  I don't know why this drama hasn't got more fans. Personally, I thought it was very well acted, modern, with a lovely photography and enough romance to satisfy the romantics among us.
  
  The plot is neither shallow nor particularly predictable. Until the end, the viewer does not know if the romance between the leads will have a future or not, because apart from the age difference - which isn't that big anyway - there are other, more important obstacles: opposite stances towards work and life in general, different social status, dissimilar goals. The good aspect of this love story based upon differences is that both learn one from the other. It's not the dramatic change of one of them overnight, in the name of love or another equally unrealistic reason.
  The best part of the plot lies in the dialogues, though. They are clever, at times hilarious, at others quite deep. I loved learning of the process behind the creation of an advertisement, and why those people are often referred to as "the creatives".
  
  The acting was very good, although I must admit at not having been swept away by Itoh Misaki's performance. There were times when she felt wooden and unconvincing. This lowers my acting mark to an 8, which would have been otherwise flawless, since everybody else did a great job, including Kame.
  
  The music isn't my favourite, but it was chosen with great sense and is very fitting with the story told and the setting.
  
  The photography deserves a mention too: there are some beautiful screen shots throughout this show. I can still see them with my mind's eyes today, more than 4 years after I've watched the drama. They are meant to create a visual pattern, parallel images which create a nice contrast between the incompatibility of the two main leads in the world of words, and the harmony between them on a more emotional level.
  
  I will rewatch it. It gave me an energy shot at the time, therefore I keep it for future need of the same. read more

  I love this drama, I have watched it over 5 times. one thing I like a lot about this is that there is a lot of focus on the work environment which was a really refreshing perspective.I love how the main female character carries herself it is quite admirable and relate-able. There is great balance between tone of the drama, it is just the right amount of funny and serious.
  
  I recommend this drama if you are looking for a very light-hearted, sweet, and realistic drama.
  I loooooove this drama.

  Both has similar story about younger man and older woman. Kimi wa Petto has more comedy though. Sapuri is more realistic. Both are really good dramas and both has main male lead from Johnny's.
