Great first episode, went downhill for a couple of episodes and then picked up with interesting twists in the plot. |

The last few episodes were not as tight-knit as the first half, both in terms of writing and direction. I think it lacked focus toward the last 3 to 4 episodes. But overall, quite a thought-provoking drama which gives hope. |

For me, this somehow falls short of being great. The story is good, although I didn't think that it was as dark as what some people were saying. The directing and music were good, there's a very poetic and charming feel to the entire drama. |

Very good show, I really liked Katori and Yuko's acting xD Worth watching |

Although this drama started off slow, it somehow managed to draw me in unlike any other drama like it. The story and characters was so unique and complex that you had to keep watching it to figure it all out. Katori Shingo truly shined in the role of the somewhat awkward but tough Eiji, while Takeuchi Yuko was lovely as the wounded and intelligent Mio. This drama had the best ending for a drama that I have ever seen. It just tied up the series so wonderfully, but not in an unrealistically perfect way. There will always be questions left unanswered and hardships still to come in their lives, but I was left with a feeling that they'll overcome it all and find happiness.

A very good drama, with a complex plot and great acting. The only thing keeping it from getting a perfect score is that it lacks the extra "it". But it's one of the best in a long time, no doubt. |

A very interesting drama that got you addicted after the first 5 mins. The multiple twist and turn, makes you want to watch on. The child actress who acted as Shizuku did a wonderful job, and so does Katori Shingo. A drama which is touching at times, sweet at times and confusing at times. Aha... Recommended! |

this drama was awesome at building mystery and delivering poignant scenes... but the story kinda slid down in the last few episodes; didn't quite live up to all the hype and intensity of the first few, and some points were never properly addressed (eg shingo was so scared of his violent side coming out in one of the first few eps when he saved yuko..) nevertheless, strong acting performances from the leads (esp the kid hehe) make this the best drama of the season. |

Good show! A couple episodes were on the slower/boring side and there were cheesy moments but it had excellent acting and was very nice to watch on the whole. |

Loving it so far! Shingo is absolutely gorgeous as Hanaya-san. And I love its powerful, beautiful, goosebumpy rose garden scene. |
| 19. | Comments by Nermal [Rating: 7/10]
Well as much as I love Shingo, this wasn't his best drama. It is however a nice tear jerker for sure.
There are just some plots element that are... well too complicated for what they should be really. I wouldn't necessarily say it's a must, but if you feel like a drama that'll make you cry (especially if you are a sucker for family relationships) than I recommend it. |

One of my favorite drama of the season. I like how it makes me wonder from week to week about the meaning behind all the things that happened in the drama. Katori Shingo's acting is excellent. Yuko's role is great too. They are a great combination and Shizuku is so young yet extremely understanding and intellegent. I definatley recommanded this drama. |
| 21. | Comments by Spackle1213 [Rating: 8/10]
So far, so good. I have a feeling there will be tears. |
| 22. | Comments by sadacori [Rating: 9/10]
At first, this drama didn't really interest me, but as I watched more episodes, the story turned into more of a mystery and I can't wait to see how the rest of the story unfolds. |
| 23. | Comments by lightningemperor [Rating: 10/10]
What an amazing drama full of twists. The actors were quite brilliant and Takeuchi Yuko gave another amazing performance. I was surprised w/the actress who played as Shizuku as well as Katori Shingo. This is definitely a must see! |

Starts good, become a little bit borring in the second halfe. Story is nice, but too overload. |

Just started watching the first episode and I already love it! |
| 29. | Comments by Ezalor [Rating: 7/10]
Too much of a soap opera. Way too much entanglements. Absolutely nothing special. |
| 30. | Comments by mizz_evy [Rating: 10/10]
i really like this drama. it's different from other dramas i have seen. there is many shocking parts that happen throughout the drama. |
| 31. | Comments by ume [Rating: 7/10]
OK interesting but doesn't keep me glued to the seat. Takeuchi's portrayal of a blind woman is not great. However, series does show some things about human nature. |
| 32. | Comments by wanderingfish7 [Rating: 9/10]

best drama of the season :) i am not a fan of Shingo or Yuko, but i have to say they are both wonderful actor/actress. it's been a long time since any jdorama have kept me so excited before. Shizuku is the cutest kid character ever. |
| 36. | Comments by oldasianguy [Rating: 8/10]
Thought that this could of been a great romantic drama but misses the mark... good cast...especially the little girl..mask and all.....but the show was kind of draggy at times...... The most annoying and weirdest feature of this show was Matsuda Shota's hair....what was the point....??? |
| 37. | Comments by ct_subang [Rating: 7/10]
guess this drama keeps me up this season!Shingo in a quite somber role...not the cheerful type..i must say although Tamayama appears in the wee final eps...Shizuku is the best of all!!Even Yuko didn't got my vote! |

I could've give it a 9 but with the tons of twist, it gradually made me less interested. The very last twist ruined it all for me. I guess if that last twist didn't happen then it could have been a big challenge for Shingo's character. I would definitely loved to see how Eiji would fight back to protect Shizuku, too bad it didn't happen. But I must say, it was really nice to see Takeuchi Yoko back on track, hope to see more of her, she's really a good actress. |

Katori Shingo in a role that is differs from his usual ... and wow ... Takeuchi Yuko's hair looks great! A "7" otherwise. |
| 41. | Comments by hisashi [Rating: 9/10]
Definitely one of my most touching drama of the year. A good plot with lots of twist, a lot of heartwarming moment. A must watch drama of the season. |
| 42. | Comments by pinkokoro [Rating: 9/10]
COMPLETE. HS. this is a drama where you don't know where to start for a review or a synopsis. the very first episode is even filled with spoilers. describing the drama will mean to spat out spoilers. and trying to leave out the spoilers and give a general synopsis is doing no justice to it. the only way, I'm recommending it to everyone in need of a very heartwarming yet unpredictable drama. the last 2 epsiodes however are bit pale compared to earlier one. |
| 43. | Comments by v1olet [Rating: 10/10]
what a wonderful dorama. really enjoyed watching it. the story, the casting, the theme song are superb and impressive. Yuko Takeuchi, Nojima Shinji, Tatsuro Yamashita, Yagi Yuki deserved the awards. Would be best if Shingo Katori won the best actor. Cute and gentle O-Hanaya-san. |

very unusual love story... can watch... |
| 45. | Comments by aoi_dolphine [Rating: 8/10]
Shingo charater is quite a humble florist but has a secret which he has kept from his daughter. I was kind of drawn into the little girl who act as his daughter in this drama. Opps forgot that Takeuchi Yoko is back in this drama with tamatetsu playing the bad guy. Overall a well balance cast which makes this drama worth watching. |
| 46. | Comments by kireiyuhi [Rating: 9/10]
The little girl is sooo cute in this drama. I really loved this drama and seeing Katori Shingo is this drama made me think he would make a really good father. I think Matsuda Shota likes to have roles where he gets beat up. Oh well. This is definitely a must watch. |
| 47. | Comments by donna8157 [Rating: 8/10]
This was a good drama although it felt a little too much kdrama-ish. Katori Shingo plays a flower seller named Eiji who rears a young girl (his daughter) named Shizuku (name for a tear). The mother whom he had loved passed away while delivering the baby. The story starts when the girl is in primary school and Eiji meets a mysterious but beautiful blind girl in front of his flower shop.
The acting is very good in this series and it had so many touching moments although some seemed a little too contrived (ie Korean drama). My favorite aspect of the show was the father-daughter scenes. They were so beautifully crafted with the cinematography and lines, especially those of Shizuku. Although the actress was so young, she was able to execute those lines with such perfection.
Some of the plot elements seemed forced, but it didn't take away too much from the overall effect of this series. I highly recommend watching it. |

Very good story... Superb acting by Takeuchi Yuko... But the ending a bit anti-climax and predictable... Still.. it's one good drama.. |

A very good drama about love, betrayal, fatherhood and friendship! |
| 55. | Comments by snow_san [Rating: 3/10]
More of a light mystery/suspense drama than romantic as the synopsis led me to believe. Some really touching scenes between Eiji&daughter and Eiji&Mio in the first few episodes. From the 4th on, the focus is on the many twists&turns. The pace is very slow. The sappy scenes weak. Shingo's character dull. The final episode moreorless wrapped things up as opposed to finishing strong. |

very touching. great acting. watch! |

This drama was pretty good. It kept me on the edge of my seat. I liked the relationship between Shizuku and her father. The cast was really great and it made the enjoyment of the drama all worth the watch. |
