jung myung Mar 17 2011 4:10 am can't wait for it to be screened....wonder how the taiwanese version will come out....

yukiko Mar 16 2011 11:52 am ♥ i so love this tv series .. hayami mokomichi is very handsome and funny,, and so as his counter part .. wanna watch the movie also .

valarmathi Feb 28 2011 6:22 am this is really not that much interesting but it kind of some fun.....

sumoni Jan 05 2011 2:18 am Ugh, I'm sorry, but I can't like this show. Perhaps it was due to the fact I read the manga first. I found Riiko's character to be very cruel to Night. Yeah he's a robot that was forced upon her, along with debt, but she really was mean. In the manga she's more accepting and caring towards him. She understands he's a robot, but she likes him anyways. Night does all this stuff for her and she's hardly grateful. I feel I would have liked it more if Night's character didn't even exist. What really had me hooked was all the desserts! They looked so delicious!

ui Jul 21 2010 12:09 am i love this drama.....^^ so sweeeeeeeeeeeeeett....^^
