Great romatic comedy
9 / 10

One of the great romantic comedy doramas in my opinion.
What I look for in romantic comedies is:
- Good acting. Nagase Tomoya and Aibu Saki were perfect, and the supporting cast very good as well
- Chemistry between the lead actors and characters
- An intelligent romantic plot, with a little bit of realism
- Light-hearted moments, particularly with the supporting cast
- A good development of the story, with surprises and twists
Utahime has all of that, and it's well executed!
great story bad ending....

I loved the first few episodes but towards the end, it started to get a little too boring. Although the drama itself can be quite slow paced at times, these last few episodes started to drag a bit too much. However, Nagase Tomoya and Aibu Saki played their characters well. The rest of the cast is equally good. The ending is bittersweet and you'll have to think a while to get the final conclusion.
In a class of its own

What was interesting about this drama was that it was so different; from the setting right down to the speech patterns of the characters. Once again, Nagase portrays a rather outrageous character, and does it well. There is plenty of chemistry between him and the lead actress, Aibu Saki - who was brilliant as the stubborn, tough but at times, sensitive Suzu. Not only that, I loved the interaction between all the characters in the drama. There were none that didn't leave their mark on you; none that you couldn't sympathize with or care for. And I certainly applaud all the actors for learning how to speak in that odd Tosa dialect.
The storyline starts of as a simple story of blossoming love between Taro and Suzu, but certainly gets more complicated when it reaches its climax. I couldn't help but rooting for BOTH Suzu and Miwako, but in the end, Taro can only be with one, and I'm glad he chose whom he chose in the end, though it was bittersweet. But certainly, very powerful.
I can't for life understand why it received such low ratings - possibly due to its late broadcast time.
