1.	4 Lovers of sad love stories [Rating: 7/10] Quite a touching show. I would say that it is worth watching.

2.	Sad but good ending [Rating: 6/10] Not too bad. Good performance from Takako but a bit sad in the middle.

3.	Another beautiful TOKIWA performance [Rating: 8/10] She once again shows how great an actress she really is. She always gives such captivating performances, she never looks as if she is playing a part. Her role is so genuine you almost feel like you are spying on someones real life. She gives a great performance as the young woman forced to sell herself to try and help her brothers plight. She shows how far she was willing to degrade herself to make money for the operation. SHe also shows how high price she pays, in losing respect for herself.

1.	Comments by ct_subang [Rating: 6/10] yet another takako dorama..paired with another smap member..nakai-kun..sweet,sad & sour�
2.	Comments by takuya_angel [Rating: 9/10] Nakai is sooooo handsome!!! Tokiwa is a fab actress as usual. The storyline was quite interesting. I really enjoyed it! And did i mention Nakai was extremely Kakkoii in this show??
3.	Comments by jdfan [Rating: 7/10] This is another dorama that Tokiwa co-star is a member of SMAP. I thought the two leading actors didn't have much chemistry together. This drama was OK but Tokiwa Takako's acting skill out shined Nakai, this will be a great drama if Yutaka Takenouchi takes over the leading role! Imagine that! It was OK...but not great.

10.	Comments by ongrina82 [Rating: 8/10] Good story line. I like the whole story, Nakai and Tokiya match was a good one. They both went through alot before they could get together in the end, a happy ending.
11.	Comments by k4g0me [Rating: ?/10] watching...
12.	Comments by Yukishiro [Rating: 9/10] Watched until ep05. Giving it a 9/10 so far.
13.	Comments by oldasianguy [Rating: 9/10] I'm a sucker for Tokiwa Takako...She's an amazing actress and every show she's in... usually is a winner...
14.	Comments by fasix [Rating: ?/10] A forever love / Last love / Never fall in love again
15.	Comments by bba1 [Rating: 5/10] This drama wasnt good. Nakai Masahiro's character was too dull. Tokiwa Takako does her usual average acting (she's had similar roles like this one). Hosokawa Naomi was kawaii though.
16.	Comments by Signo [Rating: 8/10] typicall old school love story. the story is constant good, the end could be better. tokiwa takako acts damn good in this dorama!!!
17.	Comments by Ezalor [Rating: 7/10] (Again...) pretty standard dorama. Tokiwa Takako is veeery hot. BUT the story lost the power in the middle. The overall screenplay lacked the humorous part for such a dorama type. One of the lamest and most unspectacular endings i've ever seen.
