This drama is very very GOOD. Not just good, but very very GOOD. The theme is probably common, which is Love, but somehow this one gives a different kind of feeling. The theme seems to be much broader than only about the love between two people; it's also about friendship, life and dreams. Still sounds common the way I say it, doesn't it? Just watch it and you'll get what I mean. The storyline is wonderful, the dialogues are amusing (in a witty way) and very very moving. Moreover, I also think the series is well paced; I didn't get the draggy feeling at all, I only wanted more! Not too mention, the acting is very good. The casts truly did a good job. And finally, I can never get enough of Kai-kun. He is the sweetest male character I've ever encountered in a drama. You'd really be touched by all the things he'd said and done to/for Sae. I have always wished for a second season ever since I finished watching it. I know it's impossible but hey, one can dream, right? Anyway, I highly recommend those who haven't watched this one to watch it. It is definitely one of my favourite Japanese series ever.
