That's the kind of drama you just can't stop watching once you've started it. It has a unique story concept about love triang-quadri-pent-whatever that just doesn't allow you to stop after the episode has ended. Even though the first episode was kind of normal, immediately after the beginning of the second one you are already in the drama. However, after episode 7 it loses its quality starts swinging which is a shame since it could have been a lot better. The thing that I hated most about this drama's story is the fact that sometimes the action starts and after it started, understands where it should go. In other words, it's like character X goes to location Y without any reason and once he's there he sees that the plot can go on and forces it to continue, which allows a lot of deus ex machina, especially in the ending. Also there are still some elements unexplained after the last episode which is why the story's rating is no more than 8.5/10 The cast was really good, even though I didn't like all the characters (especially Besshii, brr) and the acting was really well done. I must admit that the two main roles were just perfectly played by their actors, notably Tenchou's actor (Matsuoka Masahiro) who was just flawlessly giving all he got to make me always laugh. The music is good, although not too remarkable but still good. And I really liked the ending song. So I would suggest from my experience, my life and my soul that you watch this drama.
