Joe Tairei Mar 30 2022 7:20 pm I randomly stumbled on this show and started watching. It’s really good, in a slightly weird Japanese way. Emi Takei commands the series from start to finish with her convincing and sympathetic performance. I loved it and I wish they had made another season, but the low viewership probably made that impossible. Too bad, but at least it’s available to watch and is developing a cult following, perhaps.

Hana Nov 08 2021 3:40 am This drama is totally good . Funny and interesting. I didn't expect that takeuchi liked her . I thought it was just my prediction . this is harem genre so yeah i feel bad for all men who likes Nao . I love Tamaki . He's just a great guy n totally deserved her . Can't hate yujin cause he's good guy for me . i hope this drama had a season 2 but it was an old drama so i can't expect too much. 9/10 for me :)

Tantan Oct 29 2021 12:53 pm I come here to support Tamaki.. I unserstand Nao is young and naive.. Hopefully she could see better when she grow up. Tamaki is such a great guy... He has leadership and always aware of protecting her.

Cherry Oct 16 2021 4:28 pm Cute drama, but not really liking the ending because she went we the wrong guy. Girl, you should notice the way he looked at you :( Emi Takei is so lovely. I envy her :D

Doramalover Aug 18 2021 3:51 am dramas where the male lead has fewer scenes even than the other supporting characters.

Fouzia Sultana Aug 07 2021 5:00 am Highly inspiring drama I have seen after very long time.

yoongi Min Aug 05 2021 7:25 am I live it I watch it on netflix and damn

kawaii Aug 04 2021 5:40 am So this where the 2nd lead syndrome come from? Yoshino x Tamaki all the way the male lead haz 0 chemistry with the heroine but other than that, love the plot of the drama

Krnto Apr 18 2021 6:08 am I finished watching this. And I love it. I feel kento kaku is the male lead and not Tori. There is no chemistry between EMI and Tori.

NAE NAE Mar 05 2020 11:02 am This drama is traumatizing lol I really want the 2nd lead to get the girl so much chemistry right there what a waste honestly hope they have a project together

hannasj Nov 22 2019 4:27 am even after sooooo many years i still think of Tamaki as the better guy for Nao. Their chemistry is just more intriguing for me

doram Feb 18 2019 1:26 am Although this is a drama from 8 years ago I'm glad I decided to watch it!!! The moral story in each episode might sounds so cliche and outdated nowadays, but I can still find some nice advices in this drama! Particularly for those who still doesn't know what to do in life.... First episode is dragging and boring but trust me, it gets better! Especially ep 8, I laughed so hard when I watched it lol. Everyone, give this drama a chance! I rate it 4/5!

Thiri Dec 10 2018 2:37 pm Everybody is rooting for Tamaki and it's hard to argue how much of an awesome guy he is. He has chemistry with Nao and all. But hey falling in love isn't about "choosing" the one that's always been there for you. There is much more factors involved than this. You may like people but that doesn't mean there is romantic attraction. You just like the kind of person they are. You love who you love. And I can feel the chemistry between Nao and Aruto. Aruto may have been absent most of the time, but the guy has a better timing than Tamaki. Aruto comes in at right moment never failing to sweep Nao off her feet. And for a teenage girl, that's enough to fall in love. Not mention that they almost kissed on the very first seconds of their encounter. But it gets more than that. Nao got involved in Aruto's personal affairs. Their development kept going while Tamaki wasn't making any moves on Nao. He is there for her, that's sweet but Aruto has been flirty with Nao all the time. And this matters a lot in the development of a relationship. A little flirt here and there. So, Nao has "fallen in love" with Aruto but what about him? He flirts with her alright. He is interested in her but why isn't he taking any major/serious step? (Like stay by her side and watch her over if he truly cared?) Well, that's what most people don't seem to grasp it. Not only is he the victim of a violent abuse but he has a mother who is not mentally stable. FFS he is 19 years old and has to take responsibility over his mother and work part-time please women. Now, this is a kid that has been through emotional and physical torture, it's only logical that he would be mature beyond his age. Of course others his age are having problems too but the story tells how a 19 year old boy has to take care of the household and his Mother's occasional outburst. Surely, he doesn't have time for a relationship. He is not like Tamaki who still has his father to depend on, he has no one. He is the only one who he can rely on. So no wonder he can't freely pursuit his youthful high school love interest. And Tori has done an incredible job portraying Aruto's character. It's truly beautiful. I only wish that there was a season 2 for this

janekieyhshi Oct 23 2018 7:12 pm i still ship kaku kento with Emi.. damn, they would look cute together.

Go Yoshino! Mar 27 2018 10:20 pm Momo Aizawa is so annoying. Like girl please go away you're not even pretty, and LMAO she looks like a boy dressed as a girl HAHAHAHA!

Maria May 15 2017 8:07 am I really like Emi Takei and Tori Matsuzaka here.. going to support this team-up.. Fighting!!

Kyo Mar 04 2017 2:13 pm I'm so glad I'm not the only one who ships Tamaki x Nao cause like he's such a smol fluff but main guy always has to win (damn it) But i loved the comedy and the humor of this! I dont regret watching this!

Midz Oct 25 2016 1:03 am I feel so much pain after a week i've watched this because he didnt end up with Tamaki, well in the first place i knew they wouldnt end up together.. Is there any drama as same as like this???? i really need reverse harem genre to watch.

ira Oct 05 2016 5:10 pm i rather prefer nao with tamaki ... =(

bluelysia Apr 07 2016 9:01 am By the end of episode, I like Tamaki-kun a little too much LOL but I don't hate Aruto so yeah, I can accept that Nao is with him.. rather than that, this drama has been entertaining I like it! Takei Emi did a wonderful job in this drama. I enjoyed her acting a lot ^^

bluelysia Apr 05 2016 10:44 am I'm still on ep 1 but funny thing happened in this drama.. main male lead is like 2nd male lead, while 2nd male lead is like the main male lead LOL.. well I will just consider that I should have "second lead syndrome"... I actually prefer Aruto because he is the one who is calm and not hot headed like Tamaki and getting angry on our heroine.. Also Takei Emi and Matsuzaka Tori have nice chemistry in Kyo Koi wo Hajimemasu so I hope it helps here ^^ will comeback to comment again after some episodes!

jiki Feb 05 2016 4:53 am Emi takei so beautiful, and I wanna see you acting like in rurouni kenshin.

Candice Dec 30 2015 8:12 am Best Japan dorama I've watched so far... from the beginning I've been rooting for Tamaki and Yoshino... It's regretful that he has one sided love:( I hope Yoshino just turned over to him..

Tamaki was always be there for her.. saved her from the falling things, caring for her, tried to be a person whom she could talk with, etc while Aruto almost didn't do anything for her.. I know love isn't about doing something for another.. but it's just Tamaki and Yoshino suited each other very well...

I think it is just because Aruto tried to kiss her at the beginning while Tamaki was still hard on her so Yoshino had fallen in love with Aruto first.. but if you watch the whole things until the end, then it'll definitely be Tamaki of course...

Btw, most of Japanese guys in dramas has bad and weird hair style for me -sorry not to offend- but this one is exception... Tamaki looks handsome and cute, Aruto looks cute, Takeuchi looks great, and Hirose looks manly... plus the grandpa is funny ㅋㅋㅋㅋ worth to watch

JR Dec 05 2015 7:50 pm This is another great jap high school drama.

ladybear Jul 25 2015 6:21 pm I really shipped Nao and Makoto... THEY SO CUTE TOGETHER!!!!!

Mariya Mar 28 2015 12:46 pm it's a great drama. the cast, storyline totally inspiring.

Atticus Feb 26 2015 12:16 am One of the best series I've ever watched!! Emiiiii

etakawaiii Nov 08 2014 9:03 pm Emi Takei is so pretty and able to portrait Nao, warming at heart, good looking guys, hilarious scenes (flirty, funny, kind and wise grandpa), love this drama so much...personally, this deserved a better rating

Zara Choi Jul 14 2014 3:00 pm At first I didn't expect this to be good judging the rating it had but after watching the first ep I knew I was totally WRONGGGGGG. This turned out to be awesome, really, really awesome

Jocelyn Nov 04 2012 2:06 pm Probably one the best dramas I've seen in a while! I finished this whole drama in 2 days because it was just so addicting. After one episode you're tempted to watch the next and the next and just idiejeidj it's so good. I love my lovey dovey dramas and this one has a "relationship" but they don't really focus on the whole love thing in this one. That's why in the end i was sad that they didn't get a real kiss. BUt overall a good drama. :)

Shahrul Jasnizam Oct 12 2012 12:05 am Emi and Tori are great couple in youth dorama. With Ayame and Mary in this dorama,I hope this dorama can get best rating. Expecially mechanics that don't know how the syllibus of mechanics school.

Katia Jul 19 2012 12:00 am emi takei kawaii!

Sarah May 05 2012 4:36 am It's a cute Drama... I really liked it ^^

anyeeM229 Nov 09 2011 1:30 pm FUNKY MONKEY BABYS, who are used for the entire soundtrack, is really good. i listened to them for the first time because of this drama. now i'm a big fan. the ost includes

maneki hobbang Nov 04 2011 10:52 am i wish this drama received better ratings. i think the 3 main guy's beat hana kimi in terms of looks. the setting of a girl going to a school that simply has few girls is more realistic than going undercover to a boys' school. after watching takei emi's seductive concept in "taisetsu na koto wa subete kimi ga oshiete kureta," i was worried that the teenager would go on the bad road. i'm glad her agency planted her right back into a teen drama that fits her better.

kyouya2909 Sep 20 2011 11:57 am I got this drama DVD today cuz I like Emi so much, I thought it's not fun at all but after I watched the first episode, I watched all the rest, It's really good & must watch drama!

yano koichi Jul 10 2011 3:19 am at first, i thought of NAO to end up with Yokoyama but then i was really hoping she'll end up with Tamaki, he's so hansome and i like the way he does everything to feed his siblings and stuff, and i also like his annoying attitude.. and i dont really care about him living in poverty, not his fault.. maybe im gonna go back 2 yokoyama when i get to watch more about him in the story though.. im really confused about these 2,wait, is this even a romance story, not? im not sure, i kinda thought this is like gokuzen (mayb she just coincidently there @ school 2 solve problems).. uggh! well, if this is a romance.. can just any1 tell me right away whom shes gonna end up with? i dont wanna focus on the other guy

GermanGirl24 Jun 25 2011 7:02 pm Chrissy: thank u very much, but i know dramacrazy already sorry i sould have mention that^^´, my mistake sorry and i know the sides: mysoju, asianrice and ep-drama it´s to dump that viki don´t have jdramas anymore in, i think they would be fast too sometimes even with the subs :´-(
