I really liked the drama, it was awfully cheesy tbh, but i enjoyed watching it. Especially liked the main cast, Ninomiya Kazunari and Fukada Kyoko~ They were really cute together, kinda wished there were more scenes of them actually acting together, since most of these charas scenes together were with Chiyomi as tiny doll so it was technically not acting together haha.
However, i do hate the ending so much,.. so the 2 points i had to take away because i was so disappointed in this ending to the point it gave me nightmares ugh.. no one wants to imagine them living their live together with Chiyomi staying this tiny forever.. please no. Why couldn't they have put her back into her normal state??? WHyYy?? Idgi, really. Especially disappoiting was that they made a wish to save her grandfather from dying.. but the wish went to waste with them later getting into the accident and the grandfather saving them, like wtf? really? orz
Other than that it was cute, just really wish i hadn't watched the end of the drama tbh.. so disappointing

bleh!

oh my god what kind of a disasteruous dorama is Minami-kun no Koibito??!!! this thing is sooo horrid and full of rubbish! the ultimate lame-ness will drag you into despair making you get nightmares with fuckakyon in it!!! holy crap !!! If you thought Fighting Girl was bad, you'll probably die watching this. the theme was sooo lame, fuckakyon was like this plastic doll with no soul ( and what the hell did she do with her face? bleh ) her acting was... ups... i mean, her blabbing was so unbareable you'd probably prefer to watch your neigbour's dog do crap in the sidewalk. once you thought you were nearly saved from this near death experience when fuckakyon jumped into the river with big hope that she would die and not appear anymore in the dorama, nooooo.... ! she comes back! as this tiny little inhumane thingi that lives in a barbie house!!!

wat's wrong with the ending? o_o

well, this is an ok-ok drama, to say the least. not one of the better ones around, i must say, but nevertheless still watchable. there were quite some interesting scenes tat make this drama worth watching. :) i must say it's amusing to see a boyfren trying to keep his 16cm tall gf under covers and at the same time tending to her every need. ^_^

imo, i think the ending is quite pleasant. yeah, it's not exactly predictable and the wat-u-wish-it-would-be kind of ending, but not horrible.
