OMG! *fangirls mode on* I LOVE THIS MANGA!! I read it such a long time ago and I still love it since. Wasn't there a TW series based on this manga?

I couldn't really imagine Nino as Yamada, but I love him and he's talented enough, so let's see. One thing for sure, I'll probably be going kawwwaaaiiiii~~ every seconds watching this drama... his siblings.. omy

surprisingly, there was a TW version of this series, those lame TW producers cant never make anything of their own . I personally don't like Nino, Sho is ok but in any case, this drama seems to be a real treat for Arashi fan. I've seen the manga b4 but never read it. For some reason, it smells shonen-ai-ish to me but maybe i'm wrong. i'll check out the manga though

[Death Note]

Ah! I need to see this. Nino is <3.
He's a good actor . IHe was good in Letters from Iwo Jima and Stand Up!!.
I've never seen Sho act before though, well i'll finally get to see .
Thanks for postin this

[lilyella]

i heard STORMY ( a group of Arashi fans) are going to sub this series.

[elizabeth]

the storyline is quite cute. Definitely need to see this drama. I haven't read the manga yet but is this drama sort of like comedy-ish like?

[chibiblue88]

OH YAY!!! I read a few volumes of Yamada and it was HILARIOUS!

^haha yeah. It's basically a comedy. Yamada is considered the PERFECT student--he is gorgeous, kind, humble, athletic, and mysterious. People think that his personality is a result from being in a rich, cultured family but in reality he is DIRT POOR. He lives in a shack with a million siblings, and uses leftover vegetables and bread crumbs that supermarkets throw away for dinner! I won't say anymore, because it would ruin it for people who haven't read it yet.

Crap I want to watch it now.

[Justalilodreamer]

*saves page* maybe i'll check this out later ^^

[megahotstuff]

i think i've seen the TW version.. it's funny and i liked it... i'm really looking forward to the JP version. it will be the same story but diff in someway..... it will be like Meteor Garden vs, Hana Yori Dango
