I still laugh when I think of some parts. This drama was really good to watch. Not draggy but annoying, in a good way :)

Synopsis
A romantic comedy about women in their 30's
For everyone who still remembers "Suteki na Kataomoi," "Tokyo Love Story," "101st Proposal," prepare yourselves for even more of those same touching moments again.
Breaking the tradition of the main character for a Monday night drama being a woman in her 20's, Makiko Esumi stars as Kyoko Asaoka, a 32-year-old heart surgeon working at a hospital in Tokyo. Men tend to shy away from the tall, well-educated and well-paid Kyoko because they see her as a woman that can do things on her own. The truth of the matter is that Kyoko is just unlucky in love. She is also old-fashioned, and wants to fall in love just like anyone else, but has a hard time showing her real self to men.

Disappointing
6 / 10bettebogart · 2008
I had been expecting an epic love story, but was very disappointed. The story dragged and the chemistry between the two main characters wasn't there for me. I found the secondary love stories, between her friend and the cook to be far more interesting.
Enjoyable

A pretty decent dorama. Makiko is a great lead actress and Fujiki Naohito plays a character he is quite familiar with interpreting. The rest of the cast do a fine supporting job with kudos to Ryoko for a lively performance. The only drawback of this series was the weakness of the plot in the second half as the series started to drag and the dorama seemed to lack the freshness with which it began. A fine job nevertheless and an enjoyable dorama overall.
