The storyline itself, not spectacular as such although in the 1990s it might have been considered as such, being it's first of its kind. But the acting and cast of characters largely make for it, their relationship and the ease of their banter, felt so natural. Im astounded how I didn't watch this sooner.
The romance develops itself in a quite realistic manner, and I think it amply depicts why so many couples in more recent dramas just don't sell it. It definitely had to it an undeniable charm, and I can't wait to have a rewatch.
Also I've since watched a tad of Kimura Takuya's works, but you've got to admit that the boyish charm he depicts in long vacation, really is something to appreciate.
And let's not forget Minami's absolute perfection as female lead, sensible at times but nevertheless so fierce and strong. Even the side characters were so perfect, especially Minami's brother- what an absolute scene-stealer!
Anyways, long story short- watch this!!!

I liked the banter between the two main characters, funny at times or otherwise completely ridiculous, but it works considering it's literally a story about a nun becoming a rock-star, a male one at that! You may regard this as an over the top teen drama, but I think to me what remains most memorable apart from the music is the cast- not of course always in good ways. They were not the most notable in terms of acting at the time, but the drama did introduce me to a cast of actors, that I would meet again in other dramas, so much so that it biased for a while in terms of my search of drama to watch.
I think you enjoy this the most, when you watch it once, the second watch believe me is never quite as enjoyable as the first one and it's almost impossible not to notice the quite blatant flaws of the drama.
