rationalis Apr 20 2025 8:26 pm One of my favorite japanese dramas ever. I can rewatch it constantly. I love the chemistry between Kyoko Fukuda and Dean Fujioka. I just can't resist Shibata's cuteness.

Jamal Apr 02 2021 10:33 pm Kyoko and Rie are hawt (so thin and pretty)

shiori Sep 25 2019 2:01 am I love shibata and shunin..... really miss them... TT

patti Aug 12 2018 11:56 am I was so happy her saying 'Shuniiiin' was like I was imagining it while reading the manga ❤

Abi May 25 2018 9:53 am Shuniiiiiiiiin ?? why haven't I taken notice of Dean Fujioka before.. he's so handsome. plus a good actor and singer. uwaaaah! this calls for binge watching of his dramas and movies. ? anyway, the series is good. I read the manga but I only got to 35/43 chapters (cos there's no more updates in the manga reading sites haha). i guess the phasing in the manga is just fine, the way Shunin and Shibata developed their relationship, but here in the series, it kinda dragged a little. i mean, the lovey-dovey is only in the last ep. hahah maybe they wanted to make it like in the manga, but, i personally got a bit bored.. i wanted to see progress in their relationship not in the last ep ya know hahahha

heyll Apr 17 2018 6:22 am I enjoyed this drama as much as I did with the manga. The way Shibata says "Shunin" is really adorable. :> There were some changes compared with the manga but I was ok with it since they really were able to capture the relationship between Kurosawa and Shibata, and even with the secondary characters :>

Inoue Mar 19 2018 9:49 pm Love this drama wished they would play it twice a week. It so cute!!

bia Aug 15 2017 9:56 pm I love this drama

ayanosuke01 May 22 2016 10:38 pm Story/ Plot - 7/10, Characters - 12/10, Music - 9/10, Overall entertainment - 10/10

Really cute and fun to watch :) I love it :D I like this story more than in the manga. Hoping for a season 2, a movie, special, anything! Shibata & Shunin are just too cute together :D

Although I admit the story and characters reminded me a lot of "Hotaru no Hikaru" ..."Shuuniiiin!!!!" .... "Buuchhooouuu!!!" ;)

mei May 22 2016 9:27 am one word to describe this drama is "kawai~~~~i" at the first time i was curious since i like the manga, but after watching the first episode i cant stop watching it. the director really know how to bring out the story. the players's acting are also superb. the drama is light but rely a lot of emotional. i also want to be save by someone like ayumu-san xixixi....

Fleng May 07 2016 7:42 am Thanks Waku Waku Japan for bringing this drama to Singapore! Loving it. Kyoko Fukada still got it! Awesomw drama.

Rere Apr 30 2016 3:57 am LOL. Me too. I watched the first episode on Waku Waku Japan and currently watching the 6th episode on Internet. I love this drama so much..

Andechii Apr 30 2016 12:08 am I just watched episode 1 at Waku waku Japan and fall in love right away! Can't wait to watch the whole series. Finally, a dose of dorama after waves of kdrama. So excited!!!!

Nes Apr 27 2016 5:47 pm I love this series

lila Apr 18 2016 7:51 am if i'm not wrong the song's name is もっと（motto) by aiko :) it becomes my fav song after watching this series.

fifi.gaia Apr 17 2016 2:28 pm Anyone know what is the slow-romantic song in this drama? Cannot find any names anywhere!

Pkkkkk Mar 19 2016 4:09 am so cute story <3

Pageant Fan Mar 14 2016 3:00 pm So nice to see Mr Japan 2013 Takayuki Suzuki in the show with Fukakyon and Dean. Quirky and heartfelt show for sure.

Pageant Fan Mar 14 2016 1:56 pm Interesting show. So fun to see Mr Japan 2013 Takayuki, Fukakyon and Dean in the show. Quiky fun loving.

Licorice Feb 15 2016 9:11 am lt's out already? Gotta watch this! Fukakyon + Dean Fujioka + Shohei! Another new dorama from Fukakyon after Second Love~~

Alya Feb 10 2016 1:09 pm I <3 this drama.

dororochan Feb 01 2016 6:53 am OMG OMG OMG !!! Dean Fujioka is so handsome and adorable here!!! Can't stop giggling while watching him and shibata bickering, it's so cute!!!

Sherman Jan 27 2016 5:01 pm Watched the first episode and fell in love with it right away :)

chibiko2000 Jan 15 2016 2:50 pm I was so excited for this drama. I love all the cast. I love how they make it reality manga and I like it not too comical because I don't want to see them overact on everything. Can't wait to see the next episode.

Faye Jan 14 2016 10:26 am Watched 1st episode. A iittle bit boring in the beginning because it lacks comedy. Though on the next part, I started to see some cute action from Kurosawa and finally decided to watch the next episode. I think the two main leads depicted the manga characters so much, except that Fukada is lacking comical expression. Overall, a so-so dorama with easy theme. The story follows its manga properly, but I hope it won't become boring halfway like From 5 to 9.

nananoyo Dec 17 2015 6:07 pm oh god now I'm hyped, I absolutely LOVE the manga and I love Nakahara~ About the female lead...well let's wait for official teasers or promo pics. Hope there will be any. Wahhh, how did I only find out about it now and just by accident?! Cheese in the Trap and Dame na Watashi ni Koishite Kudasai starting the same month? Best. January. Ever.

me_nina Nov 22 2015 12:41 pm why fukada? i don't think she is suitable to be the lead girl [Michio Shibata]. fukada is too feminine too girlish and she is not suitable to be careless and poor girl. but let's see how she works on this project..i'm a bit curious. i love the manga and love all nakahara's project. thanks for making her manga into drama tv. i'm sooo happy~ Arigatou~

dororochan Nov 18 2015 7:33 am i've read the manga, though it is still ongoing, but so far the story got me hooked! really looking forward to this!!

upitupit Nov 18 2015 1:02 am Whaaa.. its will be interesting.. so looking forward
