I really enjoyed the performance of Harada Natsuki. This was a refreshing series and had a lot of pleasant moments and a great theme song. I felt the story got shifted a few times in the middle and end. It was as if a new writer suddenly decided to change the plot at random a couple of times. This annoyed me a little and destroyed the tempo of the show but it was still good.

The middle of this asadora has some great moments when a dead character shows up alive, but the idea, like many other ideas in this show never develops. Harada Natsuki is doing a nice job as the sensitive big sister who tries to keep a smile no matter what. Harada has shown to be a high-class actress in her cameos in other dramas.

Harada Natsuki has a bright future I think but this was not the most interesting morning drama. I enjoyed elements of it including the location of Kobe which was nice. The basic story of a girl trying to follow in her departed fathers footsteps and fulfill his dream and her own was a nice concept and the cast was good for the most part but they really loose their focus in spots and abruptly make massive changes in the story with no rhyme or reason. (Well that's not true it was a ratings bomb and they tried to do things to boost ratings and that failed and messed up the story for those watching). Still it was worth watching if you have the time.
