Plot

If you feel you have lost the purity of your soul by watching stories about rich womanizers seducing impudent women, or by carrying out calculated maneuvers in your own love life, here is a story for you. A boy and a girl from opposite social backgrounds meet and fall in love, a straightforward love which is only possible for a 20-year-old couple. Their love, of course, faces a lot of obstacles. The setting is Yokohama, a modern port city known for its romantic atmosphere.

Hiroto Kanzaki (Kazuya Kamenashi) works hard every day and night to fight for the survival of a small ship repair factory inherited from his father, and to support his mother and young brother, who has health problems. Living such an underprivileged life, Hiroto has forgotten how to smile. In contrast to him, Nao Tsukioka (Haruka Ayase) is the daughter of a popular jewelry shop owner on a fashionable street in Yokohama. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, literally. Nao attends a prestigious women’s college and grew up cheerful, blessed with affluent love. From the moment Hiroto meets her, his closed mind gradually opens up to Nao, who is so innocent that she utters whatever is on her mind. Their three close friends, who are also 20 years of age, play an important role in their developing relationship.

i began to like kame after nobuta. i tried watching almost all of his other dramas, but i didn't reach the last episode of any of them feeling completely satisfied with the plot, characters, or kame's screen time. just when i thought that was the end of my dedication, i started watching this with doubt at first. i'm not a fan of any of the other actors, nor was i hooked by the suffocating title. as soon as i learned that the girl had leukimia, i freaked out and thought, "she's going to die. faaak"

BUT, it offered me a wonderful break from romantic comedies. it's more settle yet intriguing. of course one should expect the usual encouraging friends and discouraging parents in these romeo-juliet relationships. however, the plot provides surprising twists that puts out any pre-judgements one may have. finishing the drama in a day was crazy, but it is definitely one you can't easily put down. unlike dramas that you only keep watching to find out the ending, this drama takes you from one episode to the next and lures you back to it every time you try to put it down. by the end, you'll miss it but be completely satisfied. no tv specials or sequels needed. it's perfect as it is. tv ratings don't mean a thing.
