1. Slow Drama [Rating: 3/10]
Give it a miss. No chemistry between Takako & Yusuke at all.

2. Great love story [Rating: 10/10]
One of my favorites. Great chemistry between stars but is an unlikely combination! Matsu was funny, adorable and cute. Yusuke Santamaria was very funny. The ending make you feel happy! I was actually surprised about how good this drama turned out to be! I'm just curious whether Matsu is really like this in person.

I think this was pretty good. Not the best but still fun to watch. Some scenes involving the friends I didn't really care about though. If you are a fan of Matsu Takako then you should give it a try.

The show is a bit slow, plot is good, but not fantastic.. but is good, as Takako has acted very well. She is very very funny and comedic.

I think that there is not much chemistry between them though, and the actor looks like an uncle to takako more than koibito.

I think the ending last part is a bit funny though... and even encourages people to go for omiai...

A good first episode but later episodes drag. Santamaria and Takako have little chemistry after the first episode. Also, Santamaria didn't suit this role. The subplots surrounding their friends get in the way. Could have been done better.

Nice theme song.

Unlike many of its counter-parts, the plot of this drama actually
goes somewhere- contains many thought-provoking one-liners,
perfect touch of humor.

One of my favorites. Great chemistry between stars but is an unlikely combination! Matsu was funny, adorable and cute. As his first leading man job, Yusuke Santamaria was very funny. The ending make you feel happy! I was actually surprised about how good this drama turned out to be! I'm just curious whether Matsu is really like this in person. There were a few touching moments and Matsu stole the whole show. That's why she is one of the top leading ladies in Japanese dorama. Note: the soundtracks were good too.

Light hearted story with the supporting characters playing a major role. Worth taking a look at.
5. Comments by dnie [Rating: 8/10]
A sweet story of how Omiai kekkon(arranged marriage) cd be a perfect union of two souls..this dorama highlights that Omiai Kekkon is not bad at all, if u know how to use it well..Matsu Takako is much naught-ier than in love gen and yusuke plays an honest, straight guy..good couple and beautiful theme song by Matsu Takako..

Matsu Takako at her finest as an upbeat and determined girl who doesn't feel like getting married at the moment since she has had such horrible luck with dating. Yusuke Santamaria and Matsu Takako have great chemistry and the story only gets funnier as time goes on. The last episode is really when I sighed and smiled. It was great! This is a must-see.

This drama is seriously really funny. I laughed so much in each episode. <fangirling>YOSUKE IS SO HOT IN THIS DRAMA EVENTHOUGH HE ISN'T EVEN THE MAIN CHARACTER IN THE DRAMA </fangirling>
There are bits that are really weird and I think it wasn't quite necessary, but it was all those bits that made the drama sp funny and enjoyable.
I didn't particuarly like the storyline that much, but it was alright!
13. Comments by drive [Rating: 10/10]
I really enjoyed this one. Although it didn't very well in terms of rating due to Kimura's "beautiful life", in my personal opinion, this was better. Good mixture of humor and seriousness. I learned many good lessons about life from Tanuma san as well :)
Thought it was very candid story of human life.

Ok, and funny. I never really got into this one, though. Probably because the main guy wan't too cute. Yah, I'm shallow like that.

one of takako most interesting drama, the story is good and she is really pretty in this drama. The only downside is Yusuke Santamaria who doesn't look particularly well match with takako.
19. Comments by yolande [Rating: 5/10]
this dorama was played on tv while i was having exams, so exam stress may account for the floods of tears i experienced every episode. this is not exactly a bawl-bawl tearjerker, in fact, its supposed to be a comedy. but the plot, though rather predictable, was moving and very sweet. good acting from santamaria and kubozuka. matsu takako is adorable in this show.
20. Comments by DragonSpirit164 [Rating: 8/10]
Good drama. Matsu Takako was very kirei in this.. Not much fire going on here between Santamaria and Takako, but I believe it was because their characters were not meant to be comfortable with each other in the first place... I wish Kotaru would be more decisive though... Sakura no ame, Itsuka is one of the BEST theme songs ever..

Is a nice dorama, but tends to drag and the pace is slow and true to the theme, its hard to feel that the lead two really care for each other.

Despite the low quality of the video I've received great pleasure watching this drama. It show the developmet of the relationship between two people, who met through arranged marriage meeting. It shows how woman gets rid of her selfishness, how man explores what it is - to take care about his woman. And how both of them find their happiness.

Boring story....Matsu is funny and witty although I never liked the opposite actor. No chemistry at all, same thing with the background casts. TOO BORING. D - is deserving.

nobody wants to get married through ommiai, but lots people do that by circumstances. this dorama tells the despair and true felling of people involved in arranged marriage. sweet and funny drama.

This jdrama was a surprise. It revolves around love and falling in love vs. arranged marriage.
Add to it the complications of family expectations, friends and job, and you'll end up with a wonderful story of character growth. I loved the acting, the plot was well paced and full of surprising turns.

This is a nice romantic comedy about a couple who meet through an arranged marriage and find themselves growing fond of each other despite a rocky start. Though the 2 main actors are popular, I thought that the comedy relief of the supporting cast made it a watchable drama. If it weren't for them, this would be a mediocre show.

A Classic. No surprise since Yusuke Santamaria and Matsu Takako both star!

Matsu has matured both in her looks and in her acting by now. Her looks now make her absolutely desirable. Her acting has been refined to stage where only the very best from Japan could hold a candle to her so that most of the time you can't help but to focus on her because she stands out so much more--kind of like a Vivian Leigh, Rita Hayworth or Liz Taylor. Do watch this---a light /humorous love story and you will be delighted that you did. Notice also Matsu sings the theme song here.
11. ando_aja
Very funny and amusing. First I see it because it was starred by takako Matsu, which is one of my favourite actress, then I just couldn't stop watch it. I like the soundtrack also, Sakura no ame, itsuka, sounds sad but so enjoyable.
