Wonderful Drama
I've seen this drama since 2001. I was 15 years old at that time. This drama made my feeling so trong, happy, and live with all the status of the characters, and the story. I like the cakes in this drama very much. They were so beautiful. This drama give me more knowledge about Japanese's culture. And the acting of the actors and actress is so wonderful.They made the good feeling, good memories in my heart.
I want to say thanks to director, all the actors and actresses and miss them so much, although they get older by time.
