At first the story seemed interesting and unique, but as time passed the plot became weaker and weaker. It was definitely over-dramatic for my taste. I like heavy themes and different situations, but this drama was mediocre in my opinion. The plot was predictable, the acting was average, and the characters were not believable. The last two episodes tried to operate with character-development, but that was too late. The only reason I could watch it till the end was Haru, for she was well portrayed. Other than her I was extremely irritated by Miwa-chan and her mother. I can't think of any other characters in dramas that had the same effect on me (that is shouting out loud whenever they did something stupid; and trust me, they frequently did). I guess the show would've gotten a 6 from me if there were no Miwa-chan.
