Terribly UNDERRATED!!! This was a great drama with good acting, great chemistry all around. Great supporting characters. I loved that every episode had a focus on each character's romance and moved those stories along all the way up until the end. Funny, dramatic but not too dramatic, charming, very different from most Jdramas. Think Sex and The City in Tokyo, but better!

I really enjoyed watching this drama after seeing a pair of drawn-out, over-cooked dramas. If you are tired of the "drama" aspect being done over too long of a time, then this drama is the one for you. It's not perfect, but not too over-done in terms of the story.

I loved everything about this show.. the characters, the story, the music... luved it, luved it, luved it. I even bought the soundtrack, which I play it often...it really gets me going. I was surprised to learn that in Japan it was played up to be "sort of Japanese version" of Sex and the City..because it's 120% better than that stupid American show. The stories and characters don't even compare. A must see for the modern gal.
