I know the story is supposed to be about her and her struggle....but who else is watching this because of Matsuda Shota and is just waiting for him to appear on screen...? lol

That would be me...just finished episode 3. Good drama so far. but I must admit a bit shamefully, that Shota was the draw. He's looking very amazing and I'm not sorry. Sweet dreams to me!

I finished the second episode and I agree so far it's a good drama, but my main reason for watching is the fine specimen of a man that is Shota-kun. I'm not sure if I would have upped the priority level if he wasn't in the credits....lol I'm hoping to have sweet dreams too...:D

I have to jump in on this too hehe. He was definitely the reason why I actually started watching it (I had it on my list for a while before). I have mixed feelings about the drama (I like it, but..), but I am 100% in until the end because he is soooo hot in it :)

Kawai...I have no idea how it happened...but this place has gone Shota Crazy the last two days. (I do know how it happened actually, but that's beside the point)

Shota CRAZYtown!

Actually I started watching this drama without knowing he was in it, so I guess I'm one of the few with "pure intentions" towards the drama! LOL

Although I do have to admit that after I discovered he was in it, it got better. =D

Jeanie, i know! lol i remember when I only had to share him with Lis. I hope he can handle being passed around like this. Of course his happiness is my primary concern, hehe.

Lis: Don't worry. There are many chances to enjoy his beauty after that part :-p!?!?!?!?!
