Clifford Jun 01 2021 2:17 am Can take my eyes off Nanao

selfstartingslacker May 26 2021 3:44 am @dea - i had a feeling as soon as I heard her voice.

omg, long vacation was the last het romance drama I watched. i love the music esp the piano piece "Minami"

Mon Jan 11 2021 3:14 am I like this series on netflix and I have to agree that the second season is a lot more interesting, although I like how the team is all there in the first season. I wonder why it has less episodes than the first season.

I hope they will come up with a 3rd season.

yakuza-rgg Jan 08 2021 10:52 pm the first season was dull, and there was no explanation for how the protagonist got his love interest's attention, aside from saving her in the first episode. then it was all downhill from there, and all i could really remember was the love interest thing was being forced into the show. and also the fights were the only engaging thing throughout the episodes. i think the second season saved this series and could be a standalone from its predecessor

yoruneko May 26 2020 3:12 pm Everyone who likes Kimura but got a bit disappointed by this should Kyojo. It's only a two part special but he's great in it.

Hotelier Apr 25 2018 11:27 am Nanao is so pretty and cool as BG. I like this series. If they make a second season, i'll watch it too :D

NONA Apr 08 2018 11:43 am Kentaro got a cameo at the last episode. So happy to see him. Hope they'll make season 2. I really enjoyed this drama.

kenplus Mar 30 2018 9:33 am ok,as a fan of kimura,i must say i'm pretty disappointed with this drama.

Don't get me wrong,i still enjoy it,just that the ending was kinda rush off suddenly.

dea Mar 06 2018 12:25 am i'm really thrilled when i found out who plays Shimazaki ex-wife role XD

Arihant Feb 26 2018 7:21 am This is a surprisingly good show-very much on the point and fast paced thriller..This is my first Jdrama (usually watch kdramas only)and am really enjoying it.

j-kx7 Feb 04 2018 10:48 am Yes, finally Kimura Takuya is back. One of my favourite actor. He won the Best Actor's Award twice, since 2007, in Japan and South Korea. And very talented actor.

Amy19 Feb 04 2018 2:18 am Finally a drama by Kimura Takuya!! My favorite actor! <3

Conrad Feb 03 2018 12:35 am recently watched the ep1, wow Takuya Kimura is so freaking good, especially at his recent dorama named I'm Home.

Nett Jan 28 2018 1:09 am Looks like this drama is promising. The first two eps are awesome as well.

122am Nov 05 2017 5:28 am I'm curious who will act as the son? :))) I'm cheering for Takuya Kimura!!!
