This is brilliant and a well executed coming of age drama about a 21 year old girl named Kahoko who after meeting a young man around the same age as her except with a completely opposite life starts to discover what the that the real world is like. She further discovers her inner strength, capabilities and her true dream in life. Together, they support and heal each other.

I am giving this drama an 8.5 rating partly because of a few things, I wasn't too fond of:

- Romance between the lead - The romance between the two leads wasn't bad, however it could have been done better. To me, it seemed more like friendship than love.

- Family Problems and Leaving - Okay, so I don't know how to word this better but basically, the whole concept of a problem arising and the affected family member leaving the house wasn't particularly my favourite. Partly because it became repetitive, it started off with the dad then the mom, next the grandparents and then the relatives. It all just started becoming a little boring.

- OST - This isn't a major flaw but I just wished this drama had a better and a more fitting ost (but then again, this is my first Jdrama so I don't know if OST's are considered important in Jdramas or not).

- Marriage - The main leads rushing into marriage wasn't quite realistic given that Kahoko didn't really have a proper job nor did Hajime. Plus, they were both quite young, still learning their ways and had just started dating. So it all just seemed a little silly and impractical.

Overall, this drama is quite entertaining and full of emotions. The entire cast did an amazing job especially the female lead. Hats off to her as no one could have possibly played the role of Kahoko as excellently as Matsuki Takahata did.

I would strongly recommend this drama to everyone. Do give it a try and I'm sure you'll like it.
