Synopsis

Katagiri Teppei (Kimura) is a promising creative agent, but whose attitude gets him transferred to the sales department. He has to learn to adapt to the new working environment, which includes cutting his precious locks of hair to create a neater and more appropriate image. Helping him along the way is Uesugi Riko (Matsu), whom he tried to pick up along the street earlier but was tricked by her instead. Riko does not have a good impression of him at first, but falls for him gradually. However, Teppei runs into his ex-girlfriend Mizuhara Sanae (Juuna) who is now the girlfriend of his brother Soichiro (Uchino). Consoling him is Riko, whom Teppei likes gradually. Just when Teppei and Riko start dating, Sanae realises that she still likes Teppei...

17.	A good "copy" of the original [Rating: 8/10] After watching this, it is obviously blatant rip-off of TOKYO LOVE STORY. Yes, the actors are slightly more attractive. The music has a more modern edge, and may be considered a little more enjoyable. But, it has very little originallity. I can count in the dozens scenes, actions, reactions, breakups and people swapping on the rebound that are almost direct ripoffs of the oringinal. Sure they changed the location of where TEPPEI works instead of KANJIs workplace, but the main couples interaction between the two dramas are the same. The Matsu charateristics are identical to the lady in Tokyo Love Story. The other girl that is the ex high school girlfriend in both dramas has the same looks and personality. SHe comes across as a doting airhead that is obsessed with her man, whoever that is for the moment. They went thru so many of the same scenarios, point for point, that I got to be where I could guess where the next jealous outburst would come from, or when someone would be caught on the rebound, the trip to the "baths", and I was almost alwys right. They changed the two male leads to be actually brothers instead Tokyo that had the two leads that were close enough friends at the beginning that they looked like brothers. In both dramas the lady who gets "kicked to the curb" is the always super positive and more attractive one.

21.	Lotsa misunderstandings between the love ones [Rating: 8/10] Kimutaku's and Matsu Takako's chemistry fit each other! This was first drama I've seen with lotsa relationship problems and misunderstadings between them! KimuTaku plays his part well as a salaryman, once as an advertise creative now "demoted" to salaryman position. I loved Matsu Takako's part as a noisy and bold OL! stickin her nose to other people's business! Great drama with great music from Cagnet! Melancholy theme song ohtaki Eiichi, hehe! Recommend to people who are into complex human relationship dramas!

22.	Most touching [Rating: 10/10] This is the most touching love story, it is so real, so lively, so common, and so lovely. Riko was always cute, lovely, true to her feeling. She can be petty, suspicious of teipei, possesive can't cook, and yet, you can't help but love her. The two leads just have that special on screen chemistry that will make you glue to it from begining to end. Perfect couple. The quiblling between Riko and Teipei always make one laugh. Many have been comparing LG with Long Vacation, but for me, LG is simply that much better, more believable, more enjoyable. The best drama that I have seen for a long long time. In fact, cannot recall any that is better, JDorama or not.

My favorite scene was the morning after Kimura and Matsu did the - you know what - and Matsu's character Riko started writing on Kimura's character Teppei's refrigerator and started writing "Teppei su---" and Teppei thought Riko was writing "Teppei suki" only to find that she wrote "Teppei sukebe."

This one was also one that I really liked and couldn't get enough of even after watching it over and over and over again. The story is awesome, and it comes together so nicely to the end. Although I've forgotten alot about what happened in this drama, I'll never forget the impact that it had on my emotions.

29.	The best! [Rating: 10/10] This drama really got to my attention. The thing i really loved about it is the way Takako and Kimura meet. At first Takuya was nothing to Takako and she just left him. After she did that he didnt treat her soo well and then they just fell in love. But the thing i love about this drama is the love scenes in this story are sooo emotional, thats what makes it sooo good ^_^

30.	Love tug-o-war [Rating: 8/10] I have to say this drama took a different approach than usual. Usually one sees two main characters and their struggle to be together; however this drama involves the two main character's struggle to stay together. I also have to admit this theme got a little repetitive making me say "uh oh here we go again". Just the fact that the two main roles were Matsu Takako and Kimura Takuya made this drama really interesting because they had such chemestry in this one. I believe Matsu Takako really showed her acting range with Kimura Takuya playing his normal usual self ^_^. This is a great drama that any hardcore jdrama fan should pick up.
Reviewed by Uchiha Potato* on 17 November 2003*
31.	Good Love Story [Rating: 8/10] I backtracked and watched this drama after watching several other Takuya's works. I realized that his dramas are all pretty much the same, and it started either with this one or "Long Vacation". I guess this sort of role really fits him well, as seen in his later works, which pretty much have him playing almost the same type of person, personality wise. He's this kind of reserved person, but with lots of ideals and when pushed, is very expressive and shows a lot of emotion. But that takes a lot out of him, because most of the time, he's very indecisve about himself, and throughout the drama, you can see his inner self struggles. The drama is slow, but that's how there are back in the mid to late 90's. But it's smooth though, and with patience, one can surely appreciate the thought put into both the story and the directing.

36.	Like Long vacation but slightly better [Rating: 10/10] This just might be the best dorama ever. Some say it's a rip off of Tokyo love story but I haven't seen that one so I don't know. I find this beeing similar to Long vacation though, but LG is slightly better. Can't explain exactly why, something with the atmosphere in the drama. However, they're not spending as much time in the same apartment here as they did in LV which is a good thing. I'm not the biggest fan of Takako Matsu, but she's a good actress and here she's very cute and charming. Kimura Takuya is always solid in his performances. The supporting cast is carefully chosen and doing a great job as well. Along with Yamato Nadeshiko&Long vacation, it surely is the best drama so far.

Kimura once again convinces me that he is just the man for this kind of parts. He is just the best. Like some people I too had hard time appreciating Matsu Takako after seeing her in Long Vacation but she completely blowed me away in Love Generation. Surely it must be one of the all time best performances by an actress in a Dorama. Can't think of a more MUST SEE series than Love Generation, it's simply the best...

49.	An immensely satisfying love story.. [Rating: 10/10] Headed by a strong cast of Kimura Takuya, Matsu Takako, Fujiwara Norika, Uchino Masaaki and Junna Risa, this drama was very well acted out. Takuya's performance in LG is particularly alive, far more than usual. A well-paced, well-written and well-executed script and plot made this drama truly satisfying to watch. The soundtrack and theme songs also suited the drama very well. In all, an immensely enjoyable jdorama that definitely stands among my favourite series.

52.	So much lovely angst! [Rating: 9/10] For the first few episodes, I was really mad that it was going so slow. Then I was mad because I couldn’t understand the random glass apple that popped up everywhere. Then I was mad because Kimura’s character, Teppei, was such a “lecher”, and that Takako’s character, Riko, was so flakey. And I was upset near the middle of the series because I was not at all convinced that Teppei loved Riko, no matter how many times he said he was. And then suddenly － and I can’t seem to pinpoint the exact spot in the drama － I came to the realization that this was the point. I was not supposed to be convinced, because Riko wasn’t convinced either. Suddenly everything fell into place, and I began to appreciate the raw emotions battled within each character, and how characters like Sanae were necessary to enhance the taste of the love story. Kimura did a grand job as always, and Takako was a big surprise! She was so different from her role in Long Vacation － the only other drama I have seen her in. I was totally blown away with the way she portrayed Riko’s character. The supporting cast was also brilliant, and I’m glad the sub-plot was just as good as the main. There was so much angst in this drama, and one misunderstanding after another. But for a hopeless romantic like myself, all the angst and all the misunderstandings were welcome! The drama, and the characters, captured my heart and I ended the series quite satisfied. If there is one thing I’d like to change, it would be the last scene. After all the heartache of being apart, I really wanted to see Teppei embrace Riko in a tight grasp to imply that he’d never let her go, or vice versa. Other than this one selfish complaint, the drama was grand and I highly recommend it to all the romantics out there.

Kimura Takuya and Matsu Takako are both wonderful, especially Matsu Takako, the scene on the bridge, she's just phenomenal in that. The soundtrack also goes well with the scenes. The only thing I didn't care for was the glass apple being in so many scenes. That was a bit weird. Overall, this is one of the cream of the crop in Japanese dramas. You can't go wrong with this one.

1.	Comments by catcat [Rating: 10/10] my all-time favorite japanese drama. it's the best drama i've ever seen and it also stars kimura takuya and matsu takako who i believe are the best onscreen duo. this is a romance drama where takuya is a designer who has been demoted. at his new job, he meets matsu takako, who hates him but will eventually likes him, and their lives will never be the same because of this. also starring uchino masaaki as kimura's brother, junna risa as kimura's ex-girlfriend who is now uchino's fiance and fujiwara norika as matsu's best friend. most definitely recommend this to anyone who hasn't watched it. a pretty good drama to start off with for people who just started to watch japanese dramas.

Personal comment: I really hate Teppei sometimes, he never tried to make Riko happy! It is always Riko trying to cheer him up!! He kinda not appreciating her! But he is sure a gentleman, coz when Riko cut his hair, he still can control himself! because if it was me, i'll beat her up and shave her head =P
8.	Comments by Yuki [Rating: 9/10] Actually this story is just like a common love story ,begins with hate each other and then become a couple. However the story is really funny and have lots of interesting part.Afterall Kimutaku played as a pervert while Matsu played as a very ....

10.	Comments by thee [Rating: 6/10] I don't really like it except the theme song.
11.	Comments by zealous [Rating: 9/10] Another combination for Takuya and Matsu. I just love it. About the story yesss... I dunno.. I just love it. Have a funny scene, have a sad scene... yeahh... some taching your feeling either.
12.	Comments by aranur [Rating: 9/10] great romance. painful relationship but memorable. love it.
13.	Comments by marzyu [Rating: 8/10] Pretty good drama I must agree! Instead of a love triangle, more like a love SQUARE! I'll realli recommend this drama if u like to watch sweet dramaz like summer snow or newz no onna . . . this drama will melt u're heart [my opinion] Matsu and Takuya lookz realli realli cute here too ^^! I have to watch Hero to see if it'z better since it does have way higher rating! I still hafta watch Love Vacation too! AHHH SO MUCHIE DRAMAZ TO WATCH!!!
14.	Comments by jdfan [Rating: 10/10] A fun-to-watch drama with relaxing pace and romantic atmosphere. Although I feel it's sort of an extension from Long Vacation, because Miki's crazy character feels almost the same with Minami's (but she's definitely lacking Minami's originality). And the old girfriend theme annoys me a little bit. But the ending was quite alright. Altogether a nice drama and hey, it's Kimura Takuya... And his acting is always good. One of my all time favorites. Great chemistry between stars, this couple looks great together, and the ending make you feel happy! This is what Japanese drama is all about. This is an all time classic. A must watch for dorama fans.
15.	Comments by ct_subang [Rating: 9/10] swell & sweet..takako n kimutaku chemistry..romantic comedy
16.	Comments by GreenIce [Rating: 10/10] My favorite romantic dorama. It has Kimura in it, and his chemistry with Takako is unbelievable. It is sweet and sad. Draggy parts threatened to spoil it, but their great relationship swept that aside, and I ended up watching it almost all at one go. Watch this show.
17.	Comments by biga816 [Rating: 10/10] Exemplary performance by the J-drama "super duo".
18.	Comments by peeka [Rating: 9/10] Also my favourite drama. Eventhough its quite an old drama. I love to see Takuya Kimura and Matsu Takako acting as a couple. Matsu Takako's character as a happy go lucky and cheerful person makes this story interesting. Takuya Kimura is good at making funny gestures.
19.	Comments by majinbads [Rating: 10/10] Even better than Long Vacation. Combination of Takuya Kimura and Matsu Takako really sizzles. They make a great couple. Contains the usual plot in any love story but very good presentation by all involved makes this a classic dorama. The romance is guaranteed to appeal. Simply the best dorama ever.
20.	Comments by otaking [Rating: 8/10] Really well done, and wonderful performances from KimuTaku and Matsu Tatako. I really liked the angst and the storytelling.
21.	Comments by dnie [Rating: 10/10] love gen is sharing the top place of my doramas with Summer Snow! what's to hate about it? it's perfect-Takuya and Matsu are 'the' couple-no doubt abt that, the storyline is good and the garasu apple to swoon for!!
22.	Comments by DDT [Rating: 10/10] A must watch drama. Although I thought that the last 1/4 of the series was drawn out a bit too long, it was overall an excellent emotional love drama!!! Great match up with Kimura and Takako. Music by Cagnet was also well done and well fit into the show.
23.	Comments by iluvhyde [Rating: 6/10] Not bad, but not very very interesting.
24.	Comments by thereds [Rating: 10/10] i like takako matsu n i love kimutaku and this is my best dorama i have ever watched.
25.	Comments by 100aw [Rating: 8/10] Ahh! The chemistry between Kimu Taku and Matsu Takako is really good in this drama.
26.	Comments by yuka [Rating: 9/10] An ordinary love story but engaging in its simple appeal. It is close-to-heart as one can identify with the office lady Matsu and salaryman Kimura. Their ups and downs are as commonplace as our very own. Though the ordinariness is very much liven up by the chemistry between the 2 good-looking protagonists.
27.	Comments by dora [Rating: 10/10] Sweet....
28.	Comments by katrinka [Rating: 10/10] Great show. What else can I say, I really recomend it!
29.	Comments by WD [Rating: 9/10] Pretty good storyline, kind of dragged a little bit, but still quite enjoyable...Good chemistry between Takuya Kimura & Takako Matsu, definitely one of the on-screen couples of all time. RECOMMENDED!

33.	Comments by eien [Rating: 10/10] was my fav dorama for many years!...it's so reflective of office love
34.	Comments by Akakage [Rating: 7/10] I don't really like it, although Takuya looks so handsome here.
35.	Comments by DukeGonzalez [Rating: 7/10] :) nice
36.	Comments by oishi [Rating: 10/10] awesome story, i can really relate. and reminds me of my good old days.
37.	Comments by Xarlos [Rating: 9/10] This Drama is so Funny ^_^. Love Takako Matsu very much.
38.	Comments by niko2x [Rating: 8/10] Could have been so much better. Still rates an 8.
39.	Comments by takuya_angel [Rating: 10/10] This show is the reason to my Takuya Kimura's obsession! Totally love his acting and Takako was really kawaii too. The chemistry of both leads was perfect! It's a much watch dorama for everyone.
40.	Comments by daphi [Rating: 8/10] :) good film
41.	Comments by jo [Rating: 10/10] FAVORITE DRAMA OF ALL TIME! THIS SHOULD BE THE NO. 1!!!! IF THERE'S A QUESTION OF "WHICH JAPANESE DRAMA GOT YOU HOOKED?". I would say this is THE ONE. This drama has started everything for me, I have watched this over and over again and never gets tired of watching it. The songs were great, the theme song SHIAWASE by Cagnet, TRUE TRUE and Hear Me Cry were also the reason that this drama BECAME SOO POPULAR. I've never been a Japanese Drama fan before but after seeing this drama, it made me want to watch MORE. This drama is just SUPERB. A++++++ HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, A MUST-SEE!!
42.	Comments by Evilryu [Rating: 10/10] I Love Kimuras acting in this one!!!!
43.	Comments by jade_sylvia [Rating: 10/10] Absolutely loved it!!
44.	Comments by rikastar [Rating: 9/10] I like the story, the way the show is filmed and the lead actor and actress. They also have great chemistry together.
45.	Comments by vienna_sg [Rating: 8/10] Like the show and the glass apple. Almost wanted to buy it at Swarokski.
46.	Comments by vegitto60 [Rating: 10/10] Something one has to watch to see the beauty in it.
47.	Comments by syu77 [Rating: 8/10] I love watch this drama because the words are so deep and meaningful....
48.	Comments by Warrior [Rating: 8/10] This is one of my favorites.Matsu Takako was still young ,but too bad the ending is not that great
49.	Comments by seissa [Rating: 6/10] a little draggy towards the end
50.	Comments by ren1999 [Rating: 10/10] The chemistry between Takuya Kimura and Takako Matsu is great! This is great drama writing!
51.	Comments by miakasan21 [Rating: 10/10] Kimura is yet really good in this drama also....It is a really cute love story...you should watch it!!!
52.	Comments by Sungirl [Rating: 10/10] Kimura and Matsu again, I really enjoyed this drama.
53.	Comments by samurai_x [Rating: 9/10] It was a pleasure watching them both....... The show, "sugoi desu ne".......... I don't mind watching it again...
54.	Comments by princess [Rating: 9/10] One of the first dramas i watched that i found romantic. But some palces were quite doggy.
55.	Comments by carie_akanishi [Rating: 10/10] Just one thing to say.. My FAV Love Story !!!(other than Long Vacation which is my fav fav fav) Haha...
56.	Comments by Beautiful_cloud_77 [Rating: 7/10] Great theme songs that went well with the scenes!
57.	Comments by kewlger [Rating: 9/10] This one was good ending couldve been presented better i think =/
58.	Comments by russia [Rating: 8/10] matsu takako will never look this sweet ever again, but kimutaku will age with beauty
59.	Comments by Bsalez [Rating: 10/10] Sugoi one of best Jdrama I ever watch..So natural yet so ROMANTIC!! Fully Reccomended
60.	Comments by Hee Hee Hee [Rating: 9/10] is nice show!~ makes me have a peaceful n sweet feeling when watching...nice theme songs...one of my best drama
61.	Comments by limpaway [Rating: 8/10] This is without a doubt a really good drama. However, I found the ending to be so so. The beginning was a lot more funnier and cute.
62.	Comments by natsumi [Rating: 10/10] love this one!
63.	Comments by Tenkawa_Akito [Rating: 8/10] Pretty good...I saw the HK movie version too
64.	Comments by numlock84 [Rating: 10/10] this is also my good drama have i bought!i never forget the moment that (riko) said that tetpei(takuya) that tetpei is only the one in her heart~:p ...
65.	Comments by amrayu [Rating: ?/10] vcd (english subs)
66.	Comments by velvet_ice [Rating: 8/10] The very first J drama that got me started on the craving for more J dramas. This show was great. However, I couldn't stand how Matsu Takako's character was so immature and naive at times... but what irked me the most was the actress who played Sanae. (did i get that right?) Overall, a drama which has left behind a legacy IMO.
67.	Comments by orenji [Rating: 10/10] What can I say? WATCH IT! ;)
68.	Comments by FaNtaSYDrEaMeRZ [Rating: 8/10] this series is recommended. not the best...but good enough to be considered one of the better japanese dramas.
69.	Comments by Lauralye76 [Rating: 10/10] Honestly its a show with a common & simple storyline. Somehow it managed to touch the hearts of the audience. Of course a nice soundtrack helps a lot. Watched it at least 3 times.

74.	Comments by Ryo_San [Rating: 10/10] A must see!! ^_^
75.	Comments by Hoshi [Rating: 9/10] Great love story!! The chemistry between Takuya and Takako is really good. Matsu Takako's character here is really different from that in Hero, so I was pretty impressed by her versatility. The supporting cast is wonderful too, and so is the song. And I always look forward to the appearance of that glass apple :)
76.	Comments by alkhoon [Rating: 10/10] Very nice story!!!! Very sweet <3

80.	Comments by cindi [Rating: 7/10] Got too draggy at the end for my liking. Have yet to watch the 'special' that's lying in my dorama cupboard. :D
81.	Comments by cynee [Rating: 9/10] best tv couple! Kimura Takuya & Matsu Takako have great chemistry together!
82.	Comments by dannyboy [Rating: 10/10] wow! wow! wow! what more can i say, you put two of the best actors/actress and what do you get? a masterpiece.
83.	Comments by FierceStriker [Rating: 8/10] Reminds me of Tokyo Love Story. Still very good.
84.	Comments by Maschera [Rating: 9/10] I think this drama has the most wonderful fallin-in love story, but I think it got alittle bit too draggy in the end, otherwise I would have given full marks. Definitely will recommend this to anyone.
85.	Comments by michiru3 [Rating: 10/10] Loved it! My all time favorite drama! The interaction btwn Matsu Takako and KimuTaku is great! Even the boring parts about KimuTaku's brother were okay, and not TOO long to make you want to punch them. What more can I say, just watch it!
86.	Comments by hydea [Rating: 7/10] ermm very touching... and kind of funny i dont really like takuya.. but his good in this movie... so do the woman...
87.	Comments by jkfan [Rating: 8/10] i thought takuya n his co-star( sorry..duno her jap namae) were very compatible in this drama..very touching..
88.	Comments by red_for_anti [Rating: 10/10] Takako gave an amazing performance!!!
89.	Comments by daigong6weeks [Rating: 7/10] Who hasn't watched it?
90.	Comments by Angelwings [Rating: 9/10] Really cute story. I love the relationship between Kimura Takuya, and Matsu Takako. They're so great together.
91.	Comments by matsu_takeiko [Rating: 7/10] It's not as compelling as I expected; I didn't really get hooked. There was very good acting in it in fact, and the situations portrayed seemed to be based on real life. But just as the story goes, it kinda gets predictable, you know that they'll fight again then you just feel like the drama is an elongated version of a lover's quarrel.. it just made it seem so petty.. But acting was great, and the story was a little interesting sometimes, and it certainly didn't fail in the most romantic parts--it was enough to make anyone gush ^_~. plus the opening theme can really get stuck in your head :)
92.	Comments by stargirl [Rating: 6/10] The plot is just too predictable
93.	Comments by dummyuser11 [Rating: 9/10] I really like the way Riko treated Tetpei. She was so adorable...any guy who have her would be so lucky. Takuya Kimura's actually looked way better after the haircut...ehehh...Good show.. two thumbs up
94.	Comments by DragonSpirit164 [Rating: 9/10] Kimura Takuya and Matsu Takako. What a lovely pairing. If only Kimura was married to her in real life. Ha oh well. Anyway this is a highly enjoyable drama, but there were a bit too many misunderstandings between characters. Most memorable part for me was the magic show Riko performed for Teppei on his birthday. She was soo cute in that scene!! :) I also enjoy love-hate relationships which is probably why I loved this so much.
95.	Comments by seven [Rating: 10/10] VERY GOOD!!!!!!!!!
96.	Comments by heimu [Rating: 8/10] Rewatched it during Feb 2004, I guess Takuya Kimura and Matsu Takako ain't called the best on screen couple for nothing since their performances from Love Generation and Hero are really impressive and they looked extremely compatible on screen. ;)
97.	Comments by zchendevlemh [Rating: 10/10] A lot kawaii idol in this series. fujiwara chan to takako chan ganbaru ne!!
98.	Comments by Jeanxi [Rating: 5/10] Pretty good, but still not as good as I thought it would be. Also overrated.
99.	Comments by PinkSpider [Rating: 10/10] my first drama THIS IS VERY VERY GOOD !!!
100.	Comments by 206 [Rating: 8/10] This one really explores the relationships between men and women. To trust and believe when the eyes tell you something else. Some of the situations are classic in a relationship between couples and the story was told well. Love seems to win most of the time.
101.	Comments by Szabotage [Rating: 9/10] Great chemistry! Pacing gets slow towards the end, but on the whole, the story is pretty good. I loved the main characters, although I did get annoyed with them at times. It's a good sign if you are involved enough in a drama that you are yelling at the TV screen when the character does something stupid. A must-see!
102.	Comments by haydenz [Rating: 10/10] best
103.	Comments by Bluejay [Rating: 9/10] An excellent contemporary love story. The characters are well developed and very touching. The story grabbed me and didn't let me go!!!
104.	Comments by AngelXing [Rating: 8/10] I really like the way Riko treated Tetpei. She was so adorable...any guy who have her would be so lucky. Takuya Kimura's actually looked way better after the haircut...ehehh...Good show.. two thumbs up
105.	Comments by dannylai [Rating: 8/10] matsu is cute.. especially wen she did the magic tricks... shal lalala.....
106.	Comments by ballistic88 [Rating: 9/10] Matsu Takako was in it... some portions were funny too, I guess.
107.	Comments by eltinator [Rating: 10/10] An emotional rollercoaster the whole way. Matsu Takako and Kimutaku were great! Very beautiful and absolutely worth watching!
108.	Comments by positive [Rating: 7/10] The good thing for this one is Kimu Taku's great acting and good looks. The bad: don't like Matsu Takako - she doesn't have enough screen presence to play against Kimu Taku.
109.	Comments by amane [Rating: 4/10] i bought and watched this dorama long time ago and it had no sub at all.i had to used all my knowledges on nihongo and had to struggle through the lines in order to understand the story.but still i can't give my final comment here since it was not convincing enough,for me at least.i probably will have to rewrite this after i rewatch the dorama.overall, it was an ok show.nothing else but rabu story.a very plain love story.all circle around long lost but unforgettable former lover, jealousy and uncertainty,and finally realization of who is the right one.a very predictable story-line,no climax(or at least i didn't feel one) and very plain.this was not the first time kimutaku teamed up with matsu takako and i must say,this dorama was not their best work together.they shown much more credibility as an actor/actress in their other doramas. and if i can pick one,i say it was 'hero' that brought out the chemistry between them.
110.	Comments by linco [Rating: 8/10] it was pretty good after u watch a couple of epsiodes. i actually stopped watching it after the first epsiode cuz i thought it was boring but keep watching it gets better. they make such a cute couple.
111.	Comments by koichininoyu [Rating: 7/10] also have watched...another drama... not so bad,,,
112.	Comments by dummyuser13 [Rating: 10/10] Go Matsu Takako!!!!! Her acting was great, not forgeting Kimura san as well.
113.	Comments by Longman [Rating: 9/10] I had the feeling that this series would have a big shoe to fill after the immediate success of Long Vacation. Thankfully, the perfect combo of Kimura and Matsu really shines in this classic love story. This is Matsu's best performance ever!!
114.	Comments by ryce [Rating: 8/10] The chemistry between Matsu Takako & Kumura Takuya was pretty good.
115.	Comments by syahirah [Rating: 10/10] funny,serious,sad,all combine and make this drama be so perfect...
116.	Comments by gqstyle09 [Rating: 7/10] great love story in itself, but it lacks much in creativity and originality
117.	Comments by cipong [Rating: 7/10] so touching..

119.	Comments by areins7 [Rating: 8/10] love with obstaclesssss....
120.	Comments by Tekanan [Rating: ?/10] Interesting storyline. cute character well done my Takako Matsu. above average performance by Kimura Takuya IMO.
121.	Comments by kimurababe [Rating: 10/10] takuya kimura is uber cute in this delightful love story
122.	Comments by yijing [Rating: 9/10] didn't like it at 1st & felt that Riko was too childish...but Takako's acting was really good, i remember there's 1 scene when Teppei & Riko met on the street...not many words were exchange but the body language exchanged moved me to tears...love the way Riko's route to maturity & Teppei's realisation on who does he really love...something like Long Vacation...comfortable with each other...
123.	Comments by moniker79 [Rating: ?/10] two thumbs up...
124.	Comments by dusty_angel [Rating: ?/10] theme song is pretty dreadful. but the drama is great!!! watched it twice already. takako is so cute and takuya is very kakkoi esp in the first ep, before he cut his lock. so sad....
125.	Comments by zaza_tk87 [Rating: ?/10] complete. VCD chn-mly sub.
126.	Comments by Omren [Rating: 6/10] First 5 episodes are 9/10. After that it goes downhill all the way. Thats why I only give this series a 6. If the writers hadn't fallen asleep halfway in to the series it could have been awesome..
127.	Comments by kaonashi [Rating: 10/10] A "Tokyo love story" rip off? It's not even close in my opinion. In any case, Love generation's one of the best drama ever, maybe even the best. To me, this is what J-drama's all about, can't get any better.
128.	Comments by sayurikurata [Rating: 10/10] An excellent drama! It has very good plot which hooked me to finishing the drama very fast, hehe.

131.	Comments by chadine [Rating: 10/10] perfect
132.	Comments by inessalenin [Rating: 9/10] The discussion about men and women's relationship is deep and thoughtful. In early time, women always give up their respect to maintain the romance or marriage first, but men seemed not got the lesson. As soon as women's attitude became strong, they'll risk to giving up the romance.
133.	Comments by pawnakai [Rating: 10/10] The best combination ever! Kimura and Matsu! They both are so funny here, although Kimura tends to be a bit undecided here.... Love the magic trick bit. I simply love, enjoy watching this drama!!!
134.	Comments by IkematsuSosuke [Rating: 10/10] Great drama..perfect chenistry between Takuya & Takako..watch it!!!
135.	Comments by FedererExpress [Rating: 7/10] i don't seem to like Kimura Takuya dramas that much even to all the disdain of the drama community
136.	Comments by Lucian Dureau [Rating: 8/10] The perfect couple for many people: Kimaku and Matsu. It's a good dorama but like the character of Kimaku, you doubt after watched if you like a lot or only a few.
137.	Comments by Geezer [Rating: 8/10] Fun show. Kimura and Mastu were coming into their own here, and they worked well together.
138.	Comments by Larc [Rating: 8/10] Love Generation took a lot of the ideas from the classic drama, Tokyo Love Story. Granted, I'm taking off points because it's not very original. Even the girl's name, Riko (from Love Generation) is similar to the name Rika (from Tokyo Love Story)... Hmm. Ironically, there is a scene in Tokyo Love Story where this one kid on the train calls Rika, Riko instead. Although, Matsu Takako (Riko) did a good job (even though she was a bit annoying in the beginning), she clearly is trying to be like Suzuki Honami's (Rika) character. Haha, are you still with me on the Rika and Riko thing? Okay, whatever. Obviously not everything is the same but there sure are a lot of similarities. I mean, it does have some of its own moments (like the ending for episode 5 was... cute). At first it seemed really cheesy between the two, like, why is this Riko girl seriously obsessed with this Teppei (Kimura) guy even though he was clearly treating her like crap? (I guess it really is true how girls go for that type than the typical nice guy?) But anyways, later on, I guess they do match together. Some of the episodes were really good, but then it kind of dragged on between the two always fighting. It was sort of like watching between a real reality couple. The theme song for this drama is nice, it's one of those songs that really grow on you after hearing it many times. It also has CAGNET (Long Vacation). The soundtrack for this drama is VERY GOOD! I also liked the entire cast as well. Overall, it was memorable and there's definitely chemistry between the characters. I would probably watch it again. Remember though, this drama pretty much copied TOKYO LOVE STORY! It's not the other way around. The ending was a bit cheesy for me too.
139.	Comments by ando_aja [Rating: 8/10] Just watch it again. I like this kind of dorama.
140.	Comments by HeLLoMinna [Rating: 10/10] love it! matsu and kimura...great chemistry, can feel what they feel.

143.	Comments by merumerumee [Rating: 10/10] my first drama and my favourite...takuya kimura and takako matsu look very compatible with each other in this drama
144.	Comments by godai-san [Rating: 7/10] I'm only at episode 3 so my rating can change, but if it doesn't pick up soon I'm gonna have to drop it even lower. THIS is one of the best doramas of all time?!? The lead chick is annoying me and right now I'm not connecting with the characters. I'll give this dorama a chance but something better happen soon. Just my opinion. Theme song is good, though.
145.	Comments by Tu_triky [Rating: 9/10] An unforgettable classic pairing two famous celebrities from "Long Vacation." One of the most memorable dramas I've ever seen and makes one realize that very few dramas rise to this level in terms of performance and entertainment. Absolutely great chemistry between Matsu Takako and Kimura Takuya set this drama apart from the crowd.

159.	Comments by v1olet [Rating: 10/10] a very romantic and impressive drama. i love the ending too. takuya kimura & takako matsu, they make a very good couple. true love never runs smooth :P
160.	Comments by eightysix [Rating: 9/10] Loved it. Matsu Takako was so cute and great performance once again by my hero Kimura Takuya.
161.	Comments by blakmetalik [Rating: 10/10] My first jdorama love. Although I wasn't happy with all the needless misunderstandings between the two main characters, and I didn't always agree with the characters' decisions, I believe these qualities make a gripping, tense, and exciting drama! I think Kimura Takuya and Matsu Takako had wonderful chemistry. Great soundtrack too. Highly recommended.
162.	Comments by moonchyld [Rating: 8/10] not bad. it's fun to see them bicker at each other! kimutaku ni ichiban niai no onna ha yappa gocha gocha itteru onna da yo na~

167.	Comments by Chokoreto_Gal [Rating: 8/10] true love never run smooth!
168.	Comments by beryl_28 [Rating: 9/10] I love the feel between the two main actor and actress.. they hit off really well!
169.	Comments by GIGI [Rating: 9/10] One of my favorites of all Takuya dramas. Although the story line is simple, the story-telling was done well. Gave me a glimpse of a life in Tokyo during that time (must still be today). Takuya gave that salaryman character a bigger dimension. Not to mention the fact that he was a gorgeous salaryman. :-)
170.	Comments by viOLet harukO [Rating: 10/10] riKo & teppei!! anOther favOurite Of mine!! iF you like Love stories....yOu reaLLy cannOt miss tHis drama!! heart breaking & tears...happineSs and KiSses~*
171.	Comments by fahsum [Rating: 7/10] This drama was pretty boring. I watched it from beginning to end hoping it would be good since it was so popular among jdorama fans and had such good ratings, but it was a waste of my time. At least the ending was a happy ending.
172.	Comments by Boogoo8 [Rating: 7/10] Very good!
173.	Comments by donna8157 [Rating: 8/10] Definitely a cute romance drama that is worthwhile to watch. Kimura Takuya plays a great Teppei. In the beginning, I didn't like him as much, but as the show progresses you see how he changes and how much his character opens up. Matsu Takako was cute as Riko, though at times I thought she was rather nonsensical especially towards the end situation.
174.	Comments by ashitaka [Rating: 8/10] I think I would have enjoyed this drama better if I were a woman. Still, it was definitely worth watching, and I did feel a connection with Teppei. Good soundtrack, too.
175.	Comments by uglymale [Rating: 7/10] Generic love story. Unforgettable OST.
176.	Comments by schon [Rating: 7/10] kimutaku becomes a something I forgot.
177.	Comments by pandora [Rating: 4/10] WHAT DO PEOPLE LIKE ABOUT THIS DORAMA apart from the fact that Takuya and Takako are in it!!!!! It was an absolute waste of my valuable time!!!!!
178.	Comments by SunnyDoll [Rating: 9/10] Another classic by takuya.... The story had a good mixture of touching and humourous moments. takuya and matsu look so cute together as a couple too! Watch it!
179.	Comments by Ushiroyubi [Rating: 8/10] Very good drama. I loved the intimate "urban feel" and the subtle build of the Kimura and Matsu's relationship in this stubborn love story
180.	Comments by williu [Rating: 10/10] Love Generation really is a great drama - I used to think otherwise, but after rewatching it I changed my opinion. It's really good, albeit not as good as the best of the Kimtaku dramas.
181.	Comments by Hide/Takky [Rating: 8/10] an ok drama for me... brilliant acting from kimura and although as much as i hate to say it takako matsu is very annoying in this drama
182.	Comments by koalabear [Rating: 8/10] A friend said I wouldn't like this as the on again off again romance is very tedious, but to be honest, Riko and Teppei are such a sweet and lovable couple, that you can't get mad at them for having so many difficulties. I particularly felt for Riko - after having seen the actress in LV and Hero, I really hadn't expected that she could be so touchingly vulnerable and heart-on-sleevish in her acting. She was really wonderful and there are some very touching moments in this jdorama. The only bad things are - big big thumbs down to Teppei's Annoyingly Tedious Ex Girlfriend. I KNOW every single jdorama (except the fabulous Good Luck ;) seems to need to have a Previous Love for which One of the Main Characters has not recovered, but this girl was particularly tedious. Why didn't she just move in with Teppei instead of parking herself outside his apartment everytime she had a problem - which was all the time :) Anyway, great jdorama - highly recommended.
183.	Comments by MilkyWay [Rating: 9/10] Definetely a classic. Sometimes "old-school" dorama are really the best ^^ The chemistry between Teppei (Kimutaku) and Riko (Matsu) is awsome and looks so realistic. Honestly, if I would have been her and Teppei would have cheated on me like that, I would have kicked his ass and let him go.
184.	Comments by natzumi [Rating: 10/10] Love it! Great soundtrack and a wonderful storyline.
185.	Comments by Julianlivre [Rating: 8/10] These 2 characters is I think the best perfectly matches couple for dramas, they do the acting almost perfectly together and it is fun to watch these two.
186.	Comments by anoneko [Rating: 3/10] I found this REALLY boring. Couldn't finish watching it! :(
187.	Comments by cntraltdel [Rating: 9/10] Entertaining.

191.	Comments by srm9240 [Rating: 8/10] Well plotted with a generous sense of humor derived from realistic character interactions.
192.	Comments by cookielmy [Rating: 10/10] This is another good dorama with Matsu Takako and Takuya Kimura..they are really born to act together.. there's so many other dorama they acted together..and this is one of it.. This is really a show of love..you can see passionate kissing scenes.. so sweeet!!! Well,that's the best part..lol

195.	Comments by Taurmindo [Rating: 10/10] the first jdorama i ever watched. it's the cause of me even starting to like this stuff. increadibly good drama, with great acting, terrific story and that kind of serie that can be watched over and over and over again..
196.	Comments by Alatariel [Rating: 7/10] Perhaps my judgement is affected by Katagiri Teppei. I don't like his character but overall the story fab.
197.	Comments by -kk- [Rating: 9/10] I really really really like kimura in this drama..and i love the plot!! hehe
198.	Comments by lynn minmei [Rating: 8/10] Very romantic. The chemistry between Takuya and Takako is very good and they also looks good together. I highly recommend it.
199.	Comments by Lil_Naka [Rating: 8/10] Pretty good, I still dont understand why everyone thinks KimuTaku is such a great actor, lol

208.	Comments by z123_us [Rating: 10/10] excellent series indeed, great cast, great story of modern love in city and work environment. enjoyed it a lot. must see!
209.	Comments by polygonebye [Rating: 6/10] Kimura & Matsu are two of my favorites and they are always great together in a drama. However, the story started to drag after ep. 6 and I had to force myself to finish the whole thing...
210.	Comments by Prongs [Rating: 10/10] Awesome True love never runs smooth
211.	Comments by yamete_evie [Rating: 6/10] You can't fail with a combination of Kimura Takuya and Matsu Takako. Although I got a bit seasick with their ups and downs, this is a genuinely fun drama. Teppei must decide between the girl he loved since high school, who is now engaged to his brother, and the headstrong Riko.
212.	Comments by ainangst [Rating: 6/10] So so.Okey lar but kinda annoying...

217.	Comments by fybabe [Rating: 7/10] i prefer long vacation
218.	Comments by kaiserlin [Rating: 9/10] also a classic one, but I prefer to Tokyo love story which is more meaning
219.	Comments by arwenna [Rating: 7/10] Not a bad effort.
220.	Comments by Dorochive [Rating: 2/10] I just can't understand why is this so good to the majority.
