Prepare a box of tissues because you're going to be crying your heart out.
I don't cry easily but I was sobbing watching this drama lol. So inspiring, so touching, so beautiful. Also Tori never disappoints. What an actor. I can tell that the show took a great deal of care, research into making this drama and I really appreciate it. I'm never rewatching it again even though it's so beautiful but it's a little too sad but I really loved it. It's a beautiful emotional love story.Cinematography, music, plot..... everything was amazing. I love how it shed a light on how the daily life of people with that disability.

Best Japanese Rom-Com in the last decade.
What can I say about this legendary drama that hasn't already been said? There's a reason why this drama was a phenomenon in Japan and overseas when it was released. It was Mone 's breakout role and catapulted Sato to international stardom. I watch a lot of Japanese dramas and this drama is really up there with the very best of them ;from the last 3 decades even. Even till this day Koitsudu still top most popular/beloved of most lists least in Japan. The OST obsessed, I still listen to it till this day. The script is not new. This has been done so many times but the huge success of this drama is mostly because of Mone and Takeru electric, amazing chemistry imo. I don't rewatch dramas often but this is 1 of the few I rewatch the most. It's such a beautiful slow burn falling in love story. Amazing cast, cinematography, music...this is 1 of the rare instances where everything came together to create MAGIC ✨Was this review helpful to you?
Simple beautiful love story
I don't know why it took me so long to watch this; I kept postponing it lol. It was a simple love story and kind of coming of age too as well. Realizing your worth, stand for what you believe in and live in your own terms..I need the male lead actor in more dramas or movies, he's gorgeous and can act. I like the FL acting as well; I love how she grew as a person throughout the movie. Great little drama especially compared to some that are highly rated with a lot of budget but don't live up to the expectation.Was this review helpful to you?
Very disappointed: A waste of a talented cast.
I was so excited to watch this drama and the plot seemed great. I also like really Iwata as an actor ( so I was really looking forward to this) and this drama was at the top of my list of dramas I wanted to watch . It was so disappointing. The actors are great and I'm not blaming them at all. I've watched them in other Japanese dramas so this is not their fault. It is the way the story flowed, was told, was filmed. I don't know what the director was trying to accomplish here but I hated it. Even the dialogue felt contrived or badly presented so I'm blaming this on the scriptwriter as well. On the bright side, the cinematography was ok. I want to reiterate again that the actors are amazing. I've seen their works in other projects, everything else just fell off short. So annoyed. There's nothing like really looking forward to see something and you end up disappointed smh .Was this review helpful to you?
