|---|
Four schoolboys find themselves the last virgins left at school. During the summer holidays, a girl they knew as children eleven years ago, moves back to the neighborhood. Despite their childhood attraction to her, they realize she is a mere shadow of the "princess" they all thought they knew. This story of summer - love, friendship, school, family, the hypocrisy of adults, complications of life, experience and failure - is set in an everyday shopping district and shows the clumsiness of children who have developed a little later than their peers. It's a bright romantic comedy that both young and old can appreciate. | | TBS |

interesting.. have never seen a drama with this kind of plot before.. took a lot of risk to do ne.. but why it was so successful must be due to the stellar cast, ninomiya, yamapi, oguri, narimiya suzuki and the supporting cast.. all of them did great.. not a super plot though, what struck me most were the words used.. they really meant a lot.. to give a message to the audience kana? i would say credit should go to anne-chan.. she portrayed just the right image for a girl like chie.. and she did it really well.. another character that left me touched was ken-ken ne.. i somehow would prefer chie together with him.. maybe because i always believe that guys who know what they want always wins in the end.. but somehow.. well.. still great, i think.. <33 | | Reviewed by arashinokoto on 2 April 2004 | | 7. | Nice!

I am stunned by Suzuki An's performance - to be able to see her bring out the character of Chie phase by phase made this dorama well worthwhile. I must say, not being a Yamapi fan much, I really did love the character of KenKen very much. Narimiya and Oguri made me crack up so many times and Nino's funny faces were too adorable! But sometimes, in the close-ups... whoa, some of these expressions were pretty scary!
Some one had previously commented that the drama was very "American Pie"-ish and I guess it is to a certain degree, but undercutting the apparent plot of 4 good friends working very hard to lose their virginity by the end of summer and meeting with a lot of bad luck, there is a theme of friendship and growth in this drama. You will see the boys transform in men, is not physically, then emotionally and mentally - which they find out is much more important.There are some quite suggestive scenes in this drama and if you are bothered by nudity and sexual references, then, I guess it would be better if you stayed away from this drama. But if you can handle it, then I must recommend "Stand UP!!" to you! And excellent plot with a very positive message, it will make you feel all fuzzy and warm-hearted. ^^ | | Reviewed by nagaioyasumi on 8 May 2004 | | 8. | hentai na otoko [Rating: 10/10]

I really was disgusted by the first few episodes of this series. At first it seemed kinda vapid and perverted, like a drama for 16 year old boys high on girls or something.

This was a fun series to watch though in the beginning I thought that it was quite boring and dull, it almost seemed like a Japanese re-make of "American Pie". Luckily though I was wrong, as the episodes progressed the characters had more depth to them and the storyline became much more interesting (ie not only about four boys wanting sex).
Anyway, instead of what I initially thought it would be about, it became more about friendship and love. ^_^ I wanted to watch this drama because I've enjoyed Oguri Shun in his other dramas so much, but instead I found that Yamashita Tomohisa as Ken-Ken was extremely adorable. I would recommend this drama for people who want something comical and cute to watch. | | Reviewed by donna8157 on 31 March 2005 | | 15. | disturbing [Rating: 1/10]
example: the final scene has the four main characters holding up boxes of condoms in a creepy, worship kind of way.
the guys are obviously gay but don't know it (i mean, a fixation on TRAINS, listening to couples having sex through a peep-hole, watching porn together...?) i realize a lot of people give this show high ratings because "oh, so-and-so is hot! blah blah blah!"--if you're not watching the show for the guys, there is no other point in putting yourself through this freudian nightmare. | | Reviewed by tsukihime on 10 May 2005 | | 16. | STAND UP and Do Something!

Right. To tell you frankly I am not a fan of sex comedies that I didn’t even watch American Pie 1, 2 or 3. I saw some bits and I thought they weren’t even funny at all. Hmm if they come up with another one, geeezz I don’t know.
Unfortunately for me, “Stand Up!!” here is what you could refer to as a teen sex comedy (uh oh). Funny coz I am forced to see this series because of the glamorous ensemble this show has to offer. It has like eight (8) recognizable and promising young actors from the Japanese entertainment industry. Most of them are those I am very fond of watching (that includes Suzuki and Tsukamoto).
The story revolves around four teenage boys and their uproaring obsessions with sex. When they find out that they are one of the last few virgins in school, after being humiliated by a bunch of kinky young school girls, they started their confusing fraternity of which they call “the purity group” -- they want to uphold purity and yet they wish so much to have their “first time.” Okay it’s understandable.
During the summer holidays, a girl whom they have known since childhood 11 years ago has come back to their neighborhood. Remembering their childhood attraction towards her, they realized she has become merely a shadow of the “princess” they all have known her to be. Now in their seventeen (17) years, in the height of the summer holidays -- all-grown up yet with so much to learn. These five (5) good friends discover all over again the beauty of friendship, and the bright and hopeful future they have together.
Lead actor Ninomiya Kazunari, he plays Shohei -- babyish and a little insecure about himself, but he respects and loves his friends like no other. He falls for his schoolteacher who apparently admits that she would date anyone younger than her age. Anne Suzuki, she plays Chie. She is sensitive and optimistic, a lovely girl behind thick glasses and a rowdy appearance. She comes back to see his old friends for some secretive reasons. Then there’s Yamashita Tomohisa, he plays Ken-Ken, an honest and sensitive young man who has a weird fascination with railway transports. Despite coming from a broken family and the burdens of having a problematic mother -- he seem to be the most decent and mature of the four (4) boys. Kozi played by Oguri Shun, is the silent but sporty type. When it comes to girls, he can’t seem to say things right to his dismay. He is the team captain of the local youth football club. Although he is a popular player who can pretty much attract any girl, his naivety towards the opposite sex makes him almost gullible and boring. Then there’s Narimiya Hiroki who plays the music-loving guy named Hayato, is the group’s funny and outrageous character. He is obsessed with peeking at girls’ underwear, and he seems to be the most perverted of them all.
I am pleased to say that this isn’t just like most cheap teen flicks I keep on seeing these days. It may seem very silly at times -- thanks to the boys doing some really ridiculous stuff in their quests to have their first experiences. But as the show progresses you start to get used to their silly ways and you begin to acknowledge their immaturity and flaws.
Story-wise, it’s a little different where they throw in all the jokes and silly stuff in the beginning and up towards the end; and unexpectedly the story turns upside down before it finishes. There is a sudden change of atmosphere as the story ends with a somber incident that could have a huge effect on the viewer. I believe the character development was quite good that regardless of how the ending turns up to be like, the audience is still pretty much involved with the characters. But I really think there’s something missing in the plot with regards to one significant incident in the story’s latter part. Apparently it wasn’t resolved properly. I believe they could have had a better and happier ending for it if they included something to fill up that hole.
But anyways, I’m really happy I took the time to watch this. It isn’t just seeing all these young actors in one drama series that makes it interesting; But it was a big bonus to see Anne Suzuki’s acting prowess yet again. She truly is becoming one of the industry’s most brilliant young stars. It’s amazing how well she handled such a complex and almost difficult role. Ninomiya Kazunari, after seeing him in his serious role in “The Blue Light” of which both him and Suzuki starred as brother and sister, it was a quite surprising to see how funny and infectious he can be in a comedic role.
To summarize, I think “Stand Up!!” was quite a good series, not the best though, but it was able to tackle a sensitive subject without being too intimidating or insensitive. There are enough positive messages we could all get from this drama. Teenagers could misinterpret the message of the story, that’s why it was given a rating for adults. However I think young teens should see this provided that they would be wise enough to understand the situations in the story, or better yet be accompanied by someone older.
“Stand Up!!” celebrates the values of family, love, and friendship. Sex isn’t the foundation of a relationship if you’re still clueless enough to understand. Love is wonderful and sacred, and it blesses anyone who values the true reason for it. “Stand Up” for what is right, and you’d be thankful you did so. | | Reviewed by Padme on 13 May 2005 | | 17. | stand up!!

I'm not gonna say that "if you don't like this, obviously there's something wrong with you"... but really, those that judge this drama too hard are just being too judgemental. ^^;; It's nothing but FUN. It's not meant to be taken too seriously, otherwise it wouldn't be FUN. The four main guys (besides being hot >.>) have excellent, excellent chemistry, as if they'd truly all known each other that long. The plot is enjoyable, hentai or not, though it still has a fun feel to it. ^-^
This drama also has hidden messages too~ ^-^ Aside from the boys wanting to get laid all the time, I think it shows there is such a thing as growing up too fast. The proof is in the adults, as you notice them always trying to discipline their kids, but still acting childish (and just as hentai as them) otherwise. It's a fun youth drama that I think everyone should watch at least once, biases aside ^-^ I love it so much, myself :D | | Reviewed by mallepa on 8 August 2005 | | 20. | Boring [Rating: 6/10]

Some others may think this drama is pretty much stupid and pointless, but we are all entitled to our own opinions. And as for me, I liked this drama! It's one of the first ones I've ever watched, and it got me laughing in every episode. It has a poor plot, and yes, it is silly and quite pointless. But there is just a certain charm in this drama that got me hooked until the end.
The acting was mediocre; Nino, I think, is a great actor and should be in more of these quite interesting roles. YamaPi, I have to admit, was stiff in this drama and he wasn't as convincing.

first up, i registered here just so i can tell people how awesome this dorama is. no, seriously. these are but my opinions so uhm, yeah... (was written right after i finished watching the last ep).
I had finished watching the dorama STAND UP! last night and words cannot express how much I loved the show. But I値l still try:
- If stand up was a person, I'll ask him to marry me and have my babies.
- Stand up! would make Akira Kurosawa proud and all the other Asian dramas feel puny and look crappy.
- In my next lifetime, I'd gladly reincarnate to be・Stand Up!
I hope those gave justice to my feelings.
I don't normally watch TV series but this I can say- it's the best Asian drama I've seen by far. It's an eclectic blend of Japanese humor and teenage angst, mushy love and sexual undertones・ with hilarious yet profound lines thrown at the sides. They suit my taste very well and indeed, all the eleven episodes were worth watching.
Given that it had a power cast, I believe the drama would've faired as well even if other actors played the characters but it helped of course, that the lead roles were given to Nino (Shohei), YamaPi (Ken-Ken), Hiroki (Tayo), Shun (Ko) and Anne (Chie).
Arashi's Kazunari Ninomiya portrayed his part so awesomely, he should've won an acting award for it. Or maybe he didn't really have to internalize much for Sho-chan may be in many ways, similar to him. Bottomline is, one can't help but sympathize with and fall for the character especially his dorkiness and naivety. If prior to this, I liked Nino, his dark gums and Konseki, he definitely blew me away with Sho-chan and his 兎eehhh??".
Suzuki Anne was very convincing as the perky and youthful Chie, whom Ken-Ken and Sho eventually fell in love with. Seriously, I'll pay a million bucks to play her character. Many people may not be too amused with her but you have to give it to the girl for pulling it off.
Now I don't kid around when I say that I have cried in every single episode. Then again, I am naturally emotional and weep over the death of mosquitoes. But there really is something about how the story unfolded and how the characters realized their feelings that brought back so much memory.
Because I am such a fan of unrequited and unspoken love, too, the relationship between Shohei, Chie and Ken-Ken made it truly golden. Theirs reminded me of the Dawson-Joey-Pacey and Dao Ming Si-San Cai- Hua ze Lei love triangles and tell me, how can one not love that?
Stand Up! was a very honest depiction of the youth and their struggles to fight peer pressures (or give in to them). It talked about their curiosity, their frustrations, their victories and their friendships. Not only was it written incredibly well, the cinematography and visual style has also blown me away that I have vowed to make a show or a movie that'll level its greatness someday. Yes, it has owned me that much, i wonder what took it so long to come to my life.
So maybe this is but an overrated review of the series and my fangirl self has just taken over. And maybe someday I'll get to watch another show again that'll make me love my craft more. And maybe, just maybe, one of these days I'll stop listening to Konseki. But one thing I know for sure, amidst all the crap that TV throws our way, it brings joy to my heart that there are still masterpieces like Stand Up! which are so life-alteringly brilliant.
And for that, i'd remain a virgin.

StandUp is not as bad as you think it is once you finished watching the whole show. I must say, the only episodes worth watching was episode 7-11. If you do start watching from the begining, maybe you should do what i did, torturing your own eyes with pegs just in case you fall asleep. The first 6 episodes of this dorama was simply rubbish, shitty, full of crap. Really. From episode 7, you actually feel that this dorama actually does have a plot, -the first 6 episodes felt like random bits of everyday life put into a 45 minute show- but episode 7-11 comes to a more serious story with a solid plot revolving around the 5 friends, evenly shared. There were a lot of funny parts and a little touching moments. You would even probably wish that you had such friends in real life. The simply ignorant and quite cold Yamapi suddenly becomes sweet and shows how much he cares about his friends in the last 5 episodes. The ending was somehow fun but the condom thingi is just too weird. Ignoring the first 6 episodes, this dorama is fun, 8/10, but if you count the first six episodes i'm only going to give 5/10 coz there were only lust and no laughs, and... no story!!!

Okay, let's just get this out of the way - yes, I watched this because Ninomiya Kazunari and Oguri Shun were in it. Don't kill me, but I had no idea who YamaPi was at the time. Still don't like him that much. Anyway - ahem.
This drama - wow, what a letdown. Although I ususally stay away from these type of dramas, I thought I'd bear through it because of Oguri-san and Ninomiya-san. What a mistake! The story follows four boys, the last virgins in their schools, attempting to lose their virginity before high school is over. The first six episodes, while not horrible, are just moreover boring, and contain a little too much of hormone-driven boys. While I thought that there would be a turnaround starting in Episode 7, it led to a MAJOR disappointment in the last episode. I won't say what happenes, but the lesson I thought the boys learned at the end of the final episode was clearly NOT learned, as shown in the very, very end. Let's note the boys worshipping the condoms at the very end.
Anywho, even though the acting was substantial, if not exceptional at some parts, the plot was GREATLY lacking, and... well... horrible. And it really did ruin the entire show for me. 3/10 | | Reviewed by summershine on 22 November 2006 | | 35. | funny and entertaining [Rating: 9/10]

Before even watching the drama, I was told that it was very much like the movie American Pie, where you have a group of boys with one common goal: getting laid before the end of the year. I figured it would be a good filler drama that would be at least entertaining, if nothing else.
I found it really hard to get into the drama, but by the time the six episode rolled by, I began to notice a slight shift in the attitudes of the characters. The drama became less and less like American Pie, and more like a morally sound drama. I began to enjoy the dynamic between the DB4 and the town’s people. I felt compassion for the boys and their views on love and “purity”. By the end, I found the drama enjoyable, silly, and altogether sensible in its theme.
This drama is slowly helping me get over my dislike for Nino. His “EHHHHHH?!”’s are memorable and, in my opinion, he’s tied for first place as the best actor out of the four. He’s tied with Narimiya Hiroki, who is a very versatile and convincing performer. Oguri Shun and Yamapi weren’t exactly brilliant, but they passed for the roles required of them. Suzuki Anne was brilliant, as always, and I loved the random actors and actresses (Matsumoto Rio, Becky, Tsukamoto Takeshi, etc) who sprinkled random scenes with randomosity.

A Dorama specifically created for the teens. 4 virgin schoolboys trying to ditch away their virgin status, by trying all means and methods to get bed with girls. However, it always ends up nothing and i guess this is a moral dorama aiming at youngsters out there. Having casual sex with strangers or one who dont love is kinda morally incorrect. Guess nowadays youngsters take casual sex too lightly and that is probably why, this dorama is ever produced! Educating through dorama is simply one small step! | | Reviewed by popdod on 21 July 2008 | | 42. | Best Dorama EVER!!! [Rating: 10/10]
I love this dorama with all my heart. My wife doesn't like it saying that it must be a "guy thing." Time to divorce her ass! Excellent writing and super funny! | | Reviewed by americavstaiwan on 17 December 2008 |

OMG! This drama is HILARIOUS! There were bits that were disturbing, but all those funny scenes and and the happy ending rules over it. =) Those 4 guys are total dorks, but that's why we all like them. lol. I recommend this drama for those looking for funny yet touching dramas!!
P.S. Shouhei ( Nino) acted really well in this drama. ( well, he's a good actor anyway) | | 2. | Comments by marzyu [Rating: 8/10]
Wow . . . . the ending is sooooo different than what I was thinking . .. . but it's a pretty good drama!!!!! it's too horny though haahahah!!! beware of some nude scenes near the end and beware of the sounds too ><" | | 3. | Comments by ahmel [Rating: 9/10]

This parallels in the bizarrze traditio of "American Pie" without the crude humour. | | 6. | Comments by dt [Rating: 10/10]

nino,pi,shun,nari,and an are soooo nice.... | | 7. | Comments by rikastar [Rating: 8/10]
The beginning of the series is hilarious and riddiculous at the same time. It's not all 'American Pie' though as it tackles serious stuff, especially towards the end. The 4 'dotte' boys are all so funny and endearing, I can't even pick my favourite. Suzuki An as Chie holds her own very well too. | | 8. | Comments by Lauralye76 [Rating: ?/10]

This series really gave me some good laughs! It's the type of dorama that makes your mother uncomfortable, but would be totally fun with friends. It's exaggerated, but some of the topics that they touch on do prove true of teenagers in today's world. | | 10. | Comments by alexisphinx [Rating: 9/10]

It can be too far fetched at times but also realistic. I actually stopped watching after a few disc and then started all over agian only to realize it was quite interesting.

i thought this show was going to be one of the memorable teen flicks in jdorama industry but i was surprised to see what such a rubbish it has turn out to be.seriously i'm not a fan of the leading actors.however i have my eyes on oguri shun and narimiya hiroki because i've seen them before in 'gokusen'- an indeed a memorable and superb teen show.and i also have known suzuki an for her role in 'kindaichi 3' opposite matsujun few back years ago.she was very young at that times yet she managed to convince me what a promising young star she is.so i expected to see a very good performance here too.however as i said earlier, this dorama has turn out to be a real crap.everything was very weak.the storyline,the script and the casting.i couldn't see any point in this dorama,everything was circling in the very same thing that was their attempts of losing their virginity.it was boring and draggy especially the first half of the series.there was no growth in the characters and the story led us nowhere.it was apparently a dorama with lots of bit to laugh at and these lining of 'eye-candy' actors to look at.an indeed an immature and stupid show for me.however i must agreed that the second half of the series quite surprisingly enjoyable.i finally could see the thing they want to emphasize here that is the power of friendship but still not good enough for me.what i want to criticize the most here is what a very weak and talentless performance shown by each of the leading roles.i think YamaP is a real 'lamp post' here.he can't even act.no characteristic and growth.mark my word,he is a talentles actor with just a pretty face to sell.and for ninomiya,this is my first time seeing him acting.i've heard so much about what a great and promising actor he is.but sadly i can't see any of the evidence here.i think he is just a crap next to YamaP.he did shown some growth in his character but still he is just an ordinary actor to me,anybody can replace him anytime.and both narimiya and oguri did let me down.and i agreed that they should replace suzuki an with some other actress because eventhough she is full of talent but she doesn't suite the role here.we need somebody who is much more adorable,not supposely pretty/kawaii or something but exceptionally adorable.sorry an. | | 38. | Comments by Laika [Rating: 9/10]

Personally I don't really find this drama interesting. It's all about boys wanting to lose their virginity asap. But the main cast was pretty good. I never doubt Nino's, Nari's and Oguri Shun's acting coz I've seen them in other dramas before. But Yamapi's kinda wooden here, maybe it's due to his character. There are some XXX scenes in there, so those help to perk things up a bit XD Still, the ending made me went 'duh...' | | 48. | Comments by Shingo berserker [Rating: 9/10]

Haha... interesting teen drama with a bit of an adult theme. Funny in parts but drags on in others. The starting was a bit slow, but it picked up in the second half of the drama... especially with Chie and Shouhei trying to find out their true feelings for each other. Ninomiya and Suzuki Anne did good jobs with both characters.

A good light-hearted series that is mainly about friendship rather than sex as it is advertised as. In the beginning, when I had read the description for this series, I had thought that this was the Japanese version of "American Pie", but I was luckily mistaken. I actually would not have taken the time to watch this until I heard that it was a good series.
True, these are hormone-active teenage boys who want to enter "manhood", but as the series develops you see that they mature. I especially liked Ken-Ken, he was my favorite. ^_^ Anyway, I would recommend this series for anyone to watch, it's a good one for laughs. The four main boys did a great job in this collaboration. | | 80. | Comments by Bodhi [Rating: 8/10]

Stand up! This is not a series to be missed! Ninomiya Kazunari and Suzuki Anne are delightful in this heart warming story! Narimiya Hiroki is also NOT to be missed! I laughed so much, I almost cried.

It can be firm and it can sometimes mean goodbye, but more often than not its warm, sweet, and absolutely fun! | | 97. | Comments by Kawaii Kinomoto [Rating: 10/10]

Definitely not for adults! More for teens 12-20 dorama!
4 virgin schoolboys trying to ditch away their virgin status, by trying all means and methods to get bed with girls. However, it always ends up nothing and i guess this is a moral dorama aiming at youngsters out there.
Having casual sex with strangers or one who dont love is kinda morally incorrect. Guess nowadays youngsters take casual sex too lightly and that is probably why, this dorama is ever produced! Educating through dorama is simply one small step! | | 105. | Comments by arwenna [Rating: 8/10]

This is just genius. You get 4 incredibly cute boys (Nari, Nino, Shun and Yamapi) a weird, quirky story about 4 Doutei boys trying to lose their virginity, and lots and lots of er... stuff to please the fangirls. I also liked how the ending wasn't contrived. It's practically a perfect drama. Also, Nino's acting is suteki. | | 107. | Comments by cwenting [Rating: 9/10]

really funny though very ecchi.. the chemistry of the actors was awesome, but the plot was a bit shallow | | 125. | Comments by fybabe [Rating: 7/10]
Quite sweet and cute. A bit draggy and stereotype near the end though.
I must say, quite an eye-candy cast, except Nino... BUT, he's the most memorable of them all! I think he put in the best and most natural effort of the 4 guys. Nino is a very good actor. Period. I like Yamapi as an 'idol' (and such a cute looker), but he's really dull as an actor. Shun was kind of 'invisible' here. I think Hiroki is best in Orange Days, he sort of overacts here. | | 126. | Comments by 5_lvis_20 [Rating: 10/10]

considering the cast, i thought this was gonna be a fun & good one. i guess the others were able to deliver, with the exception of the leading man. i really didn't like the way he made his acting seem lazy, as if he wasn't even trying. the concept was good though and i liked all the other actors, esp narimiya! <3 | | 130. | Comments by idetakun [Rating: 8/10]

It's worth the watch because of the cute guys, but it seems like they waited too late to give it a story line. | | 138. | Comments by kenike1 [Rating: 7/10]

REALLY COOL!! everbody go watch it!! | | 149. | Comments by atleast13 [Rating: ?/10]
This is the first Nino dorama I've seen. I must say, he is one helluva good actor. I think he made a big impact on the story. The storyline is funny and the casts are kawaii. I was left wanting a part 2. | | 150. | Comments by lilbabi1004 [Rating: 8/10]
the story line is kinda of shady and weird...but i love the characters!! | | 151. | Comments by usagi_on_the_moon [Rating: 1/10]
not one of nino-kun's best moments, in my opinion | | 152. | Comments by bedhead [Rating: 10/10]
-Squee- I love Hiroki-kun! He's the reason I love this drama so much. | | 153. | Comments by Shindou [Rating: 4/10]
Four guys who haven't done it yet, not much else to say.. | | 154. | Comments by riku_tsuyoi [Rating: 10/10]
My first and favorite Jdrama. XD First of all, it has Hiroki, YamaPi, Shun, Nino and Suzuki Ann. ^^ It's too hilarious! You won't be able to stop laughing. ^^ | | 155. | Comments by Rare [Rating: 8/10]
This dorama is just funny. The guys are great, and Suzuki Anne is so cute! ^^ Can't stop laughing when watching this dorama. Watch it! | | 156. | Comments by jaydoramalover [Rating: 5/10]
This drama had its ups & downs. | | 157. | Comments by polarp [Rating: 7/10]
i like it mainly because of the the part when kenken was telling his friends about why he wants to marry chie. It was HILARIOUS~~seriously. I couldn't help but to laugh outloud nonstop. Even if you don't want to watch the whole thing. (i know it is a little xxx), but at least watch that part. It is too funny to miss. | | 158. | Comments by shikka [Rating: 7/10]
was lower than what i had expected....
quite dissapointed...
although the ending was good....the front part was very bored... | | 159. | Comments by xxhiroxx [Rating: 10/10]
Cute and sweet. Romance and Humor (and Perversion!) all in one. Spells out the way of thought of modern teenagers. | | 160. | Comments by MissMonika [Rating: 6/10]
This was the most cheesy thing I've ever seen. Maybe beyond anything I've ever seen. But it was really funny and really cute. Nino, Yamap, and Shun-kun are so adorable. | | 161. | Comments by skittles-sama [Rating: 10/10]
super funny!! kinda stupid but really cute clothes | | 162. | Comments by athida [Rating: 9/10]
Nino is superb in it. Fun and entertaining. Also touching.
Ahh the feelings of youth... :p | | 163. | Comments by yanocchi [Rating: 8/10]
Saw the first episode, still watching the others | | 164. | Comments by hisu [Rating: 1/10]
OMG!! WTF are they doing there? They are always talking about this one topic.
This dorama is the first I saw with Shun Oguri, Hiroki Narimiya and Takashi Tsukamoto. they are all three soo hot and kawaii.
And YamaPi is such a cutee in this too. | | 165. | Comments by GIGI [Rating: ?/10]
Actually still watching. The first episode does not seem promising except for eye candy faces of Oguri Shun, Hiroki Narimiya and Yamapi. | | 166. | Comments by Iv3_imt [Rating: 7/10]
THe story is not so good
It is sometimes hillarious
overall i watched it because of Yamapi
Hiroki is also cute n funny here | | 167. | Comments by Kaidasalene [Rating: 8/10]

this is a hilarious drama about puberty, friendship & about teenage life in a small insignificant town. the story itself is not much compelling or memorable, however the 4 main characters are well put together, total eye-candies *wink* | | 175. | Comments by Q-chan [Rating: 9/10]
Funny and great!!! Love Nino, Yamapi, Nari, & Shun!!! | | 176. | Comments by whowhatme [Rating: 9/10]
Really funny and touching :) i loved nino's performance, and narimiya's performance too! suzuki anne is perfect for the childhood friend role. | | 177. | Comments by mukashi [Rating: 10/10]
Very funny!!! Great actors:) And also touching moments:) I love it^^ | | 178. | Comments by TrigunX89 [Rating: 8/10]
My first completed drama! Funny, and the characters really grow on you. I was sad when it ended. I love Anne Suzuki's performance. | | 179. | Comments by megumi s. [Rating: 7/10]
it's not the most riveting drama, but it's a comedy! and i think a good one at that. some of it is outrageous, but the characters are all so funny in their own way, especially Narimiya Hiroki and Oguri Shun's characters. i gave it a high rating not because it's the best i have ever seen, but because if you approach watching it knowing not to take it seriously and just enjoy yourself, you'll really really like it. however be warned: it drags a bit. | | 180. | Comments by hurh. [Rating: 10/10]
A sweet story about love, youth, and friendship. I thought it was very funny and lots of fun to watch.
I love the main characters! I was already a fan of Nino, Shun, Hiroki, and YamaPi, but I really~ loved them in this drama. <3
I'm not a big fan of Suzuki Anne, but I thought she was great too. | | 181. | Comments by phoenix_angkasa [Rating: 8/10]
interesting.. have never seen a drama with this kind of plot before.. took a lot of risk to do ne.. but why it was so successful must be due to the stellar cast, ninomiya, yamapi, oguri, narimiya suzuki and the supporting cast.. all of them did great.. not a super plot though, what struck me most were the words used.. they really meant a lot.. to give a message to the audience kana? i would say credit should go to anne-chan.. she portrayed just the right image for a girl like chie.. and she did it really well.. another character that left me touched was ken-ken ne.. i somehow would prefer chie together with him.. maybe because i always believe that guys who know what they want always wins in the end.. but somehow.. well.. still great, i think.. <33 | | 182. | Comments by pandora [Rating: 8/10]
A good seishun-comming of age dorama, although the 'I so wana get laid' theme was a little cringe worthy, I prefer the complexity that developes towards the end of the dorama and the acting was good and it has some really funny moments. | | 183. | Comments by mushy [Rating: 9/10]
Funny as >>> | | 184. | Comments by AK [Rating: 8/10]
This drama is so funny. Every episode make you laugh. The actors are not that great but they are cute, at last.
You won't lose time if you watch it. | | 185. | Comments by meiohsetsuna [Rating: 9/10]
A romantic comedy much like that of American Pie, only seen through the Japanese perspective. Four boys spend their summer in pursuit of women, in the hopes of loosing their virginity by the summer's end. An old childhood friend shows up out of nowhere, and she tends to spoil their well thought-out plans. Will they ever get laid? And will Chie ever tell them why she suddenly reappeared? | | 186. | Comments by Kiyomi L. Denise [Rating: 7/10]
Woo hoo! Love it. Very funny. Laughed all the way through this drama. Plus, it consists nearly all of my fabourite actors, Shun, Nino, Yamapi and Hiroki. And they're all so damn funny~ They go aroung acting like weirdos, looking for 'the ONE' to... sleep with. Ah ha ha ha... Lent it to 3 of my friends, and it has become one of the things we laugh ab |
