1. boring [Rating: 4/10]
way too slow towards the middle and didn't bother to watch it all.... oh well... looking forward to seeing kyoko fukada again in otoosan

Dark and full of tension in many scenes, but I love the theme-song and Kyoko's whining so much!

3. not interesting [Rating: 3/10]
this series is boring. not recommended. i like kyoko but i think it's wrong how she liked her teacher who was like 20 years older than her. i like the song though by utada hikaru.

5. weird.. [Rating: 6/10]
I was not expecting the ending to be that way.......it is just too weird.Basicly,i did not like the storyline and the actress who played Tomoko Esawa but I love the actor though ^^ .To me,majo no jouken is a better love story between a student and a teacher compared to this drama.

6. I HATE Ezawa Tomoko [Rating: 3/10]
Ezawa Tomoko is totally the reason that ruined this drama. i'm just now watching this for the very first time, and i find myself swearing at Tomoko whenever i see her. she's just WAY TOO CREEPY AND ANNOYING! such a biatch! errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. and thanx to this drama, i don't think i'll ever watch any drama with Wakui Emi in the future, even though i know it's just the character i don't like. but she just looks and acts too freaky. i HATE her character.
i rent the drama mainly for the reason that fukada kyoko's in it. i'm only on episode 4... still a long way to go. i'll just try to keep thinking that kyoko is in it.......
the lead male actor is kindda bad--acting- and look- wise. don't know why they picked him and Wakui

7. Good [Rating: 8/10]
At first I had trouble understanding Tomoko's motivation with getting involved with Nao, then it was obvious it was envy over her sister, etc.... Wakui Emi is a very good actress. She was the best character in this drama.

This is one drama where Fukada Kyoko's clueless acting comes to the fore: she looks like she doesn't have a brain in her head. But she pulls off a kind of carefree innocence that works.

Watabe Atsuro is one of my favs. He does good, though not an outstanding performance. The script does an odd reversals his occupations. One scene was a bit too melodramatic. Nao watches Kasumi walk away and the camera does a extreme close up while he forces tears out of his eyes. It was a bit too much considering years had passed since Kasumi and Nao began their relationship in high school.

It's a drama you can appreciate next to what gets made these days.

Stars Fukada Kyoko and Watabe Atsuro. Quite slow and dark. Fukada's sister Wakui Emi is engaged to Watabe Atsuro but Fukada still holds a strong candle for her high school teacher (i.e.Watabe)

too many slow scenes, somewhat boring.. i love watching my fav. actress kyoko fukada though but i dont wanna be biased. i guess i give it a 2 because the part when she found out her sister's fiance was her previous teacher/love, gives out a lil spice in their lives haha.
10. Comments by jo [Rating: 2/10]
Patterned after "Majo No Jouken", difference? It's vice versa, the teacher is male and the student is female. This drama is NOT recommended for everyone. Kyoko's sister(Wakui Emi) is a derange lunatic, she hates her adapted family because she thinks they don't love her. This simple stupid reason has set her to destroy her sisters' life and her family's reputation, she even tried to kill Watabe Atsuro and herself, I was telling myself, "what a moronic reason to become a crazy ass bitch. This has got to be the second worst drama, I have ever seen. Atsuro's acting is ridiculous, he just can't act, he can't keep his mannerisms off(note: his eyebrows was twitching all the time, he pretty much does this little annoying act to all his dramas). This is just really bad and ugly. Period. Buy it or watch it, it's up to you. You have been warned.

did not like this drama at all. first, that older sister is psycho. second, this drama had too much unrequited love for it to be any good for anybody.

Watabe reminded me of Kyoko's onitja in BL... this guy can act, surely, too bad he doesn't have the look. Fukada was cute.

My first Japanese soap. Enjoyed a different culture obviously, and Kyoko cute! But I heard a lot of negative comments about her acting from Japanese fans. The suicide attempts were sort of bothersome,
20. Comments by we!Rd^dUcK [Rating: 6/10]
just why kyoko like to play de same role again n again? just a simple love story dat got a triangle shape between a sisters n a man...

Fukada Kyoko will probably not act anymore..she should only be displayed for magazines or something.. too many random things happen to make the story longer..

Kyoko was really sweet in this drama. However, i don't think that the plot was quite right. The sister's thinking was completely twisted and too evil. Overall it was good.

I thought it was alright, good story line but the guy grossed me out to the point where I couldn't watch it. Watching him makes me think of him as a pedophile...and it creeps me out.

I'm surprised to see so many low ratings! It's a very suspenseful drama with a great acting by Wakui Emi. The conclusion is nice too: "it's better to be fat (fukada kyoko) than just ugly (Wakui Emi). Yeah, tht's great! The teacher looks like someone suffering from a down's syndrome!! he always moves his head... Anyway, a not so bad drama and a great one until the 9th episode!
