was originally put off by the idea of shuffling lovers week by week and couldn't understand how the storyline would flow, therefore didn't expect much from it. turned out that it's a really nice drama with a few pleasant surprises. very different to the typical jdorama. would def recommend this to anyone. absolutely love the background music - light and refreshing.

i was told there wouldn't be too much weigh on the love elements in this drama and i thought i wouldn't like it as i LOVE watchinig teary romantic bits in a jdorama.

however i didn't find hero boring and it kept me watching from the start to the end. the supporting cast is great. love the way the director shot the scenes from random angles. very funny to see kimura takuya's addiction of tele-sales products.

great acting by the cast. i don't usally get hooked by stories which involved too much politics but i greatly enjoy this one! good to see kimura takuya taking up this kind of refreshing role rather than his usual hero-type love-eccentric role. nice try.
would love to see teppei staying strong and tough as usual rather than going to this path he chose at the end - kind of discouraging to see him giving up and running away from things after all his courageous fight with the others. kimura and hasegawa look perfect as a couple! hope to see them as an on-screen pair more often.
