Sakai Masaaki was Amazing!

8 / 10

Wynter · 2009

I started watching this drama because of Natsukawa Yui (and I love her to pieces), but I kept watching the show because of Sakai Masaaki. What a great performance he gave! I went into the drama with high expectations, but I had very little for him because he's so heavily associated with the role he had in Churasan. However, he completely broke the mold for me and I really had fun watching him in this drama. Both the leads were great, with an okay chemistry between them. Tokui Yoshimi was great as the good-for-nothing boyfriend, and although his character was downright annoying, the acting was grand.

I was a little disappointed with the ending. It was too rushed for my taste, but the overall story was great. Although this drama is a romance, the comedic moments were fantastic. My favourite scenes were the ones between Natsukawa Yui's and Suzuki Sawa's characters. I'd watch the entire drama again just to see the two interact.

I definitely recommend this drama... especially if you're a Yui fan.
