So much in love

I'm not a fan on the medical drama I just read all the review and second Takero Satoh my favorite and I like
Kamishiraishi Mone so cute I thought she was 18 or 19. I know the story so common a girl first in love with a handsome rich guy or higher from the status of the girl.
The story quite so cutely I have seen this kind of story what I love it the Lead actors I have seen some dramas of Takero Satoh mostly action its not the typical love story kinda new for me to see Takero Satoh in drama a comedy romance. I have seen The 8-Year Engagement kinda serious. Here it was a new form of drama Takero Satoh mostly more on action one of the reasons I watch it.
At the first episode so much fun that's how I love watching this drama and the phasing of the story so fast that's how I want it and the character of Sakura Nanase so natural, so cute. She was determined to be positive despite Tendo always insult her. Tendo so monster and so serious of his profession as a doctor. Now their angel makes him fall to be in love with this cute Sakura Nanase.
Finally, Tendo is now so sweet and in love with Sakura. I love Tendo even he was afraid to lose Sakura after the accident he still gives freedom to dream Sakura to go study abroad. How do I wish there is a guy like Tendo?
I love the ending so much satisfied with the story. I watch this more than 10 times. I don't have a dull moment in every episode. So much in love with this couple so lovely to watch. I was really hoping they'll end to be a real couple. I'm not just in love with the story but also Takero Satoh and Kamishiraishi Mone team up they're such lovely couples. I was so following them so much hooked of these two so much in love.

If not the best it will be one of the best of 2020


I had my doubts about this show because I was judging the book by it's cover, I thought it was too much girly to me, without any importance and I even postpone multiple times watching it, but definitely it worth it, with an amazing female lead character and a well constructed story, this show will bring the viewers to really touching moments.

I must highlight the first episodes, they were just perfect, the extra episodes of the spin off, the ending song, and as I did before the female lead role with whom you can't help but love her.

This is one of those rare dramas where the cast, their chemistry, the location and the OST all comes together to make a perfectly fluff filled rom com. Yes, the story has some points that aren't entirely believable, but then is any story based on 'love at first sight' truly rooted in reality? I watch dramas for a break from reality, so I suspended my imagination for 10 perfectly made episodes and thoroughly enjoyed this drama. And now I have a new favorite japanese actor (Takeru Satoh), and a new favorite japanese band. (Trust me, the OST is amazing and you have to check out other songs by them, like Pretender).
If you saw the poster and were immediately drawn to it, then stop contemplating and just watch the drama right now!!

This was the kind of drama I was looking for - light, romantic, a lot of cute moments, no villains, happy ending, I don't care if parts of it were unrealistic, this is a drama and what this type of dramas are all about - feel good.

I liked Kairi throughout this drama - I didn't really find him mean even when he was in his devil mode. Once he figured out his feelings for Nanase he was just sweet and straightforward (in his own way) about it. No being indecisive, no misunderstandings - he is cute when he is jealous.

Nanase was an okay character. I found her clumsiness annoying but she made up of for it on other parts of the story so all good.

In two episodes I was thinking, oh no! Are we going through all that cliche of having a lot triangle and heroic sacrifice - nope all resolved by the end of the episode and it just made me like Kairi more :-)

However, I did find Ryuko and Nishi a very awkward couple. I don't have anything about older female/younger male couples, but they were really awkward to watch, I couldn't get into the feeling of them being a couple. It just didn't click..., maybe it the manga they were? But not in this drama.

Happy feelings after watching - rewatch yes, definitely.....I will be having withdrawal symptoms for a while with this drama.

I know a lot of people who watch Kdrama, Cdrama, Tdrama, and Jdrama, are probably worried that this Japanese series have goldfish pecks on some ep. I know that I am one of them, but fear not! the actor are actually going in on the kisses!! I was bored during quarantining so I went on YT to look at some new drama to watch, and randomly my YT pop up on one of their kisses on my recommendation so I clicked it. Holy Moly! my toes and finger were curling and sweating because it was steamy, as in cute and flirty, but not in an erotic. This was what hooked me in to watch the drama. As a bonus, I'll tell you guys that the actors are actually not one dimensional like almost every Jdrama that is overreacting and exaggerated everything.

Same Old Troupe, Brilliantly Executed

I started this drama not expecting much or, actually expecting it to be somewhat like Itazura Na Kiss, in that the female character (Sakura Nanase) is so in love with the male character (Tendo Kairi) that she would do anything for him and at the same time be completely stupid. Boy was I wrong!!

Story:
The story revolves around Sakura Nanase, who fell in love at first sight with Tendo Kairi and from that point on, decides to dedicate her life to making sure she would meet him again, this time as a nurse in the hospital he works at as a doctor. At first, she appears to be stupid, without any practical knowledge, but this is quickly shown as simple inexperience and nervousness. In this case, Sakura-san is quite an observant and kind nurse, who loves to learn, with the goal to become a good nurse. Even-though, the reason she became a nurse is because of Tendo- sensei she does not live for him and is constantly looking for self-growth.

On the other hand we have Tendo-sensei, who is a brilliant cardiologist, very focused on his work and known throughout the hospital as the Devil due to his exacting and hight standards for patient treatment. In the beginning he is not impressed with Sakura-san, since she openly declares her love upon meeting him and her not being up to par in patient treatment. Most importantly he never mistreats her or makes fun of her to the level of Irie Naoki, which in my book makes him a great human being. Although, he immediately notes her care for the patients is sincere and life-saving several times, as is show in several episodes of the drama, so he starts to slowly respect her as a colleague, which allows for later on his developing feelings for her.

Acting/Cast:
I like the two main actors, and their performance is good for this tv series. I feel that Sato Takeru shines in the serious tsundere type of character, which let it be said also makes it rather easy for the actor, since the character does not show a wide range of emotions. In the case of Kamishiraishi Mone, her character is consistently shiny, kind ad lovable, which also does not allow for a wide range of emotions, but I believe she did a good job of it. The side characters do tend to be a little over the top, but that is something common in all of Japan's romantic-comedies.

Music:
It is a pleasure to hear the track called "I Love..." by Official HIGE DANdism which is spectacular and I can listen to it continuously. The downside is that, this tack is the only one I clearly remember, so that speaks a lot about the variety of the music used and the impact it had on the audience.

Rewatch Value
Definitely rewatchable!! It is cute, it is short, it hits all the right buttons, and every one watching it will love it. What I like about this drama is that, even-though it is a romantic comedy, with some over the top embarrassing moments, the rest of the story far outweighs them and we can clearly see character growth in the leads. It is a simple and fluffy tv series, that will let you relax after watching some heavier stuff.

The relationship was unbalanced and weird

I went into it thinking that this would be a wholesome and fluffy drama that wouldn't be too dark. I was wrong. In the very first two episodes the ML was a huge a-hole, the FL was a pushover, a little girl tried to commit su*cide, and a patient the FL became friends with just died all of a sudden. So yeah, not very wholesome in my books.

The thing that bothered me the most in this drama however were the leads and their relationship. I normally don't have a problem with age gaps, if both people in the relationship are consenting adults that don't have a big difference in maturity. In this drama's case, "difference in maturity" is a key term. If I counted correctly, the ML and FL had at least 5-8 years age difference, AND THAT DEFINITELY SHOWED. A lot of the time the FL looked and acted like an actual child, even though she was supposedly 23 years old, which is basically my age. And even to me the FL was very childish, a human door mat and even really annoying at times. She made a huge life altering decision to become a nurse just because she had a crush on a random guy she met ONCE??

And don't even get me started with the ML. From the very beginning pretty much to the last episode he was really cold and did not express any other emotion than annoyance or indifference. That didn't really change as the drama went on, his character development was absolutely nonexistent. I literally snorted and said "B!tch WHERE" when he said "She was the one who changed me." about the FL, because he was literally the same person at the beginning and the end. It took 9/10 episodes before that useless dude got the words "I like you" out of his mouth, and at that point they had already "dated" for several episodes?? Even the way they started "dating" was absolutely ridiculous, he just basically said "OK fine I'll be your boyfriend" out of nowhere and that was IT?? Not to mention that he even proposed to her after knowing her for like what, a few weeks, or a few months tops? That's so stupid. Also the squinting thing the ML did with his eyes all the time to supposedly look somehow "cool" or "mysterious" just made him look ridiculous. So yeah, TLDR: the ML was cold and uncharismatic for the entire drama, and the FL was a childish doormat who let the ML walk all over her and pretty much thanked him for it afterwards. Also I can not fathom HOW on earth did not just one or two but FOUR men all fall for Sakura?? She was so annoying and childish it didn't make any sense to me. Unless the thing they all liked about her was that she was very child-like... but that's a whole other creepy suitcase to unpack and I don't really wanna go there.

Overall, to me the relationship between Sakura and Tendo didn't feel natural, healthy or balanced. Sakura was absolutely obsessed with Tendo for 5 years, and she was very vocal about her feelings, and the energy that Tendo gave to Sakura wasn't even close to what Sakura was giving to him. They started dating but it didn't feel like it at all because it was handled in such a weird way. Tendo did not say a word to Sakura about liking her before like the second last episode. Also Tendo was clearly more experienced in relationships, which also made their relationship unbalanced. Their whole relationship felt very weird to me and I didn't think they were a good match at all. I also didn't feel a lot of chemistry between them, I think mostly because Sakura was so childish and Tendo so cold. So yeah needless to say I did not enjoy this drama, if you did, fine, but it was just not my cup of tea at all.

EDIT: Ohhh I just checked the lead actors' profiles and Sakura's actress was 21-22 at the time this drama aired, and Tendo's actor was 30, no wonder I felt iffy about them together :/ I'm literally the same age as Sakura's actress, we were born on the same year, and even a thought of having to kiss a man in his 30s creeps me out even if it was just acting.

I'm just thinking the writer cant really decide whether she wants this drama to be romance with the medical elemets or other wise.

The plots were messy. It seems the writer just dump every cliche elements into the plot and they ends up pointless. The stalker who came out of nowhere, the meeting of Tendo with Sakura's family, the accident and Sakura's comatose period, the Kamijo's pursuing and suing, the Shinji-Ryouko romance, the Sakai-Sakura friendship, the third-wheelers (Kisugi and Miori).

This is a predictably cute dramas with lack of depth each characters' development except for the female lead. It still watchable thanks to the actors. Or I might say it's a waste that Satoh Takeru is in the drama.

*A romantic bad boy/good girl type drama in which male lead shows seems tough but infect is very kind*


This is drama is a definite watch because it contains everything that we like from a perfect story to excellent performance by the actors special lead actors.
Well this drama a contain a starcross romance between a doctor and a nurse.
Our female lead first met our male lead for the first time five years ago unexpectedly and from that day she is madly in love with our ML she studied very hard to become a nurse so she can meet him because he was a doctor.
And there starcross they meet again.

*Detailed*

Have you ever loved someone so much and irrationally so optimistic that someday you will be with him and to be near him every single day, and you really try hard to make it come true? Well this drama is all about it.

I was so much enjoyed watching this drama, the plot is nothing new, it’s about to pursue your first love to become yours.

It’s nice, funny, and you won’t find someone really cunning in this drama.
Every episode ends well, you will excited to watch how the story goes on.
I love watching how good the chemistry between the casts Takeru and Mone.
I am also impressed to watch the relationship of doctors, nurses and patients in Japan in this drama, as well as their technology in medic.
You will love to see the cities of Tokyo and Osaka in this drama.

Nurse Sakura is a hopeless romantic.
From the beginning she declares the whole world that she loves doctor Tendo.
She may looks naive and irrationally in love to him, but her love towards him is pure, strong and sincere.
She works so hard to become a good nurse. She is clumsy, kindhearted to patients, and cheerful. She likes to fantasize dating with doctor Tendo, and like a Warrior - she never give up on her love to him. She remains optimistic that someday he will love her even he seems ignorant and cold to her.

The two opposite characters of this couple are the main attraction of this romantic drama.
Since a million years he knew that she doesn’t suit him, she is not as smart as him, but still he starts falling for her.
It’s so sweet to see how doctor Tendo's love for nurse Sakura develops slowly and in the end he loves her as much as she loves him.

Believe me, you will not regret watching this drama. Highly recommended!

Peace out

Cute Story

This was such a cute Drama to watch. It short so it makes it easy to knock out in just a day or two of binge watching. Overall the story line was very cute and it gave me that sweet sweet serotonin we are all searching for. As someone who works in electrophysiology I really appreciated the accuracy of the patient illnesses and treatments. Some are a little far fetched but it was enough that I did not have to suspend by disbelief.
As for the acting the actors seemed very into their parts. Although I wish the male lead's role had more sustenance to it so that he didn't seem overly stoic. Up until the last few episodes I might even go as far as to compare the role to that of Kristen Stewart's in Twilight. Often times the second hand embarrassment from how cringey the female lead was too much to bear without pausing or looking away.
I liked the music, although I'm pretty sure it was just two songs ( or maybe even one and its just the instrumental version ad the version with words and i never noticed until the last episode). Would have been nice to have more variety in the soundtrack.

Would i rewatch this?
Simple answer, yes. Thus far, there has only been one asian drama that i knew right after watching it the first time that I would rewatch it. This is not that drama. However, i would not be against rewatching it. It is not the type of show I am adamant about rewatching, but if i needed something to cheer me up or to fill the void I would have no problem putting this on. I guess in a few words it is just a comforting show.

After watching a lot of dramas with a lot of complicated twists and turns in its plot, I was looking for something light but sweet. And luckily, someone from MDL posted this on the feed and stumbled upon it.

Wasn't really expecting much from this drama because 1.) not really familiar with it 2.) not familiar also with jdrama that much, i have only watched a few so far 3.) i don't know the actors 4.) well, it only has 10.5 episodes. Can't really expect a lot from that.

It started quite okay. Honestly, I thought it was gonna be another "They kissed Again" adaptation. But it was somewhat different. The more I watched, the more I got hooked. The plot was light but not too light that it gets boring for the viewers. There was also enough cliches which is my guilty pleasures in dramas especially romcoms. And what surprised me the most is that, despite the age gap of the leads, I really liked their chemistry together (just a back story, not really fan of age gaps hehe. it's more of a personal preference).

I'm really thankful that I stumbled upon this drama. Really really nice. It brightened up my week :)

I guess now unto the next drama <3

Ok. Let me start by saying I loved the story. Loved the actors. It was super cute and well written. Now did I want to smack the lead actress a lot of times YES. Did I want to go thru the screen and hit her in the back of the head. YES. She was a bit frustrating. But I still love it all. I would watch it again and the music was great. The ending was super super cute. I loved how we know about everyone. The main male lead was great. I want to see more of his stuff. I liked how nothing was dragged on too long.

Músic was great
Actors were great
Rewatch yes
Would recommend 100%
