Through 5 episodes, I'd seen enough. Four couples taking turns 'shuffling' partners ~ lil soul searchin goin on ~ come full circle ~ & I'm guessing live happily ever after. Course I'll never know. Course I don't care. It's a support group. And it's lame. It's not funny nor touching. Perhaps they should have 'shuffled' the actors? Typecasted Tamaki Hiroshi playin the whining Deer-Man again, Matsuda Shota the playboy and Tanihara Shosuke nother calm/soft spoken guy. |

Great character development and comedic moments helps this drama keep from being another prime-time soap opera about beautiful people with money. I can see why it's so popular.
I would've given it an 8.5 had it been on the meter, so I rounded up. ;) |

LOVE this drama! Its the type of drama that refuse to tell you what it is going to do... How can Love shuffle? That's basically the catch of this show. This is also one which I think will appeal better to adults.
Shota looks awesome in this, and I totally love his pairing with "Kairi". I rated this as "9" because I think Ep1 is pretty slow and boring. And if I wasn't persistent enough, I would have missed a great show. |

Definitely the best show of winter 2009. Sounds like it will just be a typical romantic comedy but it is so much more than that- wonderful cast of characters, good acting, twists and turns around every corner. Must-see! |

Best drama so far this season. Great casting, great script and a fresh and original feeling to the whole concept. Maybe lacking a little in depth (but just a little), which is why it doesn't get a full 10. |

This is a good one - I didn't get crazily emotionally attached, and it was FUN to watch, plus this drama had a few unexpected turns and twists in it which made it nearly perfect. |

this dorama become my all the time favorit dorama, i love the story, the chemistry between the characters, the only thing that bothered me is Tamaki Hiroshi skinny face, he just dont as handsome as he is in Nodame |

Tho I didn't expect too much of this show other than changing partners thoughout the drama. However I think the drama really protray each of the individuals choices and how they find the right partners in the end. It has an ending which I like to have it ended that way. The cast looks like having fun especially with the little NG scene at the end of each episode. |

Yay, Panda! This was the best drama of the winter 2009 season for sure. Nothing else matched it in the blend of comedy, intense romance, story and characters. I loved the cast and the couples, (though I think one couple in particular was forced together at the end) and rooted for them all. I especially enjoyed Tamaki Hiroshi and Karina, who pulled off a vibe that said "we're very comfortable as friends, but we're destined to be intensely intimate." Love... SHUFFLE! =D |

not a bad episode in sight! |
| 17. | Comments by EstherM [Rating: 8/10]
Love Shuffle is a not so innocent love story, an unpure romantic comedy if you like. A few scences are quite daring (for a J-drama not real life) and dialogue is witty and even post-modern at times. This drama is about eight trendy, good looking highly successful urbanites (aaah I hate them). The sets are too hip and impersonal for my taste and certain actors are really badly styled but it´s overall well scripted and that´s what matters. Cheesy music though! |

i am absolutely loving this show. the cast is just absolutely great. |
| 19. | Comments by Nermal [Rating: 8/10]
An adult drama that turned out much better than expected. I truly am giving this a 8.5 because I really enjoyed it but it would not go into my all time classics to watch. It a very nice comedy though and very easy to watch and get absorbed in. |

Weird but entertaining...the story is different...I find it unusual...although i don't agree with their pov on love but then i learned that we should give everyone a benefit of doubt |

Best of the season! |
| 22. | Comments by g_hunter1 [Rating: 9/10]
I can't tell how many times this drama has put a smirk on my face. It was well done. At first I thought it the plot was going to be lame but soon changed after the first episode. I really liked how the characters were developed through out the story. It was a bonus that it included one of my favorite EWF tracks, Fantasy. |
| 23. | Comments by Ezalor [Rating: 7/10]
Very refreshing dorama with an unusual idea. Focusing on the general style and production, it's a bit "back to the roots" and lets you remember the 90s Doramas. Good acting and gets never boring. But it is not that special that you would remember it for long. |
| 24. | Comments by Cerebus [Rating: 9/10]
After an iffy first episode Love Shuffle grew into one of the best doramas I've seen. Nojima Shinji must be the best writer currently working in Japanese drama. It has excellent plotting, pacing, characterisation and dialogue. The show grows into much more something complex and compelling once it goes beyond the initial idea of the Love Shuffle and delves deeper into the lives of the protagonists. Yoshitaka Yuriko proves she is one of the best young actresses around without saying a word, and there is a real chemistry between Tamaki Hiroshi and Karina. The real surprise is Matsuda Shota who I never rated before, who shows given the right material he's a pretty decent actor. His photo-shot confessional scenes where superb. |

not bad |
| 26. | Comments by strawberrynkiwi [Rating: 9/10]
I just love how this drama is so witty. The puns they use are so funny and smart. The OST is great, it gets a little bit dark somethings, but every episode made me actually laugh out loud. aiai and usatan. YAY PANDA :) |
| 27. | Comments by csweet [Rating: 8/10]
This drama took a few episodes to find its feet. The comedy was the best part, but some of the dramatic moments worked as well. |
| 28. | Comments by PaperCaged [Rating: 9/10]
I was reluctant to watch it at first because it just sounded silly. Even during the first few episodes, I thought to myself, "this can't end well." However, I really enjoyed this show! It's not the typical romantic love story; it's full of interesting characters, ideas, and puns. |
| 29. | Comments by sw33t_laydee [Rating: 10/10]
I really liked this drama a lot. It was a different kind of love story with multiple perspectives. |
| 30. | Comments by Signo [Rating: 8/10]
my 100. dorama!! a refreshing and funny relationship drama. much better than expected. (11.04.2009) |
| 31. | Comments by rhninjaxe [Rating: 9/10]
I love this show a lot, so i decided to give it a 10 at first. The plot does not seem to be possible in the real world, and we understand that.
But i love it how they always come out to the lobby and crowd with each other.
I thought one of the plot is going to totally ruin my impression, but in the end, it turn out as a even better effect. I just would want to see them out having more fun together at the end, instead of starring them in individual couple.
So i will at last give it a 9 for that. |
| 32. | Comments by mushroomsoup [Rating: 10/10]
Love Shuffle is overwhelming. I especially liked the cast, maybe the exception of Kanjiya Shihori because I don't really fancy her acting. I think Yoshitaka Yuriko did a terrific job in this, she's really convincing!
Not one episode made me feel bored, there were light hearted moments and intense moments in which sometimes gives off a deep message IMO. The chemistry between Tamaki Hiroshi and Karina is awesome! This drama is really one of the best I've ever watch and it doesn't deserve the low ratings it got.
The Yay Panda puns are epic. |
| 33. | Comments by Patazilla [Rating: 9/10]
I liked this drama because it's quite different from others and very special in some ways. I first expected it to be completely different from what I found it to be but it did only take 2 episodes to get me interested despite this. Now I really long for some other dramas with the actors, they were all quite gorgeous, even though I certainly favoured Tamaki Hiroshi, Matsuda Shota and Karina, being a fan of them. But the other characters were just as interesting even though it took me some time to like some of them... |

I'll give this a 9 because it probably is the best for this season. The chemistry between Kei and Ai Ai is very pronounced that even without reading the cast, the audience knew too well that they'd end up together - they just give off that kind of aura. The supporting casts are just as awesome, and the love stories between unlikely characters made me feel all teen-ish again ^^,
My only problem with this series is Mei's character, which is that of a spoiled, selfish brat princess who hides herself in pretentious innocence. Seriously, what did Kei love about her in the first place? I keep getting annoyed by her indecisive nature that even the other characters keep getting affected.
Putting aside, I really enjoyed the series and think that it's really worth the tears I cried over Ojiro and the pretty girl (forgot her name ^^,) The ending is great, i just really hoped that Mei had acquired a fatal illness or something for her not to ruin the perfectness of the character-pairing. Thumbs up for Love Shuffle! Yay, Panda! |

| 44. | Comments by pinkokoro [Rating: 8/10]
novel ideal, while the ideal can be bit far-fetched at time and the love shuffle thingy is not something I'd approve of as a matter of value, the drama is an interesting watch! with nice catchprase and all. |

| 46. | Comments by aiscess [Rating: 8/10]
One of those series that I almost not seen but good thing I was able to. First thing first, my rating for the first round would be 7 because the series really became interesting on the second round. And because I’m satisfied with the way they end up with their own partners, all in all, my rating is 8.5. |

Actually a 7.5/10... Pretty enjoyable drama and good performances from the four main characters, but the four main supporting characters were lacking and the final pairings were predictable... Also, the music choices were overused to the point of irritation. |
| 51. | Comments by iheartp [Rating: 6/10]
really liked airu! and nice to see "chiaki" as another character. uso....joe :P |
| 52. | Comments by nishishi [Rating: 9/10]
Almost perfect... honestly i was not in the mood for "romantic" genre when i first started watching Love Shuffle. But the show is really enjoyable! the casting is amazing and all the characters r really interesting (and Love Shuffle really did a great job buildin' up the characters as the show goes on). The plot is really well done.. i loved the fact that there were so many funny scenes in this show (The Pandas jokes always succeeded in making me laugh). The ending is amazing! Although one love couple is pretty obvious since the beginning i was surprised by the other ones. Well... i dont give this a 10 just because some scenes were a lil boring (just a few)... if i could i would give it a 9.9 iut of 10 |
| 53. | Comments by flamethunder85 [Rating: 7/10]
Got bored in the beginning and thought that the idea of love shuffle is kinda ridiculous, but somehow managed to finish the entire episodes, and I'm glad I did. I like the interaction between the suicide girl and Shota-kun. Mysterious yet sweet. |

A fun drama. I laughed so much watching this. It kept me going...wondering who would end up together. Although it had it's not so good moments, the comedy made up for it. |
| 58. | Comments by chazarst [Rating: 8/10]
This drama was different and amusing. I appreciated the fact that this wasn't a typical romance drama. The idea of Love Shuffle was interesting, although I don't think I'd approve of it of it was executed in real life... |
| 59. | Comments by Jeanxi [Rating: 7/10]
Interesting premise and a great cast. The drama as a whole is pretty entertaining, though it does have its unbearably cheesy moments. The main reason why this drama doesn't get a higher score from me is due to its sometimes slow and/or completely illogical plot development. For example, I never really understood who was the one Mei really liked or if she actually liked both men at the same time. Even though some of the love story plot lines were really crappy, I absolutely adored the pairing of O-chan and Kairi. I thought Kikuri's story was the saddest, and the scene where O-chan talks to Kikuri in the last episode was truly the most touching moment in the drama (I cried ~>.<~). Also, I love the puppy that Kei adopts towards the end!! It's definitely too cute to look like a puppy that was abandoned though. The panda jokes are also great, especially "frying pan da" and "Japan da!" ^o^ Too bad the ending was rather disappointing... |
| 60. | Comments by daniela [Rating: 10/10]
awesome!!! great story, great actors..and I loved those philosophical lines (Eros x Thanatos)..although I really don't like actress Kanjiya Shihori, the fact that she was in it doesn't change my overall impression. |

I was persuaded by all the good comments given by the viewers here. When I looked at the ratings, it wasn't quite persuasive but i was like, 'what the heck!' and i did NOT regret it at all~~ it is a really good series (once you get past the lovers being shuffled about part) and it actually opened my eyes that there are actually a lot of different people out there with different motives. A MUST WATCH! |
| 69. | Comments by Swedish_Japan_Lover [Rating: 10/10]
I have some small complaints but they're not enough to not giving this drama a ten. It stands out, contains an unpredictable cast yet very talented, didn't seem to dramatic, didn't get boring, made you want more, and a very entertaining story as well!
M-M!
(Although since I'm great my guess about the ending was right! moaha) |

| 72. | Comments by KAZdoramma [Rating: 6/10]
well no actually cus i rate this doram 6.5 but just cudnt give it a 7.....anyways yeah its a good watch, it got low rating but dont be put off by it cus if ur looking for a funny comedy this it a good pick! Tamaki Hiroshi is funny and Karina is cute as always. Another actor i was suprised with was Yoshitaka Yuriko. She was cute and a delight to watch. The only downside of this was as the game LOVE SHUFFLE takes its toll on the characters as they swap their boyfriends and girlfriends, I found Kanjiya Shihori increasingly irritating!! but nonetheless, not a bad dorama overall! |

I actually liked this show; I didn't expect that I would and pretty much just chose it because subs were taking too long for Ohitorisama. Anyway, this show is about a group of people who decide to switch partners (basically a form of swinging). The series stays fairly surprising and interesting and it also has the aspect of adorable humor. A lot of the jokes involve some knowledge about Japanese culture, fyi. |
| 75. | Comments by Sorata [Rating: 8/10]
First of all and most important this dorama has amazing writing, the dialogues are really great and the plot well constructed, lots of plot twists and good characters.
The cast was really good, my favorite characters were Ojiro(Matsuda Shota), Kairi(Yoshitaka Yuriko) and Airu(Karina). I really loved the end between Ojiro and Kairi, really sweet and romantic. Airu was such a great female character, i would choose her on a heartbeat just based on her awesome personality, her ending was really sweet too with the slap and shoving Kei(Tamaki Hiroshi) with authority against the car lolol.
All the times between the four in the hall of their houses was really cool and it was there that the best dialogues were used, i allways laugh with those Panda "puns"(Lupin da, Japan da, etc).
I´m not a big fan of happy endings but this one i really liked, it´s like everyone lived happy ever after... |

This is funny dorama to exchange lovers.... the most fantastic thing that MAtsuda Shota and Tamaki Hiroshi kissed (Man and Man) and laos there is a man with BiSexual character very2 funny....with Yuriko who play like a crazy girl that can see unseen things.... However this dorama make me laugh a lot very2 good story otsukaresama deshita..... ^^ |
