CJ Porta Dec 25 2017 12:10 pm I am just beginning on this journey of watching J-dramas and I am loving it!!! Having watched K-dramas most of the time, it is certainly a refreshing change as far as the stories go. And yes, I am so looking forward to gorgeous Hideaki-san's new drama as well as catching up on his past works.

Hotelier Nov 29 2017 11:34 pm Only 8 episodes? I hope the drama will be good, because Hideaki's last drama is no good at all :p
