ahn Oct 08 2022 1:11 pm gonna be honest, i watch this drama because satomi ishihara. her vibe in here kinda same with in pretty proofreader. but, thats the thing i wanna watch. i really like pooh-san. i think he got the nickname because, the character literally like the teddy bear we know. i really feel its a bummer that nana-chan as support role feel like just extra char in the first part of drama. but it gets better at latter part when she got her own conflict. but after all, i like this drama as whole.

Ryujie San Jul 16 2021 9:04 pm luv episode 8...elevator scene...kudos to pooh san n momo san all cast are great... = )

Art Jul 16 2021 12:00 am This is one of the best dramas around but maybe hard to digest for younger viewers or people who are more simple. It tries to delve into the mind of an artist and how supposedly they are different from normal folks in the way they think and what they hold as important. The romantic scenes between Pooh-san and Momo were great because it was a connection of minds than physical attraction. Very underrated drama and one of Ishihara-san’s best performances next to Unnatural.

Lirier Jun 25 2021 7:34 am This is the worst drama ever watched, The storyline is very bad the good of this drama is only the female main role.

Akawit Jun 17 2019 12:54 pm Are they Training to be a Shinobi? I dont care about satomi when I saw KARINA appeared!!!

bakawhite Mar 18 2019 6:29 am @dzeke: You don't steal the show when you're the lead actress. Carrying the show is your duty anyway.

dzeke Oct 09 2018 7:23 am man satomi ishihara stole the show here. the plot is soap opera-ish, but the character development is surprisingly good.

yoshi238 Oct 07 2018 9:43 pm watching this drama is like watching a movie, it's psychologically intense though some scenes don't make sense. i had never liked satomi ishihara's acting but this drama made me think otherwise, i think she's excellent here. her chemistry with kazunobu is surprisingly endearing, i was rooting for them the whole time while watching. momo and pooh story is the main reason i keep watching. her sister's love story is not that interesting.

Corey Oct 05 2018 4:17 pm @andyyy Ikebana IS a big deal

andyyy Oct 02 2018 9:40 pm This drama doesn't make sense. Plot is bad and unrealistic making a big deal out of a flower arrangement lmao

sakuranodoka Sep 18 2018 11:58 am perfect drama 10/10

LOVetheDrama Aug 23 2018 7:45 am @shinyaN so true. Plus Satomi's really pretty.

Zintia Aug 23 2018 7:41 am I love Satomi's acting but the drama itself is a bit weird. I don't know how to explain. It's kinda disturbing at some scenes. But Satomi's So Pretty.

shinyaN Aug 22 2018 8:36 am Edgy. But I like it.

Glynnelein Jun 18 2018 2:33 am Kyoko yoshine, Satomi Ishihara and Yudai Chiba in one drama??? Alrighhttt!!! Bookmarked! ???
