1. Enjoyable! [Rating: 10/10]
This drama is really good. I recommend this to everyone. The storyline is interesting and it's nice to see Tsuyoshi so stern yet so caring and funny at the same time. Prepare lots of tissues though coz' the last 2 episodes are really, really sad.

2. Excellent~ [Rating: 8/10]
(Real score I gave is 8.5 ... but can't select that :P)

Watching this series, I thought that the series did relate to a lot of things in real life and is made even better by the actors/actresses in the show. I think this will make you bring out the tissues, cause the story is quite emotional. Overall a show worth watching.

3. Fabulous!! [Rating: 9/10]
This show is just one of the many showcases of Tsuyoshi's acting muscles...coupled with the fact that it has a fablous story and supporting cast..(though Ryoko only knows how to smile throughout the show,but I can say she kinda fits the bill of the female lead's character) this is a must watch for dorama fans.If not for a certain scene in the middle episodes of the show,the ending is kinda unpredictable,which is nevertheless just as touching.

No doubt one of the best Jap drama ever film. Tsuyoshi is so funny in the show, really looks like an uncle. After working so many times with Komatsu Eriko (writer for Tsuyoshi's To Heart, Ao no Jidai, etc). I think Eriko will not disappoint Tsuyoshi and all his fans in the new coming Autumn drama with Takeuchi Yuko. I will be looking forward to it.

This is what i call everlasting love story. I really enjoyed the show, although at first i can't understand it cause my japanese aren't good enough. But after i learned some more, I find that Natsuo's sacrifice is just like Titanic movie. Tsuyoshi is one of my favorite actor. He makes me laugh with his act every morning in the show. And of course, Ryoko's.....love it. Her act is great...and the end is soo touching. I cried every time I see it again. The show is a must see dorama i very recomended.

This is the 1st show dat i find it very funny and sad. It makes me laugh and cry thru the show. I like all the main characters in the show, like tsu(big bro), 2nd bro(dunno his real name), ryoko(yuki), chika and hiroto. They really act well in their own characters, like tsu really look like 'obasan', 2nd bro as 'deaf' person, ryoko as heart problem person and etc... Like most of the reviewers here, this drama is highly recommended, cos my bro, dun fancy jap dramas, also watched this show more than 2 times. SO MUST WATCH!!!

If you're looking for one good example of an everlasting love, then you better watch this drama! The storyline was simple. But realistic perhaps except for the "cute comedies" which was CUTE!! The ending was probably the best part of all. Like what majority of audience said, it was drastic, tragic but really symbolises everlasting love! So guys out there who are planning to hold their cries during the end, DON'T!!! 'CAUSE I'M STILL HURT BY DOING SO!!

However, i must say that i was pretty surprise by how the story turns at the end of the drama...i wonder if you guys notice that 'Natsuo' and 'Yuki' in Japanese Han, if you combine them, means "Summer Snow"! How interesting...

Good acting from Tsuyosi & Ryoko. The story is same like what happen with my Mom. He is work so hard to get his brother and his sister school. Beside he is the type of man who wouldn't give up so easy without trying it first.
I cry in the last episode, that is very touching moment when he still care about his brother, sister, and his girl even he already death.

GOOD ACTING from all of them, especially for Tsuyosi Domoto after became a cool boy in "To Heart", he can be so warm in this drama.

Quite possibly THE greatest drama I have ever watched..and my word, I can't see any other being done better than this.

The story is fantastic, the dialogue fits well with the character's age/personality, and the acting is on par between great and excellent. The ending is plain terrific; I really didn't see it coming, and actually went back the ep's to see any links between the finale (i.e Natsuo's shirt, the interactions with the character, dialogue etc). It is truly a life altering drama, and I fully admit that it's the only one that has made me cry.

I cannot recommend this series enough.

The Story::
The first episodes were so fun to watch, full of youth and energy, that, when the story concluded, I was left feeling really annoyed. I dont like watching these types of shows. But, I definitely agree that the way the story was played out made the show the hit that it is today. It did not give the cliched ending, and although I kinda guessed what might happened, I was still on the edge until the very end.
The Actors::
This was Dohmoto and Hirosue's show. They played the characters so well and convincing. Although Dohmoto got annoying sometimes with his preaching, he remained a generously kind and classy young man. Hirosue's charm convinced me to be her fan :)
In Summary::
If your looking for a drama, this is it. Like everyone said, make sure you have the tissue ready, especially for eps 10 & 11.
"Otsukimi" portion of episode 10 are my favorite scenes in all of the jdoramas! That alone made the show worth watching :)

I'd say it's both a love and family drama, very sweet and heartwarming. And sad, very sad. At least for me the ending was unexpected. Good acting, Dohmoto Tsuyoshi is funny and Hirosue Ryoko irresistably cute as usual. Some scenes were way too corny, but it never got boring.

Heart-warming! Great theme song too! The drama is mainly about love btw siblings, tho fighting constantly but stuck out for each other in bad times, a very "G" rated love relationship plus many funny yet touching moments made this drama overall a unique viewing experience.

The ending has a twist but Last episode was a bit weak for me. Avail for trade, eng sub, 3 dvds.

This is a very touching and funny drama, after watching it gives you a feel good and heart warming feeling. Not to mention you'll be crying your eyes out. Dohmoto Tsuyoshi did an amazing job. He is one of my fav Japanese Dorama actor, the only other Dorama that I got a chance to see him in was Kindaichi shonen no jikenbo 1 and Kindaichi shonen no jikenbo 2. After seeing this it makes me want to watch more of his dorama. But finding them in my area seems a bit difficult.

I'm so pissed off by those who gave really low rating on this dorama on the ground of not liking tsuyoshi or johnny's jr. members. I only knew tsuyoshi tru hajime kindaichi and didin't pay much attention to him personally. Didn't really care who's in johnny jr. (except SMAP of course). Tsuyoshi portray Natsuo to perfection and the chemistry between him and ryoko is fine. Yes he is short, not cute, frumpy(in hobbit kind of way) but he is truly talented (Man..I'm not even his fan). Please GO WATCH IT AGAIN (with a clear, unbiased mind).

Tsuyoshi is a surprisingly good actor. For the most part, he's very funny and engaging. Shun Oguri is wonderful as Jun, and Ryoko Hirosue is an enjoyable Yuki, despite crying hysterically and rather irritatingly throughout the entire show. Even Tsubasa Imai did a decent job, which is notable, as he doesn't appear to have much experience in the drama department.

This show was great -- I laughed, I cried, I imagined Jun naked, I had a good time -- UNTIL THE LAST EPISODE, which was completely and utterly god-awful. I was rolling my eyes so hard I thought my head might explode. Seriously. I won't give away the ending, but I will say that the thought crossed my mind early on -- maybe episode 4 or 5 -- and I dismissed it, saying, "Nah, that's way too stupid and cliched. The wouldn't actually use that for the ending." Well, uh... they did. And if you have more than half a brain, I'm sure you'll pick up on exactly what they're going to do WAY before they actually do it... and you'll laugh because the idea is so lame and played out, then you'll think to yourself, "Oh, god. Why did I waste 10 hours of my life watching this drama? I CAN NEVER GET THAT 10 HOURS BACK AGAIN!"

The ending ruins the entire series. If you absolutely MUST see Summer Snow, please don't bother downloading or watching episode 11, as you will regret it for the rest of your mortal life.

Thank you.

I have absolutely no idea why so much people wrote that the last 2 episodes or the last episode makes them cry so much!

It was sad, but it wasn't emotional enough to make me jerk out a single tear...
Mainly because the music was not one of those sad ones like in GTO or in Sekai no chuushin de, ai wo sakebu.

Typical soap designed to tug at your tear ducts. Yes I got weepy but too much of the plot was unbelievable. You definitely need to turn off your logic detector to enjoy this. Most actions by the characters make little sense (apparently in Japan, if a doctor treats you, you are required to become his girlfriend). Plenty of moments got to me emotionally but you are required to ignore that the story line is kind of lame.

first off, the storyline is awesome. it portrays reality - typical days in Japan, but at the same time the story seems so original. you'll understsand when you watch.
next, this drama features a great cast that made the soap feel so realistic. development of relationship is definitely a plus as well - nothing was rushy..everything flowed smoothly.
then we have the ending, which in my opinion, is vital for adding extra props for summer snow! for me personally, it was unpredictable. if you take the dialogues (at the end) to a deeper level, you'll totally understand just how fulfilling of a meaning the ending creates for natsuo and yuki, and of course the audience.
the music rocks, as always. the ending video matches perfectly with the song. yay for kinki kids! =)

Summer Snow is an unexpected gem. I was putting off watching this dorama for a long, long time until I've finished off some others. I saw the first couple of episodes which seemed slow. But when I finally got down to watching the rest of the dorama, it got me completed hooked. I felt involved and engrossed in the situations all the characters were in, and I laughed and teared up with them. Dohmoto Tsuyoshi acted as the caring, comical and big hearted elder brother to perfection. It was his strength and spirit that inspired and guided his siblings and those who got to know him. What a great memorable character. Oguri Shun played the semi-deaf brother very well. The rest of the supporting cast also performed well, and their characters are authentic and relatable. There is not a false note in their performances, that is why Summer Snow is very memorable to me. It is a simple but moving tale about life, values and love. The soundtrack is very fitting and beautiful.

93. A Wonderful Masterpiece [Rating: 10/10]
This is only the second dorama that I was been able to get my hands on recently. I'm happy that I got it because my real life seems unfulfilling. When I first watched this, I didn't know what to expect, as I don't really support watching soap operas that often. What I found, as I watched along with this dorama, is that there is more you can learn if you watch deeply.

Summer Snow is very realistic in a way that it doesn't make you think of the predictablilty of life and because the dorama doesn't hint on what happens next, you have to watch and become drawn into its fingers. You watch each of the characters grow and metamorphosis right before your eyes and that's completely beautiful, all because of Natsuo.

Some may say that that is a very boring thing, and I understand that this is not everyone's cup of tea, but there is no reason not to say "don't watch this." If you cut through THIS dorama, you've just wasted the entire series. I seriously recommend this to others to watch, but don't make the mistake of it becoming your first tear jerker. ^_^; My first dorama was Hana Yori Dango with MasaJun. ^^

I hope this helped.. <3

It wasn't your typical love story type of sad drama with a typical ending, thus, it was very interesting to watch. If I had a list of memorable drama characters, I think Natsuo would be on it. The actors all portrayed their roles very well...and I found myself crying lots. The only thing I have to critique about this drama is the ending theme. As much as I love the song, sometimes it just didn't match the mood at the end of the episode. But it was still great. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Actually, I was really surprised when I saw that this was ranked second in the drama ranking. I knew this was good, but seriously didn't expect it to win even some of the all-time favourites. Tsuyoshi really portrayed his character really well. You can actually see him getting really angry when the script calls for it. The ending was a little tragic though. Why did Tsuyoshi have to die? Also, I feel that Chizuru tried a little too hard here. Theres a scene at the beginning of the drama when her back was facing the camera and she turned all the way around to look directly in the camera. She was also really loud. She sounded as she was screaming out the script for her parts... to portray as the 'bitchy' (no offence though) character that shw was supposed to be? I don't have enough votes to include this drama though. Sorry :)

The whole episodes are not complicated though, but somehow gives an impact to what's coming ahead. The ending was what somehow moves me the most! It made me feel so painful and sad just wanting to know what was really going on. I burst into tears just waiting to see the truth! I'm sure you'll agree when you see it for yourself.

However, despite all that, Oguri and Tsubasa's acting and storyline was so great. I was really into the drama during that part and I really felt for their characters. They really made the drama worth watching.

i found that most people criticize this drama for being not real. then i think you should ask yourself why you watch dorama at first place. dorama is never being about reality. and yurp, no ass kicking action in this dorama. so, you better leave this dorama alone.

what i can sense in this dorama is about story of love between 2 normal people (still some people accusing it as lack of reality), some good, sometimes dumbass, but kind hearted bicycle shop owner meet with typical sick,dying, gentle banker. what so unreal bout this? something unreal is when one rich handsome guy who spoil his life through night party meet with an angel who also some rich pretty lady who will save his life from misery while during their love story continue, they show off each other with their luxury life like some red ass kicking ferarri, big bugalow at the top of most beautiful hill on earth. that's the definition of unreal.

this dorama is the best in term of emotion. it's bring the best of our emotion, tearing us apart and remind us on how important love is. for me, this movie make me appreciating my family more than before. i realize that life is short and shit happened. anytime in your life, death may came and take your love one away from you. love them, embrace them, appreciate them, kiss them, hug them, spend your time with them before you'll regret it.

eventhough the ending suck, but the world not promising happy ending for you as always you may seen on TV or drama (another reality for FUCKING reality seeker). life is so not perfect. :)

See them struggle through their life, have fights with each other, but in the end overcome every obstacle like a family..that was really inspiring to watch.

A great show. The romance is simple yet powerful. Tsuyoshi played such a wonderful character in the show, it really sux to see him depart the world in the last episode... having sacrificed himself to save a child, indeed a role model of this modern society...

The story line is gear for families. A very sad ending. What ifc.? A lot of fans like this drama.
13. Comments by Eyrien* [Rating: 5/10]
I know that the rest of the drama world loves this drama, but for reason it fell WAY short to me, most likely because of the abundancy of Johnny's Jr. like characters, most of them have just started their acting careers, so they're still a little rough around the edges. I thought that Hirose Ryoko and Dohmoto Tsuyoshi made a weird on screen couple, mostly because of their character personalities. It didn't seem to me like they were in love at all. Also, Tsuyoshi tried a LITTLE too hard to perfect his chracter, sometimes it seems a little forced, not natural. The one actor that blew me away with his acting skills what the brother who was deaf. Before I realized who he was (the student from GTO who was always getting picked on) I actually thought that he did have hearing problems. All in all, so-so.

Tsuyoshi acts as a young man, Natsuo, who takes on the role of a parent to his younger siblings after their parents died in an accident. Brilliantly depicts the brotherly love he has for them and the budding love he has for Yuki (Hirosue Ryoko) with a heart problem. Ending is sad but that way they will be together forever.

this dorama is just over the top!! luurve everything about it!! stellar performances from its cast (makes me go head over heels for DoTsuyo and wish i was as nice as Hirosue..)
an exceptional drama nonetheless and recommended to everyone!!

Intricate and interesting events based on a solid storyline. Unexpected ending which made drama's impact very punctuated. Great performance for the whole cast especially Tsuyoshi Domoto. Deals with issues of responsiblity, love, and tragedy. Highly recommended.

This is the #1 GREATEST show I have watched. Its so heart-breaking that I still felt very blue when I woke up the next day and the scenes of them together circles my mind for the next few days. Classic. MUST watch. SUPERB!

Summer Snow is by far the best Japanese drama I've ever watched. I was so overwhelmed by Ryoko's character. Her looks and her acting were amazing (in my opinion). The storyline is smoothly weaved and an unexpected ending surprised me. Tsuyoshi was great in this drama, his funny character with his silly actions are greatly looked upon. I must have cried for God knows how many times.. a very VERY touching story, one that all should watch. Overall, I give a full 10 rating for Summer Snow.

37. Comments by rikastar [Rating: 10/10]
This series is extremely funny and extremely touching at the same time. At some point I realized I was crying at the end of every single episode, and it's the 'awww shucks this is wonderful' kind of crying. Tsuyoshi was awesome at being the funny big brother who puts his siblings welfare above his own. Oguri Shun was also excellent as the younger brother with a hearing problem and an inferiority complex. I hardly see Hirosue as a sweet and frail character and she was actually quite endearing in this series. My favourite Tsuyoshi drama.
38. Comments by yume [Rating: 8/10]
It has a lot of deep issues such as teen pregnancy, adult responsibility and death...but somehow, I feel that it didn't grab me in enough to care deeply for all the characters...until now. The first 5 episodes did very little to me, but now that I have continued to watch it, Summer Snow really is well done. Dohmoto made me laugh, but Hirosue's character is perpetually doing really stupid crap or whining. The ending might be expected for some people...

Truly one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen in my life, fictional or otherwise. I have truly been moved beyond words.

Many of the topics in Summer Snow are very familiar for me. I truly identify with Yuki's emotions, and the portrayal of Jun.. if I didn't know better I would have thought he was actually hard of hearing!

The First That Started It All
76. Comments by CtrlV [Rating: 10/10]
Ahh, summer snow. There are so many things to this drama that make it heartwarming, and you feel good after watching each episode. Only bad thing i could think of is the little girl. AAAH did anyone else think she was annoying looking at her cue cards so frequently while talking to the people with no expression whatsoever. her eyes just kept going back and forth from person to a space behind/to the side of the person while speaking one continuous sentence that it felt very unnatural. It doesnt bother me, its just very noticeable. One more thing - To the writer of this drama, the one that came up with that ending = pure genius, make more like this, best drama ending ive seen.

Each episode ended with an excitement to watch the next. Natsuo is a figure for being an idol, always so helpful, kind.. and also very naive. He had several mood swings in the drama which shows his good side of acting. His sillyness also makes the drama quite funny..

101. Comments by dannyboy [Rating: 10/10]
My favorite Japanese drama so far. Yuki (ryoko) captured my heart with her acting. Also the series gave me an insight that true love really conquers all. A person would give everything for the person he loves. Dohmoto really outdone himself.

One of the first dramas I have seen, looking back on it now.. it's a good drama just not as great as I thought back then. I'll still give it a 8.5 for a good story and a somewhat unpredictable ending, also for Oguri Shun's brilliant performance as a half-deaf kid.. that was some brilliant work.

Straight up the ranks of my list of favourites to join Antique. One of the most charming points of this drama is that the main actors here are all youths!!! ANd you will definitely adore them. No one can possibly rate this drama anything less than 8/10. It transcends preferences and tastes!!! ( I am that sure!) Its super touching right from the start and Dohmoto really charmed the socks off me. Ryoko was absolutely sweet and I loved how this drama celebrates idiosyncracies and simplicity....superb!!!!.... oh..and Oguri Shun can really really melt ur heart.....(sigh)

Didn't think much of it at first, just so so, but made me cry so much afterwards because of the great ending ~>.<~ IMO the best ending to a drama that I've seen so far. I'll never forget the scene when Yuki was at first crying in the train, but soon she wipes away her tears and smiles as the ending theme "Natsu No Ousama" comes on (I hope it went like that, it's been a while... o_Oa).

A very nice & meaningful drama with lots of emotional moments and also humour.This drama brings a whole new meaning to a love story.On the down side,certain parts of the drama are predictable.However, they make up for it through their humour.This drama could leave you crying for hours even after the drama has already ended. ^_^ Recommended for all j-drama, Hirosue Ryoko and Dohmoto Tsuyoshi fans !! ^_~

The Best I've Ever Seen. It's the second show that made me teary (I've never cried to a show before) The first was Kamisama mou sukoshi dake. But i think Summer Snow is even better. The storyline is simply perfect although i predicted the ending when i see the accident.

Fine acting by Dohmoto Tsuyoshi. This show is a major tear-jerker... :s It's tough being an orphan and a big brother role model to 2 siblings.

SUGOI!!! this is the first time i've watched Dohmoto Tsuyoshi act and now i'm in love with the kinki kids (^o^) The ending was so sad I cant stop crying. I even cried while watching it. Ryoko Hirosue sugoi as always and Tsubasa Imai KAWAII.. all and all its a great dorama.

This love story about a young guy who's running a bike shop & taking care of his younger siblings turned out to be much better than I expected. And to me the ending came as a total surprise. A sad & funny drama with a nice themesong.

This drama was so believable in almost every aspect. Not to mention the somewhat unexpected uneding. I simply loved it and all the characters in it. For some reason, I was really touched in the part where Hiroto decides to face his parents and tries to gain their approval.
This was actually the first drama I watched. And seriously, I was really half-believing it was real. Very good, what more can I say.

This is a emotional drama and funny at some parts because of the help of kinki kids Doumoto san and Hirosei Ryouko. This couple was a good one that I really adored and cried through some scences of whats happening to there relationship. This is recommended because of the great acting and story it brings.
191. Comments by godai-san [Rating: 10/10]
First dorama that brought a tear to my eye. Heartwarming story about a woman suffering from a heart ailment & a bike-shop owner taking care of his younger brother and sister. The ending was so sad but I had to watch it several times because it was THAT good. Good soundtrack; never thought I'd hear Zamfir in a j-dorama.
192. Comments by Tu_triky [Rating: 10/10]
Extremely heartfelt, dramatic acting in this one. Ryoko Hirosue's character, Yuki, is unbelievably sweet and feminine. It's simply amazing! Makes you fall in love instantly! Prepare to choke back the tears in this one. It gets pretty heavy, man. One of the best dramas I've seen.
193. Comments by Glarie [Rating: 10/10]

Perhaps less sensationalistic situations than other dramas, the performances from every cast member sell the show, especially Ikewaki Chizuru's Chika.

I absolutely LOVED Dohmoto Tsuyoshi in this drama and it proved what a talented actor he was! However, I find some of the concepts of the drama a bit unoriginal and unecessary. If Dohmoto Tsuyoshi didn't do such a good job, I would've given this drama a '5' or something waaay lower. This drama is over-rated in my opinion, but serves as a "good waste of time" to say the least.

Goodness...I watched 3 episodes of this drama in one morning. That's how much it hooked me. Very nice beginning... Oguri Shun was unbelievable.

i don't really know why i bought and watched this dorama right after i watched the controversial and much commented (at least in this website) 'moto kare' starring none other than both the leading actors here.but i guess i was trying to find out more of both actors' previous works, just as a comparison of what i've seen in 'motto kare'.i'm used with hirosue ryoko's works for so long that i'm ready to take risks with any of her doramas.she's adorable and yes, i'm a fan of her especially in 'shotgun marriage'.but my interest here was more of her chemistry with dohmoto tsuyoshi, just as a fun look out. so i figured the best way to do that was watch their previous 3 years collaboration.mm...judging this dorama with my considerably wide experiences in jdorama world, i don't really think that this dorama is any good. same old script, same old typical characters, same old issues and what bother me the most was same old typical good guy dohmoto tsuyoshi. yess, i have problems with him since hundreds years ago.i don't really know why but he's just not my ideal kind of hero.he can be cute sometimes but he's just not the right person to play my type of hero. it's got nothing to do with looks but the main issue here is his lack of certain acting skills.-charming and captivating..yess,that's what i'm talking about.he's funny,there's no doubt about that but he keeps on playing his typical acting, no growth for the past decade.kind of amusing actually how he manages to be credited for his acting while i here can't even see what's so good about his performances.enuff said about him.and hirosue's performance here kind of cracked my nerves for her.she's a talented actress but she too keeps on playing the same old good-girl or kawaii girl characters.it is expected and i find it kind of boring sometimes.maybe she should try to develope her character somehow more interesting rather than gentle,kawaisou dying yuki.just show a little bit more of growth and maturity (she's a working adult after all in this dorama) and inner strength or even some girl power.that way i could really credit her for making this it's-pissing-me-off dorama much more enjoyable.

One of the most touching series ever. With Dohmoto Tsuyoshi and Ryoko Hirosue as inspiring leads and a great side cast consisting of Isumi Chizuru, Oguri Shun, and Imai Tsubasa, "Summer Snow" comes out with a few of the most memorable characters ever in a JDorama. I found myself liking all of them so much. The plotline is incredibly heartwarming and moved at a comfortable pace. The theme music "Summer Snow" becomes even haunting at times. It was absolutely beautiful, especially how they filmed the ending. One of those series that I wouldn't mind watching over again (along with my box of tissues handy).

I cried so much when I watched the ending I had to watch it twice. Very unexpected, and you wanna scream 'NO!'. Natsuo was a really great charecter, I'd love to have him as my brother. Not the hottest of guys.. but the charecter's personality made you love him. Ryoko was just so cute... Oguri Shun really fooled me with his deaf performance. Cute too. ^_~

Tsuyoshi acting range is increadible, making me rooting for him in bringing Natsuo to life as a simple,quirky young man but full of charisma. I'm also very proud with Ryoko performance. But this is definately tsuyoshi's dorama. Absolutely didn't expect to cry.

Dohmoto Tsuyoshi has stolen my heart. It's true that this series will have you crying by the end. It's so bitter-sweet. However, I truly enjoyed it. It was also very funny and cute! I just wish I hadn't stumbled upon a spoiler here at J-Dorama regarding the outcome of the series, because when I made it to the final episode I knew almost immedietly exactly what was going to happen. As such, I cried through the entire episode! Even if it's cheesy sometimes, and even if it might make you feel a bit depressed... DEFINETLY check out Summer Snow!
278. Comments by yamete_evie [Rating: 8/10]
Tsuyoshi was brilliant and loveable, Ryoko chan was sweet, Tsubasa & Shun were great, & the girl who played Chika chan was cute. This story was funny, entertaining and touching. I was unhappy with the ending though, because I felt it was a nasty trick to play on people who had been investing in a built-up happy ending.

Damn this story...so damned Emo. Tear jerky (hate to say it, but couldn't stop tears from falling for 5mins or so). 1st time seeing Dohmoto Tsuyoshi, Hirosue Ryoko, & Oguri Shun. All acted out their characters real well. Ikewaki Chizuru (Chika) played such a Cute Little Sister Act. =D Overall, they emitted a tight bond within the family and made it enjoyable all the way.

Excellent! Even though I knew the ending before watching ( ;_; sad...). I loved the characters, especially Natsuo, Yuki, Jun, Chika, and Hiroto! ^_^ Out of all the dramas I've seen, I'd recommend this one the most! It's unlike any of the others I've seen.

Rather predictable, but the acting by the siblings (Doumoto, Oguri, and Ikewaki), was great.

I really really like this series...this is my TOP 1 Dorama...I liked everything about it ;)
302. Comments by lazy_bum [Rating: 6/10]
watched it 2x... the actors were really great and they were so moving.. the series has a lot of morals that one can learn from.. both funny and sad at the same time.. and really makes you mad a little with how weird the ending was.. it's as if toward the end of the story, the writers decided to make things move fast that it lost it's sense of reality... (it could have had a better/more tragic ending)

A very light-hearted drama about family relationship and a pure romantic relationship between the brother and the girl. It was touching. I can't believe the ending though.

Stunning ending but powerful. However, a little too "convenient" for my taste. But it surprised me, so kudos for that. Ryoko and Tsuyoshi really shine in this drama. Highly recommended. Nice soundtrack too.

One of Ryoko's best dorama performances. Oguri Shun acted really well too. I think he's an up and comer.

Excellent drama. 'though i aint the cryin' type, it gave me goosebumps 'specially the last few episodes -- d@rn that Summer Snow song! LOL. Ending's kinda' predictable once you get halfway through the last episode. Great acting by the cast.. the male cast that is -- Dohmoto Tsuyoshi was hilarious; he's a natural on the acting department. Oguri Shun -- whatta' looker! Excellent acting as well. Tsubasa Imai -- loved him here! wahaha! seeing Hiroto cower with fear and apologizing like hell to Natsuo cracked me up big time! Hirosue Ryoko -- erhm, all Yuki ever did here was act strong, cling on Natsuo and smile a lot. Bwahaha.

Heartfelting...must see! There were a lot of events and people in this drama that I could relate to or know in real life. Usually, my bf and I are the types who can sit through a sad movie and not cry, but we got really teary-eyed in the final episode even when we knew (and predicted long ago) what was going to happen! I guess it's because Natsuo and Yuki's characters are so endearing.

Hirosue Ryoko and Dohmoto Tsuyoshi were the perfect choice for Summer Snow, an unforgettably moving jdorama. Shun, Tsubasa and Chizuru round off a strong supporting cast. Hats off for a very unique ending to a touching story.
344. Comments by Anees [Rating: 10/10]
Best drama ever! There has never been a more perfect ending to a story, ever. Watch it and give it more votes! It deserves to be number one! It's okay if GTO has move votes, but let's keep it at number two at least! Gokusen is catching up... Gokusen is really good, but Summer Snow is the best!

Summer Snow is an unexpected gem. I was putting off watching this dorama for a long, long time until I've finished off some others. I saw the first couple of episodes which seemed slow. But when I finally got down to watching the rest of the dorama, it got me completed hooked. I felt involved and engrossed in the situations all the characters were in, and I laughed and teared up with them. Dohmoto Tsuyoshi acted as the caring, comical and big hearted elder brother to perfection. It was his strength and spirit that inspired and guided his siblings and those who got to know him. What a great memorable character. Oguri Shun played the semi-deaf brother very well. The rest of the supporting cast also performed well, and their characters are authentic and relatable. There is not a false note in their performances, that is why Summer Snow is very memorable to me. It is a simple but moving tale about life, values and love. The soundtrack is very fitting and beautiful.

This had the best cast up to date. It has the very talented Domoto Tsuyoshi, the sweet and gorgeous Hirosue Ryoko, the cute Tsubasa, and the ever loveable Oguri Shun. I didn't know what to expect when I started watching but this drama has turned into the most beautiful plot line I've ever watched. HIGHLY recommended.

watched this dramas after taking an interest in oguri shun *grins*. and of course, oguri shun did magic in his role as the half-deaf brother. really convincing and lovable. the story itself is ok, decent drama, but sob-stories were never my cup of tea.

It was so funny and interesting, but it was sad at the same time. I can't believe the ending! Why???????! Tsuyoshi did a really good job playing Natsuo, and Oguri Shun did an awesome job as Jun! xD I must have been hard to talk like that all the time. o.O
Yuki's actress also did a good job. xD It's a good drama~~~

Top dorama, with all ingredients that make it a success: romance (Tsuyoshi Dohmoto & Ryoko Hirosue are both amazing), fun (light-hearted humour), action (fast-paced dorama), top-notch acting (again the 2 leads + an interesting acting of Shun Oguri), and lots of emotion in the last episodes. Intense, realistic and enjoyable dorama to the last episode.
383. Comments by Wisteria [Rating: 8/10]
A good drama with solid acting all round. It was definitely different seeing Tsuyoshi in this kind character, such a versatile actor. Hirosue Ryoko was very cute in this, playing a soft-spoken gentle girl, it suited her very well. And I must mention Oguri Shun, his portrayal of a hearing-impaired person was very well done. Even to a non-Japanese speaking person like myself I could tell that his speech was slightly off.

The story itself is very well written, the emotions and relationships between the characters feel very real. Sweet and touching, and the ending is sad, although a little predictable. But a little predictablility doesn't spoil the overall effect as you watch how it developes and the consequences of it. The last scene is very beautiful as well, beautifully shot.

I thought this was kinda touching. Shun acted sooo well as Jun, he really talked like one of those hearing impaired boys, with very low self-esteem and all... Ah, no wonder I like Shun soo much, ha! Besides, he looks really cute while wearing that Tradisional Japanese Suit (Sorry, I dunno what's it called)... But there's one thing I don't understand, is it that easy for someone to die?

393. Comments by CheeSauce [Rating: 5/10]
I thought this drama was really really really slow at the beginning. I also thought most of the characters were annoying. Like I wanted to hit Chika soooo many times and everything out of Seji's mouth was ridiculous. I also didn't like Natsuo or Yuki that much. Not to mention, I thought the ending was so predicable. I mean like two episodes beforehand I already knew what was going to happen.

However, despite all that, Oguri and Tsubasa's acting and storyline was so great. I was really into the drama during that part and I really felt for their characters. They really made the drama worth watching.

The ending was sweet even though it was predicable. So it was ok.

Good drama, nice heart warming series. The series is a little slow in the beginning but it does pick up. Domoto does show his terrific acting skills with his agitated goofy character and Shun! really does a great job acting as a hearing impaired person struggling in life. Personally I have difficulties understanding Hirosue Ryoko, but towards the end she becomes loveable.
The series deals with a lot of issues that are all realistic. The ways they try to solve their issues is interesting but maybe tsuyoshi's character is too agitated sometimes.

I had gotten this drama because Tsuyoshi was in it. It was another very good yet sad drama. Every scene Tsuyoshi was crying. I had cried along with him. The only thing I didn't like about the drama yet kind of liked was the end after Ryoko had her opperation and was healed. And the transplanted heart was Tsuyoshi's heart. In the end they were together. But I wish they didn't end up together that way.

Real sad story, I loved the Female lead, but the male lead just didn't click with me for some reason... He was kinda annoying.. :( good story tho 4 real!

Nice subtle pace. Pretty good cast. But in the end, it's just OKAY/AVERAGE.
A lot of drama themes in one drama. Not a bad thing.. but it feels like.. I've seen it before. Kinda predictable.

I like this dorama. It has a family trend to it. I also like how its very relaxing in a way. The acting is decent and its a good dorama. In short, its a decent dorama and has a warm sence to it.

Maybe I was stupid??? But I didn't expect anything to happen the way it did. I loved the drama but I hated the songs, basically the OST.

I was able to guess the ending from all the tiny clues they drop throughout the drama, actually... but nonetheless, this drama is a MUST WATCH. The whole casts did very well (especially Tsuyo) and the plot is wonderful. It's a very cute romance story, one of my favourites!

This was an interesting love story...lead by two strong leads, it seems to work for the most part, but falls short towards the end. Dohmoto and ryoko were excellent together, as were the cast including shun and the sister. I especially enjoyed the parts where dohmoto would just blabber on about this and that, and I though it added genuity to the storyline, that, let's be honest, is getting pretty tired...overall a good watch without being that exciting

Gave it a 10. The series was not exactly predictable, what with the surprising twists and all. The cast gave a very compelling performance, most notably Domoto Tsyuyoshi who was just plain great. I was pleasantly surprised by the other 2 actors as well--Imai Tsubasa and Oguri Shun. They managed a subtle, yet solid portrayal of a delinquent-turned-young-father and a hearing-impaired, sensitive younger brother respectively. Hirosue Ryoko lighted up the screen with her honest smile and frail demeanor and was just too beautiful for words. I sort of thought Tsuyoshi and Ryoko don't make a good on-screen couple, but they did pull it off. The storyline was also good, well-thought of. It didn't drag unecessarily, and every element in the plot was resolved properly.

This drama is so beautiful... I gave it a 9 because of the ending which was... sad. And I am very proud of Oguri Shun's acting. I was wondering where did they find a guy that talked like that so naturally... turns out it was all acting.

Absolutely amazing

All the actors did a great job! I hadn't thought that I'd like Dohmoto Tsuyoshi that much, but as Natsuo he's just a character you have to love! Oguri Shun's just cute to see that young... *-* And for sure Hirosue Ryoko is just adorable! *___* It's such a cute, hearty, but also sad dorama...
454. Comments by Keru-chan [Rating: 8/10]
I really liked watching it. It's really toching, espacially in the end and it's an interesting story. I really liked that love story with Chika and her boyfriend, I always wanted to know how it's going on^^‹ Natsuo is also a really nice person. But I didn't like it, that Yuki was only thinking about herself, even if it's part of the story.

Hawww. Started off as nothing special, 7 point Dorama, got worse in the middle and then finally better to the end. The topic is pretty standard with a ill girl and a cheerful boy. Would have given 7p if there wasn't the ending. Regarding the ending, it was the most surprising and one of the most beautiful i've ever seen. Just don't read spoilers and let it surprise you. The theme song is the second most unfitting i've ever heard.

466. Comments by summershine [Rating: 10/10]
This is an incredibly enjoyable drama to watch. The acting is absolutely amazing from the entire cast, though the one problem I had was with the main female lead, and that was not even with her acting, if was simply with her always happy, always cheerful (unless crying) character who NEVER got angry, or joked, or did anything besides being polite, nice, and crying. But that just me - I thought the best cast members were Ikewaki as Chika and Dohmoto as Natsuo - their brother/sister relationship went through a lot of hurdles, but it was extremely sastifying to watch. Extremely well-acted, well thought out play. 9/10 - I want more anger out of the female lead! (Those who have watched should know why.)

I predicted the ending as a sort of cruel joke and was pissed when it turned out I was actually right. Bah! That's why I'm giving it a 7 instead of the 9 I originally intended. I enjoyed this drama until about the last episode or so, especially Domoto Tsuyoshi's portrayal of Natsuo.

475. Comments by BijinDatta [Rating: 7/10]
This is your typical Japanese romantic story with an illness thrown in. I have literally cried at some point in much of the dramas I have watched and maybe it's because I'm simply exhausted with the same similar plot line - but Summer Snow does not do the most effective job of portraying the romance between Natsuo and Yuki. Yuki's performance also got quite irritating at times, but she did play the disabled semi-hopeless female alright. Overall I think this drama is a nice one but not the masterpiece many people tout it to be. Instead I'd recommend the excellent and emotional performances in Beautiful Life and even in Orange Days, both of which have similar plot lines and characters.

Acting skills were great.....The storyline is pretty interesting, ...but sometimes I was bored. So it isn't the best drama, therefore it just get a 7.
I didn't get a feeling of dreaming while watching it...which I get in other dramas.
But the end surprised me, it was a pretty good ending, I like it!! It is a really good solution, also very real and touching.

I was expecting a lot from this drama because already at the first episode I was crying, but it kinda bored me actually. I really liked the stories of Jun and Chika and Hiroto but not so much Natsuo and Yuki, which is kinda sad since they are the main characters in the drama. xD Maybe I dont like it because I watched it with bad quality, but well...

Actually I did not find this drama touching. When I watched it years back, I feel that the chemistry between Tsuyoshi and Ryoko is lacking. The ending may be a big twist but it feels so sudden. Abrupt is a better word i suppose. It feels like the scriptwriter got bored and wanted to end it fast.

Very entertaining because of the nice flow in conversations. Spectacular acting by most leading characters. Especially by the two main characters. Also a plus for not using their past, their passed away parents, as an excuse for anything. Not delving into that at all was only positive, since there are too many of those already. Some incidents/characters felt a bit fake or out of place though. I'm particularly thinking of the young policedetective and the police station chief, but fortunately they don't affect the drama much. The good things like the messages and general feelings still gets acrossed, and those aren't fake. That's the most important part. Overall a very entertaining and quite touching with a great ending.

very good dorama indeed. it really is a tearjerker though, so fair warning for that. i think all the people were cast pretty well and the story moves fairly fast. there's some unexpected events that come up that really make things interesting as well. i don't want to spoil too much.. great acting for a great dorama is all i want to say! oguri shun was particularly good, this was his second starring role.

This story has alot of interesting elements: family problems, triangle relationship and literally a heart-breaking discease. I've enjoyed this drama from the beginning till the end but I must say that especially the beginning and the end have a major shock-effect on the spectator. Again a very emotional drama with an ending that is pretty typical to Japanese doramas. Must see to anyone !

strong cast, esp the male lead and 'chika'. ryoko hirosue also played her role well. the ending would have been less predictable had it not been for all the spoiler comments you find here. the ending theme song is one of the worst though, not because it's a horrible song (i quite liked it) but because the way the song starts really destroys the mood of the show. apart from that, this show is quite sweet and touching. not that much of a tear jerker.

COMPLETE. brilliant. when it comes to popular drama, or top-rated drama, and I'm one of a late viewer I usually have some sort of resistance towards that drama; (look at HYD, Long Vacation, beautiful life etc which has very LARGE fanbase and which I personally think as overrated), but this one seems to blow up that resistance. I'm completely in love with the drama, the r/ship between tsuyo's character and his siblings are very heartfelt... the minor as well as major scenes are wonderful!.

This is a decently good series. I actually like the side characters more than the main characters. It is a pretty good watch, though I am not a fan of the ending (not a bad ending for the series, just not the one I wanted). I would recommend giving it a try, but if you don't like it don't finish it. I liked watching it once but definitely won't be giving it a repeat.

Worth watching. A good series overall, but it totally fell apart in the last episode, IMO. Also, I found the summary and title misleading. I was expecting angst, but was pleasantly surprised by the slice-of-life, upbeat and sweet feelings. Oguri Shun's acting pwned, to state the obvious, and the two leads were excellent as well.

The lead in this drama was fantastic! He may not have traditional looks but he has charm that exceeds many good-looking actors. He was funny and I'm sad there aren't many dramas that he is starring in. The story was inspirational, the ending was tear-jerking. Love is such a powerful thing, it had me tugging on my heartstrings. I don't feel this intense love plot in many recent dramas unfortunately

Natsuo(Dohmoto Tsuyoshi) was really a funny character, he made me laugh a lot of times, Jun(Oguri Shun) and Yuki(Hirosue Ryoko) were two very good dramatic characters; they made me care about the two of them.
And the ending was awesome, great build up and shocking ending, e bet no one predicted something like that during the dorama.
Anyway itLs a must see to everyone.

This is my first Tsuyoshi drama & definitely not my last. I was really impressed with the chemistry between Tsuyoshi & Ryoko.

....

Don't watch it unless you know what you are getting yourself into.

And if you watch it and then tell people you didn't cry at the end I know you are lying.

One of the most touching doramas. Also, Hirosue Ryoko was so very cute in this :)
80. michiru3
Both Tsuyoshi and Ryoko was great here. Oguri Shun is great too, so glad he's got a bigger role than he did in GTO. And he's growing up so nicely! Sooo tall and cute too! Imai Tsubasa adds another bishonen to the beautiful cast, great comic moments too. The best bad boy, haha

110. Baka Senpai
ONE OF THE BEST DRAMAS i've ever seen...certain drama moments/parts i will never get sick of...
Tsuyoshi lead the way with his fine acting...Ryoko did an excellent job as the weak, kind-hearted, cutie...add well supporting cast, magical title "natsuo yuki", fairly paced storyline and you have a fantastic dorama...crazy mixture of sweetness and sad bitterness...you'll end up not knowin how to feel...sugee
111. BT907
112. arashilove
Natsuo: "We live each day without thinking about it, but life isn't something that everyone can have. It's the most precious thing in the world."
113. FaBiAn
Very good storyline
114. bakafool
Damn wicked!!! This drama almost made me cry, so you know it's gotta be good. Great performances by all the characters. The acting was natural, especially for Ikewaki Chizuru who played Chika. Dohmoto Tsuyoshi was great and what more can I say about Ryoko Hirosue? Great twist at the end too. Go watch it!
115. Maranello
One of my favourite Jdrama.

This began as a simple story: a young man raising both his younger brother and sister who falls in love with a woman who works at a bank. As the series progresses, certain familial/relationship/health problems are raised and questioned. What makes this series one of the best is the emotion and sincerity on the actors and actresses' parts. By the end of the series, I found myself so engrossed with the people and their situations. Certainly, this drama produced one of the most memorable and lovable characters ever. Natsuo and Yuki.
176. ayabshue
the best jdorama ever!
177. jae-e
first drama and only drama so far I've seen with Hirosue Ryoko but I've become an instant fan ^_^ she is so cute and innocent and not to mention caring. Hirosue Ryoko and Dohmoto Tsuyoshi work well together. Great storyline, very sad, Prepare lots of tissues
178. Tu_triky
Very heartfelt dramatic show. Ryoko Hirosue's character "Yuki" is unbelievably sweet. A woman literally to die for. Her character and acting will cause you to emphatize deeply. Supporting cast is great here, too but Ryoko Hirosue is definitely the star of the show. In this show, Yuki is an amazingly beautiful person, both in and out. I loved it!
179. johuth
See my review for it!!

Truly a great drama. Not only does the main story between Natsuo and Yuki draw you in, but all the sub-plots also succeed in doing so. This is a well-rounded drama: 11 episodes of laughs and tears.

219. saya317
I just love Natsuo's character! At the end, more than Yuki, it was Natsuo that tugged at my heart. Very touching and funny(thanx to Natsuo); and the ending was somewhat predictable for me but still beautiful.
220. thomas.k
Summer Snow it's a Hyper dramatic drama, it's almost impossible to not cry in this one, beautiful story, touching.

230. V(~^____^~)S
omg this drama is so amazing. it's my fave. japanese drama ever. the story is wonderful, and the actors are all so great. at the beginning I had my doubts about Tsubasa's acting skills buut now i'm convinced that he has the talent.

Oguri Shun was outstanding in this, he should've gotten an award. His portrayal of a deaf boy was so realistic that if I hadn't seen him in other shows, I wouldn't actually thought he had a hearing problem.

The ending is soooo totally unexpected and sad. get some tissues ready *sniff*

everybody's favourite
237. eosforo
Made me wonder how possibly we are able even to love the loving itself. A must-see indeed. Although people tended to not rate so high the same couple in Moto Kare, I'm still fond of them on this last too. Summer Snow is really something go be in love about. Damn, I cried! ^___^~ Hpe you enjoy it too... Hirosue is indeed a great actress. Tsuyoshi, well just like said before, I've started watched Moto Kare first ( still ) and then watched Summer Snow at once. He's such a good actor I could believe they were the same person! Needed to check. E verything works smoothly...
238. yoh94
very good acting by dohmoto , the story is great
239. killy-kun
This drama is really beautiful.
Very sad, but yet so nice and deep ...
240. bigfire
My absolute favorite drama! It doesn't get any better!
241. Ashmarina
So real... I had alot of contemplations after wathing this story. It reminds me of how ungrateful I was. Sometimes I forget just how lucky I am to be alive, be able to love and to be loved while there are so many 'unfortunate' people out there struggling so hard just to be alive. For those who has to take the hard path, please don't give up the hope.
Overall, this is a must seen movie... excellent script, great performers, wonderfull soundtracks, and it surely will humanize you... a rarely seen quality nowadays.
242. yo-chan
I cannot stop crying.. this is such a good dorama! just watch it and prepare tissues especially for the last 2 episodes

A heart-warming drama ! It's definitely worth watching.
343. mangifera
love it so much.
344. summershine
The best drama I've seen. Incredibly inspirational, and while the main female lead was slightly lacking (in my opinion), the main male lead and the lady playing his sister were absolutely fantastic.
345. phoenix278
So far, one of the best dramas I've seen!
346. montanaky
tsuyoshi n shun oguri, with a touching storyline, one of my all time faves too ^^

I cry and cry watching this drama. Wonder how Yuki feels now. Lonely without anyone..
354. uhno
I love this drama! A really great drama, that touches really important issues. Dohmoto Tsuyoshi and Hirosue Ryoko have the greatest chemistry. They make an awesome pair! - Now everyone, don't forget to fill out your organ donating cards.

361. uchi23
a different jdorama from all the ones i seen so far.. actually felt like it was korean because i ended up bein sad n teary eyed.. a very good drama though with great performances from all its actors.. a drama that really makes you think abou life and how many times we dont take things seriously.. because there are those dat dont appreciate livin not realizin dat its a blessin that not every1 can have.. a very movin drama dat teaches you lessons abou life =]

One of my all time favorites. Sad but HEARTwarming. Ryoko Hirosue just shines in the drama.

377. IchibanB
Summer Snow is one of my all time favorite J-Dramas. I love all the characters, and the love story between Tsuyoshi and Ryoko is really well done. I didn't really like the way it ended, but it didn't take away from the experience. I really loved Ryoko's character in this. She's my ideal woman.
378. alesan
very touching
379. mafil
this tearjerker series is really good....... with its pretty simple storyline, and all those characters, makes this series awesome.......

381. zileas
382. hayya
kinda love it!
383. jekert
one of the most dramatic dorama i've seen. i'm not totally into dramas where you get a heavy heart after watching but this one was okay. i just wanted to sleep right after i finished this just to get the load off my chest. lol.
384. giggle weed
Best drama ever!

388. Shareholdersequity1
Good story, cast stepped it up a notch.
389. Tukata
one of the best and inspiring dramas.. with impressive cast especially great acting from Dohmoto !
390. potser123
the story is really nice, it teaches many different aspects about life, this is one of my favorite dramas ^^
391. Saito.Sama
One of the best dramas I've ever seen. The compelling story of each of the characters kept me yearning for more. The love of Natsuo for others and his will to overcome really made the drama. Tsuyoshi does a great job acting.
392. kaitosan20
this dorama made me cry so much.
393. Erinacchi
Touching drama.
Made me cry.
394. cuteice_06
it's nice,..
395. pinkokoro
brilliant. when it comes to popular drama, or top-rated drama, and I'm one of a late viewer I usually have some sort of resistance towards that drama; (look at HYD, Long Vacation, beautiful life etc which has very LARGE fanbase and which I personally think as overrated), but this one seems to blow up that resistance. I'm completely in love with the drama, the r/ship between tsuyo's character and his siblings are very heartfelt... the minor as well as major scenes are wonderful!.
