Misaki Kyosuke, an excellent plastic surgeon, started living a very private life after his wife passed away, confining his main joys in life to cultivating his herb garden and spending time with his only daughter. One day, a woman enters his clinic and asks that her face be completely changed to whatever Kyosuke wishes. Kyosuke is very suspicious and refuses her request, but she begs him to reconsider and explains that she is trying to escape from her violent husband. Kyosuke finally agrees and alters her appearance to that of his late wife. Afterwards, a relationship begins to develop between the two of them, but things start to unravel when two police officers show up on his doorstep looking for the "missing" woman.

Interesting idea for a plot, but the developement of the storyline lacks more depth & charm, pace is slow but twists took off after Episode 5. Likely adored only by true fans of Tokiwa Takoko & Tamura Masakazu. *Avail for trade-2 DVDs/B/Eng Sub.

This seemed to be a drama made for a little older viewers like myself maybe. But I don't know, it's not that good. The plot is somewhat interesting, but it's too draggy. Tamura Mazakasu's one of the most popular actors in Japan and this was the first time I saw him act. I got quite tired of his head nodding and artificial laughfter. I've now seen him in Oyaji and Otousan where he does more appealing roles.
I give this one a 4 because even though it was boring I still wanted to know how it would end. And that's a good thing at least.

Wow, once I started watching this I couldn't stop. The story just keeps getting better as the drama progresses. The twists may drive you crazy from time to time. The compatibility between Dr. Misaki and Miyuki may also seem shoddy, but man, if I was an middle aged man like that, I wouldn't hold back either for Miyuki.
