one of kimutaku's memorable starrer. one of the most romantic dramas i've ever seen... too bad though i knew the ending to it cuz i've seen the pictures on a hk broadsheet and it definitely spoiled the whole drama for me! :( |

Very sad and touching, a very good dorama! and talk about a great soundtrack. It really touches me hearing that song (in piano mode) while watching that show!! |

I have to say that this drama has a very strong romance plot BUT it could be boring at times. Takuya Kimura and Tokiwa Takako do have chemistry together and I like this pairing good enough. The thing about this drama is that I find it quite slow-paced. Certain scenes are really emotional enough to make me cry buckets. Anyway, worth watching if you're a Takuya Kimura's fans! |

One of the best doramas ever. Great story, but very sad. |

It is not too bad though i found it to be a bit draggy in the middle.
The actors and actoresses did a good job though |
| 9. | Comments by jaycee [Rating: 10/10]
the first few episode wan funny... i had to stay up very late to watch it becuz the tv station shown it at 12 am and 12:30 am on saturday and sunday nights...
then when kimura and tokiwa fell in love, the story started to become more intensed and sad... the last 2 episodes i cried silently... so touching........ |

Love story between male hair dresser and a wheel chaired female librarian. not bad. |

1 of the first drama which got me hooked on.. guess i watched it over 4times.. |
| 14. | Comments by Eyrien* [Rating: 7/10]
Another KimuTaku classic that for some reason seemed to fall short in my opinion. Tokiwa Takako did a spectacular job, as usual, but KimuTaku's performance fell short. But, definetely still worth a watch. Have a kleenex box handy! |

Very touching story...Esp the ending!! |
| 16. | Comments by Namielove [Rating: 8/10]
This was a very enjoyable drama. Sad, but good. Tissues neccessary. Watch it, I doubt yo'll be dissapointed. |

One the the most touching drama. Although many people review it boring but I feel that this movie is very good. |

I like it. |
| 20. | Comments by piglet44 [Rating: 7/10]
A very good drama. Good performances by Tokiwa Takako & Kimura Takuya. Too bad for the sad ending. Otherwise it would have been perfect. |
| 21. | Comments by aranur [Rating: 9/10]
beautiful, touching but the ending is ... made me cry over and over again. |
| 22. | Comments by manutunia [Rating: 8/10]
actually very intersting story...
i will give it 10 but because of the sad ending...so just 8!!!
but still the best dorama!!! |
| 23. | Comments by pandora [Rating: 10/10]
Beautiful story, really loved this. Though i knew she would die in the end I was so weepy. Expected but nevertheless really touching and sad ending. A definite must watch. |
| 24. | Comments by eugeneyan [Rating: 9/10]
Sad romance... |
| 25. | Comments by Love Revolution [Rating: 10/10]
Really touching. KimuTaku's acting was really great! especially the last part when Kyoyo was dead. Tokiwa Takako was great too! Her crying skill really impressive! The songs were nice too! Buy the soundtrack if possible..it's nice! |
| 26. | Comments by jdfan [Rating: 10/10]
Natural-flowing dialogs and acting from the two leads and supporting roles help this drama to glide easily. It strikes as very life-real with lots of pause between dialogs, but even then there's no wasted moment. A deep blow for Kitagawa Eriko, the screen-writer. But not recommended for those who like happy dramas though. Beautiful Life has a gem of a soundtrack with a superb main theme by B'z and heart-breaking numbers by Mizoguchi Hajime, a well-known cellist, who also composed music for "Hoshi No Ginka /Heaven's Coin 1 & 2".Convincing job form Takako Tokiwa again. I adored the moving but sad ending. Kimura and Tokiwa were a great combination! I wish to see them in another one. |

So far, this is the best series I have had the pleasure of watching. Watched it unsubtitled the first time and I still cried, then I finally bought a copy with subtitles and I bawled like a baby. |
| 30. | Comments by krissblade [Rating: ?/10]
I really liked this drama. It is very touching and definitely pulls on your heart strings. This drama really made me think of what deep love is made out of. Strong characters. Also re-examines disabled people in Japanese society. |
| 31. | Comments by biga816 [Rating: 7/10]
Not as good as others said it was. |
| 32. | Comments by peeka [Rating: 8/10]
A very touching story with a sad ending. Tokiwa Takako and Takuya Kimura's character is very impressive. |
| 33. | Comments by majinbads [Rating: 6/10]
First dorama I ever watched. Beautiful couple. Serious drama. Not really my kind of drama. Got attracted to Takiko Tokiwa. |
| 34. | Comments by Halwafy [Rating: 8/10]
Takuya is flawless as usual..probably Takako Tokiwa's best performance...Good watch and expected sad ending. |
| 35. | Comments by esa [Rating: 10/10]
such a beautiful story, sad & bit touching espcially the last ending when she die! |
| 36. | Comments by amethyst [Rating: 6/10]
Deals with the society's view on hadicapped people. A beautiful love story that goes beyond lust. |
| 37. | Comments by dnie [Rating: 9/10]
a lot of praises given to this dorama. Perhaps the plot makes us appreciate life more than ever. It's not that I dont like it, it is just
i think the strength of this dorama lies within the characterization and Takuya and Takako's superb performances. It makes me think twice about the handicapped people and how they perceive the world. Another different perspective on life. |
| 38. | Comments by katfame [Rating: 10/10]
It's a sweet love story...I love the cast! Really moving.... |
| 39. | Comments by hsiuting2003 [Rating: 9/10]
I love it!! It was funny and touching...though the plot line is very predictable, but it doesn't matter to me because this is the type of story every teenage girl wants to see. I wish I have a guy who can love me like Shuji... |
| 40. | Comments by iluvhyde [Rating: 6/10]
Nice story. Nice actors/actress. However, the ending is quite too predictable~ Quite touching sometimes. Not bad. |
| 41. | Comments by 100aw [Rating: 7/10]
Very touching performances by both Kimu Taku and Tokiwa Takako. Too bad the ending was sad! |
| 42. | Comments by 4julls [Rating: 8/10]
touching but not so dramatic ... sometimes make you cry and laugh .. and can see the life in different way |
| 43. | Comments by yuubou [Rating: 10/10]
I cried almost every episode. |
| 44. | Comments by yuka [Rating: 9/10]
A well-paced romantic story that moved one to chuckle at the beginning, dreamy in between and at the end teary-eyed. The pull from the stellar performance of Kimura and Tokiwa (an excellent match) is forceful.
Keenly perceptive in their respective roles, both gave a powerfully subtle performance. He, the kakkoii hairstylist of an uptown, trendy salon and she, the plucky handicapped librarian, fell irresistibly in love.
Through the course of the plot each was shown to struggle with their own hang-ups and insecurities. Both taking tentative steps closer to one another leading to a strongly growing steadfast relationship. |
| 45. | Comments by DDT [Rating: 10/10]
Very good drama... a struggle of love to overcome obstacles of handicap and even death. Great acting by both male and female leads. Highly recommended!!!
Theme song very catchy as well!!! |

What a touching drama. The title is so suitable for this drama. Takuya Kimura and Takako Tokiwa deliver good performance. |
| 54. | Comments by oishi [Rating: 10/10]
makes me cry at the last episode for 10 mins. nice acting for Kimura and Kyoko. love them both |

My oh my...Such a beautiful story! I cried so much at the end. So touching! No regrets at all. |
| 56. | Comments by g_hunter1 [Rating: 9/10]
One of the best i've seen. In this drama you will always want to see things go right but end up being the opposite. A very sad drama that really hits the soul. I also like the ending theme song by one of my fav j-rock bands B'z. |
| 57. | Comments by InSearchOf [Rating: 10/10]
Great drama! |
| 58. | Comments by jo [Rating: 9/10]
Great, I love the story, I was not particularly fond of the first 5-6 episodes, but the last couple episdoes were emotionally captivating. Watch it and you will understand. 9/10. |
| 59. | Comments by Evilryu [Rating: 10/10]
So sad, but so touching.I love it! |
| 60. | Comments by rikastar [Rating: 7/10]
This is one of the few Kimura doramas that I don't like, I don't know why but I never truly got into the story. Yes, it was touching but somehow I just couldn't feel that Shuji did love Kyoko. It was also annoying how they popped in the story of the ex-girlfriend. I liked the supporting characters of the brother and Sachie way better. The fact that you know what happens to Kyoko right from the beginning casts a dark shadow over the entire drama. The opening theme by B'z + clip is really good. |
| 61. | Comments by Superpimp2g [Rating: 8/10]
I thought it was just allright, maybe a little overhyped. The main actress and supporting actress are excellent though. |
| 62. | Comments by yume [Rating: 10/10]
Beautiful Life grabs you in and makes you really a part of the characters' triumphs and pains. Especially in the third episode, I think. The story is well told, and there is good closure to everything in the end. I also can say that it never gets too sappy sweet or generically heart-tugging sad. It's a perfectly made drama. Hence the 10. |

| 67. | Comments by MilkyWay [Rating: 7/10]
Sometimes I was really pi**ed off because it seemed to me that Kyoko just wanted to be pitiful. But all in all it was a nice dorama though and when I saw the ending I cried liter of salty water XD (just like I always do...) |
| 68. | Comments by jade_sylvia [Rating: 10/10]
I enjoyed this drama very much. Although it may seem slow during some parts, I still think there are many funny and memorable scenes. I especially like the monologues and the music. Now whenever I eat pudding, I think of Shuji! |
| 69. | Comments by miakasan21 [Rating: 10/10]
All I have to say that is a really good drama...Kimura Takuya-san did an excellent job...all I have to say is that it is a really emotional drama...if you feel like having your emotions on an emotional rollercoaster then this is the drama for you. |

The best dorama I have ever seen. It has that magical feeling from start to finish. It is very sad, yet happy. I try to enjoy life to the fullest now. This was a very wonderful learning experience about love. |

well.. what a sad ending... but kimura look handsome at the anding.. waaa.. sugoi.. aaa like other japanese drama.. included this drama.. the movement's of the story still slow.. |
| 74. | Comments by matsu_takeiko [Rating: 9/10]
This was a really great, touching drama, but I just feel a little... off because I didn't cry at the end unlike most of the people who watched this did. But the acting was great; story's superb as always (Eriko Kitagawa is just amazing). The way the uneasiness of Takuya and Takako's relationship was depicted was amazing, how each one is too proud to ask the other how they really feel, or too proud to reveal their feelings to each other. There's a feel of realism to it (or maybe I can just relate hehe). |
| 75. | Comments by carie_akanishi [Rating: 8/10]
Another one of Takuya's classic, the one with the record breaking ratings.. |

I found this show to be a little over-rated... maybe coz i watched it with high expectations from strong recommendation by several friends... it was quite a tear-jerker at the end. |

Not the best nor the worst.... kinda expected something better than this (I bought the original one, yo!). And what's with Takuya's hair? Hairdresser? yeah rite. |

This story made a big impact in my life. It showed me varieties of attitudes from all sorts of people towards physically challenged individuals such as kyoko. Outstanding performance by Tokiwa Takako "Kyoko",acutally, outstanding would be an understatement. I was so touched. |
| 120. | Comments by Sou Catcher [Rating: 8/10]
Some parts were a bit confusing, but a very comical and enjoyable experiance altogether. The ending was not as lacrymous as I had expected but still it was an emotional one. |

The first episode got me going but subsequently i got sick of the whole handicap business. Takuya Kimura's character is portrayed as someone who doesn't discriminate or see her as anyone less, yet...the way the plot keeps harping on it makes it really contrived. |

The best dorama!
The story was so simple but so meaningful. When i saw this dorama, i just can say that the dorama was so good and perfect. Both Kimutaku and Tokiwa did a great job. The could show "something" between the two main character purely and deeply. Great acting i can say. The ending was so powerful to force the audience to see the scene. It really touched me. I love the white house and its setting in the end of the dorama. The ost by B'z (Konya Tsuki no Mieru Okani) also nice. It made the existence of this dorama and the story more and more. A must see for jdorama fan and off course Kimutaku and Tokiwa fans. Cheers for both of them!!!! Cheers for the writer!!!! |

It's a very cool serie , it's healthy and very psychological (all dramas are, but this one is even more)
It makes you re-consider the true value of life, though the last episodes are a bit harsh, some others a bit action-less and its end sad.
Nevertheless in the overall it's a very fine show ! |

An inspiring drama! Tokiwa Takako was convincing as a disabled person. Kimura Takuya's performance was memorable. The ending was tragic, but it fit perfectly well with the storyline, and left you with a great sense of fulfilment. A great message: live every day to the fullest because life is a gift, it doesn't last forever... |

very sad.. very touching... love takuta kimura.. he's just natural.. |
| 152. | Comments by subaruppi [Rating: 9/10]
I am honestly not biased. Kimura Takuya is an amazing actor...and this was another one of his shows that I thoroughly enjoyed. Tokiwa Takako was a good lead, albeit her acting was a little overdone at times....but ultimately, Kimura-kun always saved it. And the ending was what really got me. Excellent drama. |

This is one drama i can watch over and over agian and not get bored. I've watched it twice and it made me cry twice. Especially when he did the make up for her. Yes the story was a predictable one, I admit that but still....it was wonderful....WATCH IT WATCH IT!!! |

Wow... One of my favorites; very predictable but sad at the end. I've fallen in love with Tokiwa. |
| 158. | Comments by eltinator [Rating: 10/10]
Simply one of the best dramas out there! So happy yet so sad at the same time. I was glued to my seat during this drama. Amazing performances by Tokiwa Takako and Kimura Takuya |

A wonderfully poignant movie that teaches one about love, acceptance of others, and living life to its fullest. |
| 160. | Comments by Onyx [Rating: 8/10]
Tokiwa is really really cute in this dorama. Its one of those dorama which has a very emotional part in almost each episode. Either way it did made me think a lot, and it kept me interrested enough to make me watch as much eps in a row as i could. It all depends on what you expect, for this you should expect a nice but love story type drama about a girl in a wheelchair. If you can settle with that storytype, you'll probably love it as much as i did. |

This drama is bitter but you can't stop watching it, great acting of Takako and Takuya. |
| 165. | Comments by Erikku-kun [Rating: 9/10]
Wow! This one's really beautiful..
Whoever interested in J-Drama out there, I highly recommend this. It's a deep, sad story with a lot of romantic scenes. If you've seen anything alike, you'll recognize the ever so popular illness theme.. and if you're already tired of it, don't make it let you down this drama. Because it's really worth your time, and it will surely make you cry. |

as always, kimura takuya's performance deserves a thumb up.however,try hard as she might,tokiwa takako's performances are still average for me, including this one.one actress however did caught my attention this time.it was mizuno miki,playing as tamura sachie(takako's bestfriend).quite an excellent performance from her here.great storyline.not a bad casting.an outstanding soundtrack from B'z there. |

Soo moving story |
| 180. | Comments by kumukurukuk [Rating: 10/10]
very touching, simple story yet sweet and heartwarming!!! they are such a cute couple. As usual Kimutaku is Hot !!!! Cried at the end.
I think the drama is more about how shuji and kyoko handles their relationship in the midst of Kyoko's doubts and low self confidence. Kyoko has given up a lot of things, she basically closed her heart and this is what they need to overcome to be able to be together and to maintain their relationship. At first I did not understand why MAsao, Kyoko's brother did not want her going out with shuji and I think its more than wanting her sister not to get hurt, I think he feels some resentment towards the situation. Before the family provided her with happiness, love and support. To be able to provide these things to her and attend to her sister Masao did not pursue his own dreams and stayed with the family business. Now that Shuji takes this role from the family, Masao may feel that all his sacrifice was for nothing since another person is able to give kyoko the happiness, love, support etch. The ending was great, Kimutaku is such a hunk!!!!! Inever get tired of staring at him |

OH, MY GOD! It's the first time I saw Kimura-kun in a pretty serious role. His scene in the last episode where he cried at last was really stellar and it broke my heart! Takako Tokiwa did a good job as well. Good script and great acting, though slow at times, but really worth it! Go watch it! |

what can i say but a must see !!!! |
| 186. | Comments by yijing [Rating: 9/10]
i really like the ending as it is simply perfect. because Kyoko passed away in the end thus the ending is beautiful as Shuji lived on strongly for her. unlike other characters of other dramas that we often see, he doesn't pins for her. becos Kyoko is alive in his heart. if she had lived on maybe i won't like this drama as much |

Kimura Takuya & Tokiwa Takako are a great match.
Nishikawa Takanori fits his role as a a stylist perfectly! (He's awesome in this!)
B'z ED song for this drama....I love it! It reminds of how great I thought of this drama! The lyrics are sweet and they really touch your heart. Oh, B'z. You make such great music.

This is one of the most touching shows I have seen in years. By all counts, Beautiful Life depicts several of the best acting performances in Asian cinema I have noted to date, and heralds a topic most of Japan wouldn't touch. An A++ for topic coverage, good story, decent soundtrack, and superb acting. |

This is probably one of the most widely watched JDoramas ever next to "GTO" and "Long Vacation". In fact, I was introduced to this drama after watching "GTO" and this was when I fell in love with Kimura Takuya's acting. The story revolves around a hairstylist whose dream is to make people pretty so that they can be happy and a young, handicapped woman who is confined to a wheelchair for her entire life. Although they got into a few squabbles in the beginning, they soon became closer and fell in love with one another. The chemistry between Kimura Takuya and Tokiwa Takako was electric and it really added to the dramatics of the ending.
Highly recommended (don't forget tissues). |

Instantly became one of my all time favorites. The touching love story b/n Shuji & Kyoko was iminently believable and expertly acted by Takako Tokiwa & Kimura Takuya. A "beautiful" story as the name implies. Thrillingly lovely yet depressing as well. Be prepared to shed a tear. |

Not a bad dorama. The storyline was good and Kimura and Tokiwa were good together. ending was a little predictable but it was still good |
| 268. | Comments by koalabear [Rating: 6/10]
Why such a low score? Interesting questions. OK Kimura is fabulous in this. He looks pretty bad I must say and I'm not a huge fan of the whole "stylish" character but he is extremely genuine, honest, sincere and kind in this jdorama. Completely convincing - you just have to love Shuji because he's such a great guy. It's to Kimura's credit that even though he doesn't look his best in this (looks tired, skin is bad - looks very luckluster) that you just love Shuji anyway.
I think the problem is, while I did like Kyoko as a character - there was very little chemistry between Kyoko and Shuji. Partly because 常盤貴子 persists in playing Kyoko with an almost witless wide-eyed-ness which is a bit weird..... that being said, there are some wonderful moments - moving the wheelchair with the feet, Shuji's declarations... discussions with the brother etc.
The drama is very uneven. There are moments which it really drags, and then other moments when it's very interesting. Towards the end, it is (as you know) extremely sad) and Kimura is excellent. The famous final scene is just as wonderful and reassuring as I was led to believe and the feeling of healing and love you receive is extremely wonderful. I still watch bits of this drama again, I just wish the chemistry was better and that 常盤貴子 didn't always play Kyoko in such a spoilt / bratty fashion ..... Yes yes, I know her life was difficult, but Shuji was sooooooo loving and understanding .... sometimes Kyoko was just so annoying to him :) |
| 269. | Comments by natzumi [Rating: 8/10]
Yet another classic from Takuya. It's a romatic comedy about a girl in wheel chair and a hair dressor whom she opens her heart to. As the title suggested... it is a beautiful story. |

Arguably one of the best real-life dramas I've ever seen. Like Summer Snow, it starts silly, and ends consumingly strong. Prepare lots of tissues - since even though you expect the ending, watching things slowly fall apart makes the story so much more tragic and tearful. |

The ending wasn't a big suprise, but it still made you cry a little. I love how their relationship unfolded. The shock value in the first episode of Kyoko being snappy and then coming out with her wheelchair really made me think twice. I learned alot about how handicaps are treated in Japan by watching this. It was a beautiful love story... Mmmm, Kimura Takuya ... wish I had known about SMAP earlier! |
| 292. | Comments by Sumire [Rating: 9/10]
I really love this show. I think sometimes that Kyoko can be annoying and plays the victim too much. I like Shuji and how he doesn't even think of it as an issue that she is handicapped, he sees past it and loves her no matter what. When i first watched this series when it came out I actually cried, very touching. |
| 293. | Comments by Chrisse [Rating: 10/10]
for me it's the best romantic/drama story ever! I really liked the connection that shuji and kyoko had. The last episode was really a killer, never felt so sad when i watched tv.
It's my number one show.
the acting of takuya kimura and tokiwa takako were really great.
i recommand it to everybody |

Heartwarming but not the best love story around. At the beginning, the story is well-paced and well-scripted. The ending, I felt, was not nearly as well done. This series, I might add, is very melodramatic and can become unbearable to digest. |

Other than Long Vacation, this is probably the other Takuya drama that I really like so far. And Takako Tokiwa was surprisingly natural in this. And probably the only drama involving a terminally sick lead that doesn't put me off! |

*DO NOT WATCH IF YOU DO NOT LIKE TRAGIC ENDINGS*
Takako Tokiwa is superb in this drama. She is very cute and her acting is great. I must admit I didn't like Takuya's character because of his hot-headedness.
I watched the whole series through only to hope for a happy ending but was verydisappointed by the tragic Titanic-like ending. If I knew how it would have ended, I would have never start watching it. |

Beautiful Life is the most touching drama I've ever seen. Kimura and Tokiwa have great chemistry, and both did great in their roles. (Especially Tokiwa, she was excellent as Kyoko.) You see their relationship grow throughtout the whole series, although the ending is sad... made me cry more than once. I also liked the sidestory with Masao and Sachie. Watabe was funny as Masao, he had such an awkward manner, very amusing XD. Overall, it's a nice, heartwarming love story. |

A touching story about a hair stylist and the handicapped love of his life. This tale explores the predudices and hardships that they experience throughout their relationship. While not completely original, this is still amoung my favorites. |

Beautiful drama, beautiful acting, beautiful message. This dorama is unforgettable to me because of the subtle but poignat acting of Takako Tokiwa and Takuya Kimura. I have never been so touched watching a jdorama before. The powerful acting of the two leads makes this one an A++++. |

There's alot of hype over this drama and I can't understand why... typical plot of cute guy falling for a crippled girl rite? That's all rite? Nothing unique and I can't recall much of it. Soundtrack is very good though... |
| 351. | Comments by Hemilya [Rating: 9/10]
It's a sad, but at the same time a very kind and touching story. About how love can make people strong and weak, and how can person change because of love.
I think Tokiwa Takako did a really great job, describing how a handicaped person sees this world around him. A enjoyed her playing. And of course Kimura Takuya was awesome. Well, as he always is. |

A beautiful story and very touching. Great chemistry between Takako and Takuya. I enjoyed how they met, how they came to respect each other, then understand each other, and finally to love each other.
The two main characters definitely had spark on-screen. Also, appreciate seeing the treatment of handicap people in Japan. There's a lot of japanese dramas that deal with this subject. It might be b/c Japanese society still has issues when it comes to treating handicap people with respect and love. So, it's good to see subjects like this.
A heartfelt ending that I will remember. Highly recommended. |

This was my first Jdorama. I did not know anything about Jdoramas but I decided to watch it, just to get a wink of what Japanese media was like ^_^.
I loved this series. It really was a beautiful life. However I though it was a bit to slow in the beginning. One could easily get bored from the start and decide not to watch the series. Nevertheless, please do, cause the series is wonderful, truly wonderful. 8/10 The end was not my favourite though. |

I just finished watching this series. I love how there isn't continuous crying or anything like that in this one. Of course there's some, as with all sad-ending dramas, but the acting was unexpected for me. It was a great drama. The ending of course was sad, but I liked the way it ended. Thumbs up. |

lovely drama although i do have to admit i got pretty bored in the middle portion n find it a tad too draggy.....
the casts put in great performances n u'll really feel for them as if u noe them in person (at least i did)...
although i already knew wat happened in the end (through spoilers in this website reviews :( but i still cried during the last few episodes after Kyoko fate was confirmed.... especially the last part when Shuji put makeup for her, really cannot control myself.... |

I cried when I watched the ending. Actually, starting from episode 3 onwards, I cried at least once in every episode. I was a nervous wreck when Takuya Kimura applied makeup for the dead girl in the last scene. I cried SO LOUD my mother rushed into the room to see me bawling into a wad of wet tissue paper and staring at the computer screen at the same time. Of course I hafta give this drama full marks, the last time I cried so bad was when Shinkai hurt his foot in Good Luck hahaha |

| 386. | Comments by Anees [Rating: 9/10]
If you want to watch something like this, you are better off just watching Summer Snow, which is really similar but even better. KimuTaku is the same as always, and Takiko is really good (she's the main reason I love this drama)... the ening was disappointing and a little sudden, but maybe I only think that because I watched this one right after Summer Snow, which has a perfect ending. Anyway, this drama all around is very touching, and even though it can be sad, it will make you feel really happy. |

Yes, like everyone says.........this is one hella sad drama. If its viewership was more representative of the world's population, we may have had less materialistic and more appreciative people. I enjoyed this drama because 1) its "final" episode eloquently captured the one or many moments that we must go through in life 2) the characters are unique and strong in their own ways and 3) well, I don't want to spoil it. |
| 389. | Comments by Sailorprinzess [Rating: 8/10]
Although I love Kimura Takuya to death, this drama was decent. I love the relationship between the two main characters, but the character Kyoko, the girl lead, got on my nerves a lot. I don't know, maybe I need to watch it again to give it proper attention, sinc eI was in the middle of my finals while watching it. However I do think everyone should give it a chance! |

Definitely one of the most beautifully done doramas I've seen. Touching performances by Takako and Takuya with a great supporting cast. I'm not a fan of sad stories typically but this one was certainly something else. I can definitely see how this is comparable to LG and LV. Watabe Atsuro was an inspired choice to play her somewhat slow and overprotective brother. A great dorama overall! |

But Takako Tokiwa was more than ok for me in this drama, she and Takuya make a wonderful couple!! |

| 402. | Comments by LoveMonster [Rating: 8/10]
(Watched Eps 1-7- will update upon completion) A pair that are destined to tug at your heartstrings. The differences between the two leave their relationship perpetually doomed but like all love stories, the moments of happiness are worth all the pain. I love the idea. I was even reeled in by the gimmicky love triangles and been there/done misunderstandings that plague all relationships. But the writing would fall flat at times- periods of dullness that could be too much to put up with if you're not patient, or just looking for a quick easy ride. |

I liked it very much. Although I'm not fond of tearjerkers, and not fond of Kimura either - who sorta always plays the same tough guy role - I really enjoyed this one. The story is well built and the chemistry between Kimura and Tokiwa really works. Tokiwa particularly is very convincing and touching in playing her character. The romance of Mizuno and Watabe also adds some fun in watching this dorama. |

It's a typical love story where a sick person is involved. You've seen it in Summer Snow, in Ichi Ritoru no Namida, in Sekai no Chuushin, and probably in a lot more other dramas. I'll give it credit for being one of the early original ones, but if you've seen one too many shows with the same theme, then it's really nothing special. |

This drama was pretty good. The plot is too simple though.. I was bored occasionally.. Sometimes, I admit I had to force myself to watch this. However, I still give this drama 7 because of very good ending. This drama got better after ep.8, and ep.11 was very good and touching. Kimura Takuya gave very solid performance here. Some of the lines were very touching too.
It wasn't as sad as I wished it would be, though.. I think this drama is a little bit overrated because of its high ratings.
Tokiwa Takako didn't really have any chemistry with Kimura Takuya.
I think my expectations were too high because of the name values of Kitagawa Eriko and Kimura Takuya. This drama is good, but it could have been better |

Amazing story with amazing actors... ^^ If not's the best, one of the best dramas i've watched |

This Drama was okayish. Sometimes Kyoko gets kinda annoying, that'll be my only complaint. Plus I rather they paired up Kimura Takuya with someone beautiful. I've noticed usually the leading female are never pretty, I guess it's to keep the females fan from being jealous? |

its a good dorama but not worthy to be in a top 5 in my opinion, i usually addict to a drama in the first 3 episodes, but i take like 5 episodes to like this drama, but still a good dorama! |

one of my first japanese dramas. i guess beautiful life is the one japanese dramas that sunk me even deeper into the abyss of japanese dramas. LOL... at first, i didn't really like kimutaku and was always wondering why is his hair so curly in this show. hahaha....by the time i finished this, i was in love with him that i watched almost all the dramas which he had acted. |

Highly recommended drama, very nice and touching. A must watch!! |

Absolute no chemistry between Shuji played by Takuya Kimura and Kyoko played by Takako Tokiwa. Poor acting on Kimura's part. He was not convincing that he actually loved her like the drama tried to portray. Nice Story - maybe would have been better if they got a different male lead. |
| 453. | Comments by Takashi [Rating: 9/10]
LOVE IT!
One of the saddest dramas i've watched.... sends a message to all those healthy people out there..... "Be happy of who you are" |
| 454. | Comments by strawberrynkiwi [Rating: 8/10]
If I watched it when it first came out, I would have rated higher. Since I watched 1 Litre of Tears already, the whole handicap theme was watched before. It was touching, but not extremely that made me cry. Plus the plot was quite predictable. I gott admit there wasn't a lot of chemistry between the leads compare to the newer dramas of Kimura. I still enjoyed it though. I really like the beginning, than as it got to the end, it was too 1 Litre of Tears. |

Classic Drama. |

This has got to be one of the most well-known love stories of jdorama: Kyoko + Shuji = <3! And I loved every minute of it. Then again, I'm a sucker for tragic love stories. It made me laugh, cringe, worry, smile, and cry- it was absolutely wonderful and beautiful! |

Still watching it for the joy of watching Takuya Kimura who is such a natural actor. |
| 484. | Comments by steadfast [Rating: 10/10]
You don't see much like this. Even though by the end of the first episode you already know what the ending will be, that's fine. Because the writing is realistic. the acting is awesome. Everyone, absolutely everyone did a amazing job. I'm a male, and I have to admit this story touched me. My eyes watered several times. |

| 489. | Comments by Kitsuchi [Rating: 10/10]
This was a really beautiful and sad story.. It kind of reminded me of Ichi Ritoru no Namida. Maybe they took the idea from it?
However, the love between Shuji and Kyoko is sweet. The story is deep but yet so simple.. Kimura Takuya is an excellet actor. This is my first time seeing Tokiwa Takako act and I really like her. She is really good. I liked her always strong and healthy behaviours ^_^.
I also liked the theme song for this dorama.
This is a highly recommended dorama ^_^. |

i actually have a very high expectation for this drama, since my fav takuya kimura is in it, but unfortunately, this drama has failed my expectation, although the idea of e story is good bt e way they narrate e story has failed - i think, n e character doesnt really interest me much either although i must say the main actor n actress have done good jobs, while e rest of e actors - i couldnt care less since their acting - below average, exp: e main actress big bro, OMG, so irritating 2 watch whenever his turn |

It was a great show!! I kinda got the feeling that one should be thankful to god to be able to run, to be able to live...
It it such a heartwarming, touching and awesome drama, I love it! An unusual storyline but I liked it....it wasn't always the same, great actor and the chraracters were awesome. Although the end was predictable it was realistic. The end was really sad, so that I cried.
There were no boring scene, I was always looking forward to watch the next episode. |

a bit draggy and manipulative, but watabe atsuro and miki mizuno made it more bearable. takako tokiwa was great, takuya kimura his usual self... even though i knew the ending, i still cried buckets. good show, esp thanks to the good supporting cast. |

| 540. | Comments by sirhin [Rating: 7/10]
I liked it enough though some parts were somewhat too slow-moving for my tastes. It was rather touching at some points and light-hearted at others. Slightly mushy at one points, with the mandatory obstacles a couple encounters in typical dramas. All in all, I mostly watched this because of the good reviews I kept on reading and the plot appealed to me. Honestly, try it out and watch it! After all, I may be one of the atypical ones and you might just love it! All in all, it has a good plot and was pretty entertaining and it kept me hooked till the end. It's worth a try and is pretty good. My only complaint are the dialogue-only scenes. I'm not the most emotionally adept person out there. |

A heartwarming/heartbreaking story of finding and fighting for love.
Two characters fighting against each other for much of the series only to finally come together in the face of tragedy. Captures some good themes about beauty and honesty but perhaps falls short of true greatness - the idea of 'life as beauty' only get a cursory examination and could be so much more deeply explored with the same characters. The characters are for the most part very well played. Certain scenes in the end (and likely throughout) will require a handy box of tissues to mop up your face. |

Hmm... One of my first dramas... It's a quite good drama about a hairdresser falling in love with a lady in a wheelchair. Problems arise as evil co-workers plot demise while the hairdresser tries to convince the stubborn woman that he loves her for her, wheelchair or not. |

My first "Kimutaku" drama. At the time, I thought it was awesome. After a little bit of viewing experience now, it's still very good, not stunning, but good. Nice slow pace, and not really anything happens for a long time, but that's okay. |

Great dorama with some of the greatest dramatic moments i have ever seen.
Kimura´s character here is just like his character in Long Vacation and Love Generation, but i won´t criticize this, that character is a winning formula for this kind of doramas.
Tokiwa Takako was really beatiful in this, she is one of the most likeable characters ever, i really cared about her character.
Another great Kimura dorama, but i believe that the plot and Tokiwa Takako were much more important in this than Kimura. |
