I didn't watch the anime version too. If I have watched the anime, I won't probably like the drama, just like Hana Yori Dango Taiwan version. But put this aside, I think what attracts me is how the Japanese film it as a typical Japanese way, slow and subtle.

I have nothing to compare but it really gets me into the story. I like the character development too. Reminds me of some campus love stories like Asunaro Hakusho.

I am at episode 7 but in each episode, something will happen or rather the story will get develop and get me into the next one.

LOL, I guess Ayumi likes Mayama in a way where some of us could probably do. It is realistic, I like the way how it really protrays, 'So near, yet so far.'

I like Morita senpai the most in the beginning, but now I think Takemoto attracts me with his down to earth character? I like his narration of his thoughts. It gives me a lot of thoughts.

I like Ayumi, I feel that she is like me. Haha.

I think Ayumi is one of my favorite parts of the series (anime and drama both).. she's so pathetic and hopeless, she can't help but be adorable.

Takemoto Yuta -> Kamiya Hiroshi & Ikuta Toma Really a tie between Toma and the anime's voice actor. Kamiya Hiroshi's narration voice are priceless, I really love when he's narrating his thoughts!!! Toma really is the BEST Takemoto, I can't think of anyone else. I think he seriously observed the anime first. Coz he talks EXACTLY the same way as Kamiya Hiroshi. The way he always put emphasize intonation on "XXXX jyanai desu kaaa~~??!" is VERY "Takemoto"!^^ He has really good chemistry with Narumi Riko too. I'm sorry to say, but Sakurai Sho failed to portray Takemoto, he was given a bad script(for Takemoto), and I don't think he did any research at all by reading the manga or watching the anime x) (trust me, Sho is my favorite member in Arashi!! ) Li Guo Yi is quite bad, esp. in the emotional scenes.

In my opinion, Sho portrayed Takemoto better than Ikuta Toma... Toma is a bit too 'girlish' to be Takemoto...

For Morita... ... I lost words... either Narimiya and Iseya portrayal of Morita are waaaaaay off... Too bad...

I this dama to be good
but after a few episodes I just suddenly stopped
And I didnt want to know what happens next
maybe its just me but the characters seem boring (except the sculptor)
and it move slowly specially for a jdorama
