Tanaka kei and yoshida kotaro are both deserving, I am so happy especially to tanaka kei, after so many supporting roles he finally got his first main role and he nailed it. About the drama, its by far the funniest and real drama I've seen this year.

I think that is just a cover.

Drama for broken hearted

I love her cover of the song and the video is very creative.

Have you seen date? it's like the female leads mom in that drama.

and everytime there's other people in her apartment like the time with her boyfriend and kuroiwa she is not there.

I have this crazy theory that chizuru sensei the one who always appear with hijiri is already dead. She maybe the reason why hijiri decided to be a teacher, I don't mean she's a ghost but more likely living in hijiri's head and speaking her thought.

If I hadn't watched the original I probably would have given it a 9. It's a good movie just not good as the original. The acting is mediocre too.

The way the video was taken reminds me of sekachu. They probably got the inspiration from that drama.

I agree and the ost is awesome.

Waterboys and Rikuo are the most inspiring.

Season 1 have closure, the story didn't left hanging that it requires season 2, so I guess you'll be fine without watching season 2. I am even surprised to learn that it wil have another season. My guess is that they will just give you flashbacks on what important events that happen in season 1.

Ando sakura to me is the best Japanese actress right now. Search for the roles she has done and you will be mesmerized. Her best perfomance is in Koreeda's film Shoplifters, actually it's hard to pick her best performance because she has done alot but her performance in that movie is like one of the best I've seen in any asian films. I am happy that she is now getting attention mainstream, she will knocked any famous actress in terms of acting no doubt.

This drama reminds me of a song called "rewrite the stars", so I kinda got curious as to what will happen if I put the song in the drama. Here is result.

That reaction by the actor though. I love the casting here especially the actor, he is just new but it makes sense since the character demands to be raw and also arimura kasumi is perfect for the not so mature type of character.

Those people who drop this cause of the synopsis are missing a lot. This kind of relationship is very wrong but it's how they tell the story.

This is fantastic drama like seriously what an engaging first episode. At first glance it is that taboo kind of drama but it is way deeper than that, it is so poetic, characters are flawed but also interesting to see how they will develop. Great cinematography and music, reminds me of Soredemo, Ikite Yuku and old romance dramas like Orange days. Again you will notice a taboo type of relationship at first but they are just conveying a story of two person that has difference mentally, one graduating from a kid and the other barely an adult, so if you have that mindset of an adult you would understand this is just a fiction no need for hate. Don't worry though because based on my experience with Japanese Dramas, I bet they WILL NOT end up together in the end.

I'm digging the cinematography here and also the music, reminds me of old romance dramas.
