Heard so many comments about how this drama is a must watch, classic J-drama....so end up feeling quite disappointed...onli like the last two discs

Just a incredable Dorama full of feeling and emotions.

Rika is so heartwarming, She left such a big impact on me I will never forget.
I would say Rika is 99% of the focus in the Dorama. Scenes without her is just a waste of time.

The Ending is a little dissapointing, almost jerked a tear out of me, and I am a Man.
Rika is just so adorable,
This is my first Suzuki Honami Dorama, and I am a Instant Fan.

The story was great and it kept tugging at your emotions. Suzuki Honami played her character the best. You could feel all of the emotions she tried to suppress and hide, eventually bursting out at times. I was stunned to see her play this role since she was so different in Kono Yo No Hate (I saw that one first).

Great love story with a sad ending. Suzuki Honami was great. You'll like a different ending. This is also voted as one of the most memorable dorama.

I had always heard this was considered to be of the origin of the big time japanese dorama, and I believe it. I thought it was a great, original plot, great theme music, classic. I liked the Rika and Kanji characters (I think went thru a lot of the problems any modern day couple would go thru). Obviously, she was acting out of insecurity in trying to manipulate everything they were doing as a couple. If the Kanji had any maturity he would have set some kind of guidelines for there working relationship to try work out there problems. But, instead drops the vivacious , personable lady for a woman that had the personality of a goldfish. But I still would strongly recommend it even though its an older production.

[SPOILERS!]

this drama is brilliantly acted by Suzuki Honami. i really believe she's the key element in this drama. if she didn't portray her character well, this could end up as a flop. Oda Yuji on the other hand is pretty good too, but it's really sad why they couldn't end up together. a real-life drama, i guess everybody can relate to Suzuki Honami's character. ^_^

This is a great drama i have ever seen.although Rika gave her whole heart to love Kanji, and she always had the sweet spirit to this man. but Kanji's first love is his high school sweet heart not Rika. so at the end he turn out to break up with Rika. i did not know why Kanji was so apathetic and so cold to a woman so in love with him and help him all the times(when he is in need). may be the fact of life is like this,
the fact of life is socratic irony, the sweet and lovely Rika did not have good luck to have her love one with her, her love for Kanju is so strongly keep in the depth of her heart, for she loved him with so hard and faithful way.

I absolutely adore Honami Suzuki and also her character in the dorama, Rika Akana. She inspired me with her grace and full-of-spirit style. It's one of my favorite doramas ever! The story is lovely, sweet, sometimes funny and so sad. I wonder why things wouldn't work out between Kanchi and Rika. Unpredictable plot makes a story interesting, doesn't it?

It's on of my favourite dorama, and I think it's the saddest dorama I've ever watched. I love Rika Akana character so much (well, I'm also one of Honami Suzuki's fans). Rika is a cheerful and energetic young woman. Until now, I still don't understand why she couldn't end up with Kanchi. It's too bad. But that what makes Tokyo Love Story interesting.
It's a good dorama to watch. Believe me!
