With an original plot like that, this drama could have gone so many places... except it didn't. It quickly degraded to being just cliches and everyone falling for Eita. By the end I was wondering why the hell I was still watching it. It becomes at least retarded after a certain point, and all it has left in my memory is that it was probably the worst drama I have ever seen. And I am a huge JJ fan. And a huge Ueno Juri fan. I practically adore everyone on this cast. Still.
I get angry every time I hear that it's similar to Last friends... That was a great drama. It went all sorts of places, and probed at all sorts of issues. This... everything felt like a cheap attempt at probing issues and problems of today's society. It could have been really good if it kept on in that direction, actually digging deep, actually saying something. I am surprised that so many people liked it "because it was soooo deep and meaningful", even though it was so incredibly shallow. Not even a scratch.

I can't give the acting more than 6, although they were fine, just that the scenario was so badly written, it's impossible to bother with whether they say it with the right expression, when it feels like a bad joke in any case.
