Based on the manga of the same name by the amazing manga artist Saimon Fumi (who also wrote other classic dramatised mangas like "Asunaro Hakusho" and "Tokyo Love Story"), the writing for this show was brilliant.

Being a drama from before the turn of the century, it might be difficult to find online; but as a child I remember watching and rewatching this drama countless times.
In hindsight, this is such a star-studded drama and it is really amazing to see that even when they were younger, these now superstar actors had good, solid acting abilities. I always felt bad for Nakama Yukie because she plays her character so well that she really starts to annoy you.

I think what really makes this drama so enjoyable, and the rewatch value so high, is the fact that Shunpei (Domoto Koichi) and Momoko (Seto Asaka) are in a super relatable point of their lives. We see Shunpei go through a lot of emotional changes and growth which we too would experience at that age, and Momoko's forward and speaks-her-mind type character is so interesting balanced with Shunpei who is awkward, a push-over and struggling to share his true feelings.

The side characters and stories also are good, and bring a lot of balance to Shunpei and Momoko's turbulent relationship.
