Some lessons to be learnt though abit unreal becos the series has to show these lessons in 11 episodes. But I like it overall.

Stupid show. Exaggerated and totally ridiculous plot. I gave it a chance till episode 3 and then thought I better spend time wisely watching other doramas.

Silly, unrealistic, some dialogues don't make sense. Shun tried too hard to be dreamy! Typical Japanese ridiculous plot BUT superbly entertaining! Afterall it's manga right? Hahaha!

Many people luv this but I belong to the minority. Whinning big man that gets on my nerves. Reminds me of a typical K drama with an overdone sentimental love. Nothing special. I enjoy the cinematography and scenery though..

I love the cast. I love the storyline. Love Yuko's thoughts. Itoh was very gd-looking in the drama. Ending is believable and realistic. Heart-warming. One of the best dramas I've watched! I guess it's not meant for younger generation cuz they may not be able to relate to the problems women in their 30s face.

Makes you appreciate your health and life better. Gd values instilled, great soundtrack by K, great acting, heart-rending story without nonsensical tragedy. The vcd last me for 4 days and 4 days I had puffy eyes. ENough said. A classic for collection!

Hilarious! Cute! When the main cast is together, the audience gets to read the wacky thoughts that go through their mind and it's really funny. Pace is fast so it's gd for impatient audience. Plot is a true portrayal of a Japanese woman's dilema and obstacles about getting married when she's reached her 30s. The only drawback is the lead actor's stone acting and some very typical unbelievable "dorama" scenes. Hmm... I think nore situable for older women audience (than younger audience) who shares same sentiments as the lead actress...

The beginning was very good but story did not pick up later on. I like how the story depicts the dark side of medical healthcare and leaves viewers feeling paranoid about trusting doctors. Issues are very real and thought-provoking. Idealism vs practicality.

Quite a typical dorama about sportsman fighting spirit but some good and touching scenes though...

So-so though some scenes are very funny. For the first time I prefer the lead actor to be with the supporting actress rather than lead as she's so annoyingly materialistic and face-conscious!

A frog & princess plot. Train man is very annoying who loves to cry while Saori is unbelievably tender. The couple looks odd together. Not my kind of drama. However the internet chat and characters are very entertaining. I'd say this drama gives hope to below-average looking men... hehehe... for audience with lots of compassion towards low self esteem people.

Watch this if you share the above! I am a foodie myself who can cry over food so I share the same sentiments as the charac in the show. The humour is also very tickling, a delightful show that makes you happy!

Typical merry-go-round drama! My friend cried like hell but to me it felt like a broken record. It was touching initially but got on my nerves after a while when incidents kept disrupting the romance just when it was about to bloom. Why so tragic?! The writer got carried away & threw logic out of the window, hahaha. I watched all the way because of Kaneshiro. Soundtrack by Luna Sea was very unforgetable.

I like the unexpected ending, I have a fetish for dark plot. But this drama's beginning is too unneccesary & has no relation to its main plot, although Kimura's fans would enjoy watching him act as a cool weirdo. Better if it is condensed into fewer episodes.

Sweet & heart-warming, portrayed graduates' dilema about pursuing their dream careers. It's not a drama that gave me yo-yo feelings, it's like a pleasant drive along the moutain highways, maybe if I were abt to graduate now I would feel more for this show. I do enjoy it overall, it just doesn't linger in my mind that's all. Satoshi is a talented & cute actor. I don't find Kou that pretty but she definitely acted well (I have had a few mute neighbours before so I know how they behave)

Quite a gd suspense drama, but the ending was too abstract for me to understand and I felt kind of cheated by the ending after all the emotions up & down I went through ;-(

If you can get pass the first 3 episodes which progress rather slowly, you will fall in love with this one. The delivery by the director is like you are seeing it from the characters' eyes so you feel like you are a part of the story. Shiki's love and strength touches me deeply. Kanno Miho's acting is indeed superb! Subtle yet naturally convincing. The story portrays the different types of love & sacrifice in times of obstacles. Very moving story that lingers in my mind even after I've finished watching. Beautiful soundtrack too.

I think most people either like it or hate it. It made me a little uncomfortable but strangely I enjoyed the uneasiness it gave me because social oddities like this do happen in life. If you pay close attention to the intended message of this drama, you will appreciate it more. Mom's obsessed jealousy about her son, the society discrimination about student-teacher love affair, the dilema & struggle of doing the "right" things to please the society rather than yourself etc. Many good colloquial dialogues as well. Love can happen anywhere at anytime to anyone. Very bold of the writer to attempt something like this that can make the audience squirm. It brought Takizawa to fame! I'm adding this drama to my collection for sure!

Great drama, touching & makes you reflect (just like what most jdrama are capable of doing to its audience). I cried even from episode one! Touches on family love, BGR love, justice & social pressure. It makes you question if sometimes it's worth it afterall to know the truth, especially if it's at high cost (maybe the really young audience may not understand its underlying values so they find it boring..?) The plot may not be extraordinary but the emphasis on the values in this drama is deep and emotional. I'm sure Takizawa's fans would have watched his great performance in this, if not, it's a must-see! I bought the dvd for keepsake, that's how good it is to me!

Are you into fairy tale jap story? Well, me too but I luv this drama nevertheless despite its realistic plot. But life is like that sometimes, you enjoy the moment while it lasts and you have to go back to a more practical world. The show doesn't just centre around the main couple and good if you find tight plots boring. It shows you the lives of the other minor characters too. As what the title says, the two main charac find themselves developing a special chemistry more than just friendship OVERTIME. It tells you sometimes the pretty person you admire may not be your soulmate afterall but your buddy who click well with you grows on you subconsciously. The last few episodes will touch you so deeply you will fnd your face streaking with only warm tears. Because it's real it touches hearts. Very heartwarming which makes you want to hug the pillow and shriek and sigh. Ending puts viewers in a thinking mode and reflect life. Not for viewers who cannot cope with the true bittersweet symphony of life. My first fav jap drama. Cute cast too.

AWESOME!! SIMPLY AWESOME!! This is a quirky and sweet story with two very lovable characters (Kyon & Surumi) which also add to viewers' visual feast. Just as most Jap drama are, there are a few unbelievable scenes in the show but they do not spoil the flavour of the whole show. You hear Kyon's inner voice in this drama throughout which brings you into his struggles in his world and makes the development of the plot even more touching to viewers. He slowly finds courage to fight for unconventional love. There are some very touching scenes too when one's love could never be requitted despite her patience. The funny neighbours also add to the whole enjoyment. The plot may not be something extraordinary but the couple's chemistry and how the story echoes love paradox makes you can't help but fall in love with it. I was sad that the drama ended because I wanted to see so much more :-( A vcd for keepsake for sure! It's a show capable to make you cry while laugh at the same time. RECOMMENDED FOR THOSE WHO LIKE ROMANCE COMEDY! BUT not for people who prefer traditional or tragic love stories or can't stand younger guy & older woman relationships.
