This drama is about a guy (Mizushima Kenzo acted by Kishitani Goro) who is working in a matchmaking agency. He reunites with his daughter (13 years old) whom he has not seen for more than 10 years. The lady, Hatsuki, has just been jilted by her boyfriend of 3 years. Her sister signs her up with the matchmaking agency one day after Hatsuki's breakup. Kenzo eventually matchmakes her with an eligible doctor but ends up liking her instead. Does Kenso end up with Hatsuki eventually? Watch the drama to find out.........

Typical guy meets girl. Guy is head over heels with girl but unsure whether feeling is mutual. They all strive to study hard so as to get into the Prestigious Tokyo University. Viewers get to see a very young Takenouchi Yutaka (quite a funny sight).

29-sai no Kurisumasu 1994 · Fuji TV

Slow!

I didn't like the ending. A bit too realistic. I think dramas should have some elements of dreaminess and fairy tale qualities.

2001 no otoko un 2001 · Fuji TV

This show is cute.

This was the first time I watched Kanno Miho and Oshio Manabu. The chemistry between them (as friends) is quite good. Quite a fun drama!

Yome wa mitsuboshi 2001 · TBS

Quite a funny drama

15 Apr 2002

Quite a funny drama but what a sad ending. Why couldn't Yoshino end up with Morita. That would be quite interesting. A bit like Majo no Jouken. Ha Ha!

Taburoido 1998 · Fuji TV

Can give it a miss

All quite famous cast - Tokiwa, Tomosaka and Kashiwabara. But the storyline is a let down. Could have been more interesting if there were more romantic involvement.

Style! 2000 · TV Asahi

Give this a miss

1 / 10

15 Apr 2002

It's a bit like the British comedy May I serve you? It's about life in a department store. Its stars Motoki Masahiro and Takeuchi Yuko. Motoki heads a personal shopper's department. This department recommends shopper's what to wear at no extra charge. Some touching stories but too draggy. No romantic links in this drama. Makes it worse.

Straight news 2000 · NTV

Not too bad

5 / 10

15 Apr 2002

This drama is quite serious unlike Female announcer. It also stars Yonekura Ryoko. This drama features some unkowns but their performance is not bad.

Shiroi kage 2001 · TBS

Touching drama

15 Apr 2002

A bit slow but it's a good drama. Enjoyed watching Nakai & Takeuchi. However, the ending is very sad.

Seikimatsu no uta 1998 · NTV

HUH?????

15 Apr 2002

I never knew what went on in this drama. This is also one of the non mainstream dramas. Please watch it if you like Love Complex.

Seija no koushin 1998 · TBS

Not your normal cup of tea

4 / 10

15 Apr 2002

Quite a dark drama. A bit like Miseinen. Not the main stream kind of drama. Not for those who like happy shows.

Sayonara, Ozu Sensei 2001 · Fuji TV

Quite interesting but a bit slow

5 / 10

15 Apr 2002

Not too bad for a high school drama. Good performance from the kids. For those who like basketball and watching Tamura.

Saigo no koi 1997 · TBS

Sad but good ending

6 / 10

15 Apr 2002

Not too bad. Good performance from Takako but a bit sad in the middle.

Risou no kekkon 1997 · TBS

Good Chemistry!

7 / 10

15 Apr 2002

I liked watching Yutaka and Takako in this drama. Their families are at loggerheads throughout the whole drama but they get to live happily ever after.

Psychometrer eiji Season 2 1999 · NTV

Not a bad drama

6 / 10

15 Apr 2002

I get to watch Mrs. Kimura Takuya (Shizuka Kudo) for the first time. I think Matsuoka is quite cool in this drama. Quite interesting to watch.

Oda Nobunaga 1998

Good performance from Takuya

8 / 10

15 Apr 2002

This is my first time watching Takuya in period costume. Good performance! Should watch! Not draggy at all.

Narita Rikon 1997 · Fuji TV

A lot of quarrelling!!!

3 / 10

15 Apr 2002

Too much quarreling in this drama. The couple are seen quarreling from the start to the end of the drama. How frustrating!

Mukodono! 2001 · Fuji TV

MUST WATCH!!!!!

15 Apr 2002

I have watched and re-watched this drama many times. Good beginning good ending. Just a bit sad towards the middle and just before the ending. Be prepared to laugh a lot. Many touching scenes. Best performance from Nagase. Started to like him after watching this drama!

Mouichido kisu 2000 · NHK

Slowest Movie of all time!!!!!!!

1 / 10

15 Apr 2002

A good performance from the Korean girl (same as the one from Fighting Girl). BUT.......please give it a miss and spend your money on other better dramas.

Miseinen 1995 · TBS

Quite a dark drama

4 / 10

15 Apr 2002

Something like the Japanese version of Stand By Me. Shingo's performance of a low IQ boy is good. A bit gangster type of drama. What do you expect from Sorimachi? A surprising appearnce by Hamazaki Ayumi. She acts as a teen who gets pregnant. Rare sight!!!

Messengers 1999

Fantastic Movie!!!!

8 / 10

15 Apr 2002

Very Funny and it's good entertainment. Very good performance from Kusanagi and Ijima. Must watch for everybody!!!

Love Story 2001 · TBS

A must buy

7 / 10

15 Apr 2002

A good drama. But I agree with the above reviews.Not enough love scenes betwen Nakayama & Etsuhi. Shingo and Yuka are good in this drama also.

Konna koi no hanashi 1997 · Fuji TV

The theme song is good.

15 Apr 2002

Won't regret watching this drama. Nanako's performance is good. First time watching Tamaki acting and thought his performance is good.

Koi no katamichi kippu 1997 · NTV

Only worth watching for Goro

5 / 10

15 Apr 2002

The only thing worth watching is Goro. Esumi's performance is quite bland in this drama. Goro looks a bit like Aaron Kowok (the nerdy look) in this drama. Quite handsome.

Kabachitare! 2000 · Fuji TV

A not too easy to understand drama

4 / 10

15 Apr 2002

Only for Takako's fans. Quite difficult to understand at times. But interesting to watch. Not the kind of drama that makes you sleep.

Imagine 2000 · Fuji TV

A feel good movie

7 / 10

15 Apr 2002

I actually liked this drama although some might find it slow. The romance between Fukada and Nakamura is quite sweet.

Hikon Kazoku 2001 · Fuji TV

Slow Drama

4 / 10

15 Apr 2002

Can give this drama a miss. It's quite slow at times. A bit draggy. I thought Yosuke would end up with one of the ladies but he ended up with none.

Hatachi no kekkon 2000 · TBS

A good, light hearted drama

7 / 10

15 Apr 2002

I enjoyed this drama more than most popular dramas. This should be one of Oshio Manabu's earlier performance. A bit raw but the chemistry is there between him & Yuka. It's fun with a lot of family squabbles.

Hakusen nagashi 1996 · TBS

Slightly overated.

5 / 10

15 Apr 2002

Nagase was not too bad in this drama but I think this drama has been overated as it was a bit slow in the middle. For those who like high school drama. Not for those who like happy dramas.

Gakkou no sensei 2001 · TBS

Good Drama

7 / 10

15 Apr 2002

This is one of the better dramas from Tsuyoshi. Not dark and quite funny. Takeuchi's character is quite tom boy. Interesting to watch the little squibbling between her and Tsuyoshi.

Ai wo kudasai 2000 · Fuji TV

Quite a dark drama

5 / 10

14 Apr 2002

I like the ending but the process was a bit draggy. Ito Hideaki had to act the role of the reserve player. So poor thing!

Love complex 2000 · Fuji TV

Worst Drama of All Time!!!!!!

1 / 10

12 Apr 2002

This is definitely not for those who like normal dramas. Dramas should be light hearted and not so heavy handed. Must be one of Sorimachi's worst dramas. Better spend your money on other dramas!

Saotome Typhoon 2001 · TV Asahi

Only for Beach Lovers

3 / 10

12 Apr 2002

This show is definitely only for beach lovers. The whole drama evolves around the beach and about Nato (a kind of Japanese bean). Better to spend your money on other dramas.

Handoku 2001 · TBS

Bad Ending

5 / 10

12 Apr 2002

Had a lot of expectations for this show but fell short of a lot people's expectations. Why is Nagase always acting like a gangster? Was he ever a gangster? He is more convincing as a gangster than a doctor!

Koi wo nan nen sundemasu ka? 2001 · TBS

Not a bad drama

6 / 10

12 Apr 2002

This drama is surprisingly quite interesting. Ito Hideaki gave quite a good performance in this drama. It was a new change to see young guy falling in love with an older woman. The ending gives you a feel good kind of feeling.
