If anyone has read the novel this is based on, I'd love to hear from you! :) Doesn't matter if you read this comment two years from now or whenever, I'll still be interested. :)

Yeah, I suppose he could have! There were times when I thought so, too, and I wouldn't have been disappointed if Sakura had chosen him. But like you, in the end, I'm happy it was Hiroto.

Also, I liked Shima! I want to see that actress in more roles, because she's gorgeous, but I haven't yet.

So have you completed LC now? What did you think of it overall? I see from the comment below that you're watching H no H now. I watched them in that order, too...

I think I want to watch this! I wasn't sure, but you made it sound interesting, and if it has good "food porn"... count me in! :)

Episode 10 already! :) Yes, Choko was so horrible!! Hiroto... I don't remember details of specific episodes, but I believe that it was somewhere around episode 10 when I was mostly on Tachibana's side. :)

I liked it a lot during the first seven or so episodes. I found it sweet and actually somehow touching!

However, later on they added a lot of unnecessary twists that felt like they were only there to make the story longer. They should have cut a few things and wrapped this up in nine eps instead of eleven.

I thought Katori Shingo's character was really cute. I loved the acting of the main leads and their parents. Fujiki Naohito was also doing a good enough job with his not so nice character. The supporting characters, though, became too annoying. Ohkura Koji and Naka Riisa are overacting so much that I could barely stand watching them during the last hanful of episodes!! But I did complete it, because I wanted to see what happened. I rated it 7.

You must tell me when/if you watch Koi! :) My 10 might be mostly just a reflection of my emotional response to it? I don't know if you'll like it as much as did, I've just always on some level been drawn to the theme "young girl seduced by older man/woman"... but I'm looking forward to your judgement. I might have lost my brain somewhere the moment I saw Iura Arata's name with this synopsis. (I don't want to be that biased, but who dares to trust a known fangirl's review?)

Eh, I happened to read the first episode review and felt like I had to say something, too. Because that person seemed to like the thing I had a problem with.

That's good - at this point, you're not supposed to be sure so I guess that means the story works for you. :)

Haha, my first reaction to Hiroto was: "Huh?! What is this guy?! It's not possible for a man to be this beautiful!! He's too dazzling to be attractive!"... It took some time for me to get used to him. (...and then I did find him attractive. I don't know; sometimes I think I'm crazy.)

LC was actually the fifth j-drama I watched, so I was still trying to understand and adjust to the way gender roles are portrayed...

Oh, and happy birthday!! :D

I'm glad you like it so far! :) I didn't start really liking it until the third or fourth episode, but then I thought it became really good. (I also really disliked Tachibana in the first few episodes, haha!)

Oh, thank you!! The last time I looked under "Newly Added", it wasn't there, and I had almost given up hope... Thanks! :D

I'm currently watching this (8/11). I love it! I wasn't sure I'd like it before I started it, but I'm definitely glad I decided to watch. There are beautiful moments, sad moments, cute moments, frustrating moments, moments that are swoon-worthy because the actors have faces that can show their character's inner thoughts and feelings, surprising moments... Also, the couple is so beautiful together, looking at them almost hurts my eyes! I don't know what the ending lontongstroong is talking about is going to be like, but I don't doubt that it's great.

I didn't listen to Japanese music when I was younger, and I didn't watch anime or anything, so that's why I still feel like I'm discovering new things all the time. :)

I hadn't heard that song before, but I found it on YouTube. Sounds like something I could have listened to when I was about 14. Haha. I like Trick! She and Abe Hiroshi are a fun duo. I have it on hold because even though it's fun I only enjoy it a little bit at the the time... Other than Gokusen, I liked her in Shima no sensei and The Tempest.

You're right, it Renai Neet does sound similar. I wonder why it's not on my PTW list?
...Probably because it goes without saying that I do want to watch almost anything with Nakama Yukie. :)

Haha, thanks! :)
I don't know about Akumin; I'm not sure about how much the plot doesn't appeals to me, but somebody recently mentioned it as a favorite, so I thought, maybe. I recently saw both main actors in Slow Dance and I liked them... maybe that's part of why I added it! It's not high on my list of priorities.

No, I haven't seen Sexy Voice and Robo, but I think I get your point anyway! :)

I'm glad you don't mind! :) Some of us are like that, that's good. :) I like the way you think, to see it as an update. :)

That's a cute profile picture. In the feeds, I just noticed that there was something new and that it was pink, so I had to go here and take a proper look at it. :)
