University set drama with the energy and vibe of a High School CDrama

( Mentally ) I'm , sheepishly , dragging the toes of my shoes left-to-right in the dust. See, the thing is this: this is the drama which got me interested in Japan - oh, how my wallet still weeps!! I , now, have 2 1/2 copies on DVD. I have two CD soundtracks. too. Now pay attention to my name, folks!!! I changed my name to KAI because of the main character. I am not only a fan of this drama; I'm a connoisseur. The only way to watch this is by binging. Give yourself over to it. All 11 episodes of it. Back -to - back. And......keep watching past the end credits of episode 11. That last minute ties-up all the other 11 episodes like a smooth, comforting, safe and loving ribbon. I love that last minute. Like Kai and Sia it is perfect as well as made for them. Last thing, folks: the music. The original OST is beautiful. You will reflect on your life. You will want to better yourself. You will want to be in love. And you will cry. However....you'll want to run out and buy yourself a baseball cap and wear in back-to-front in order to dance like you are on a ship during a storm the moment Orange Range start performing 'Shanghai Honey '.

Overall: ' Orange Days ' is about people learning to learn about themselves and about each other. You don't have to watch it. But you must watch it.

The 2fl is being bullied, harassed and stalked. Her ex abducter her; he keeps stalking her as well as phoning her. ( He has no right to do so ). This is so negative and disrespectful of women that this stalker will probably end up with her. I would not recommend this. In any way.
