Synopsis
Having nothing to do, ex-Olympic swimmer candidate, Hiromi, decides to go to the beach after being thrown out of his girlfriend's house. While there, he meets Kaito, an elite salaryman of a big company, who comes with the purpose of cooling himself down.

Highly Overrated Drama
6 / 10bettebogart · 2008
While I've enjoyed Yutaka Takenouchi and Sorimachi Takashi in many other dramas, this one was just fair. The story really goes nowhere. The only reason to enjoy this drama is the beach and the two eye candy actors, as the plot is so unbelievably thin.
One of the classic show.

Very strong and attractive casts. Nice songs too. Definitely one of the classic show.
