Synopsis
The story revolves around a young woman named Mei, who was rescued as a young girl by someone calling himself her "butler." With only a vague memory, though, the experience seems like just a dream. But one day, after her parents' accidental death, he appears: Rihito comes from a line of outstanding butlers, and he has been appointed to serve her! Now her ordinary life has completely flipped, as she discovers that she's actually the heiress to a fortune, and is forced to transfer to St. Lucia Girls' Academy, where all the students have butlers! As a result, her childhood friend Kento decides to enroll in a butler school so that he can stay close to her.

1. Worth watching [Rating: 8/10]
Cute, funny and touching. The twists towards the end are unexpected and interesting. The theme song is also very catchy. However, there are still a few unfinished chapters after the final episode, so hopefully a special will be made to clear them up. If you enjoyed Yukan Club and Hana Kimi, you'll definitely enjoy this one too.

2. I hate myself for liking this series. [Rating: 7/10]
At this day and age, super rich girl's private school where every student has an ikemen butler sounds like a fangirl's dream gone out of control, but this was the only series this season with a promising viewership rating curve, so I decided to give it a try.

The setting of this series was filled with plot holes. A campus 1/3 size of Tokyo in Japan would require at least $1 billion/year per student to function rather than ridiculously cheap $1 million, why are all butlers ikemen if romance is forbidden, almost everything happened in 4 buildings, what's the ridiculous size for... and that's just the plot flaws on academy itself. The story was simply absurd.

Although everyone looked incredibly beautiful, and fit their roles (especially Yamada Yuu) everyone's acting was horrible at best, even for super-quirky comedy. Only Iwasa Mayuko (Ryuuonji Izumi), Yoshida Riko (Miruku, child prodigy), and Mukai Osamu (Shinobu, Lucia's butler) managed to deliver an acceptable level of acting for my standards.

However, with all such flaws... this series had the drama and magic. The characters slowly grew on me, and there were many touching scenes despite extreme cheesiness. Comedy is excessively wacky, but I found myself laughing most of the time. And yeah, girls are hot, and so were the guys (though I still don't get why Mizushima Hiro is considered ikemen, he has a weird face). School/inheritance politics were portrayed very well.

Although this is a very, very poorly produced dorama, and sometimes extremely predictable, it had the energy and magic. Not a series you would drop half-way. Possibly all thanks to the strong original story in manga. Watch without thinking too much.

5. FEEL GOOD DRAMA [Rating: 8/10]
My opinion for this drama is that eventhough i think it is impossible to have this kind of service from a butler(and a handsome one too!) this is still a very nice love story, it's until the end that you realize it love and not service that the butler was giving to mei chan. VERY NICE DRAMA!!! happy ending!!!

I do like it, I really, honestly... dont/do. The girl, um... Eikura nana, She didnt interest me one bit. Though I hate to say it, I'd like to see more of this drama, just because of what I see. It was interesting, because I couldnt stop pressing the play button. Mizushima was um... fixated? But it rock, through the series.

I give it a seven, no matter what my ratings in the comments was. I'm to lazy to change it, so dont bother telling me to.

Boring and stupid. Although i found the first episode quite nice... the following episodes were a big letdown! didn't quite like the casting as well..... Most of the character were kind of WTF and the plot is just horrible (And the sheeps were soooo annoying showing up randomly). But i gotta say that i laugh pretty hard in some scenes (although just a few) so i give some points for that. BtW.. whats the point of having three dorms. and all that "stella" thing if the dorama dont use them at all....... good to watch if u r having some sleep disorder issues tough.

a little silly (hana kimi -esque but not as good) tho so far addictive

really comical and funny, Hiro look so handsome in this dorama (that is the main reason i watch it), quite predictable, but enjoyable

once i get past my hatred for the lead actress, Eikura Nana, i really enjoyed this show. it was very cute and it was nice seeing some familar faces from Hana Kimi and other dramas that i've seen before.

Another school dorama, even better than Hana Kimi, not very realistic but I think it's better than Hana Kimi as school dorama but not as good as Hana Yori Dango
9. Comments by Susan [Rating: 8/10]
Stupid and ridiculous. Gorgeous butlers and Kamen Riders... I really have mixed feelings about this drama. First of all, it has a pair of my favorite actors and Kamen Riders: Mizushima Hiro and Sato Takeru. Those boys were simply adorable and great as a pair of brothers. Eikura Nana wasn't the disaster at acting that I thought she'd be, based on the previews. I didn't quite "get" this drama but I enjoyed it nonetheless. You couldn't help but root for Rihito-sama, MeganeUdon and Mameshiba! I hope to see a more conclusive special or second season in the future as the ending leaves MUCH to be desired.
10. Comments by delaciel [Rating: 7/10]
Well, it's a 7.5 for me.
It started out good, as a fun, fresh, n hilarious light drama. But, toward the middle part, I started to wonder where this drama going? The only reason that made me finished this drama was Mizushima Hiro. I love Eikura Nana in Proposal Daisakusen, but not really here... But, the background and the set was good (beautiful). ^^

Hiro is an amazing actor. It helps that he's a hottie too. Other than that, the story was really good and seeing Mei's triumphs over each mishap she went through was really entertaining.
15. Comments by Patazilla [Rating: 5/10]
Well... sometimes entertaining, but mainly very dull and silly. I didn't really like the main character, stupid struggles a thousand times (and always on the same issue, she doesn't seem to learn anything)... very overrated.
16. Comments by ScrappedShinigami [Rating: 7/10]
Ok I rated it so highly because... it was so feel good, a lot of bad stuff happened but Mei-Chan kept managing to pull back. Rhitio was so pretty and lovable gah it makes you want a butler :P prolly not the best drama for someone who wants something serious and without bishounen :P XDDDD

It's been awhile since I rated a drama 10. I have the admit the drama is completely silly, but I was deprive from a good drama for a long time that Mei-chan totally blow me away. It was such a surprise how much I liked it, despite of its silliness. This drama turned me into a Hiro fan, he is just such an eye candy. :P

I can’t help but compare it to Hana Kimi. This has a more solid story but it was less entertaining and less funnier although it also has some funny moments, it just not cracks me up as Hana Kimi. The storyline was a typical manga/anime story with characters so familiar to me. But I must say that this has more hint of romance going on between the two leads. I guess this series turned out okay because they clearly stayed true to the manga.

Fun to watch - a light, sweet, ridiculous drama and is recommendable to those who no-depth plot but entertaining.
I don't like Eikura Nana's hairstyle, at first I didn't noticed it was her. Anyway, she's still lovely no matter what. The butlers were sooo entertaining... and cute. haha.

Entertaining and stylish. Amazing premise for a drama, but it wasn't executed to its fullest potential, alas. Mei and Rihito were pretty flat characters, IMO... especially Mei. *kicks her to the curb*

i must admit, there were some cute and really funny moments in this drama, it's a little more subdued than most gakuen dramas. but i didn't buy the main premise at all. i didn't really see the point of the dynamics between butler and their lady. is it service equates love? butler + boyfriend? and i thought hiro was the weakest link in the drama. i was rooting for mame shiba instead!
47. Comments by yeoni [Rating: 4/10]
Could they have given Nana a slightly better haircut that doesn't make her look like a football? XD
Though seriously, it was a cutesy drama loaded with ikemen with a wicked villain, I wasn't expecting a great storyline, albeit the first couple of episodes were interesting but draggy. The last couple of episodes, cheese much and seems like the scriptwriter gave up.

cute show. interesting concept of butlers for rich girls
49. Comments by iluvhyde [Rating: 9/10]
I was skeptical at the beginning, but after watching 4 episodes, I could safely recommend this. Mizushima did an excellent job as the protective, quiet and composed shitsuji.

Rated only 9, due to the fact that I think the female lead could be cuter.

I swear I couldn't stop staring at him the whole drama haha not to mention the plot of this drama is hilarious!! ooh and I swear I would rate this a ten if only the main character was a little less annoying :P Though the only reason really why I'm annoyed at her is because shes so lucky to have such a butler!! haha

Wow, it was long time since HYD and Hana Kimi, since I saw such an entertaining school drama. It's much more better than HYD. Well, not as good as Hana Kimi.

Since it's not supposed to be realistic, everything makes sense in here. I really LOVED this drama, although sometimes I think these "girls academy"-dramas can get to much, but this one developed in right speed and it was extremely interesting to watch, you never thought of any part being boring. Although its was very dramatic and girly sometimes, but which drama isnt and however it fit this one. Also I want to add that it was SUPERCUTE and there are few dramas that make me scream THIS much ^^

Very recommendable!
