1. Nice Drama~!! [Rating: 9/10]
I just finished watching it and it was GOOD~!!! I love all the cast there especially Kousaku and the guy named Haraguchi... hehehe~!!! The story is a bit weird, but it's good and interesting. And there are some GREAT parts because of their crying! I really like when Kame is crying and with his angry face. He is such a great actor. Also the others!!!

All in All... I LOVE THE DRAMA~!!!!!!!

2. Unrealistic boxing at its best [Rating: 10/10]
Thanks to Kamenashi's excellent acting, the corniness of this drama never gets embarassing. The storyline is great, and each episode will keep you laughing and wanting more. Only downfall is that it only has 9 episodes...

3. Light-hearted fun [Rating: 6/10]
Despite the wacky storyline, I enjoyed this drama. If you're just looking for some light-viewing then I'd recommend this. Kamenashi is real funny, cute and spastic and there's quite a few laughs in there to keep u watching~!

4. Better than what I expected [Rating: 8/10]
Kamenashi and Meisa's characters were both very cute in here... The storyline was pretty predictable, but entertaining nonetheless. I'm not usually a fan of trying-to-be-funny type dramas, but this one was executed well. I'd recommend it if you're just looking for a light-hearted drama -- this drama would definitely brighten your day.

5. A new challenge for Kazuya Kamenashi! [Rating: 8/10]
A love-Kömedie, einHappy End has a new role for Kazuya Kamenashi, well, I have laughed!
I can also say that it is also about a forbidden love between a nun and a man, there is much despair among the individuals!

Be sure to see the series is not necessary!, Men can also between the series fun!

I'm not sure whether to give this series a 6 or a 7, but I ended up giving it a 6. The show is based off of a manga series about a lightweight boxer who is a glutton and falls in love with a beautiful nun named Sister Angela. Kamenashi Kazuya plays Hatanaka Kousaku, a boxer who loves food. In fact he loves it so much that he is able to eat tons of it, but because of that has to starve himself before the weigh-ins so that he can compete.

The situations in this story are outlandish, but so funny. It was a pleasure to watch Kousaku maintain composure while trying to lose weight and proclaim his love towards Sister Angela. The acting was over the top, but I felt that it was appropriate for the tone of the show. It's worth watching if you want to see something funny.

Very funny and relaxing. Kame did a great job xD
4. Comments by altec [Rating: 10/10]
So funny. Kame was really hyper in this one. I recommend this one.
5. Comments by Di@na [Rating: 7/10]
HMMM ok lets see:

POSITIVE: its very very veeery funny! and kame's charmy smile
and his flirting makes it even more lovely to watch this drama.

NEGATIVE: hmm there is just something that is missing..its like
when you watch the first episode it is really sweet and funny
but later nothing really new will come.. every episode is about
another box fight and how kame tries desperately to catch
attention of sister angela..its like every episode is like the other
one. thats kind a boring you know.

Kamenashi Kazuya: First of all I love Kame and obvisously he is
the star of this dorama so if you are not his fan do not watch it
LOL Kame plays the naiv,cute boxer (who is like ALWAYS hungry
XD) with alot of passion and you believe him..especially his love
to sister angela. He acts very good and shows also some of his
boxing skills. BUUUT I have to admit when you compare him to
the original manga character he does not suits physically to this
role. he is waaay too skinny and you just DO NOT believe that
he is 60 kg because he looks MUCH slimmer. Boys like Massu
(boygroup NEWS) would suits better to this role..he is slim but
has more muscles and a chubby face. BUT HEY never mind!
Kame still did a great job and I love him in this role so its
worth watching. ^___^

The production value of the this drama was not up to par with the more popular dramas. It seem it was kind of budgeted. It could have been much better. It sort of felt like it lacked some substance sometimes. But still, it was pretty entertaining to watch.

I'm giving it a 10!!!!! Kame and yamada are both in the show...this is what leads me to watch this show...the starting of the show is nt that interesting but when the story slowly builds up...it gets addictive...

both kame and yamada's acting is v.gd!!! I give yamada two thumbs up for his acting in episode 6....keep up the gd wrk boys~~~

I always dislike anything that involve boxing...And yes, I was right. I dislike the series. Plus, Kame is too skinny to be a gluttonous boxer. He looked so underweight.

I am not a fan of Kosaku's character. I found him really annoying. Being Catholic, this story really didn't make much sense. But I enjoy watching Kame and Meisa is so gorgeous, especially in the last episode with normal clothes. and Katsumi-kun was so cute with his hair clipped up. It was entertaining.

Kamenashi Kazuya (Nobuta Wo Produce). Kame's obsession for food vs keeping his weight down. Plus his interest in Sister Angela. 1st episode had some good laughs but..... if you've seen one episode, you've seen em all. :(

It has a weird plot but actually it's an interesting series. I enjoyed it because of the casts, they are LOVED~!!! Kousaku is super cute, Kame did a great job being Kousaku. Even though he is a bit skinny, he could really box. Kousaku and Sister Angela's love story is really cute! I enjoyed watching really!
Kamenashi Kazuya is truly a great actor!

COMPLETE. SS. surprisingly entertaining. started it without expectation but it turns out to be a very cute drama. I personally think kazuya did his best with all the facial expression. 1 pound fukuin is a light drama, and a quite entertaining one.

Actually, i dont like kame. i've watched diz drama bcoz of the storyline. In this drama, i realy love to watched it, the started, ending was realy make me feel happy to watched it. Kame give his 'baka' character like dat and not like always so 'cool' juz like in nobuta and gokusen. Kame is really take the different role from other drama. And, guess wat? after i've watched diz comedic drama, i like n can accept kame. Sister angela also, she really suitable 4 dat character. Really love the drama dat a boy who run to girl he like.. not as always, a girl will fall in love to a guy!! this drama was really intresting n not will you feel bored. diz drama will make me want to watched it again n again..

Quite funny but the plot was so so, I prefer other kind of comedies like Nodame or Hana Kimi
39. Comments by aoi_dolphine [Rating: 6/10]
Could have been a better drama. The ending is so predicable. Other than Kame acting so lovely cute in his role, I dun think it deserved any other credit than that. It's entertaining if you are KT fans.

Well, it was very short and had some truly cringe-worth moments. But overall I enjoyed this drama, Kamenashi Kazuya and Okada Yoshinori especially! In fact, they were definitely the highlight of the series. I did not, however, enjoy Kuroki Meisa as Sister Angela one bit. She's very pretty but she does not have much talent as an actress. It's just a bit strange for a Japanese nun to have an English name as well. In the end I wish I could have seen more development of Katsumi (Yamada Ryousuke) and Ueda's (Okada) relationship. Theirs was far more interesting than Hatanaka and ther Sister's!

I didn't like the whole nun concept but other than that,i think the drama is ok. I like the ending. Kame did a good job and he puts a lot of emotion to this character which made kousaku interesting ^^
