Love you :)

He's always good. I am actually watching that drama at the moment haha
Also have you seen him in this drama? What a freaking fantastic performance.

Majority of Japanese dramas are not available legally with english subs. They are subbed by fansubbers 99% of the time. Also if you scroll down the drama page, there will be a comment stating who is subbing it, and where the raws/subs can be found.
Most of us in the community prefer watching the fansubbers subs rather than those on Viki/Netflix because the attention to detail and explanations the fansubbers provide is immaculate. Most of the netflix/viki subs are pretty lazy and don't translate the puns or provide context to the convos or cultural references dramas make.

This one felt like it was made in the 90s as it had the classic romance doramas feel, where one look and one touch was enough to make the leads' heart skip a beat. I wish there was more focus on the romance, rather than the controlling husband and mother-in-law. But oh well I guess they were going for the melodrama.
I won't really recommend it unless you're a fan of Kusanagi Tsuyoshi because he steals the show in every drama with his sincere performance. It's not a bad drama, but it isn't great either.

Sigh.. I wish I could find the subs to this.

HAHA your comment made me laugh.
I'm almost finishing it and it is rather melodramatic, though the leads' interactions definitely had the classic romance doramas feel.

Catchy songs, beautiful visuals and a cute story overall. This was a fun watch :)

And thank you for posting about this. I watched it thanks to you and my day is made. I had such a good time :)

OMG THERE IS A SEQUEL?!
HOW THE HELL AM I HEARING IT ABOUT THIS SO LATE
*immediately begins watching*
*also crying happy tears to see our chaotic trio back*

Couldn't agree more :)

Only Japan could make something so original, entertaining, and smart.
A creative plot, masterful writing, quirky dialogues and perfect casting - Bakarhythm YOU GENIUS! This movie made my day :)
Highly recommended for all!

He's written some really beautiful dramas :)

I just realised I've seen so many of his dramas. He's such an underrated actor who always delivers sincere performances.

A decent coming-of-age romcom with a loveable FL and a playboy who finally learn to be independent, take charge of their lives and cherish what's important. Even though this classic is 25 years old, it remains as relevant and relatable as ever, both in its moments of frustration and growth. I enjoyed the constant banter between the leads, as much as the emotionally stirring moments. Their chemistry was just lovely.
Definitely worth a one time watch :)

The ML has such double standards. Judges Aya for sleeping with men to get work when he does the same for pleasure.
Also he treats the FL like trash. Their date in the beginning of E8 broke my heart with her being all giggly while he just wanted to get away from her. If someone loved me the way the FL loved the ML, I'd do everything I can for them.

I'm assuming you're looking for romances -

Poor Chigusa :((

Really? I find raws easily. It's the subs I generally have problem finding. Also there used to be a site raredoramas with all the raws but it doesn't seem to exist anymore. You know anything about the site or where they moved to?
