kenshii Nov 28 2020 12:40 pm i hate harukas character.. ughh.. shes the worst

Hirano Mar 03 2020 4:38 am Acting wise, shida mirai is very good! But they should have casted a not that tall guy as her partner. She looks better with guys with not so much height difference coz shes too smol. Heights of Hayashi Kento, Kanata Hongo, Yamada Ryosuke, Kamiki Ryunosuke, would be ideal. Anyway the drama was so deep

Kim Dec 15 2018 1:16 am They should not pick shuhei for shida's partnee as their height gap is big. It looks awkward on screen.
