Think me weird, but I feel that this show has TERRIFIC ending!! It's one of the best endings I've ever seen, although everyone prefers a happy ending. Worth buying, though I haven't bought it. Another drama blockbuster.

a very well done japanese drama i must say. sadly, there were disputes between sorimachi takashi and esumi makiko that made the drama not as perfect as it should be. sorimachi is an newspaper photographer who first meets esumi, a hair stylist, on new years eve and then again at his sisters house where they would be living together. they understand each other really well and therefore are meant to be together, but many obstacles are in the way before they could ever be together(ex. sorimachi's girlfriend played by kimura yoshino and esumi's doctor boyfriend.) the ending was rather a suprise. recommend to all who like to watch romance dramas. |

Another good one with Sorimachi and also the first dorama I saw with Esumi Makiko. I liked the various relationships everyone had together, but otherwsie it was a pretty basic dorama plot with no surprises. I think I like it so much because of the great acting. |

omg, this is the best jap drama i've ever watched. when i saw the ending for the first time, i couldn't get rid of it from my head for two days, and i keep thinking why do they end up that way. after watching it for the nth times, i begin to get it.
two thumbs up, definitely!!!! |

I really enjoyed this dorama!~ Sorimichi and Makiko played really well as a couple in the drama. This drama was both funny and heart-warming at the sametime. You might have to prepare some tissues when you are watching the last two episodes!~ |

I watched this series on and off.. What can I say? it didn't really makes me waited and anticipated for it. But what I can really say is I like the ending.It's so real..and I really think for once I'm gonna cry.Watching this series, I learned: To love doesn't really means to have.. |

What i love about this drama? Herm.. Let see, i think, it has a very lovely beginning. I just love the moment when Souchiro and Natsuki met! It's so cute !!! Plus all of the songs is great and wonderful !!
I think it have a very super suck ending!! How could it end that way !! Souchiro is such a loser!!
Love those wonderful early moment of Souchiro and Natsuki!! She is so funny !! |
| 14. | Comments by Yuki [Rating: 9/10]
This dorama is kinda funny. And goes fine. However the ending is really not what I have expected . I thought they are going to be together unfortunately they're not. Esumi and Takashi only became friends at last., best friend.Don't you think it's kinda disappointing?? |
| 15. | Comments by ambery24 [Rating: 8/10]
Too bad they didn't end up together!!! |
| 16. | Comments by Ryvyan [Rating: 10/10]
One of my favourite drama of all time! Very great plot and acting. Though the two leads did not get together in the end, we can see that loving another does not mean to have him/her. Touching and realistic unlike the other happily-ever-after doramas. |

I like the role of Takeshi... so different cuz I watch GTO first but when I watch this movie it kind of different feeling. I dont like the ending... |

misleading ending. i like it because of esumi makiko. the story is not bad, just the ending spoils it for me. do watch tho! |

Ah! This drama was really great! It is one of the best drama I've ever watched! I love this drama a lot a lot! Without any delay, I saved some money and bought this drama back. The drama was really nice I would say. Makiko Esumi's acting was really fantastic! Her acting was so real! Her characterisic was suite to this drama. The songs were nice too. Buy the soundtrack if possible..it's nice! |
| 20. | Comments by jdfan [Rating: 8/10]
This drama is written by Kitagawa Eriko (who wrote Long Vacation and later the huge-hit Beautiful Life). I specially like this drama because of Sorimachi's VERY good mature acting here and Esumi Makiko is as always very good too! In GTO or Beach Boys, Sorimachi always does his funny faces (I like that too, but believe me, he's a lot more mature/cooler here!) Many beautiful dialogs exchanged between Sorimachi and Esumi who hovers between friends and lovers. I don't wanna spoil the atmosphere but the ending is not what we would expect. But still VERY touching ending. The heart-breaking last scene really makes the whole drama worth watching. Not enough touching moments in between. Although this was written by the same writer created Long Vacation, its not at the same level. I'm a little disappointed with this drama when comparing it to Long Vacation. |

Good drama, with many famous actors (Sorimachi Takashi, Esumi Makiko, Kimura Yoshino, Haruhiko Kato to name a few) Only thing that killed this drama was the ending, a bit of unrequited love on my part. The two characters I was rooting to get together didn't~_~. Still, good to watch. |
| 22. | Comments by otaking [Rating: 10/10]
Esumi Makiko is my Goddess. I saw her in Shomuni 2 first, and when I heard that she had done this series with Sorimachi Takashi, I jumped all over this series and watched it all in one shot! I beleive that this is Sorimachi and Esumi's "A" Game performance so far. |
| 23. | Comments by krissblade [Rating: ?/10]
This drama was bittersweet for me. The relationship between Ezumi Makiko and Sorimachi is one made in heaven. The deepest kind of love on all levels: friendship, love, family...The kind of love that you dream for in a partner or marriage in life. The twist in the end really made me think. A VERY Japanese ending :P |

A very entertaining drama, except for the ending, very unexpected. |
| 25. | Comments by majinbads [Rating: 8/10]
A highly watchable romance drama quite like Long Vacation but fell a bit short on the ending (a big problem for those who壇 like a happy ending). Great theme song by The Brilliant Green. Make a Malaysian like me take notice of Jpop. Why do they make Makiko Esumi look like that? She is a beauty. Even Fuyumi is no match for her. |
| 26. | Comments by amethyst [Rating: 8/10]
A story of a love rectangle (is there such a term?). Beautiful ending, sad but realistic. |
| 27. | Comments by dnie [Rating: 8/10]
OT is a story about fallin in love with an older woman. LV has dealt
with this issue and resolved quite wonderflly. This dorama however
resolves it differently fm LV. what's good abot OT is the characterization.
the plot is recycled.. |

A really touching dorama. Excellent chemistry and a realistic story to boot. My emotions are still easily stirred up everytime I hear 'I Believe' playing. |
| 40. | Comments by limpaway [Rating: 8/10]
I really liked this show. However the ending was very very disappointing. It is quite similar to Long Vacation in that a younger guy and older woman fall in love with each other and became really good friends before they fall for each other. I wish the ending would be similar too. This is also the first show I've seen with Esumi Makiko and I think she played her role wonderfully. |

first time i watched this dorama,i felt in love with it and that was 3 years ago.recently i brought the dorama and rewatched it,i must say the emotions i felt during my first watch had worn out already.haha..funny isn't it?well,probably the years have teach me to have higher taste and better senses in judging doramas as i watch more and more doramas through the time.so the once charming sorimachi takashi is now not at all charming through my point of view.ahaha he looked old, rigid and dumb here.so right now i still couldn't find out what made me think that he was charming and handsome last 3 years.well to be fair,i suppose i have to write this view considering my first watch too.so what first caught my attention in this dorama was esumi makiko.i think she was beautiful and brilliant here.i don't really like her in power office girl at first.so through this 'overtime' dorama, i learnt what a stunning performer she is.and i must say i love the ending too.ahaha..it was sad however, it was unique and different.it left me this deep hole inside my heart,making my life felt so empty at that moment.so i guess the ending was the one that made this dorama unforgettable and beautiful.and the piano version(voiceless) of 'i believe' really touched my soul,driving me crazy even until now. |
| 59. | Comments by arashilove [Rating: 5/10]
Okay, I guess. But still, for me, this drama is overrated. Good soundtrack, however I did not cry, nor laugh. Plus, I felt that Kimura Yoshino's character was very annoying. So clingy... I also cannot stand Esumi Makiko. Even still, I liked Fuyumi and Soichiro the best. |
| 60. | Comments by Geezer [Rating: 9/10]
I just thought this was a good solid show beginning to end. |
| 61. | Comments by AngelXing [Rating: 8/10]
I truly enjoyed watching this drama. Sorimachi actually did really well in this 'normal' role. Although i found esumi annoying at times. Like an overgrown kid. Felt like screaming, 'GROW UP!' numerous times while watching her. Ugh...can't stand her sometimes. But over all, it was great. The ending was superb. It shouldn't end other ways. |

Really good soundtrack and entertaining story... Natsuki and Soichiro were so funny together. While it's from the same folks that brought us Long Vacation, the tale of Over Time is completely different, it revolves around love and sacrifice. Esumi Makiko, Ishida Yuriko, Kimura Yoshino, and Tanaka Rena provide some serious eye-candy in this dorama. |
| 68. | Comments by DragonSpirit164 [Rating: 8/10]
Hmmm.. Very slow start to the drama but it picks up pace storyline wise halfway through. Amazing, amazing soundtrack!! This drama probably has so many good songs I may actually consider buying its soundtrack lol... I felt that the ending was quite nice, and it fit the general theme of the drama quite well.
Very nice chemistry between Soichiro and Natsuki, which was the very big plus point to an otherwise slightly dull storyline. |

Sorimachi's best performance most likely. He does justive to a more subtle, sensitive role than his usual overblown ones.. Didnt know he had it in him. A totally absorbing plot, I was completely hooked into these characters lives. It would have gotten a 10 if I had liked the end. But that is purely subjective viewpoint. :>) |

Wow. I just finished watching this. I don't know if they attempeted to create another ''Long vacation'', but this one scores! Sorimachi and top cast, except Makiko whom I've always disliked though she's in her best role here, make this one a nice and mellow friends-love show a winner! I think the late 90s favored this kind of format and hey, it works! U can't imagine what's the ending is like! Watch! |
| 94. | Comments by donna8157 [Rating: 8/10]
I would actually like to give this drama 8.5/10 for its strong plot from beginning to end and the magnificent set of actors and actresses that were involved in it. I think the best part of this drama was the depth of character in each person - from Natsuki's insecurities to Soichiro's sensitivity and love.
The interaction and chemistry between Esumi Makiko and Sorimachi Takeshi was amazing. The friendship between her and Soichiro seemed very real and very sweet. I especially loved the scene where Soichiro tells Natsumi that he'll give her the scene of Tokyo Tower. As cheesy as it would sound, it was really touching.
Out of all the dramas that I've seen with Esumi Makiko, I think she shines the most in this one. Her feelings and expressions seemed natural and sometimes brought out a tear or two. The supporting actors and actresses also did a wonderful job. I especially liked Shiina Kippei's character as Dr. Kuga, Nat-chan's other love interest. I highly recommend watching this drama for both the excellent cast and story! After watching it, I'm sure the theme song will be replaying in your head. |

One of the best! Great soundtrack, cast, plot & dialogues! Some hate the ending but I thought it's realistic & different from the typical. I enjoyed the chemistry between the 2 main actors & how overtime they develop feelings for each other. Sometimes your soulmate is just beside you you know! Watched the last few episodes many times & hugged my pillow & cried many times (crazy! hahaha!) No match for afew years till I watched Boku Dake No Madonna which is on par with this then. |

love the realistic ending because Sochiro and Natsuki are not only lovers but soulmates, who do not have to be always together, they are there to spur each other on even if separated :) |

Wonderfully acted out by Sorimachi Takashi and Esumi Makiko. Of the four Kitagawa doramas I've seen, I must say all four are among the finest jdoramas i've had the pleasure of watching. Over Time is just a tad weaker than the others but amazing nonetheless. The story is predictable for the most part aside from the unexpected ending. Personally, the music might have been a bit too slow but it seemed to meld well with the pace of the rest of the dorama. |

This drama has a different view on deep plationic relationships. The things the characters does seem very sponanious at times or very contained for the sake of not revealing too much to the other person (whatever all that means lol) So basically what the main characters do sometimes is hard to understand. The people that do make sense and seems to know whats going on are haruko and fuyumi lol.. and YES like everyone said the ENDING SUCKED!
overall a great drama and great acting, with a major all star cast you cannot miss! the takashi here is like the one in virgin road, very sweet! |

too ordinary love story to be good. The 3 first episodes are ok but then it becomes shit. The girl who was always crying and saying that it was too painful to date with sorimachi was just pissing me of! So do quotes like "I love you but I don't know if it is like a friend" " I love you but It's too paintful to love you" "I'm happy as long as your happy". I mean I've heard this 234 times in Jdorama. If Sorimachi wasn't in the cast this would deserve a 1 or it wouldn't deserve a review! |

An incredible piece of fiction from my favorite screenwriter, Eriko Kitagawa. This drama engendered such warm feelings, by the end of the story I truly felt as if I had known these characters for years. The intimate look at the life of these palpably real characters was fantastically executed given the sincere effort by the actors. Sorimachi and Esumi Makiko had superb chemistry which I will forever remember. After having seen many recently released dramas, returning to a "classic" drama such as this triggered an indeliable sense of nostalgia reminding me why I was so attracted to dramas in the beginning, many years ago. My only criticism was the difficulty trying to reconcile the ending with my perceptions of the show. I found the ending fairly heart-rending. Ultimately this is the type of drama that you don't want to end and you're sad when it does. |

I love this!! The ending was a bit sad to me. Soichiro and Natsuki didn't get together. |

An underrated drama, on its face, nothing special, but it really works well. The characters really interact well together to create a touching and funny series. |

Overall an okay series, but it tends to be draggy and annoying at times. It's sweet but forgettable. Sorimachi is boring though Esumi is great. The ending is one that I was rooting for so that's a big plus for me. |

Disappointing ending... Not bad though... Wish I had a roommate such as So-chan! |

I really enjoyed this drama. It is a warm and touching love story. Sorimachi's acting was one of best points in series.
The ending might be another but that doesn't change how great is this dorama. |

This story is very interesting. It has depth and discusses the line between friendship and lover with man and woman. |

Alternate to Long Vacation. Good, but not as good. And I didn't like the ending. |

Another great one from Eriko Kitagawa, Esumi and Sorimachi were great together, special mention to Kippei Shiina and Yuriko Ishida. |

Nice love story, I won’t say much just that I found the dialogues between men and women refreshingly open and honest for a Japanese drama. |

A wonderful drama that had a great ending, contrary to popular belief! The drama loves that a soulmate doesn't always have to be the one you end up with. |

I loved the first 11 episodes but hated the last one, by far one of the worst endings i have seen so far.
The characters were all very enjoyable, specially the relationship between Endo and Fuyumi and Kaede and Natsuki had great moments too(damn stupid ending :( ).
Anyway a very good dorama if you like the likes of Long Vacation and Boku dake no Madonna. |

Story was kinda slow. Lots of metaphors and analogies about love and life. I didn't like the pairing of Sorimachi Takashi and Esumi Makiko, not a great match. Esumi cries alot in this one, very emotional/hormonal, and not Sorimachi Takashi's greatest act either, I've seen him do better. Watched it to see Ito Hideaki (Kobayashi). |

Watched on local tv before those broadcasting disagreement between Fuji TV and Singapore TV. *rolls eyes*
A very realistic drama. Takashi Sorimachi in a more serious role. Would like to watch this again if i get the chance, in future. Just realised that Yoshino Kimura was in this. So THAT was her. Nice drama with a great cast. Love the theme song and OST very much!!! |

I was kinda disappointed about the end of this drama..I hoped for Natsuki and Soichiro to be together because their relationship was so great.. |

Pretty hard to judge. I really enjoyed it, but it didn't leave me with just as big an impact as for example GTO, My Boss My Hero or Beach Boys, but it's still a great Romantic story.
Usually in these kinds of doramas where the lead person can't shoose between two persons, I tend to make a favorite right from the very start. But in this one I wasn't able to make up my mind at all. Every time Soichiro was with Natsuki I thought "This is the right one for him", but the same happened every time he was with Nazuna.
The acting is superp! Sorimachi Takashi is and will always be my favorite actor.
I was a bit unsure about Esumi Makiko in the beginning - can she pull of a role like this?
I've only seen her in Shomuni where's she a kinda bossy and straight forward woman.
And I can honestly say she did an amazing job! I love her way of telling everyone exactly how she feels.
All in all it's a 8/10 from me - very close to 9/10, tho. |
