I loved Kusanagi Tsuyoshi in Narita Rikon, so I was really expecting a lot for this drama. Although compared from his performance in Narita Rikon and this one, I sympathize more for his character in Narita Rikon. Somehow I don't think Kusanagi did give life out of Sosuke Nakata. The story in itself was ok, truly reminiscent of Nottinghill. Just that maybe they overdid the dramatic parts. For example, when the director was explaining about the "chair of destiny" for the drama to seem profound and deep, i thought it was just really it's just plain cheesy. I'm not saying this drama is bad-- its actually really fun watching, especially Sosuke's colleagues who're really funny. I recommend watching it along with a big slice of pepperoni pizza (weird, eh?). But for those who're expecting a realistic and effectively profound story, as well as a really great performance by Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, I'd recommend Narita Rikon.
