75 acting credits, even more credits than a lot of Hollywood "stars", without counting soundtrack and tv appearances... I became a fan just last year watching Please Love Me, and started compulsively searching for her dramas since the beginning of her career, beautiful and talented woman... One of Japan's best.

This drama is made out of pure spite... I love the diversity in japanese dramas and how they explore the complexity of human psyche, but at the same time, I don't find any character a little redeemable. They all are terrible people. Some people get mad about teacher student relationships and crushes, but that's so common that not to mention it in student dramas would be bury your head in the sand, by a study in Sweden in 2013, one in 30 students have had a relationship with a teacher. Highly innapropiate, and I personally find it completely unethical, but it happens in all the planet and is more common than what some think.

One of the funniest japanese dramas I've seen from the 90s, Eguchi was really at his peak back then, not just in melodrama but in comedy as well. The opening song is amazing as well. I am watching it trying to enjoy each moment, I absolutely love the scenes in the flight attendand hostess bar.

I can watch this drama on a loop. I don't care what others think... I really think is really lovely, Sakura is adorkable, and those cuts where she is casually dressed as a warrior always make me laugh. Too enjoyable, at least for me.

I love that in the end it was the male lead I was rooting all the time. Sometimes some of these dramas leave me a bad taste when they go in a completely different direction from what is teased during all the show. The girl is a great actress, all male leads made a great job as well, is a really cute story with a great storytelling to keep you engaged during the whole 11 episodes.

I loved this drama, for those that are upset because the idea of a man changing gender just by returning from dead, because it has no "scientific background" you understand the concept of suspension of disbelief? If you can't stop your brain from being rational you wouldn't enjoy any fictional story... This show is really beautiful from the perspective of human identity and what really means being human beyond gender and societal conventions. I really enjoyed the character developement, the main character and wife accepting their new reality and adapting to it instead of being bitter the rest of their lives, was just a beautiful testament about human resilience. Their wife learning to know herself and realizing love trascends gender roles is one of the best messages this show has.
