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!!! :)

This is the highest rating I've given for any drama or movie I've seen. It is almost too rude to say how great a job Sawajiri Erika did in acting in this heartbreaking, heartwrenching, beautiful, touching drama. It really opens your eyes as to the poor families and victims of this most terrible and cruel disease. Have your box of tissues ready because in every single episode, it really breaks your heart to see the emotional pain alone that she goes through.

As much as it was a very sad story, there was a balance of comedy in it to put a smile on your face at times from her father. The music was very well done, I don't think they could have done better than what they did in this drama.

I really needed to watch something to help soften my heart and this drama did just the trick to soften a bitter and jaded heart. I honestly believe this drama would soften the most cold hearted, hard heart out there.

It was a real masterpiece of a drama, if I could give a higher than 10 rating, it would get it astoundingly. A must watch for sure...

This was definitely a masterpiece. What love triangles there were, the bonds of love between the parties involved never let the stupid love triangles really tear them apart. It was a true romance in the truest sense of the word. I really enjoyed watching the relationships evolve and just get stronger. Awesome storyline. You couldn't get better actors/actresses for the parts played. I really didn't like Kanjiya Shihori in this drama but she was more immature and she has really gotten better with age. I thought she was a real b**ch in this one, but all the others I've seen with her, she's a beautiful and cheery person, so I have to forgive her shortcomings in this one. The music, it was really good, there were times where I felt they could have used a different music score hence the rating of 9. I would most definitely watching this one over and over again. As much as I'm really superly disappointed in Ishihara Satomi for emotionally betraying her husband in an on going drama right now, I really enjoyed watching her in this drama. Just a very well balanced true romantic comedy, a rare find from Japanese writers. The writer here has a true and real grip on life. I highly recommend this drama even to my worst enemy...

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.

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.

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.

In my humble opinion, yet another real masterpiece of a movie. Takeuchi Yuko has once again shone as she usually does. In her profile the Japanese seem to liken her to Meg Ryan. As much as I really love Meg Ryan, I really like Takeuchi Yuko more, she has a more softer side to her than Meg Ryan, and this movie really brought that side of her out. The acting truly was great, the music was great, and as much as the story is on the lines of fantasy, I think it really made the movie. Who of us wouldn't want to spend just that little extra time with the one that we loved in time past? A very nice fantasy, romance and sentimentality to it, a solid 10 for sure, a real masterpiece in my books.

Yet a rare find amongst so many despicable and shallow so called Romance dramas. This drama really portrayed what true love and romance is. Love is sacrificial, not selfish. Love is all give and no take. The story line was superb. Two children and one candy, you are one of the children, love really shows who has the candy, you or the other child. Inamori Izumi played the perfect part of Hana. She has helped to put a tiny dust particle of trust or hope in women again in my heart. Just a real sweetheart and bundle of true love and selflessness. That girl doesn't know the meaning of selfishness. We need more people like her in this world, men and women alike. Folks, you want an awesome drama to watch, something with meaning? This drama is the key, some real life lessons to be learned in watching this drama for sure. Great set of actors and acting. Most definitely a high 10, and a most definite re-watch...
