Nice Guys finish last ?

Really good romance, what I really like about this is that the protagonist Kaoru unlike most heroines is far from being a paragon of virtue. It's really nice to see Ishida Yurika get a leading role and she doesn't disappoint either.Both Ishida Yurika and Ihara Tsuyoshi (who most people will probably remember as the funny boss from last Christmas)give fantastic performances. Kyoko Hasegawa also provides an endearing but secondary role performance as Jasmine (by the way that looks like Kyoko Hasegawa prominently featured on the vcd cover which I guess shows more false advertising as she isn't the leading character).
Nice to see Japanese actors speak Cantonese and take in the scenery form Hong Kong.Unfortunately I wasn't that impressed by Kawamura Ryuichi's performance which lacked feeling although his Cantonese was probably the best all of them.Thoroughly enjoyable drama even if the last episode had so many cliches like running to the church to stop the wedding/running to the airport to stop the girlfriend from leaving/snow starting to fall/ Kaoru's intention to work in a bookshop in Notting Hill Gate !
