Stand UP!! Rating: 7/10 (Bought & Watched) not the best dorama ever but certainly good. it made me laugh a lot and the story was also good. liked it enough to watch it a second time :)

Hana Yori Dango [花より男子] ABSOLUTELY AMAZING [Rating: 10/10] I just recently finished both season 1-2 and the movie and i must say it was one of the best doramas i have seen EVER. a must watch for any jdorama lover out there! Not only is the cast amazing but the acting is also incredible. you really get into from ep 1 and all the way through. The romance is also a plus :) you don't know whose side your on because they are all amazing!
Hana Yori Dango Season 2 [花より男子] A perfect ending for a perfect series. [Rating: ?/10] As expected, hyd2 was just as good if not better than the first, in my opinion of course. Though the first season was amazing, funny and had a great story line, i felt that it lacked the emotion and seriousness that season 2 was full of. sure there were moments when you wanted to just turn off the t.v (like all the beatings domyouji so frequently gives out to random guys) but the moments that make you go "awwww" and "omg" were so worth the watch. For example, the part where domyouji and makino are stuck in a cabin during a blizzard in which he regains his memory loss, or the episode where hanazawa rui confronts domyouji about his feelings towards makino. The emotion was natural. I also particularly enjoyed the fact that they also focused more on the whole cast rather than just the main protagonist. they ventured into soujirohs long lost love story and susumi's love dilemna as well as akiras family life. although i would have loved to learn more about akira, they did a pretty good job in adding more to the other characters stories. if you are a true fan of hyd this season will not disappoint you. i loved it as much as the first and it made for a wonderful watch. if you love hyd you might want to watch the final movie, which was made instead of a third season. :)
Hanazakari no Kimitachi e [花ざかりの君たちへ] ikuta toma is a jdorama GOD! [Rating: 9/10] now, i would have rated this dorama a flat 7, reason being the fact that sano and mizuki's relationship is not that interesting. But, thank god for nakatsu! lol he is the saviour of this jdorama! he IS hanazakari no kimitachi e he was the best part of it. i loved his character and i thought he was a better choice for mizuki and even though he wasnt the protagonist i enjoyed watching him more than any other character in the series. ikuta toma portrayed the role of nakatsu amazingly, i have seen other doramas with toma in them and this is by far the best of them all, his love for mizuki is unconditional, (he was even willing to accept homosexuality for mizuki) he's there for her from day 1 and is loyal to her. I thought that he would have been a much better pair for her. if the series would have ended up with mizuki picking nakatsu over sano then this would have received a perfect 10 from me, but because of the fact that mizuki goes for sano, who i am not against at all, he was great character and all but i just didnt see him caring as much for mizuki as nakatsu did, that is the only reason this series is a 9 but besides that ITS A GREAT AND HILARIOUS DORAMA A MUST WATCH FOR ALL DORAMA LOVERS!
Kimi wa Petto [きみはペット] MOMO <3 [Rating: 10/10] I really enjoyed watching kimi wa petto, although it wasnt my favorite dorama of all time, it was still a very entertaining watch. As always matsumoto jun did a fabulous job of portraying MOMO, sumire's pet. I thought he did well in the acting, he was very cute to watch as momo but also very good when he was just takeshi. This dorama is very heart warming and so adorable, also very fun to watch. i didnt think it was predictable since my predictions were that she would end up with her senpai, but just like i had hoped, she ends up with momo <3 which was the perfect ending to a great story. koyuki did an amazing job as sumire and matsumoto was just incredible. loved it i give it a 10!
Stand UP!! i gotta say, i disagree. [Rating: ?/10] although i read many reviews on how this dorama was "pointless" and "disturbing" i have to say, i strongly disagree. Being this the 1st japanese dorama i watched, i must say it was very entertaining. I loved it. it was really enjoyable, funny and the romance was cute. I loved the cast, and it didnt hurt that they were hot, though that wasnt the reason i kept watching. :) it had a different story line then the doramas ive been recently watching, but i loved it nonetheless. If i hadnt liked this dorama as much as i did i would not have discovered the world of jdorama. it's all thanks to Stand up! that i am a true and dedicated fan of jdoramas. :) since then i have seen about 23 seasons of jdoramas and hope to see more. this dorama was truly a good watch in my opinion with a lot of hidden messages as well as comedic genius :) i do recommend it 100%
