This drama was very well put together. It really shows how bullying has really changed over the years. I was bullied, but nowhere's near the same as now. This drama really showed how it isn't just physical, but emotionally bullied as well. It really kept you guessing who waa really at the root of some of the bullying, a very real psychological bullying kind of movie. A real eye opener.

The acting was really superb, Yonekura Ryoko really did a superb job, for an actor that I've only seen play comedies, she really shone in this drama. Awesome job.

Just an all around well put together drama on bullying. Some very valuable lessons to learn, what to watch for today concerning bullying. I learned a lot, how to help my kids, etc.

A most definite 10 for this one, in my most humble opinion.

For once another rarity where the gentres Comedy and Romance holds true, unlike some others that say romance where there is no romance, and romance mistaken for betrayal. All in all this was another rare find of an all around nice and beautiful romantic comedy.

Very well put together storyline, very well balanced between comedy and romance. It was funny when needed and equally serious when needed. The acting was superb, Yonekura Ryoko and Shiina Kippei really brought this drama to life with their awesome acting. The music was very well balanced as well.

I was extremely frustrated from watching a couple of most terrible dramas and this was my pick me up. Laughter is the best medicine, and this drama was just that with a nice romance mixed in with it.

A most definite 10 in my books in my most humble opinion. A must watch.

Very cute romantic drama. There weren't any love triangles where both girls were fighting for the boy, it was a good love triangle if you could call it that. Just an all around cute and nice drama. It most definitely is a late night drama. Very well balanced story, and kept you wondering who he's going to end up with right to the last episode.

The story line was such that it kept you guessing who he's going to end up with, the actors, great actors/actresses, I thought that Kitagawa Hiromi really shone in this drama, she really did an awesome job in this drama, my hat's off to Kitagawa Hiromi. The music was really great. They really fine tuned what music to have and when to have it, just a very well put together drama. I'd watch this one over again and several times.

Just an all around cute, funny, and lovable drama!!! :)

Most definitely a must watch in my most humble opinion. The plot, the story line takes a real turn about halfway through, didn't see it coming. It really left me speechless. You couldn't get better actors for this movie, and the music, wow. I need to go out and get me a Mandolin. I would watch this again for sure. It was a very heartwarming and funny in spots, and I would highly recommend someone to watch this one. A real rarity for Japanese dramas or movies. A definite 10, a masterpiece.

Get your tissues ready for this one, a real tear jerker for sure. A real masterpiece. A real tale of a beautiful father/daughter relationship, and the hardships they go through. I don't think they could have chosen a better actor/actress combination in this drama, you couldn't have gotten a better actor than Toyokawa Etsushi for this character, likewise with Ashida Mana, she just shone in this drama. I could watch this one a million times and never get sick of it. Just an all around beautiful story line and the music just added to it.

A most definite watch...

As the other review said, very heartwarming, and a most beautiful love story. Get your tissue's ready as this drama really tugs at your heartstrings. I found the actors/actresses very well balanced with really great chemistry between all parties involved. It really shows how nothing/dislike, maybe even strong dislike can become such a great passionate love between two people. I found the music was very well done as well. The story was well written and thought out. It is a most definitely to watch over again and again.

A real masterpiece...

Firstly, where was the romance? Just because someone liked someone else and there were a couple of side relationships other than the main actors it's decided that it's a romance? Wow, people get a LIFE!!!!!

This was a very strange, weird and dumb movie, there was no comedy, drama it was, but romance and comedy, NOT!!!!!

Great music and actors are the only good thing to this movie. Sad that it turn out to be such a terrible movie when some really great actors/actresses were in it.

Huge disappointment for sure!!!

Where is the romance? How can you call betrayal romance? This cannot be called a romance, whomever thinks that this was a romance is sick, twisted, shallow, and needs to get a real life. This was all about betrayal from beginning to end. I wouldn't recommend this drama to my worst enemy!!! It was a sick, despicable drama that doesn't deserve to be watched even by my dog.

How on earth can this be called a romance? It has some really great artists, but the main actress in this drama, three's no other way to describe her as shallow a whore to love one person, and give or offer herself to another. The music was really great. When you're with someone, you don't allow someone else to kiss you on the cheek, you don't go to another guy's hotel room when you love someone, that's dirty, cheap, despicable, and extremely shallow. I wouldn't recommend this drama to my worst enemy...

Yet another Japanese crappy love/conniving triangle. In the 4 years I've lived in Japan, I've never come across or dealt with these so called love triangles. These drama writers need to get a grip, stop sniffing whatever glue their sniffing. Only redeeming points to this drama were the actors, music, and the ending... Wouldn't recommend this drama to anyone, not even to my worst enemy...

What a complete waste of time watching this super crappy drama including the 5 specials after it. Only redeeming point to this drama was the fact of Madoka and Shinji getting married. Wataru was very selfish, only thinking of himself, Hasebe was super selfish and overbearing, and Kayano was just a complete witch, and Sonoko's mother was super overbearing as well. The only time she gets kissed is by Hasabe in the first episode, and a farewell kiss by Wataru in the third special. In the special Hasabe and Kayano mature and become a little nicer. But as a whole, this drama and the specials were complete trash. My heart broke for Sonoko all through the drama and all five specials. I would give this drama a complete 0 but for the music, and Sakai Miki, Yamamoto Kei, Mabuchi Erika, and Nakamura Ryu.

This screams BETRAYAL, BETRAYAL BETRAYAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Terrible story and plotline. The Japanese who write these absurd and despicable dramas really need to get a life and learn what real love, loyalty, and being faithful is all about. Where was the romance? The genre says romance, there was no romance whatsoever, only betrayal, betrayal, oh, and BETRAYAL. Any person who plays a part of betrayal are really shallow in real life and are prone of betraying one in real life. I would not recommend my worst enemy to watch this crappy drama.

What an all around nice romantic love story. The side stories really helped to make this drama the story that it was. The couples they helped to get together as well as helped to stay together. What I thought would be a beautiful but sad drama really turned out to be a real beautiful romantic drama. One I'd watch over and over again and never get sick of. Just my most humble opinion... :)

I really liked the choice of actors in this drama, you couldn't pick better ones for the roles they played. Once again, Yada Akiko did a splendid job in this drama showing her true colours as she always does. I was greatly impressed with this drama and would highly recommend anyone and everyone to watch it. In my most humble opinion, there were many lessons to learn throughout this wonderful drama.

Really loved this series. Ueta Aya once again shone in this drama as she always has. Great plot, great acting. Of course this is just my most humble opinion. I wish they made more dramas like this instead of terrible drama'a about betrayal, and falling out of love with one person and falling in love with another. I hope to see many more like this one.

The music and actors are the only plus to this movie. Just another movie about betrayal. Terrible story line. They needed to use the scrip she wrote for this drama, instead of this story line. That is a given. Great acting, although it has made my perspective and respect of Kitagawa Keiko, and Ito Hideaki go way down. I need to watch a drama that will redeem them in a good way.
