I did hesitate to watch this drama before because of the synopsis. I don't like this kind of story. Anyone will sure get hurt in this kind of story. I don't want to see Tsuyo to be ambiguous. Well, I don't want any of JDG, Kimura be ambiguous character XD So, I never want to find out more about Moto Kare. Not untill I think it's Ochie's wallpaper posted @ lacreme some times ago. That's a sweet one and I'm starting curious. Well, anyway, I need to see all of his works too. So i decided to watch it and I'm not regret!^^
Not special but still interesting story. Not the best act from Tsuyo, but still.. it's Tsuyo :P.
I like the pair of Tsuyo-Hirosue since Summer Snow. They both make a sweet couple^^
I had a feeling that many will hate it. I probably too for the story sake. But, blame it to the caster who chosed for Tsuyo and Hirosue as the casts, meanwhile they really did great before in Summer Snow. This drama is like reunion for Natsuo and Yuki! Sorry Nao, but I support Makoto-Toji here.
I also enjoyed this drama because of Toji's & Makoto's work. I'm working in retail business as well, though the field is different but the main point is the same. Somehow it encouraged me XD
For Tsuyo-Hirosue pair fans, this drama is a must to see. Don't expecting more but better than nothing (you know what i mean? :P)
Oh, I just knew that Hakka Candy was the theme song :P I didn't like the song before. I don't like the tone. But not until I heard the concert version on 39 DVD. They performed it so well and made the song sounds beautiful. And after listening to this song as the theme song of this drama, read the lyric translation, I can appreciate the song even more now. The lyric match well with the story.
Insert song is Tsunami? How can I didn't hear the song? Instead, I thought the insert song is the English song, You Needed Me by Anne Murray and another one, I didn't know the title. No, I don't think I heard Tsunami. Later, I will check again.
Ahh, I can't do any snapshots this time! The CD won't play in the notebook :(
I'm in the mood of Tsuyo again now *_*

I pretty sure that the insert song for the drama is tsunami but it was only in the original Japanese version that was shown on tv, not the dvd version I think. I'm guessing licensing issues.
I saw both version and was surprised as you. Tsunami was definately the better insert song. :D
Ah ic. Hehee I really like to see a scene with Tsunami as insert song^^
