What's really great about the series is Koyuki and Matsumoto Jun excellent in the roles they played.

As weird as the relationship is between the leads, it was very loving and believable. However, I thought the first 6 episodes were extremely well done but the remaining episodes went down hill for me. Maybe it was at that point I started to wonder what the endgame was going to be. I don't think I actually wanted Sumire-chan and Momo to be together but I didn't want her to be with Hasumi either. I found him lacking something and he was quite obnoxious to me. Sumire's bestfriend was awesome too! I really liked her and the advise she was giving Sumire.

Sumire's boss what too much. His comments were off the chain. I mean I get this was 2003 but his sexism was the most. I mean there was a scene in one episode where Fukishimi told her coworker that it could be sexual harassment b/c he told her her perfume was too strong but their boss was constantly belittling Sumire and women in the workplace and no one batted an eyelash!!! I was just outdone.

Overall it's an enjoyable series to watch once. Will not watch again but I will watch the remake and the Korean movie version.
