Clichés all over but who cares
wedding without parents and her family ?She is in a coma for 3 days but her parents are not in the hospital ??
She got stalked, in a car accident, and most of clichés
Even if those things bothered I couldn't help but loved it, that scene from ep 1 where Anri Chan wants to end her life because her sickness is getting her parents pay money for operations and hospital, she made me think about some mistakes parents do, only seeing their part of pain, forgetting that their child is in pain too, Sakura Chan, was the main character of the drama, she was certainly a Baka ? but really adorable, full of positive energy, the actress looked like a mix of Yoon Eun Hye and Park Shin hye,
Thank you little drama, binge watched in two days though I was in a drama slump.

High School Manga Tropes in Hospital Setting
This show was a little too syrupy for my taste. I really thought I was watching a high school manga made into a TV series. The way Sakura was portrayed reminded me of every romance manga I ever read as a youngster. The character cliches were rampant in this --the silly, love-sick girl goes after the unreachable, iceberg guy, the bumbling supporting characters who befriend the main leads, as well as the benign jealous ex, competing for the ML's attention. I have seen this so many times over and over, and over again. The only disturbing difference is that here the high school drama is taking place in a hospital setting among grown men and women.Our FL is the sweet girl cliche. She looks like a high school kid, acts like a high school kid, and when she acts extra goofy, reminds me of a deranged Easter bunny. She even has two extra long front teeth to boot! You can't help but love her and she tries really hard to make it so! Sakura is skillfully played by Mone Kamishiraishi.
Sakura meets Dr. Tendo in a street as a school girl and is so taken with him, that she decides right then and there to meet him again someday. This sets the course of her career path. It's kind of stalkerish behavior, but no one thinks it's weird and even encourage her to keep going after her childhood crush.
The only person not thrilled about this is Dr Tendo himself, played by the handsome Takeru Satoh, and our iceberg ML cliche. He doesn't have time for her nonsense and warns her off from the get-go. Here's the thing: there is no chemistry between these two. Never do I get the sense that Tendo even likes Sakura. I never believed in the romance between them for a moment because our ML doesn't have any internal monologue. He is a monotone, boring, wet blanket. Now, one might say that this is the point because Sakura is supposed to bring him out of his shell, but I never really see this happen until the last episode. It should be a subtle progression but he is so annoyed by her, nicknaming her "dimwit", that I asked myself why she even bothers. There were times when Takeru looked so bored, and annoyed, and like he hated every minute playing this role. I can't say I blame him. I would have enjoyed the drama as more a natural progression between grownups than the juvenile drama they actually went with. I think Takeru Satoh is miscast in this. He looks too serious and grown up to be doing these juvenile roles. At age 30, it's too much of a stretch.

Fell in Love with Dr. Tendo
I got into this j-drama without knowing it was a manga series. It was a first time in years I've watched a j-drama, and this one gave a lot of classic 90s j-drama feel, which I thoroughly enjoyed.At first, I wasn't convinced about the chemistry between the main characters, Dr. Tendo and Sakura, but eventually did with the character development. I loved them together! I was most impressed by Satoh Takeru's acting in this...He played serious and sarcastic and loving so well. I really enjoyed his performance the most.
The story here also clenches you, making you wonder what will happen next. It kept me guessing what was going to happen, which made this a fun series to watch. Definitely a worthwhile drama series to check out. I want to get the actual manga now, too!

forced situations
no chemistry
ML is suddenly in love with FL and no development with his charecter

This made my favs list
This is one of those dramas where u think it wont be that good, but then the more you watch it the more hooked you get.The fact that the main lead has character development and skills too is perfect, this is not one of those where the FM will simply be a pick me and annoy you through the whole thing.
This is a series about someone that experienced first loved and fought very hard for it, in return also finding herself and something she likes in the middle of it.
Deffo a must watch if u like something that will warm you up.
The ML took a few episodes to warm up to, but I mean it does makes sense on why he is so cold in the beginning.
Love Love Love this and deffo recommend.
I have rewatched it twice now and still love it.

So cute!
Omg! I loved watching this drama, it's a hidden gem. Sakura is such a sweet and couragous person, and her perseverance is really admirable. I am happy they did not portray her as the damsel in distress, useless female lead who just wants to run after a guy, but instead apart from having fallen in love with Tendo, she also wants to become an excellent nurse. There were no dumb misunderstandings and no scheeming by jealous side characters.. The relationships were really nice and there was no character that I did not like in particularly. The acting was also good and not cringy. This is an ideal series for people who need a light and fun watch!Was this review helpful to you?
The cutest and sweetest story about a girl's one-side love come true.
The story was fabulous, I espeacially loved how genuine she was with her love and how persevering she was. Even though she gut hurt she still never gave up and found her dream and now wants to follow it. Very beautiful story about how a crush changed a girl's whole course of life. And the acting was truly awesome. I loved the FL's acting the most, her expressions were just sooo on point and really really good. I really enjoyed the OST too. It's got a very nice feel to it. It had a lot of comedy in it. Overall It's a great drama with a very cute story about the one-side love of a girl come true and a truly truly entertaining rom com with a motivational drive and creative screenplay. + amazing direction and cinematography! Hats off to the cast and team! ??⚕️?????Was this review helpful to you?
Since release I've watched it 208 times!
Update as of today 10/9/22 - I have watched this 208 times since release! Since Viki put the show on I have watched it so many times. Previously I watched it on blitzfansub.comOriginal Review: 9/2/2021
I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love this little drama. I found it the day the first episode came out on January 14, 2020. I have watched this more times than any other show or movie in my 46 years of life! For me It’s definitely obsessive!
I bought the DVD box set back last year. I’ve have purchased and read the manga so to be able to see the drama adaptation makes it that much sweeter! I actually have a Satoh/Tendo Tattoo.
Satoh and Mone have so much chemistry. I watched them together in a previous comedy but this drama was written for them. I know Satoh is known for his action films which I love but for me romantic drama and comedies hit the mark! No one else could play Tendo and Mone is Nanase 100%. Due to Mone's age they changed some of it from the manga and normally I don't like when a book, manga, novel is changed but they did it right.
The supporting cast is awesome as well! The clothing and sets were great! The theme song is my ringtone!

The only JDrama that would love to binge again.
So I watched this while it was airing and it definitely was very engaging. I remember waiting every week to watch the next episode. Sakura nanase being refered to as the warrior and then her appearing in the costume was always so hilarious. Tendo Kairi was the typical cold ML but him being affectionate to patients was such a sight to see. What I liked about this drama is that they didnt sweep away the medical aspect of the drama. The medical and hospital scenes were relevant throughout the drama and also very realistic. All the patients and their stories felt so real. The ex was also not that over-bearing and hate worthy. Nothing was over the top or bland in the story. The cinematography was great specially when Kairi comes to Nanase's hometown and gives her a surprising backhug it was such a heart fluttering moment. I loved the way they shot that scene. I havent watched many jdramas and many of the times I was not that satisfied. But this Jdrama really hit the spot. Overall a good drama I would recommend to those who like me had hit or miss cases in Jdramas.Was this review helpful to you?
Cute little show, easy to binge.
Touching at times, ridiculous at others. Loved the characters and their relationships.FL is like an open book, so straightforward that it's completely disarming, even while causing second-hand embarrassment. She is unapologeticly her joyous and hopeful self.
ML is a dream, cool and level headed, attractive against all his seriousness, frowning, and sometimes even rudeness. The warmth radiating from inside becomes palpable.
In summary: fun, dynamic, good acting, enjoyed even clichés.

THE INCURABLE LOVE WE ALL DESIRE
I had never been a big fan of J-dramas and I had been putting off this for a while. Decided to give it a go and I absolutely loved the show. I am seeing the cast for the first time, I haven't seen any of their works before. Initially, I didn't like any of the leads but gradually I liked them. Especially Satoh Takeru has got a beautiful smile. Pity that his smile was shown more only in the finale episode.Nanase's character wasn't bland. But, I do feel its unrealistic about the plot: falling in love with a stranger within seconds and making him as a goal of your life. The idea might be dreamy but it was a bit hopeful; it made me believe in love and fate. A girl finally achieving her goal of marrying her first love and even having a successful career which enables her to work alongside her lover...didn't think I will like such a cheesy plot.
However, I couldn't bring myself to root for any of the side couples. The last couple of episodes were so good. I was laughing and blushing throughout episode 10 that my mother seriously considered sending me to an asylum. The OST is good and its music is often used as background score during dramatic scenes. Overall, a fine show!

One of the best romcoms
This was a really good show. Although sometimes the plot may seem a bit pushed, the comedy covers it well. Characters act very naturally and it is a show you'll want to binge in one shot. The music is also great (official hige-dandism). I think the story sometimes dragged but this was a small issue with all the comedy it had in each episode. If you like an funny, heartwarming show where you won't have to think too much, this is perfect.Was this review helpful to you?
