Synopsis
A romantic comedy about women in their 30's

For everyone who still remembers "Suteki na Kataomoi," "Tokyo Love Story," "101st Proposal," prepare yourselves for even more of those same touching moments again.

Breaking the tradition of the main character for a Monday night drama being a woman in her 20's, Makiko Esumi stars as Kyoko Asaoka, a 32-year-old heart surgeon working at a hospital in Tokyo. Men tend to shy away from the tall, well-educated and well-paid Kyoko because they see her as a woman that can do things on her own. The truth of the matter is that Kyoko is just unlucky in love. She is also old-fashioned, and wants to fall in love just like anyone else, but has a hard time showing her real self to men.

This drama rox. Everyone is very natural! Fujiki Naohito is sooo charming. Oshio Manabu was great as the lovelorn boy. Yonekura Ryoko was beautiful. But the best of the best has to be Esumi Makiko!!!! she is so charming... When she is serious, she is so professional you really respect her, when she is funny, you really laugh your pants off... Long Live Esumi!

And yes. the theme songs were fabulous... I wanted the soundtrack but i couldnt find it in singapore.

A splendid love story with a side of humour.Esumi Makiko fits in the role well as a docter who yearns for a man.The show is especially sugar candy in the first half.However the last few episodes of Yabuki's character appears disappointing.Still,it is certainly a two thumbs-up drama.Like Long Vacation,it has a great soundtrack too.

7. Absolutely Wonderful! [Rating: 10/10]
I had seen the VCD many times, but never bought it because it was going to show on television. So, I decided to watch the first episode, before buying it. After I watched the first two eps, I absolutely fell in love with the show! The show is funny and very romantic as well. The cast in the show also did a very good job. Even though Esumi Makiko and Fujiki Naohito have a 6 yrs age gap in real-life, they still did a really good job at playing the lovers, Kyoko Asaoka and Suga Eiichiro. Esumi Makiko's really pretty in the show. Fujiki Naohito is also really cute in the show, he looks different than when he was in GTO. Every character was very well-done in the show. The soundtrack is also very good. I will never forget this or anything about it. I also highly recommend this show to everyone. This is a must to watch!

After watching Esumi Makiko in 'OverTime', i was hooked...i think she's just so beautiful and can be both serious and funny too. This dorama is quite a good one though i thought the ending was a little too good to be true. It's got loads of eye candy..just check out Makiko and her good friend...their hair, their clothes..whoa !
I love the theme song by Ken Hirai..and i also like the black and white shots of them in formal clothes sitting on the chairs--very classy looking.

I don't understand why this dorama is such a big deal. It's a typical boy gets girl story.....that's understandable since most doramas are like that. The thing is though, the boy keeps showing that he isn't much of a catch himself so it was hard for me to wish for a happy ending. But I did enjoy the music.

Particularly love the plot up to the point when Suga and Kyoko separate, but the last half was kinda draggy (probably cos I more and more can't wait till Suga-Kyoko is reunited!!)
Naohito is drop-dead gorgeous... wondering how come I only realize it now... And love this character Suga.. though sometimes he's so annoying with the playboy attitude, but he definitely made it it up at the end of each episode ^-^ Best scene: the 3 major kissing shots :) (their first meeting, under the rain and the aquarium scene!)

Since I watched Makiko at Over Time, I tried to watch all dramas she did. She's pretty good, pretty funny and has such a great charisma! But maybe she's the only good thing in this drama series - Naohito and Manabu also, but because they're gorgeous, not because their acting skills are good.
The story is boring, the characters just didn't that impressive perfomance (just Makiko, as always), and it is too "wilted": there is no emotion on it (is this cast's fault or director's fault?).
But if you're a fan of Manabu or Naohito, it worths watching, they're simply gorgeous on it.

58. A Mature Love Story [Rating: 9/10]
This is one of the few dramas that got me hooked right from the first episode. I remember finishing the first episode and thinking “wow, this one is gonna be good”. And it was!

I started watching Love Revolution because Yonekura Ryoko was in it, and continued to watch it because of Esumi Makiko. What a beautiful, talented actress! I’m surprised I haven’t been exposed to her before, and I’ve quickly become a fan!

Although the love story is “typical”, the plot is not. It was handled with a lot of maturity befitting the situation of the main characters. The interaction between the characters was very real and their reactions to each other were raw and true. I was glad to come upon a drama where the main conflict for the female character was between career and marriage. The main female character was strong and stubborn and willful, and I was glad that she didn’t have to sacrifice herself for happiness. This is the type of message that should be portrayed to young female viewers… not the trash that seems to make up some dramas.

I was a little unsettled by Suga (played by Fujiki Naohito) but it wasn’t until the end that I realized that the viewer IS supposed to feel unsettled. Everything was cleared up at the end. Esumi Makiko was perfect in the role of Dr. Asaoka, and Yonekura Ryoko, as always, was brilliant as the charming, silly, but deep Endo Mariko. With such a gorgeous cast, it’s hard NOT to like this show.

The end was a little too perfect, but I was glad that it was. It balanced all the angst throughout the drama. If you’re a mature viewer looking for something you can relate to on a personal level, this is the perfect drama! I loved it, and highly recommend it to all.

59. Enjoyable [Rating: 8/10]
A pretty decent dorama. Makiko is a great lead actress and Fujiki Naohito plays a character he is quite familiar with interpreting. The rest of the cast do a fine supporting job with kudos to Ryoko for a lively performance. The only drawback of this series was the weakness of the plot in the second half as the series started to drag and the dorama seemed to lack the freshness with which it began. A fine job nevertheless and an enjoyable dorama overall.

Okay...just completed this 5 minutes ago. ^_^ Ureshi ne...this drama is really good. After this drama, I realised that I fell deeply in love with Fujiki Naohito. This is the first time I've seen his drama. Not bad ya! ^_^ He's so good looking. Anyway, before I watch this drama, I read through some reviews and some people wrote that this drama isn't good and it's a flop! Well, I disagree with them. This drama is worth watching especially the first half of the drama. Towards the last 3 episodes, things get a bit draggy but overall, it is still good! I like all the scenes where Suga-san and Kyoko are together. They make such a sweet couple. ^_^ Anyway, I would give this drama a 10 if not for the last 3 episodes. Oh yeah! One more important factor of this drama! The theme song! I truly like Ken Hirai's Kiss of Life. It suits this drama. Sigh...how I adore this drama! There was one particular scene which I really like which is the part where Suga-san was with Kyoko san at the place where they sell aquarium fishes...so cute~ ^_^ So, everyone out there, watch this!
Note: Another thing which I really like about this drama is the music! Fabulous songs...even those sub-songs being played all the time. Grab the soundtrack as well! You won't regret it~ ^_^

I love Fujiki Naohito!!! He's too cool and very manly. I have already watch the whole series twice and for 2 times, Naohito's image kept floating in my mind. Its a great romantic story that everyone would pray to happen in their own lives too. Of coz, if the other party is Naohito himself!!
I have bought his calender selling at HMV and Kinokuniya. I just have to hang his calendar on my wall and see him all day long! Naohito is NUMBER ONE!!!

This is one of my favourite show. Really like the character
and (I can't deny) good looks of the actor, Naohito Fujiki.
There is just something about this show that leaves you with a
deep impression that you will want to watch it again & again.

Good drama. a modern love story. Interesting to watch. Esumi looks gorgeous some of the times~ =P
But Naohito look sugoii all of the time!! He's very kakkoii!!
overall, it is nice to watch =)

A MUST WATCH!!

Esumi looks more mature and stylish too. She acted as a doctor who wanted to be a bride. She met Suga (Fujiki), a reporter who does anything to get information. And even cheating women. They met at the hospital where Esumi is working at. However on their engagement day Suga changed his mind and don't want to get married.

Romantic drama starring Esumi Makiko and Fujiki Naohito. This drama gave Naohito his fame of today. First part better than second though. For some reason this drama reminded me a lot of Overtime, probably because of the fact that it's about Esumi bouncing back and forth between two guys. Overall good though.

I Love NaoHito Fujiki!!! His character in the show is not bad... And He is SOOO Cute!!!
the Songs in the show are great... Entertaining cast and the little quotes in the beginning of each show abt love by Esumi Makiko
is really interesting!!!
A Must Watch Show!!!

I just watched as it was showed on the International Channel. I liked, it, I couldn't quite catch everything that was happening dialogue-wise, so I was confused with the choice she made in the end, but Esumi Makiko looked beautiful in this drama (Fuji Naohito, and Oshio Manabu (?) weren't bad either!), I was relieved to see her bangs grown out from her Shomuni look, her hair was nicely styled throughout the drama. Oh wait! I forgot, she went back to that look later, arrggg!!!

Ah! Ichiban desu ne! Sugoi! This drama is the best! Coz I am a great fan of Makiko Esumi! She was very very pretty in the drama! Her acting was the best of all! Fujiki Naohito was not bad too! He's so charming! He had great chemistry with Makiko Esumi I would say! The storyline was refreshing! And yeah the story was suspend during the last part! I really scared if Makiko Esumi will agree to Oshio Manabu's propose*! The songs also brought up the condition and of course suite to it so so much! So, buy the soundtrack if possible*. "Way to Love" was a very very nice song!

Esumi Makiko looks fabulous in this drama! The story revolves around her looking for love. Romantic comedy. Good for light-hearted viewing. The last episode showed what happened to each character, some were very amusing, some very predictable.
26. Comments by dnie [Rating: 9/10]
prepared to be swooned by how dashing Fujiki Naohito is in this drama or how enchantingly beautiful Esumi makiko is. I know i was.
this dorama is a love story between a top surgeon, played by Esumi Makiko who fails to find true love. What she really wishes for is a love beyond ordinary and that's what she got. Come the womanizing charimg Fujiki to melt her heart to gain some news(coz he's a top journalist) but he also found himself melted by the kiss they share(clue:aaaahh..) what ensues are love triangles or pentagon,
heartcahe and err..heartache. But when u know who your true love is, even when ucant be with him, it's fine as long as your heart loves him and he knows it too.err..i think this's what the story is about..

Esumi is a great actress! Though older than most of the other actresses, she protrayed convincingly in the roles that she played... She has a good sense of comic timing... Also love the soundtrack of this drama! It fits the whole theme of the drama...
46. Comments by carie_akanishi [Rating: 8/10]
This show got me addicted right from the first episode. It was like Wah!! and Fujiki Naohito was like damn kakkoii and that time when it was showing in Singapore, so many gals were just crazy abt his playboy image. Too bad, he din made any betta dorama after this. The love story was great but the ending was too abrupt n slipshot.
47. Comments by Beautiful_cloud_77 [Rating: 10/10]
Fell in love immediately after watching the first episode! Esumi Makiko looked stunning. The best I've seen her acting than her other roles. Fujiki Naohito looked great with a flamboyant charismatic character. Great theme songs too!

First half was well-paced and exciting, second half got a little draggy and had too idealistic an ending. But great, eye-candy nonetheless.
55. Comments by Hoshi [Rating: 9/10]
Honestly, I bought this drama because I love the song by Hirai Ken. I don't really fancy Esumi Makiko's shows because I thought that she can never really go well with anyone. So I was surprised that I could take the coupling between her and Fujiki quite well. (maybe it's due to the height? :P) This show introduced me to the supporting cast as well (since this is also one of the first dramas I watched) and I must say that their acting was great. The story was great. But the soundtrack is really what impressed me the most.

I enjoyed this drama very much. It's a romance story. Every character falls in love with someone... Even though I enjoyed it a lot, I could see why some would find it a little boring. If you like chick flicks and romances, this is a good one to watch. But don't expect to find a lot of substance or profoundness.

Oh, this drama is so wonderful!!! Now, granted, you have to be in the mood for something romantic, with pretty people and somewhat unrealistic circumstances. Escapist drama at its best! Great music, and enough twists between the characters to keep you guessing. I think I'm in love with Esumi Makiko, even though I myself am female and straight. She's just so gorgeous! I know I'm in love with Fujiki Naohito--he continues being excellent in this drama. Yonekura Ryoko really outdid herself in this one as well. Le sigh--what I wouldn't do for English subtitles!! Don't miss this one!

After the horror that was Love generation and the fact that I do not like Esumi Makiko, I thought that I would not like this. BUt it was one of the best Dorama's I have seen! Excellent cast and the story potrays 'real' people and avoids the tedious cliche's of other J dorama's. The love story is great and the ending was great, though I think it wouldn't have hurt to end it five minuets earlier than the whole him going and comming back a second time seemed a little unecessary. Oh but it was great watch it!

The romance drama for all romance drama lovers. Esumi Makiko plays the strong, independent, and highly intelligent Asaoka Kyoko, an internal medicine surgeon for a major hospital. However, because of how demanding her job is, she rarely has time to look for love. The sad thing is she has already over thirty! But as things start to look bad for her and when she has finally given up on marriage entirely, two men begin to pop into her life. Suga Eiichiro and Yabuki Mamoru.

A great drama with lots of twists and turns in the romance factor. Esumi Makiko does a wonderful job portraying Kyoko-san, the elegant and smart surgeon. Her little analogies between love and things that happen in daily life are very memorable and was a great way to start off an episode.

Fujiki Naohito definitely gave an alluring appeal to the newsreporter, Suga-san. His cool and direct approaches to situations were done very well. Oshio Manabu also portrays a very convincing actor/bartender who secretly has a crush on the doctor.

It was a great drama all around and I would highly recommend it.

I love Fujiki and Oshio! Lets get that out of the way. Okay, then. The whole cast is superb and delivered memorable and outstanding performances; great job there. I like how they start of each episode with Dr. Asaoka rattling off a fact of her life / love, and we later get to see how that plays out. A lot of it is true, I find, for example, the 'waiting for taxi and none would come' part in the first episode. Each of the characters had a purpose and served it marvelously. My fav one is Mari-chan, SHE MAKES ME CRY SO MANY TIMES! I love the plot, and the fact that it is not a straight out happy ending one would expect out of a drama of this genre. The tilte "Love REVOLUTION" is very well-picked and fits the storyline perfectly. I love the banter between the casts. I am amazed at how the writer managed to think up that bit where Mari-chan and Mamoru made love to the capital cities of the world - a bit of genius there - and other little things like that. Keeps everything interesting. I cried three buckets during the Suga/Asaoka goodbye telephone scene. The OST is one of the best in drama history, packed with as much heartwrenching tunes as there is heartwarming ones. I especially love the theme songs! This drama was such an emotional rollercoaster, for the characters and the audience. An excellent one, this was.

An enjoyable drama carried out by an endearing cast. Esumi Makiko does a great job leading this series and the plots are enjoyable. The main weakness of this series is the back-and-forth nature that makes this series never seem to end and a strange departure from the flow at around ep 8. Otherwise, a pretty decent drama.

This series has a very distinct 'soap opera' feel to it. So much drama, so many coincidences, so many happy endings. And that is the dorama's main selling point (or flaw, however you look at it).

Nothing to shout about except for the great clothes they are wearing

Is love really like waiting for a taxi? Mmmm I don't have the answer to that one until after I viewed the jdorama. I love the chemistry of the actors and actresses in this drama and how real it is. They kiss when they want to kiss and say what they want to say. There is none of that "virginal" theme that seems to run through korean dramas. Makiko Esumi as the doctor Asako Kyoko is elegant, beautiful, funny and lovable. Fujiki Naohito as the TV reporter is believable and too good looking. Ryoko Yonekure as Endo Mariko the best friend is charming and enduring. Oshio Manabu as actor Yabuki Mamoru is intense and sexy---- gosh he has the sexiest lips ever, next to my Takuya Kimura.The plot is real in the sense that in life, people in relationship don't always end up happily married. But love that endures through obstacles will always seek out the beloved. I really love the ending. So desu ne.

I loved the metaphors in every episode. Single women can truly relate to what Kyoko goes through.

for the love of god, Japan, don't cast Esumi Makiko in another drama. I just hate her.
ok, as for the show: Ryoko is hot here, truly. Naohito and Manabu, both on the same screen, head-to-head was awesome, but for the wrong ugly girl. The show is hip and cool, except that it should have ended by like 2-3 episodes for useless lengething and needless encounters. that scene with ryoko and manabu was steamy hot, I was cheering for him!!!

Strong first half, but somewhat of a letdown in the second. I was on the Suga-san bandwagon from beginning to end, though!

Long awaited for the last 2 episodes, the best remains the first ep with the trip in Roma (I am italian)

It's not unwatchable but not fun. I will forget it very soon. Esumi is just so ugly. I just like fujiki's acting.

Loved the concept of a love octagon..I believe
144. Comments by sadacori [Rating: 7/10]
I wasn't too fond of Esumi Makiko's character she placed too much hope, too soon in a man who is somewhat of a playboy. The ugliness of jealousy and the the desperation was hard to watch. たぶん、彼女のキャラはあたしと同じだから it didn't sit right with me at times and made me a bit upset. Despite that, this was an ok drama.

A wonderful love story with the perfect amount of maturity and depth.

Vol 1: Taxi
Love is like waiting for taxi. There isn't any taxi available
when you are waiting for them. They are either no taxi or the taxis
are taken by others. This makes me anxious. Just when I have decided
to go to another street, many empty taxis come in sight for me.

Vol 2: Love Season
In the morning just when I was about to go out, I am puzzled if I
should take an umbrella with me. Most of the time, I bring an
umbrella with me. It is taking a good precaution to avoid regrets.
However, it seems like this may not be a wise decision at the time.

Vol 3: Woman in love
There will always be a pair of shoes that don't fit you in your
shoe cabinate. It is too tight, but it seems to be just nice when
you try it our before buying. Thus, I bought the pair of shoes. I
never really think of the consequences of buying this pair of unfit
shoes and I just want to enjoy the feeling procession. Everyone
would have this experience.

Vol 4: Love Holidays
We are puzzled about what to bring for our vocation. Making a
decision is difficult and so is carrying the luggage. Since we have
brought it there, we shall pretent that we are tired. In another
words, we are trying to make ourselves tired by coming on a
vocation. In the end, we are so tired that we don't have to
strength to unpack our luggage and it is at a critical time.

Vol 5: Love Sick
Sometimes, we lost 1 sock. It should be somewhere in the house.
However, I failed to find it despite countless search. Thus, we
throw away the other one. Unexpectedly, we have found the lost sock.
It's many times happier than we first buy the sock. We can't bare
to throw away this useless sock.

Vol 6: Love Gap
When I have to use a 1000 yen note because I am short of a 10 yen
coin, I am reluntant to use it. Having think that I shouldn't have
bought that chewing gum in the morning, I would not have faced this
problem now. A trival matter has caused me trouble. I wouldn't have
thought of this when I bought the chewing gum.

Vol 7: Love Question
When I come across little personality test in magazines, I would
always go for it. When I don't get a satisfactory answer, I would
go back to the questions and answer them again. The answer we got
the second time is far from reality. When we do this repeatedly,
the answer is further and further away from the reality.

Vol 8: Love Airport
When I am trying to give way to the person in front, he moves in
the same direction as I am. When I move to the other side, he
follows. Finally, both of us decides to stand still.

Vol 9: Love Revamp
In examination, I would like to check the answers again. At that
time, I would always think that the other answer is a better choice.
Finally, I choose the other answer. However, the first answer is
often the correct one.

Was okay. The way the relationships changed was fun, but the ending left me a little unsatisfied.

Esumi is solid here. You really can feel for her struggles.
151. Comments by uhno [Rating: 6/10]
Although I found Ryoko to be very entertaining, the drama overall was really boring. Maybe my expectations were too high.

Fun show. Esumi Makiko was great and beautiful. Fujiki Naohito was beautiful. Oshio Manabu's character annoyed me but I liked seeing him speak English.

I started watching it thinking I was in the mood for mature content after watching so much teen angst.. but then this was pretty boring. And the female lead.. she is too manly looking for my tastes. Ugh. Maybe I will appreciate it when I'm a little older.. and finish it as well (=

It was good. I liked watching Kyoko's story and knowing how important her career is.
