1. Absolutely phenomenal [Rating: 10/10]
I was very skeptical of this series when I first checked the plot synopsis and cast, since I have only seen Karina in super cool/emotionless characters before this, and none of them have been particularly impressive except "Shaberedomo x2", which was a movie. However, this series had an abnormal rise in Oricon anticipation -> satisfaction ratings so I decided to give it a try. It was one of the dorama best decision I have ever made.

"Daisuki!!" is a human drama about a mentally disabled woman, Yuzu, raising her child without a father (died in accident) with support of family and friends. Together they overcome many obstacles they face from pregnancy to elementary school.

Karina was absolutely amazing in her performance, where not only did she make a believable mental patient, she also expressed the positive energy and purity/honesty of her character very well. Her characterwas developed very well, and I really connected with Yuzu. It's a series I laughed and cried whenever she did.
Although Kishimoto Kayoko, who played Yuzu's mother overacted a little bit in the first episode and Hiraoka Yuuta, who played Yuzu's brother Ren was a bit cheesy in the final episode, every other member of the cast put up very solid performances for this well-made dorama.

The story was very touching and inspirational, and they have covered just about every obstacles Yuzu and her family members would face because of her disability.

Ending theme by melody. was very suitable for this series and it was directed exceptionally well for a low-budget-fast-pace dorama production. I especially loved that first time-transition of baby-to-2 year old Himawari in the park. It is apparent a lot of effort was put into the production.


10/10, best dorama series made in the last 4 years.

Inevitably cheesy but overall a very touching show and a different subject from the usual stuff. Karina was great and so believable playing retarded. Cried several times per episode.

Rated 6.5
Not really my type of drama, but I thought the main actress did an excellent job protraying a handicapped person. The story is quite touching and at times very sad.

Karina has not really impressed me much before as an actress or mode before but I think this is a real breakthrough for her. An equally solid performance from the actress playing the role of Yuzu's mom as well.

A very touching drama.
And I am glad the ending was nice. It reflects the pain that the mentally-disabled people are going through, and it's touching to see how in the show, many people are willing to help them and give them chances.

Rated this series a 10 because of the performance of Karina...in other words Karina disappeared and I was only aware of Yuzu on the screen.....I hope she wins "Best actress award" somewhere ......Interesting not too important fact .....Yuzu worked in a bakery, In KinPachi Sensei 7 Yayoi (who was mentally disabled) worked in a bakery, and in Algernon ni Hanataba there was a bakery where a group of mentally diabled worked..........hmmmm

This is a wonderful story about a mentally disabled woman who has a child. Though there are struggles and hardship, she does her best (with the help of friends and family) and matures into a loving mother, helpful daughter, and considerate sister. Highly recommended

A heartwarming family drama about a mild mentally dissabled Yuzu raising her daughter Himawari as single mom. That's how a family are supposed to be, help each other, support each other, and comfort each other. Daisuki!

A very light-hearted Drama on a very serious topic. Karina did an excellent job by acting as a mentally challanged mother.
