ThirstyMonk Nov 20 2022 3:19 pm It was really hard to finish this drama. Very repetitive, and acting wasn't very good either. Too many flashbacks.

lalala01 Jul 15 2020 11:42 am Recommended again. It's worth to watch. Memorable and beautiful drama. The ending song is also good to listen by "Kuwata".

Ryu Samuël Jul 22 2019 3:16 am Annie-chan: misleading comments? Maybe this was not good enough for you but this drama is for me the best japanese drama ever. I have great memories and nostalgia every time I rewatch it. Just because it's not good for you then it's bad.

Al Jan 19 2018 6:47 pm I watch the korean version before this version. This version captivates me better than the korean version. Recommended

Annie-chan Nov 29 2017 5:49 am So many misleading comments! This wasn't very good, AT ALL!! Boring. Unsurprising. Totally NOT recommended. I wasted my time.

Simisbah Nov 14 2017 5:24 am A very addictive and memorable dorama. YamaP and Masami are good couple. Ken, Rei, Eri, Tsurumi and Miko make good friendship from high school to adulthood.

Suneo Nov 14 2017 4:33 am Excellent Dorama for story, actor, actress, soundtrack, theme song, etc.

Yuan Nov 07 2017 4:19 am Three reasons why I did not like this series

1. The "Hallelujah, chance" is like Nobuta's "Nobuta power, chunyu". So I thought, "man, that kind of thing again? That's not catchy at all".

2. I got bored because the story is just the same over and over - Pi will change the past shown the pictures. Really, it was tolerable for about 3 to 4 episodes but after that, with the same ending in every episode, it became so predictable and dull.

3. In relation to number 2, the story actually has no depth. In fact, it's very simple - NEITHER KEN NOR REI ADMITS THEIR FEELINGS. And they maximized it into 11 eps and a special. Boring. Boring. Boring.

Did I finish it? Uh huh, I fast forwarded the episodes.

Disclaimer: I love Pi, this is just one of those few projects of him which I thought were meh -_- And no offense to anyone who loved this drama.

Jimmy Sep 03 2017 12:38 am One of the best Japanese dramas i have ever seen. I think i have already watched this series at least 5 times but i still want to see that again when i have time. The content is really amazing, Yamapi and Masami have a great chemistry. On the other hand, the friendship among Tsuru, Ken (Kenzou), Rei, Eri and Mikio is absolute brilliant as i always want to have that kind of friendship in my life. That will last long forever. The song "Ashita Hareku Kana" also is nice song which i can replay whole day. Prodai has another 2 remakes from Korea and China but nothing can beat the original.

Huh Jun 10 2017 3:51 am I just watched this and what i can say is that this is a masterpiece. I recommend this to people who love romcom and a bit of slice of life. As well as to those people having a hard time confessing their true feelings to their love ones. Time is gold and it will always be like that. The rest, well just watch this drama. You'll know what i mean later on. Have a nice day.

mina Apr 10 2016 10:39 am Hallelujah chance! Noooooooo! xD Haha i love this part

I love yamapi's style ~ Kon kon, akira shock, nobuta power enter xD .. Hallelujahh chance! xDD

INFINITY_JAN Aug 07 2015 10:01 pm ..this is my favorite ever... every episode is remarkable and touching.. it talks about LOVE and so as FRIENDSHIP that could last until forever.. every time i watch this drama i always remember my friends.. and wish we could also be like them.. happy that i have watched it..

Umi Tsubame Jul 12 2015 9:25 pm I've never seen such a film like this: so deep, so lasting. Hope Tomo and Masa become real couple. Vote for you guys. How cute!

Lora Apr 13 2015 2:35 pm Is this better than the Korean remake called Operation Proposal? *SPOILER ALERT* I felt bad for the character of "Coach" in Operation Proposal, so it affected my enjoyment of the happy ending for the main characters.

crystalysia Mar 28 2015 9:06 am This is beyond sweet. I lovee it, especially the special episode, such a fulfillment

ace Nov 27 2014 10:30 pm I am a bit of a sucker for Groundhog Day type films. It is pure wish fulfillment. Who has not wished they could do something over? This one was a cut above the average. Being rather creative with the continuity.

Liaa Nov 22 2014 12:32 pm Every pictures has their own stories >> the main story of the drama.. so cute i like it.. : D

ali May 13 2014 7:48 am proposal daisakusen second series pleaseeeee.....

Peter Parker/Geoff Cortes Jan 08 2014 8:02 pm I really love this series, because of Masami Nagasawa. She is so talented and truly beautiful, "goddess like", and i want to meet her because she is my favorite actress, and i want to tell her that, When i look into her eyes, and i feel that she also looks back in my eyes, you know that you have do anything, anything to be a better person that i am right now, and you try to look forward on your future, because every time you saw her you feel anything except her gorgeous smile so that you can earn every single second of her perfect grace, her limitless beauty and her unending love. But i might face the reality that "no matter what i do" "no matter how hard i tried" we can never be together, because she is too good from me. so that i can conclude that "even sometimes to what is right we have to be steady, and give up the things that we want the most. "Even our dreams".

                                                                   Courtesy of your friendly neighborhood, 
                                                                                        Geoff Cortes

george Feb 11 2013 1:11 pm Not at all a good series .. i hate this series .. the lead actor in here is shown so dumb beyond imagination... in addition to that the female-lead is also so (what to say) .... If one sees the others love just by frankness .. Then she is a foool.. And Yampai though one of my favorites. But no progress until the last episode,, no exciting moments . no moments where u feel like crying,, actors have expressionless face.. got frustrated while watching

rjenrose14 Jul 09 2012 1:33 am it's very very very nice :)

i really love the twists in the story and i like the casts...especially rei and kenzou <3

razz Feb 25 2012 9:18 am Really love this drama.. It's so cute and starting to love Yamapi again Japanese Dramas Banzai

anyeeM229 Aug 19 2011 8:01 pm although some filler could be cut out, it is overall a very meaningful drama with various lessons to learn.

anyeeM229 Aug 13 2011 10:50 am interesting development, but i couldn't wait till the ending (in a good way) to find out what happens to them.

dia Aug 03 2011 3:58 pm this is one of the best j dramas i watched. i think prob my favorite(= its a very good story and i love the concept of it.

elizabeth May 01 2011 9:07 pm this drama, just won me over yamapi...always thought he's handsome but boring...now i like him just as much as kame...probably more than kame hehe....but of course he still can't replace jun matsumoto but he's definitely on top of my list now..together with oguri shun and ikuta tuma....

one of the best dramas certainly....

he kind of reminds me of jihoo on the korean BOF..but that guy looks gay and manufactured...hehe...yamapi's look is more natural

ron Apr 12 2011 5:31 am ohh.ist really good..,!!i really love the story and also iwase kenzo!!!♥hahahahaha..,can you make a part two?

Ester Mar 03 2011 1:45 am My most favorit dorama.. Unique story, great chemistry (yamapi & masami), good soundtrack, meaningful ending "we just can change the future by the present not by the past" SUPERB DORAMA!!

Lenya Aug 11 2009 10:08 am Really good. As always, YamaP is great. Try it.....oh, and uh...I love the special too.

Sophie Jun 07 2009 8:06 pm This drama was really nice, because not only did it have a bit of a supernatural theme to it, but it had an 'aw' factor with YamaPi's romantically inept character. XD. Definetly worth watching!

natsuiro 89 Jan 26 2009 10:04 pm Halleluyah Chance best dorama I See

yuki Oct 25 2008 5:58 am Awesome this drama rocks! The best drama by far!
