SnowWhite May 14 2026 11:31 am This dorama is a pure delight! Meaningful and hilarious at the same time. I will definitely go back and watch it again :)

Cherry Nov 06 2020 2:30 am Fun to watch drama, but it's actually very deep and there's always moral of the story on each episodes. Basically this drama is trying to tell us that every decision we make in life has it's own consequences. Ep 8 hits me so hard because it reminds me of my grandmother who just passed away and I never got a lot of chance to say how much I love her. And I love Edawakare dry humor.

Sagawand May 22 2020 12:03 pm Ep 3 is the highest rating there is, I suppose Fumino helps. I've seen to ep 5, halfway finished.. Recommended for good soundtrack vibe, light atmosphere. Yutaka-san kakoi desu!

DailyDrama Dec 20 2014 7:07 pm I have heard a lot of good things about this drama.

ace Dec 08 2014 6:38 pm I have come to terms with my affection for time travel on film. It opens up so many possibilities. And of course, who doesn't have something happen to them and wished they could do it over. I know I do. Almost daily.

This is pretty low key show. Not that it doesn't have humor and sadness. I just mean it is not a heavy melodrama. The casting and the script give it a real charm. Yutaka Takenouchi is great casting as the time tripping cabbie. With his mellifluous voice, he is perfect for the droll sense of humor that his character possesses. But the rest of the cast and guests are good too. Takeshi Masu, who seems to be in almost everything sooner or later, is solid. And new to me is Nao Minamisawa, as the waitress in the cafe that the cabbie frequents.

The scripts are rather clever and fun with the time travel. The humor is not manic but dry.

I recommend it.
