Kotoko is accepted into Tonan University, so she busies herself with trying to give Naoki good luck for his National Center Test, but she just makes things worse. So she follows him to make sure everything's alright for his University of Tokyo entrance exam, but collapsing from appendicitis along the way causes him to miss the test. Full of guilt, she leaves the house but Naoki convinces her to stay, telling her he will be attending Tonan University too.

Kotoko's Way too Annoying

I was seriously annoyed with Kotoko watching this episode. Like SERIOUSLY annoyed. Also, acute appendicitis isn't just treated with meds. It requires surgery. The writers need to pay closer attention to detail. However irritating, I still wanted to see what happened next (all while cringing).

The ass is still an ass

Terrible. This girl is mental. No idea why I'm still watching.
She makes the loser a charm, which has no interest in as usual because he still hates her and she is still in love with him. He is about to throw it away and bad things happen, which he blames all on the charm (including his friend).
He has an accident and everyone proceeds to think of Kotoko as a terrible person, because of the charm. She even makes him lunch which he rolls his eyes around at. Then his friend tells Kotoko about Naoki's bad luck is all her fault because of the charm. She makes him a chocolate valentine for after the exam. We all know he isn't interested!
Despite this, Naoki still treats her like rubbish but she is still wonderful to him. She proceeds to get acute appenditis and he doesn't notice. She collapses and he sees and takes her to the hospital. Not because he loves her, but because he had plenty of time to take his exam. Not sacrificing his time for her at all.
Then Kotoko's father goes down on his knees about a terrible daughter he has and all of that! Because she was involved with the charm business and Naoki not taking his exam. Goodness sakes!
She decides to run away, and he turns up behind her, I finally think he cares for her.... NOPE he couldn't sleep. He coldly tells her to go on. She still follows him like a puppy. He tells her it's because of her things happen in his life. Which has never felt before (fear ..accidents etc). Which seems 'oh so romantic' but it isn't. She is clingy and she needs to find someone who respects her!

In the end Naoki decides to eat the chocolate valentine she made him. His first bite of anything she has made. He doesn't like it. She wishes on a shooting star yet again, They both look out at the falling snow.
Could this mean something finally happens? Doubt it! Haha.
Bored as hell, so I keep watching this disgusting 'romance'. Sorry to offend, but he is an asshole!
Get with Rin...but I know she doesn't. Which sucks

The charm

It's fearsome what a charm can do! Woah, it's like bringing Kotoko's bad luck around.

I wasn't very impressed with this ep but I liked the parts they added like the festival at the beginning of the ep and the struggle that Naoki had to go through because of that charm but the rest of the ep wasn't very interesting mainly because this is not my favorite part of the story.

All I can think of is that preview! It's actually the ep I've been waiting for ever since this drama started plus it seems they added more exciting things! Next ep, come now!

This is torture!! I can't wait for next episode

Ok finally he epens up to us a little...
I can't stop drooling over him and by the way almost every BADLUCK he had on the examday we have it just like this and get excited over our results. So I'm so happy to find out she made his nervous on this exam day kekeke... Finally he realizes he has feelings as well :)

I love her acting too, she is so shining and pure. Love it! I think the chemistry is there!

A good development!

Wow, everything is totally fast paced! I think this is a good sign that the depth of their story will be pushed through until the events happening after their marriage. (This is just a vague wish though!)
But, yeah, this episode is very cool! This is the turning point of which Irie will be experiencing things he had never experienced before. :) Nice going plot! Kotoko is better that the previous "kotoko" versions of this drama, in here, she has depth. I mean she has something that despite her clumsiness and stupidness, one can say she's cool. She's cool in a sense that despite being the most annoying character, she has that "glow" that makes her shine. Other "kotoko" portrayals failed to emphasize this, that's why I'm loving this version more. :) In this episode, there was more scenes of Irie, and I can see the development between the two leads, though I think It would be still like more than 2 or 3 episodes before the the actual romance will start. (just guessing!)
Anyways, I'm getting crazy for the next episode! Waiting for it was a complete torture! :)

Awesome!

Less 'major' scenes or development in this one, except one of my favourites towards the end of the episode! You really start to see how much Naoki and Kotoko are meant for each other in this, with how she gives him experiences he's never had before, and how he looks after her (taking her to the hospital and knowing exactly what to say to make her feel happier again). Anyone who doubts how well-suited they are will begin to understand that they really are in this one. This is, for me, the major development that is given to us in this episode.

Another great episode this week, and I can't wait for the next one!

Seriously. It's going to be great. :D
