sunny Jun 11 2013 9:10 am Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone could give me the name of the cinematographer or DP involved with this drama?

anonymous Jan 28 2013 11:53 am It is not very wise to compare this to American Pie... Seriously? You totally misconceive the fact that romance and lust have different perspectives in many cultures such as Japan. Don't turn this epically despicable, raw, genius story into another un-insightful, detail lacking typical Hollywood romance cliche! The writer/director made a clear motive and objective to all these characters. Don't patronize yourself just by focusing on the women's roles looking for that typically sex appeal to make up for one depressing, shameful but a beautiful display of true human nature. The true hero's story is not about the typical douchebag jock Stiffler/Van Wilder living life on their predetermined qualities. Its the ones who suffer and continue to suffer and suffer till the final climactic change just awfully hurts.

senpai_1 Mar 20 2011 10:44 am The story started off quite fun and interesting but then quickly deteriorated into a boring series of repetitive mistakes and indecision by the lead character - a boy essentially trapped in a 30-yr old body with sexual urges. The manga version would have been more fun but this dramatization became utterly senseless bcos of its repetitive themes. He's hot for 3 women in the beginning but at the end, he's back at square zero. And I do mean ZERO.

It would have been more fun if the drama detracted slightly from the manga and presented itself like American Pie but ultimately it fell flat due to its over-pretentious take at romance and making choices split among 3 women. While it may appeal to male virgins aged 40 and above, this drama does nothing except for the fact that 2 of the 3 women kept me watching this drama till the boring end. The 2 actresses were splendid in their roles and more than just eye candy, they gave me the motivation just to watch their (predictable) reaction and rejection of the douchebag male character.

You'd notice that the writer of this drama is also the director and so it just feels coincidental it may have been a biopic of his own wimpy past. Hurray for male wimps! Unite and die!
