I started watching this jdrama rather reluctant - Kimutaku as T100 protecting someone from the past.
It proved to have a slow start and addictive by the second episode.
The series is about love, hence the whole scifi part shouldn't be taken into account (IMHO) more than the love part.
I believe that at most one can go as far as considering the A.I. gaining self-will as a result of advanced design and interaction with human beings.
The special effects are decent - not overdone.
The characters I liked:
- Kimutaku played very well - I liked how he managed to portray the scientist and the robot - a bit of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
- Suppli was great - childish enough to warm your heart, yet mature when it mattered.
- The detective was a mixture of rebel without cause and blade runner cop.
The soundtrack was touching.

I recommend watching it!

Seeing 4 women under the same roof made me reluctant at first, so it was a slow-start drama for me. Characters are good - each one grows and has it's own spice to add.
At times maybe there is too much emphasis on nostalgia...but that was alright since Takahashi Katsumi was also in and "cooled" things down.
Overall a good drama to watch - even the cat goes to the bar and gets to be told to go home.

The first I saw of Takahashi Katsumi was in Shomuni and the first of Matsuda Shota was in Meitantei no Okite.
I was kind of expecting Takahashi Katsumi to be grand, but I was surprised of Matsuda Shota's ability to portray Sabashima-san.
Both characters are Don Quixote in their own way and, more than that, one could see the two characters developing throughout the episodes.
Also the supporting staff is very good.
The cliches used did a very good job of embossing the huge gap between the street gangster and the otaku-like Shirota.
Hat down for the way this drama was shot and the camera movements.
The spanish style soundtrack added quixote flavor to it.
I would accept someone's complaint that sometimes the kids weren't so convincing that they were mistreated (dark joke), but I enjoyed the drama and I laughed each episode e2e.
It may not look like it, but this drama will Pow-Thwak-Bangbang! you.

The first orange thing cough my eye - right in EP1 when Kai picks the orange out of the tree.
Nicely shot and with strong story behind.
The actors look like beginners, but that soon changes as the tale unfolds.
From my POV this drama is underrated, but yet there aren't many votes there.
Very good drama and worth your while.
