bluelysia Apr 08 2017 12:19 am This drama is very interesting! love and recommend it!

Mayuyu Feb 17 2017 7:11 am I love the story and I love the casts especially Ryosuke Yamada... Kenta Kiritani looks like the father of Ryosuke Yamda hahahaah!! They should have selected Takeru Sato as Ryuichi... but it's okay :) 10/10 :)

alice Dec 24 2016 3:50 pm Really well done and underrated drama. It's well paced and filled with lots of interesting character dynamics/relationships. Ryosuke Yamada's performance is also (surprisingly) spectacular and I will be looking forward to his future acting projects. Check it out if you have time I definitely recommend 9.5/10!!!

just one of his fan Dec 21 2016 5:25 am Yes!!! I am now proud of him.. HE finally has a KISSING NOW!!! I'm a proud mother to you now.. I mean fan hehehe...

Melody Dec 20 2016 10:18 pm This drama was a roller coaster ride. I learnt so many things from this drama. It's probably one of the most touching getsu9 I've watched in a long time. I've been longing for a human drama with a genre like this for some time, so I'm really thankful to the production team of choosing to produce this drama.

Yu's character growth was amazing. Though there are some parts of the development of this drama that felt too fast paced & the ending was unexpected, after rewatching it I understood why the ending was that way. It was well executed. This drama deserves more love and appreciation.

The cast performance was amazing, & I think I'm gonna keep an eye on Yamada's work from now on, because he was amazing in this. The music was really good too, I'm still emotional each time I listen to the music.

HSJ Fans Dec 16 2016 9:29 pm I love stories like these! especially when the cast has Yamada (lol). anyone knows where to watch this in HQ? that'd really help ^^ thanks!

Alice Nov 11 2016 2:22 pm Like it's possible for someone to date Kenta Kiritani and sidetrack him for Yamada Ryosuke.

One is a handsome, reliable looking fella with deep, soulful eyes and husky voice , the other is a babyfaced latebloomer with cute looks and childlike allure.

ninja Nov 10 2016 4:15 pm wow, it's nice that @manjiro has time and put an effort to diss Yamada.. feeling better yet asshole?

arirangria Nov 10 2016 10:29 am i had watched the first episode n it was great. although i haven't watched the korean series back in 2009, i'm sure this will also be a good drama like that kdrama. i'm waiting for the next ep n Yamada looks all matured and handsome btw..huhu

manjiro Nov 07 2016 7:52 pm Congratulations Yamada for making record-low ratings with his getsu9 lolol. It's such an embarrassment. This hopefully will break his fans's illusion about his popularity lol

Rose~ Oct 19 2016 10:31 am I watched the first episode without subs (I understand a little), it's good, but I'm a bit new to Yamada Ryosuke's (my darling lol) role here since he never had a romance drama/movie before.

>^.^ Sep 22 2016 2:15 am I have been wanting to watch another thing with Yamada Ryosuke in it, can't wait! ^_^ :o :D :) =^.^= $_$ >_^.^< "_"

bon bon Sep 16 2016 1:22 am Woaaah! Kurashina Kana!!! So pretty indeed.

Yama-chan~ *wink* Ganbatte!

Su Sep 14 2016 3:03 am I really looking forward to this drama since he's in it.

Yama-chan daisuki! Sep 09 2016 11:09 am His first romance drama!! They said that the plot doesn't really focuses on the romance though.

Nina Sep 09 2016 10:33 am I remember the Korean version of this drama, now I'm just wondering who is playing his brother

Ryo-chan loves Sep 06 2016 4:24 pm I don't know, either should I happy or should I sad? This is Ryo-chan's drama that I always waiting for,
