One day, Ritsu gets involved in a case and gets severely injured in the head. He can die at anytime. He attempts to find his mother and be good to her before his death. Ritsu finally finds his mother, but learns that she is leading a happy life with her pianist son Satoru (Kentaro Sakaguchi). He thought his mother abandoned him due to poverty.

ehh May 19 2019 1:26 pm Not one of the best drama I'd ever watched. Every episodes here are predictable. I only watched it because of Nagase Tomoya.

Sakura Apr 04 2019 11:52 am Secretly this 10 part series is my favorite... Between the Korean drama, Chinese film and this: Gomen Aishiteru can make you cry without subs.

The story of the lead guy was more realistic, imo.

And although it could have done with less copy and paste of the korean plot ...the way the Japanese version changed the plot with such brilliant masochistic subtlety it makes me feel like this is actually the original version.

Suzzy Dec 10 2018 1:03 pm I cried a lot watching this drama?? Nagase Tomoya, you’re doing such a good job!!!

Dani Nov 03 2017 12:40 am At first, I was kind of doubtful Nagase would nail So Ji Sub's role. His role in My Boss, My Hero made a mark and I know his forte really is comedy. But I'm glad he proved me wrong. :) Man, he can act in drama as well! And Riho who plays Rinka, was also great! I never thought they would have an awesome chemistry. I really ship Ritsu and Rinka.

Overall, I love the ending. It was indeed, satisfying. Even though I cried so hard. Haha!

supersankari Aug 10 2017 4:53 am In Nagase we trust, from the trailer I can see he nails his character pretty well. He one of the best JE actors, along with Toma, Kimutaku, Shunzuke Kazama and Nino.

Lol Jul 29 2017 3:26 am Love this drama and anding song, very sad in? heart

Maiko Reina Jul 26 2017 2:30 am Honestly, I wasn't expecting to but, I am really enjoying this drama at the moment and love the ending song! Really recommend watching it!

Precious Jul 23 2017 5:51 pm I love Nagase`s every drama, I have no idea about the other version since I only watch JDO. I will watch this `til the last episode. Nagase dakara ne

Hime Jul 11 2017 9:01 am I watched the first 20 minutes of this, I don't like it. Not because I love the korean version (I didnt watch the korean one either), it's just this drama is tooooo korean for my taste. I mean, I know this is a remake of korean drama, but characters are too korean. Like satoru character, who is a mum's boy, i cant stand his character, i rarely encounter such character in japanese dramas.

It's like watching korean drama but with japanese language. I dont like it. Gomen

wany Jul 06 2017 11:12 pm nagase still good looking <3 i love him in every movie/drama he acted.. Can't wait for it.. Hope there's update on this drama every week

Xhaha Jul 05 2017 10:30 am I can't believe I'm saying this, but after checking both trailers, I'll shamelessly watch just the Japanese version. It looks 10 times better, more well-made. I feel bad because So Ji Sub is in the Korean one, maybe I'll watch it down the road some day, but this one pulled me in a lot more.

Stars Jun 10 2017 9:57 pm Omg! A Japanese remake of I'm Sorry I Love You!? I'm in. Lol. I loved the Korean version and I'm can't wait to see how this one turns out. It was one of my favorite kdramas. I bawled my eyes out every time I watched it but kept rewatching it because it was so good.

Alvina May 23 2017 11:02 am I think Tomoya Nagase was cast perfectly for So Ji Sub's role. Ji Sub has certainly grown as an actor but MiSa hasn't aged well in terms of the acting quality (just try rewatching a super popular drama like Full House now. Total cringe). I'm totally looking forward to this fresh new take.

Ntr48 May 18 2017 11:16 pm More adaptions from kdrama to jdrama!! <3 I hope Spring Waltz, Lovers in Paris, Glory Jane and I am Ledgend will be adapted into jdrama

blabla May 17 2017 5:18 am I am really excited for this drama, I haven't watched a j-drama in years, but giving that it's a remake of one of my favorite dramas of all time, I can't miss it! Like really, I'm counting down the days! Sure, I doubt it can beat the original (but no drama could, the k-version is pure perfection, from the acting to the ost), but I'm hopeful that it will give it some sort of justice!!! Sorry I love you is the best melodrama ever and the drama I compare ALL the melodramas I watch to, so I can't wait to see the japanese take on it.

Fan May 09 2017 9:39 am Pls pls do not make this drama...even though super happy that kentaro san was cast in this ....this is like the saddest kdrama I've watched in my entire life and I've seen over 500 kdrmas...gosh I want to cry

yasushi Apr 21 2017 6:17 am @tsuyoi_hikari I haven't watched the original Korean version of this drama, but I think they chose Nagase because of his rugged look. And I hope we can be relieved because Asano Taeko's dramas (Kamisama Mou Sukoshi dake, Last Friends, Love Generation) aren't that bad. Hopefully, we get to see Nagase's acting ability in this.

tsuyoi_hikari Apr 18 2017 9:33 pm Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Why they choose Nagase for this role? I have nothing against him and I thought he is hilarious as a person but I doubt he gonna be as fine as So Ji Sub when he acts in this. If they're going to find someone in J&A for this role, I seriously think they should chose Domoto Tsuyoshi instead.

I love the Korean version soooo much. Its like one of the drama where it changed your life when you watched it. Its basically one of the most heartbreaking kdrama you can ever come across.

I always love Japanese version more than the Korean version dramas each and everytime. Maou, Flowers for Algernon, Proposal Daisakusen, Dragon Zakura, Hana Yori Dango, Hana Kimi & etc are much superior in term of quality and script than their Korean counterparts. I'm afraid this drama will break this pattern. The Korean version is soooo good. It is such a big hurdle to beat. :( And if they going to remake this story, they should chose someone like Nojima Shinji to write the script.

Karen Khoo Apr 17 2017 1:53 am Sakaguchi Kentaro <3

アラン Apr 14 2017 1:59 am Congratulations for your first heroine lead in dorama, Riho-Chan! Hopefully the dorama does well...

Mari Apr 10 2017 3:06 pm I loved the korean version and I can't wait to see Kentaro in another drama. I hope the drama does well.

al_sky Apr 10 2017 7:56 am i rarely see korean drama turn japanesse drama

Ashu Rao Apr 10 2017 2:35 am I have seen Chinese movie version of this drama.. It's a tragic story but I totally loved it. And there's a turkish version of the drama with the name A love story.. It's Hindi dubbed Version is currently airing in India( in a channel called Zindagi).

Hotelier Apr 09 2017 11:35 pm The story is a little bit different from korean version. In korean version, the younger son is very annoying character, and tragic ending :( But here I hope they made a better version with character will be least annoying.
