Synopsis

Nao Saeki is happy with her life. She has a great job as a stylist, and also has a very sincere and loving fiancé, Kazuya Yuki. But one day, her sister Miho gets caught up in an incident overseas in which she is tragically killed. The shock of Miho's sudden death causes her husband Mitsuhiko to lose his memory. As a result of all that has taken place, Nao has to look after Mitsuhiko and his son Yusuke. At first, Nao is just trying to help the two. But living together and watching Mitsuhiko try to start a new life plants the seeds of a "new emotion" within her heart. It doesn't take long for those feelings to turn into love.

What Nao doesn't know is that her colleague Chihiro Tomita has feelings for Kazuya, as her own feelings waver back and forth between her brother-in-law and fiancé. When Mitsuhiko's memory comes back, the realization that he has lost his wife is more than he can bear - causing him great anguish. Later, Kazuya finds out about Nao's feelings for Mitsuhiko, and is torn by jealousy. And as the story reaches its final stage, we learn the real reason behind Miho's death...

Tetusji is so romantic in this drama.....

A little of everything, but not enough of anything

Hiro Toyo · 2006

I am guessing this is one of those dramas that looked good on paper, that is, on script the idea sounded good enough, but unfortunately when produced, the result was quite different. The whole memory loss thing was just not convincing; perhaps it has been done to death by so many other dramas already. Also, every character in here seemed to do something that's totally out of their character. For example. Kato Ai isn't the type to sleep around, but does anyway. The lead girl seemed like the type with high integrity, but never for a second did she struggle with herself over the fact that she's falling for her brother in law.
Everything is so superficial in this drama, and so no wonder I didn't feel a thing throughout and even the kid ploy didn't quite work out.

I dunno...

i finished watching this dorama today and i honestly thought the story was annoying. the characters were kinda annoying as well... kato ai is always happy and smiling at it was annoying seeing her so sad and down all the time. tamayama kun is like my favorite actor... and even he got annoying. everything is quite predictable as well...
