Dark, Intense Drama that Leaves You Anticipating f

I really like this drama. Normally, I would prefer to watch happy, funny shows but this one really grabbed me attention. It's different, that's for sure, and very suspenseful. I really loved the story to it and the plot in general. The end of every episode leaves you wanting more, and you don't want to stop watching.

At first, Kimura Takuya seemed kind of stalker creepy but I warmed up to him as I continued to watch the show. All the actors did a really good job in this show. It was very convincing and all of them delivered great performances.

I wasn't expecting that ending. It totally shocked and surprised me. I was literally speechless for a long time. And the fact that Minako and Naoki's relationship turned out to be different than a romantic one surprised me also. For a little while, that was also weird/nasty because of how their relationship was before she found out.

Overall, I like this drama because it's a lot different and more intense than the other Kimura Takuya dramas I have previously seen. It's very suspenseful and leaves you wanting more at the end of each episode. What made this drama watchable was not necessarily the plot, but the characters themselves. They are all very complex, quirky, and different in their own ways. Especially Shibasaki Kou and Kimura Takuya's characters. They are both very dark yet can retain that childlikeness to them.

What really get me weirded out with this drama was the last couple of episodes, especially ending. A part of me knew it was coming but the whole idea of it kinda creeped me out. A lot. The ending was really sad and depressing, but I think that's the only way you can end this type of drama.

I think Kimura Takuya did a really good job in this drama. This shows that he can also play the evil/bad guy, not just the hero/good protagonist all the time. His character was really despicable in this drama but at the same time, he's so damn charming so you cannot help but end up liking him.

Absolutely amazing drama. A very touching and inspiring story about such a diverse group of friends. I love the chemistry between Kai and Sae. On their own they are really complicated people, but they do complete each other. It makes you want to believe in true love and the courage to move forward in times of hopelessness. Shibasaki Kou is so wonderful in this drama. She had me believing there for a second that she was actually deaf. Her performance in this show is brilliant.

I really enjoyed this drama. It's so touching and heartwarming. I liked watching the relationships between the characters, and the dynamics between them. Very nice story about having the will to live on.

The ending totally devastated me though. I was totally reeling from it. Definitely a tear jerker.

There's really nothing to say except wow. This story is truly inspiring and beautiful. I have never felt this touched before when watching a drama. Aya-san's story is truly breathtaking. She had so much courage in the face of her disease.

Props to all the actors and actresses in this series. Everyone became the characters and gave excellent performances.

This should be on everyone's MUST SEE list.

This was my first drama that I've watched so it holds a special place in my heart. When I saw the first episode, I thought "You gotta be kidding me." After watching the 2nd and 3rd episodes, I warmed up to it and fell in love with the story. It's so fun and so heartwarming at the same time. It is a little cheesy but so cute!!

MatsuJun is awesome. I totally fell in love with him in this drama. He's so good and so adorable, it's awesome. I love the way he portrays Doumyouji so that he actually has a quirky personality.

Yes, so many beautiful people in this drama. Especially the F4.

Before watching the drama, I saw the movie a couple of weeks ago. I really liked the movie and was curious to see how the drama would compare.

This drama is one of the best I have seen. It's so touching and so very heartbreaking. Yamada Takayuki and Ayase Haruka both deliver brilliant performances. They not only portrayed the characters wonderfully, but became them. You can feel whatever they are feeling when you watch them perform. This drama shows how now matter how painful situations become, you just have to keep on going and living life.

Definitely have a box of tissues with you when you watch this drama. I love it!!
