Heart-wrenching dorama [Rating: 10/10]
Wow... the writer really knows how to squeeze tears from viewers... I cried from the first episode right till the last. This is a really touching dorama, it left my heart feeling warm long after watching it. The relationship between Shunsuke and the children, Shiki with her family, and Shunsuke's struggle against himself and Shiki's support all the way... simply must watch.
This series reminds me a bit of Virgin Road, not with the storyline but more to the same tear-jerking and warmth effect... The most memorable part is the final scene, when Shunsuke is finally losing his eyesight (it's not a spoiler cos we all know it's gonna happen anyway), it's just one of the best ending scene in a dorama that I ever watched (T^T) If u gotta watch one episode only, watch the last scene!!!! It's the most worth-watching 3 minutes scene I ever seen! |

Very touching [Rating: 9/10]
A very good drama that is sadly overshadowed by Orange Days of the same season. It's a touching and mellow love story without being overly melodramatic.
A story told more from Shiki's (Kanno Miho) POV and she does a very good job as the very selfless and likeable Shiki who never gave up on Shinsuke. The superb cast, esp Shiki's family and friends, is another reason to watch this drama. One of the better dramas I have watched the last few years. |

Quite a nice show on the whole. I didn't really cry for any parts the show.. some parts are quite heartwarming.. but i found it abit draggy at the same time. Nice ending.. overall it's good! :) |

very very touching and heart warming [Rating: 9/10]
I love Naohito Fujiki, he never fail to make me love him more with his shows. what i want to say about this show had been said by other viewers here. I found the first two discs average, but started crying from the 3rd discs to the last 8th. I am so touched by Miho's love for him, i am also very touched when his mother said she wanted to donate her eyes to him. I also kinda like the rich girlfriend, i don't know if she could hang on as long as miho if Azumi had chosen her, but I admire her love too, don't you? and her dad's support... there is so much love in this show, and yet it is not the cheesy and overdoing type, just so natural....
Naohito's face a little sunken, please eat more and take care of yourself if you are reading this (fat hope i know.). But he is still my dashing naohito. Hope to see more good show from him. |

So So [Rating: 7/10]
I think the story is quite good, but I can't feel any emotion from this drama and I'm not sure why. Miho acted bad, she's not showing her best performance it's look like she acted not with all of her heart (she's disappointed me). Fujiki always acting like that, but it seems like (for me) he also acted not so good in this drama.
The ending is too short and just like that (happy ending). |

one of the best dramas [Rating: 9/10]
with fujiki naohito & kanno miho leading, i knew it was going to be heart-warming n tear-jerking :) nevertheless, both leads gave excellent performances, especially fujiki who portrayed his playful-outside-vulnerable-inside character to perfection. he is seriously getting hotter with his age *drool*
even the supporting cast did a great job in the drama. shiki's family & the kids in the hospital made the drama more diverged & interesting. heart-warming, touching, romantic, amusing, hilarious at times... definitely one of the better-class j-dramas around |

Excellent soap drama. Must-watch!! [Rating: 9/10]
This has to be the best Jdorama of year 2004. Excellent script, brilliant director, talented casts and superb storyline. It took me merely two days to sum up watching the entire story. I love the songs so much! To say less, good stuff are all packed in this series. Grab a set for yourself. It's worth your money and time. |

Great story with superb casts [Rating: 10/10]
Wow, this show is fantastic. I'm re-introduced to Fujiki Naohito in this dorama. Did not realise that he was in GTO cos his character is very different in this dorama. The flow of the story is good and it helps that it's got a great ending :) |

Love & Strength [Rating: 10/10]
If you can get pass the first 3 episodes which progress rather slowly, you will fall in love with this one. The delivery by the director is like you are seeing it from the characters' eyes so you feel like you are a part of the story. Shiki's love and strength touches me deeply. Kanno Miho's acting is indeed superb! Subtle yet naturally convincing. The story portrays the different types of love & sacrifice in times of obstacles. Very moving story that lingers in my mind even after I've finished watching. Beautiful soundtrack too. |
