Very enjoyable J-drama
This was the first Japanese TV drama I saw (not including anime, of course!) and really made me fall in love with them. The story is enjoyable, paced nice and slow, and lets the characters find their way in a way that felt natural. The beach-side setting is beautiful, and the soundtrack is great. Karina as Natsuke is wonderful and adorable in every way. She is an absolute love!What could be more "J" than this exchange from the end of episode 8?
Natsuke: Ahhh! The beer here is the best!
Asahi: Hey, did your skin turn whiter?
Natsuke: Of course! I'm from Tokyo.
Asahi: [smiles and chuckles]
... and then cuts to the fantastic theme song and end credits.
Overall a great show, at least to my taste. Originally saw it on Viki.
