This is a show to watch when one wants a good lighthearted show to lift up their mood. It's short, as many usual Japanese shows are, therefore everything that happens makes the plot move; it's not draggy. There are the exaggerated scenes, but I guess it's because it's adapted from a rom-com manga. And hey, it's part of its charm! The casts are great. They portray their characters very well especially the two main leads, Yamamoto Yusuke and Nishiuchi Mariya. I'd only seen Yamamoto Yusuke in Hana Kimi and Paradise Kiss before watching this so I still didn't know much about his acting skills (because he didn't have much appearance in both which I could use to assert if I like him or not). He didn't disappoint me, though. I believe he did a good job in portraying Yamada Ryu. There are scenes when I couldn't help but think that, "WHOA THERE! HOW WERE YOU ABLE TO FILM THAT?" Such scenes became the reason why I'm looking forward to see more of his shows. He is really admirable for me in this one. Meanwhile, I've seen Nishiuchi Mariya in Seigi no Mikata and Switch Girl! so I have a pretty good impression of her. I believe she's at her best in this show whenever she's acting as Yamada Ryu. As for others, I believe they did their job well. There are no other ones who I deemed so memorable except Ide Takuya and Kobayashi Ryoko, though. The ending songs an upbeat one so it gives the feels for the show. In my opinion, though, it's not so outstanding. The music played on specific parts just fits the scenes. For me, this is good to re-watch especially when stressed over academic stuff. HAHA! I truly enjoyed watching each and every episode. I'll definitely re-watch this someday. I would recommend this to those stressed over work or school stuff. Or this can also be a break for those who want to pause watching melodrama shows. Or this can also be a show to watch for bonding time with friends.
