Imho this dorama had all it needed to be a great one: two great leads (Takeuchi & Abe), a good supporting cast, some great lines, an interesting story (and as someone already noticed, great ending credits, LOL), but they screwed it up with the way it ended, unfortunately...=__=

A pleasant drama. I wanted a little more romance than what was in the show but I enjoyed it enough. I ended up seeing it twice actually and it's decent enough.

Takeuchi and Abe were great in this but then again they are great in everything I have seen them and (and that is a lot of stuff). It's not an outstanding drama but it has it's moments and the story line is fairly nice it just really lacks a strong identity. Worth checking out though.

This is a decent, but not great drama. Both Abe Hiroshi and Yuko Takeuchi are very good, as usual. However, the story is flimsy, there is just not much there. At times, it seems like they were going to make it a love story between the two main actors, but that goes nowhere. Enjoyable enough while you are watching it, but forgettable once it's over. A few laughs, but not really a comedy either. I think this was more about two people searching for what will make them happy, I guess?

This is just your average comedy drama. Not great, despite the very good lead cast, not bad, despite the lack of big surprises. You won't laugh very hard but it will make you smile, it won't make you cry but it is never too cheesy, it will not leave you hanging at the end of each episode but you will gladly move to the next one.
All in all, a good watch if you don't have high expectations, and as usual Abe Hiroshi and Takeuchi Yuko are perfect. They would have deserved a better script though.

In many ways typical, star power pushes this drama up several notches. Takeuchi in particular is cute and energetic; she tries so hard that it's difficult not to pay attention, though at times her wacky reaction shots are a bit much. But the series excels emotionally - thanks to her - so you're willing to forgive small excesses.

Love this drama - Takeuchi Yuko is SUPER! She just shines and beams in this show. Abe Hiroshi in one of his best performances.

Abe Hiroshi looks a bit awkward in this drama. Takeuchi Yuko, on the other hand, is perfect as the little sister who always thinks of others. But the series takes a while to turn you on, and the overacting of some characters gets really annoying.

Personally, I loved this drama. Its great to see a relatively normal drama, and its great to see Abe Hiroshi and Takeuchi Yuko play normal charachters. I enjoyed seeing the interaction between the two. As said in the other reviews, the story is pretty typical. In each of the episodes, there is a life lesson to be learned. This the kind of drama that lets you relax and watch the story unfold. No suspense, but very reasuring. You let the main actors lead you through the story in their very skillful ways, with them reasuring you all the way. My kind of drama.

Lack the normal 'peaks' of JDorama. Supporting roles didn't help either. Unless you're hardcore fan of Yuko, might not rank that high up on Dramas to watch.
I for one, liked her smile very much. Therefore, the ending credits is the best parts! She's playing baseball! for crying out loud. {My personal opinion only}

This is just an average drama about some people in a vacation resort. The usual stuff happen: conflicts, challenges, obstacles, and so on. There's no spark between any of the characters, and the drama is a bit slow. I can however, feel that the writers were really trying to convey some life lessons in there, and convey them through events that happen and the people in there that resolve the issues. I felt this a lot more than the other dramas. They didn't have any big cliffhanger endings at the end of each episode, and there wasn't an ultimate showdown to anything, so don't expect things to get heavy in this drama.
