It didn't need grand settings, situations, or even words just to get the drama's messages across the viewers. It was simple yet touching. The major points and plot twists in the story were executed with the right timing. Maybe, I was just a little confused (and curious at the same time) during the first few episodes since it didn't directly present a concrete story line right at the beginning.
CAST/ACTING:
The cast was superb. And no, I am not exaggerating about it. Their acting made me really feel that this kind of story does really happen and that how they acted is the way people react to this kind of situation. Also, let me just say, "oh, Odagiri Joe."
MUSIC:
All I can say is that the first few lines of the ending song gets through and pierces my heart. Bow.
OVERALL:
I was entertained by the story (I laughed and cried a lot) and at the same time I was reminded of a lot of good things about life and growing up (or old). I will certainly watch it again. :)

It wasn't unique but it's also not quite interesting for me. Although I loved the push-and-pull drama of the main characters, I cannot really fully relate to the central conflict that the heroine was experiencing. I just thought simple things were made complicated.
CAST/ACTING:
YamaKen was OK. It's my first time seeing him in a drama after reading so much about him in Jdrama new sites. The two Shoheis were fine. Kiritani Mirei just either made me cringe or laugh. I'm sorry.
MUSIC:
Nothing really exceptional about the music.
OVERALL:
Hmmm. I think I can watch it again. I really have mixed feelings about this drama. Overall, I enjoyed the chemistry of the main couple and the brotherhood of the ikemens. :)

The story is not extraordinary BUT it really left me wanting to finish it in one sitting. I loved that each episode is short and thematic. As pointed out by other viewers and reviewers, the story was further polished because of the cinematic elements included in it.
CAST/ACTING:
I think most of us was curious of how Ueno-T.O.P. pairing would go and I can say that they totally did well. Apart from the story, I watched the drama because of Ueno Juri and she never fails to prove how versatile she can be. T.O.P. is such a surprise because aside from music videos, it's the only time I saw him act and he was good.
I was just a little concerned/bothered with the acting of the supporting characters. I had a bit of a difficult time watching them (sometimes). Koide Keisuke (the phone thief) was such a charmer even for just a few minutes. <3
MUSIC:
T.O.P.'s song was sweet but other than that I can't remember parts in the drama where I was enthralled because of the music.
OVERALL:
The drama totally satisfied the part in me that wants to watch rom-coms with a twist.

Honestly, I was a bit hesitant about watching this drama a few years ago. I thought it was too heavy for me but watching the first episode got me hooked and until now I still watch some of its episodes because it's just so realistically inspiring. The idea that the drama revolved around the mistakes of the main characters was so appealing to me that I cry when they cry because I really feel emotionally absorbed while watching the drama. I think the drama portrayed that humans are naturally pure and honest - that we make honest mistakes but we can always make up for it with sincerity and genuine desire for change.
CAST/ACTING:
I considered watching this drama solely because of Miura Haruma and I thank him for always being just so good. Erika Toda and Emi Takei are just as amazing as Haruma.
MUSIC:
Although sometimes the lyrics of the songs are irrelevant, using Pink's voice for this series was a good move by the producers. The song "F. Perfect" blended really well with the drama's plot.
OVERALL:
This is one of my favorite dramas of all time so in my biased opinion, I highly recommend this series even to beginner Jdrama fans. This is the other side of the rom-coms and suspense thrillers that Japanese TV series are popular with.
