The story is can really happen in our lifes. We always try to find the best in our lifes. I'm very enjoy the ending. Nanako played different from her other serial drama, and she's playing good.

Seeing Nanako in this dorama is really interesting, her role as Jinno Sakurako, a materialistic woman who wanna married a very rich man so she could never live in poverty again. She played this character really good, the first time i see her with her short haircut. Such character usually hate by most people, well i don't really like the character either, but this dorama with Nanako's playing made the character so people didn't just hate her, but understand her. The maturity of the characters, especially the main characters (Sakurako & Osuke) are the best part in this dorama. But despite of my likeness of this dorama there are still some points in this dorama that just didn't match my interested point. So i couldn't really said i really like this dorama or couldn't really made it my fave. It might be a very good dorama, it's just i don't really like it that much...

In the beginning, I didn't really care for the drama much. Thankfully, the momentum picked up more and more towards the end. There were some parts that made me teary-eyed but not that many. I would still recommend this one.

The script is well-written, the story flows well and there are some parts that are really very funny! Nanako's performance was great even batter than GTO. A very watchable drama that leaves you with a warm feeling afterwards.

i simply loved this drama. this will be my attempt to explain why Ousuke went what he went through for Sakurako ...
as told earlier in the series, Sakurako looks exactly like the girl that Ousuke was dating back at MIT. she left him because he focused on his studies too much. left in despair and with his father's passing, he returns to japan to run his father's fish shop.
one night at a gokon with his friends, on his way out, he spots Sakurako who he thought was the girl that dumped him back in Boston. that was enough for him to stay. the fact he had the horse racing owner's pin was purely coincidental (i admit a little too good to be true, but still ...). although she's totally out for his money ... he believes that the heart is the most important thing when looking for another 'soulmate.' eventually, his mild-manner, innocent, and sometimes naive self somehow rubs off on Sakurako who realizes that there are other things more important than money when it comes to looking for love. it's during that process that everyone falls in love with this drama.
matsushima plays that spoiled girl role excellentlly. just as tsusumu plays his naive role wonderfully. tied in with the great theme song ... Everything by Misia ... it became a fan-favorite by many viewers.
i love that song Everything. great song for a great drama.

Again, Nana shows why she's the best. Superb casts, a great script and an up-and-down of emotional twists, make this Japanese drama a true winner. Nana took on a different chracter to her past but still maintains her strong performance on screen. Her new hairstyle was eye-catching too. Shinichi Tsutsumi was the perfect person to take on the role and a did a splendid job. A great romantic comedy with a nice ending. What more can you ask for?

The ending is really nice. Nanako acting is great. She looks stylish and elegant. Her new hair style is really nice.And I really do like her dressing so much.The story goes fine and funny too. I think it's worth to spend our time watching it.

Nanako with her new hair cut looks good in this drama. Personally she isn't my favourite actress, but i believe that she did really well in this drama. She looks very elegant in her role. the plot is quite capturing, while there is funny sections that make you laugh.

wwyliu · 3 Dec 2001

I think this is one of the best Nanako's tv series. Her acting is superb and extremely funny

Nanako did a splendid performance in this drama and the drama is also very funny.I also love the clothings she wears because every episode she changes her outfit and her short hair fits perfectly for her role.
Tsutsumi Shinichi fits to be with Nanako in the drama.A drama that was deserved the Best Drama for the winter season last year

Most of my friends loved this one, but i don't understand why even though they explain it to me. It seems like they "fell in love" for merely materialistic reasons--she for him because she thought he was rich, and he for her because she looks like Matsushima Nanako. So it was difficult for me to respect either of the characters or appreciate what they were going through. The woman treats the man terribly, enough to make any sane person quickly abandon the idea, but he continues to pursue her and she continues to reject him... Predictably, in the end they marry and live happily ever after. But, if so many people like it, it must be good; it's just beyond me.

Nanako fan · 20 Jun 2001

An excellent comedy, love and touching drama which Nanako has put on her best in her acting career. Nanako just looked great with her new refreshing short hair cut. Excellent chemistry with Tsutsumi Shinichi as couple. A good ending not to be missed!

Garfield · 6 Jun 2001

This series was great and funny. Nanako was great in this series with her superb performance and looks beautiful, elegant, pretty and sexy. In each episode she will wear different clothes where all looks nice.
