I luv this drama! I was expecting it to be just another regular drama, but it is really great. It is also really underrated. I enjoyed it a lot!

My Review: 9/10

There are a lot of discrepancies in this drama that would normally peeve me. Like how Ai, in episode 5, claims that Tatsuya is like a brother to her, even though in the previous episodes there doesnft seem to be much of a bondc or how Chisato has a lunch for four ready at the Amusement Park in episode 4, but initially she was called there by surprise. And lets not forget how Riku re-opens the Laundromat without any experience or knowledge of the business and is successful.

But regardless of all these inconsistencies, I LOVE this drama! So what if some things are really unrealistic. In the grand scheme of things, or in the frame of reference that is this show, it doesnft matter! Ifm a hopeless romantic and this drama did wonders in quenching my thirst.

This drama deals with family and love issues; two themes I always appreciate in a drama. There is just the right amount of angst, and sweet scenes, and comedy, and emotional gliftsh. The cast is uber cute and each actor/actress fits the character they play perfectly. My favourites are Tanaka Misako, who plays the corky, funny, lazy mother, and Kuninaka Ryoko, who plays a shy, unconfident, sweet store manager named Chisato.

And FINALLY, a drama that has eye-candy for female viewers! Tamayama Tetsuji is absolutely gorgeous, and his character is definitely the dream of every girl. Hayami Mokomichi is charming and pulls off his role nicely.

This has become one of those rare dramas that I will watch repeatedly. Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys a sweet, comedic love story!

it's a MUST SEE drama!!!!!

MoCoyaMI wa kaKKoiii.....

I highly recommend this drama. I initially didn't think I would enjoy it that much, but it is great!!! Watch it SOON!

:victory:

It's a good enough drama I thought Tetsuji was gorgeous in it and I loved Moko's character.
It had a nice ending ... I know I approved of it, not many Jdorama endings get that from me ^_^
I think I've said this before(can't remember if it was in here or the 'what are you currently watching thread') but I thought Ryoko in it was adorable she was one of my favourite characters in the show
I haven't watched it for a while now, but recently I've been considering putting it on again
... Yay for love stories <3

Watch it again!

After I finished, I went back and saw the scenes I enjoyed the best... most of which had Ryoko in them! She really was adorable to watch.

LMAO I've been told ^_^

I do that all the time, when I finish a show I usually go back the next day and watch my favourite scenes before considering re-watching the whole thing, I'm so naughty! XD

Spoiler — click to reveal

what I loved about this drama was it didn't seem like Ryoko had a chance to begin with but she kept trying and I was so happy for her in the end... dame if I keep trying like her can I bag a hunk like Tetsuji!?!?!?! XDDDD

LOL! Mebbe that's the lesson all the girls are supposed to learn. ;) She's the first character who's lack of confidence didn't piss me off, and I think it's because she's so lovable! Like you just expect her to be shy, and sweet, and second-guessing herself all the time.

Hai I agree this dorama was made for learning XD
She is so adorable so unlike many female leads you can't help but love her :woot:

I heard Mayuko Iwasa was in this drama. Is she?? Does anyone have a Screen cap? :mrgreen:

Btw, I only wanna watch this for Mayuko Iwasa so do you think she has enough screen time to make it worth it?

Mayuko Iwasa is definitely in this drama, although she appears near the latter part of the drama. I would say she has a fair amount of screen time. Still, I recommend that you watch this drama. It's really interesting.

Yup, and she's also pregnant for most of the scenes. I didn't know she had so many fans!

So many? Are there others on this thread. I swear I thought I was the only one :nut: Pregnant though?? my gawdddd, I watch the series, wait for her to come out, and then she's pregnant. I am speechless.

Does she have long or short hair? Please be long, please be long :fingerscrossed:

She has long hair. :mrgreen: Ummmm... I dunno about fans in this particular thread, but there's a thread just on her. I was surprised to see it. I didn't know she was a gravure model...

ahh. Yea, her thread on here barely moves though, sadly.. what do you think about her? Is she pretty? lol She's a gravure model turned star/actress. Is that common in j-dramas? Come to think of it, I can't think of any gravure models in j-dramas. Maybe they're just hiding. :hehe:

Actually, there are plenty of those. Matsuura Ayava, Kago Ai, Watanabe Natsuna, to name a few. A lot of the MM girls got casted in dramas, although they don't necessarily get repeat offers.
