Synopsis
Just hours before two different couples (Manae & Ryotaro : Shoko & Kohei) take their vows, Manae and Kohei discover an untold secret of their spouses-to-be. While they are pondering over their decisions, they meet each other and become friends. Their friendship then extends after their marriages with Manae taking the initiative of choosing her home beside Kohei's. This move is certainly not to Ryotaro's advantage, as he is Shoko's ex-boyfriend and the child she is carrying is actually his!

I lot of fans considered this a a classic. This drama presented a very different way of looking at unfaithful relationships. Suzuki Honami was great and wish she had worked on more dramas. Not as good as Tokyo love story.

I lot of fans considered this a a classic. This drama presented a very different way of looking at unfaithful relationships. A four way love affair and also they became neighbours. Suzuki Honami was great and wish she had worked on more dramas. Not as good as Tokyo love story.

Very nice storyline, a lot of heartfelt moments. Suzuki Honami made the best facial expressions I had ever seen. You can't beat her smile.

Creative twist on love affairs. Very touching at times. Title song was perfect. Honami was great.

There is a reason this one is a classic. It's a three-hanky drama. Love! Misunderstanding! Betrayal! And More! Excellent acting all around, would love to see a subtitled version of this someday, cause I know I missed some things. Theme music is highly appropriate, although by the end of the series I never wanted to hear Celine Dion again... ;-D

What can I say? I love Suzuki Honami, once again she shines as her role as Manae, a woman who finds love in the most unexpected of places and at the most unexpected times. She once again was able to capture the feelings of and emotions of Manae s well that the audience cannot help but rise and fall with her.

Her male opposite played by Kishitani Goro (Kohei) does an excellent job, the two of them have great on-screen chemistry and some of the dialogue was just unforgettable. The other two were also good at the characters that they portrayed. The wavering feelings between the four of them was apparent and realistic (for this type of situation). Also, Celine Dion's "To Love You More" really seemed to be the perfect theme song for the overall tone of the story.

The only quirk that I have with this drama is the ending, the plot was very tight until then (even though sometimes a bit contrived), but I still recommend watching it for some angst and if you're a fan of Suzuki Honami.

The four main actors (Honami Suzuki, Goro Kishitani, Kyoko Suzuki, Koichi Sato) are so good together, they really make this work. And Tomoya Nagase and Miki Mizuno at the beginning of their careers show their talent.
