liked it, Kusanagi has pretty much convinced that he's the best actor of the "SMAP dudes". Good supporting cast, Keiko Toda, great as always, the gang at San Marco ham were hilarious. My only real complaint:

Click on button to reveal/hide spoiler:

He should have taken Hasegawa, it's a no brainer!! She's bright, funny, compared to Fujiwara's character who, other than the fact that she's a star, is pretty one-dimensional

But still, a good drama.

I wrote the exact same thing in my review of this drama lolol

Kusanagi performance was good but his character was really annoying, at least for me.
