Bitter-sweet story of Aya and her relationship with 2 estranged brothers. Very captivating indeed. Worth buying. And I missed the FIRST EPISODE for 3 times!! Gracious!

This has gotta' be the saddest drama after Shiroi Kage. I'm truly touched by this drama. The whole plot is so convincing and Noriko Sakai's performance is absolutely convincing enough as the deaf-and-mute Aya. Music is wonderful as well. Though I don't know the meaning of the lyrics, I feel that it must be something really meaningful. Sometimes I wonder, are all Japanese dramas so meaningful and heart captivating? ^_^ Thumbs up for this drama...I love it! |

I usually don't like sad dramas, but I was intrigued with Yutaka Takenouchi's acting and the sign language in this drama!!^_^ And, I ended up liking it so much!! Esp. Yutaka's character, Takumi!! =P

This is so so sad. we often joke with my siblings that Aya (Noripi) is the queen of adversity in this ^0^. Dispite it's sadness and sometimes infuriating charecters (like the girl who goes after shuichi) It was a great watch. Just really really sad. I liked the ending. She shouldda ended up with Takumi I thought. I really realyy wish they had not made a part 2. But watch this one huh? |

Best takenouchi drama. The plot is just complicated enough to get you moving. Beautiful story line and moving character development. |

For you who like tragedy dramas to weep buckets on, stop your search! This is the one of best tear-jerker drama ever written. The cast is well-known for their strong acting. Just watch how Noriko makes Aya's sign-language look so tragically beautiful and you'll start wiping your eyes already. Plus great theme songs and melodious soundtrack to add to the sad atmostphere! Great cast chemistry and great performances. That why this series became a classic. And Noriko has to learn sigh language first! This show will keep you around for every epidsode until the end. And you would want to see more…. |

A love story and sibling rivalry. Beautiful story about a mute girl but too slow. |

to be honest i likes shin.hoshi no kinka better.. at least it had an ending i liked.. but this was good because as the show goes on.. you'll like the main actor more and more.. and pity sakai noriko so much.. |

The first JDorama I watched and started falling into JDorama. The story is so touching and I like it more, compared with Hoshi no kinka 2. |
| 30. | Comments by ryce [Rating: 8/10]
Watched this many many back... A major tear-jerker... Still prefer part 1 & 2 over part 3. Very moving music score... Juz pulls at your heartstings... Noriko Sakai played the part very well. |

I love just 'bout every single actor in there. x] Noriko is such a wonderful actor and her singing isn't bad either. ^^ Love the whole plot ^O^ Probably one of the best I've seen <3 |

love the story~ |
| 37. | Comments by kaonashi [Rating: 9/10]
An American style soap opera full of intrigues, betrayals & unexpected turns. If this overly melodramatic plot was to be characteristic for a J-drama in general, then I would certainly not be a fan. But since it's more of an exception, I felt it was nice for a change & got addicted to it. Terrific show & I even liked the disputed ending. 9- |

love it! very emotional...the main characters were incredible...love everything ^_^ |

it was very unpredictable and shocking. i really liked yutakas performance. highly recommended!! |
| 40. | Comments by Danji [Rating: 6/10]
Better than your average show, HK1 is on my list as 'not bad'. However, though the characters drew me in, the story is a little harder to get along with. I am still looking forward to HK2. |
| 41. | Comments by enen_shun [Rating: 9/10]
this drama indeed made me cry & cry all da way ! Aya (Noriko Sakai) is really a very brave character !! she's so pure and gentle !!! all the casts are perfect ~ great casts , great storyline , great director ... what else can u ask for ?! if u enjoy watching shows which moved & touched u ~ u must really watch this show !!!!! |
| 42. | Comments by moonchyld [Rating: 10/10]
*drool* this has got to be THE best drama!!! (well at least for me it is V^^V).. it actually made me wanna learn sign lang. hehehe... i really fell in love with noriko here, and she's been my fave Japanese actress since. now THAT'S what i call great acting! ^-^ |
| 43. | Comments by eltinator [Rating: 10/10]
Started off a bit slow but really picked up quickly. Sakai Noriko, Osawa Takao, and Takenouchi Yutaka all delivered stellar performances. The supporting cast was great the whole way as well. It's no wonder why this drama received ratings into the 30% viewership. Definately a classic for the ages! |
| 44. | Comments by fahsum [Rating: 9/10]
It was so good there's even sequels. |

This was the show that got me hooked onto Japanese drama and Japanese culture. |
| 46. | Comments by tk_iva [Rating: 9/10]
a grat show that every Jdrama fans should watch... an unforgetable storyline... |
| 47. | Comments by donna8157 [Rating: 8/10]
It's a fun/soap-opera style drama to watch. The main three actors and actresses did wonderfully portraying their characters and at times I found myself completely drawn into the story. There was so much emotion that I'm sure anyone who watches this will feel something for Aya played by Noriko Sakai or any of the other characters.
My favorite male lead was none other than Takenouchi Yutaka. His character change leading towards the end of the series was touching and believable. Some parts of this series may seem a little overbearing/far-fetched, but it was still a pleasure to sit through. I recommend this one if you're a fan of romance/angst series, such as "Autumn Tale" (KDrama). |
| 48. | Comments by mochi [Rating: ?/10]
this is the saddest show ever |
| 49. | Comments by Taurmindo [Rating: 8/10]
for not being 'able' to speak during the whole series, sakai noriko manages to do outstanding acting using all her other elements. a sad story with convincing acting, a little to easy to forseen somethimes, but alltimes good. |
| 50. | Comments by Kam [Rating: 9/10]
Often contrived and unintentionally silly, but always moving! I adore Noriko Sakai in this, and Yutaka Takenouchi's character is just way too much fun. |
| 51. | Comments by supermidget [Rating: 6/10]
[On DVD] Ok, first I shouted "don't watch it!", but now I got over the shock of the senseless ending, I might be able to give this series a better judgement. The story goes as follows: A man (Shuichi) and woman (Aya), who is mute and deaf, are working in a small clinic in Hokkaido. They're actually in love but haven't confessed their feelings yet. Shuichi has to go to Tokyo for business. Before he enters the plain, he promises Aya to get married but at Tokyo airport, he gets a terrible accident. When Shuichi doesn't return to Hokkaido, Aya goes after him, but discovers that Shuichi lost all his memory. The series is about the battle of Shuichi trying to regain his memory (and remembering his promise), and Aya to win Shuichi back.
Too bad. It won't happen. Sorry for spoiling, but this series is great until the last episode, where the makers just want to kill you by making the most horrible ending possible. |

One of my first J-doramas watched - a tearjerker that leaves such a deep impression. |

| 57. | Comments by GIGI [Rating: ?/10]
One of those doramas that I can't decide if I love or just like. And the most melodramatic as well. What's unbelievable is how the writers and director was able to squeeze all those twists in a short series. |

| 63. | Comments by owllo [Rating: 8/10]
I gave 8 coz of noriko Sakai. Don't like sad drama. Too stressful to watch. However, I like it better than part 2. it's has a more "brightful" ending than the 2nd part. |
| 64. | Comments by Aunty Coco [Rating: 9/10]
I was immediately attracted to Takenouchi Yutaka when I saw this show a long time ago.. Missed a few episodes here & there... So I bought the dvd recently & watch it all over again... Very touching... |
| 65. | Comments by aki_07 [Rating: 10/10]
Can't wait to watch the next episode each time one ends! Very touching, great cast with excellent acting. One of the best dramas during then. Nice soundtrack too. Better than its sequel. |
| 66. | Comments by heimu [Rating: 10/10]
My main reason for voting Noriko Sakai as my favourite actress. :) |
| 67. | Comments by Ushiroyubi [Rating: 10/10]
Just fantastic. Lots of fun... and the acting was terribly emotional and fitting even though the story was insanely dramatic from start to finish. That works once in a while. :) |
| 68. | Comments by lawsco [Rating: 9/10]
This is the one that got me hooked. Saw parts of it on TV and bought the DVD for this and part 2 at the same time (thank god) 60+ J-dramas later and I'm still watching and still hooked. Not many have been better than this one in my opinion. |
| 69. | Comments by athida [Rating: ?/10]
Watched it 10 years ago. Don't even remember much... Or was it the second one that I watched? |
| 70. | Comments by laramatsu [Rating: 7/10]
definitely a tearjerker and makes me want to learn sign language, which I already did really for a very short time because my room-mate's sister is deaf but lost it since there were no one to speak sign language with. Tsk, tsk |
| 71. | Comments by maxlovely [Rating: 9/10]
This is the best TV series i have ever seen. So romantic and sweet. I love Takumi Nagai the best |

| 73. | Comments by wanderingfish7 [Rating: 7/10]
One of the classics. I love Takenouchi Yutaka a lot. |
| 74. | Comments by Shindou [Rating: 9/10]
A wonderfully constructed dorama. Noriko Sakai's performance is exceptionally well done and each of the character's really made their presence felt on this dorama. The acting and storyline was first class and as was the OST. I would definitely not hesitate to recommend this dorama. |
| 75. | Comments by lucy_monostone [Rating: 4/10]
it's old i dun like the very heavy drama feeling into it |
| 76. | Comments by norz [Rating: 10/10]
First drama ive ever watched and got me hooked into dramas! the love triangle and the strange circumstancs make the drama very exciting to watch. You can really feel for the characters and they do excellent acting in this one! |

| 79. | Comments by kamikaze54 [Rating: 9/10]
Classic love story! I enjoy it but it got a bit out of control as the story progressed. It seems the drama couldn't decide on how it wanted to end. Too many twist and turns made it a bit frustrating. Maybe that is why there is a sequel. |
| 80. | Comments by kumaxell [Rating: 8/10]
Noriko convincingly protrayed a deaf person who fought against adversities. |
| 81. | Comments by sweetkisses7574 [Rating: 10/10]
SOO good!!! i really loved this drama. I swear i cried in every episode. Its just so almost painful to have to watch what she had to go threw. But it was really interesting to see alot of sign language. :) i liked this one alot |
| 82. | Comments by ume [Rating: 9/10]
This has got to be one of the best dramas ever....Noriko does a terrific job in here and the plot is very nicely paced. |
| 83. | Comments by eml132 [Rating: 8/10]
The first drama I've ever watched and planted the seed for my love of jdramas. Noriko Sakai shines in this heartfelt drama. |
| 84. | Comments by K|NK| [Rating: 10/10]
a sad touching show.. |
| 85. | Comments by kartanoman [Rating: 9/10]
Absolutely loved Noriko Sakai in this dorama! The number of plot twists bordered on the excessive; however, you were always held by the suspense whether Aya and Shuichi would finally be together ... only to learn that the cat and mouse game would continue into a season two. |
| 86. | Comments by bba1 [Rating: 10/10]

This is probably the most frustrating show I've ever watched. Sakai Noriko puts on the best performance from any actress in any drama I've seen but it's SO WASTED on this terribly cliche story. chesed sums it up quite well, I suggest you read his full review.
I guess the only good thing that came out of this whole ordeal is that I found another talented actress in a sea of mediocre ones. It's almost assured that you will fall in love with her talent and natural beauty if you watch this drama. |
| 92. | Comments by zhirong [Rating: 6/10]
One of the earliest Jdrama I watched. Maybe at that time I am too young to comprehend this drama. Bascially about Noriko Sakai as Aya, a deaf and mute girl. Pretty touching plot but once you've seen other touching drama, you'll feel that it's pretty average. |
| 93. | Comments by chinz [Rating: 7/10]
all i could remember is the drama is very draggy... =.= i think i like sakai for being so pitiful... esp in season 2. |
| 94. | Comments by Parishilton [Rating: 8/10]
Noriko is so sweet in this drama. Well done series. |
| 95. | Comments by JackClark [Rating: 10/10]
Nice sad drama. Noriko is brilliant. |
| 96. | Comments by rele [Rating: 4/10]
The main idea and story is captivating. Very good main actress and i was completely suck in after 1st episode. Heart warming at first...
---Spoiler alert----
Up to the 10th episode while this series had a bit too dramatical and useless side plots i considered this as a 9 series. But the last 2 episodes really spoiled this all. Murder?... Cheap and over dramatic cliche tricks... And the moral of this whole series is that lying suicidal woman in the end takes it all. By getting your self pregnant without discussing it first in that kind of relationship is completely immoral. If this series should have unhappy ending then killing one of the main characters would have been ok, but immoral ending that should make viewers to give their consent on is complete BS. |

One of the best drama I ever watched. Noriko and Yutaka acting here is the best among all their dramas Ive ever watched. An all time favorite drama for me. |
| 99. | Comments by xploring [Rating: ?/10]
Great performance from Noriko Sakai. This was compelling at the beginning when the story focussed on Aya, but after that ... I wanted to stop watching many times. The plot was ordinary, and I was not interested in the characters too (apart from Aya). Osawa Takao's role was particularly thankless. Stopped watching during episode 8, much of Aya's writing was not translated for this chinese-subbed version. |
