I was thoroughly dissapointed about how typical the ending was. I also think Nakai-kun did not do such a good job acting. His best angsty role is in Suna no Utsuwa....

I would give it a 9.25. I think the 2 leads gave great performances. The musice was perfect for the drama. The drama is really focused on the relationship between the patients and physicians as they go thru different health related tragedies (this is what leads the main two actors working together in the hospital).

Takeuchi Yuko and Nakai Masahiro did a great job. It's difficult to believe that Nakai was not an actor all of his life. Their characters are so different and this is one of the points that makes this drama's progression interesting. Takeuchi's acting in the near-final scene was like a work of art.

Nakai Masahiro and Takeuchi Yuko were great. Yuko was voted the best actress of the year for this drama. After you finished, you'll still be thinking of the storyline for daysc This is one of the best in 2001. Don't miss it!

I was totally captivated by this drama. It has definitely overtaken "saigo no koi" as my favourite Nakai drama.
Nakai's performance is excellent. He should be highly commended for taking up the challenge of a role so different from any he has ever attempted before. It is obvious that a lot of effort was spent on his part to make his portrayal of intense, broody Dr Naoe convincing and he has suceeded!
Takeuchi also shows great promise and it is this drama which really launched her career.

A bit slow but it's a good drama. Enjoyed watching Nakai & Takeuchi. However, the ending is very sad.

i think this drama is made so poorly. there was one drama Heaven's coin(Hinko no kinka), that one is a excellent one with hospital setting. i could not image a person with terminal illness could have such energy to persuit his love one. that is so funny. there is another drama - Konna koi no hanashi (A story of love) which is a bast drama to record a very ill man who in his last days living with such dignity and not to hurt the one he loves. i think to love a person is consider for them ( not to hurt them)

This drama is something like Beautiful Life & Summer Snow. Very touching. Nakai is so cool throughout the whole show and yet so gentle to Yuko. And Yuko is a natural actress. Both their acting really melts my heart.

I was so touched by the drama. Nakai's performance is superb. His image is very different than his variety shows or previous drama. Very touchy drama- a must see. I like all the scene of Nakai with Yuko. Shimura is so persistent about her love for Naoe. The scene that touched me most is the farewell video tape.

This is a heart wrenching show. The times wen u see Dr Naoe in such agony really pains u as u watch the show. And all he does to make the only love of his life happy. He said one thing tat really caught my heart- Because I love her, thats y I choose not to tell her. So this is one show that u MUST not miss.

Dr Naoe has been living in loneliness and despair and appear cold to everybody , Despite that he is a brilliant surgeon and earn the respect from fellow colleague. He has sworn off love until the appearance of a new nurse , Noriko due to an awful secret. He tried to stay away from her but her cheerfulness and zest to life melts away the coldness in his heart. Can they stay together forever? Watch and see it. Highly recommended.
