Synopsis

Hinata Tetsushi is an affluent man whose personality is on the contrary, speckled with flaws. A CEO of an IT firm who is published on Forbes as a billionaire, Tetsushi attained his fortune through chance and pure luck.

A woman who meets Tetsushi and eventually becomes attracted to him is Sawaki Chihiro. Chihiro is a hardworking college student at Tokyo University who has prepared for her future as much as she possibly could through studies and obtaining licenses. Despite her efforts, she has yet to land a job.

Upon meeting Tetsushi, she begins to unravel a genuine pureness inside him and solitude resulting from such pureness, which eventually draws her closer to him.

The two repeatedly conflict each other, but little by little learn about one another to grow and develop together.

Loved It

10 / 10

Wynter · 2013

I don't know if it's because I watched this drama after a long break from dramas, or because I really did enjoy it, but I've given it a 10. I loved the premise. I found it new and refreshing, and I absolutely loved Shun and Satomi as the leads. They had great chemistry, and together with a strong supporting cast, this drama held my attention through and through. I hope for a sequel!

Good but Lack of Love Story

8 / 10

rinarina · 2012

I give this drama 8 out of 10. I enjoyed the story and like the typical heroine that hard working and not give up easily and following what her heart says. Good plot with less love scene, to be exact the love scene only at the ending ep 11, after long running the production drama team should have made the love scene longer not just showed it at the end. Overall this is one of a drama that has quality lack from present drama (Japan, Korea, Taiwan). Enjoy the soundtrack too. The acting of the actors are improving much than their last drama.
