1. Liked the beginning... but hate the ending. [Rating: 7/10]
It was a rather good show. It was funny and light-hearted in the beginning but the drama became rather somber towards the end. Don't like the ending.
Pretty good chemistry between the 2 lead actors though.

2. Great Story [Rating: 8/10]
The storyline is good. Takuya and Hamada both put in very convincing performances. Very entertaining.

Similar to Gift. Only for Kimura's fans. A bit of gannster type of drama.

Kimtaku is the star, but Hamada stole the show in this one. Really liked his character and he did a great job. Both he and Kimtaku worked well together. Ishida and Iijima very good as well.

The earlier episodes were quite hilarious. A story of two people who become good friends for unlikely reasons. Later episode became serious but still worth a watch.

Finally finished it. I actually love the first part better. Dark comedy and not too complicated. I love the doctor Takuya though. Yum! :-D

Takuya was hontonii kakkoiii!!! But really, Hama-san was the main 'attraction' in this drama. BTW, they both have a GREAT chemistry!

I only watched it for Kimu Taku. It was going in the direction of being mysterious but came across as a dark drama to me.

i would say this drama is good. if only the local station will make the effort to re-telecast it on tv again. its shown during the time whereby japanese shows were still not widely watched in spore.
