Really this drama was pretty disturbing but it is the kind of drama that once you see you will feel a great impact on you. For that reason alone it is worth seeing. Kanno Miho and Kawashima Naomi were simply amazing in this. Bravo!

Kanno Miho and Kawashima Naomi were both excellent in this drama. I can't imagine anyone turning in a better performance. The bizarre and haunting relationship they had was very dark and twisted but you do not walk away from the drama feeling depressed. I was completely entertained the whole time and could not wait to see the next episode.

While many viewers seem to view this show as a fairy tale, I tend to view it as an interesting allegory about self-acceptance. Like many of us, Rika (played brilliantly gloomily by Kanno Miho, only 18 at the time) sees something ugly when she looks into the mirror, and it took much courage and help from her friends and family to undo the damage done by her unloving mother, and for Rika to finally accept and love herself for who she is.

aside from the poor graphics (tragic attempt to portray an oversized iguana, appalling at times :P), this drama is actually quite good. the storyline is quite heart-warming with the mother-daughter issue, and the inferior complex the main character had to overcome, the subtle bond between rika & noboru, nice soundtrack... not award-worthy but not pathetic either

Touching, but many parts are draggy.

This drama is touching enough, and we can hit her mother if we seeing this drama. Kanno Miho is a beautiful young woman and she had many talents to be a superstar for her acting.

I like this drama. Truly I do. Though the plot might be a bit weird, I find it okay. I would say this drama is more like a fairytale story. I have to admit that the iguana's reflection doesn't look too real but hey, I kept telling myself that this is supposed to be a fairytale. Anyway, at first, I really hate the mother. She's so mean towards Rika. Later when I came to know that she doesn't realise that she's an iguana as well, I begin to pity her. Ah...sad ne...Kanno Miho looks so sweet in here. As for the lead actor [the guy who acts as Noboru], I feel that his expression is a bit stiff. Anyway, this is a good drama with good music. Watch it! ^_^
