I don't usually like Tsuyoshi's dramas, either I don't finish them nor actually watch them, but this show is different, this is really made for him. |

June 2005: This drama has a GREAT cast, some of the best actors and actresses willing to be the supporting cast, so we can see some good acting in this. The plot is abit off, but still a funny show to watch, this is my fave drama of the season. And the theme song by Crystal Kay is so catchy~ |

This my first Tsuyoshi drama. I've only watched the first episode and I thought it was amazing! The visual direction of scenes feels gimmicky and maybe annoying to some ppl but I like it! It's kind of interesting to see in a drama. The characters are great and Kimura Yoshino's acting was great. The guy that plays Takayanagi is the best actor in this series. |

One of Tsuyoshi's best. He's so funny and such a great actor. He's the best actor out of all of SMAP! |

Highly entertaining and funny. Strong cast and script though the last ep kinda lagged. Possibly my favourite drama of Spring 2005. Tsuyoshi Kusanagi has always been stereotyped as the eternal optimist cum do-gooder and done that role to death, but Suzuki Shimao suits him just fine (besides his role in Team). |

it was a exciting drama near the end |
| 11. | Comments by HavoCSkieR [Rating: 7/10]
- Didn't like Kusanagi's "transformation"
- Funny characters
- Mostly entertaining |

The story was full of loopholes, Kunasagi's role was quite unrealistic and badly written. Tsutsumi Shinichi was the only one that kept me through the show, sadly. |

Presumably partly inspired by the old American movie "Secret of my success" with M J Fox. It's a well casted drama with a nice theme song but the story doesn't offer anything out of the ordinary. In other words, what you see in this drama you've already seen several times before. |

This drama started off really slow & boring. You'll need alot of patience to watch through all the episodes. It made taking over companies, becoming the CEO & starting a new company from scratch seem like child's play. And as usual, the bad always turn good & the good, turn angels. Thank god the story plot took a better turn at the end. |

done!!.... an enjoyable and meaningful dorama... there's more important things than money, in this world ;) |
| 16. | Comments by arglborps [Rating: 8/10]
I still thing that the title is about as non related to the movie as possible. This drama really isn't about love, but it is very much about basic values and what we think is important in life. I also liked that the main character himself was so far from perfect.
Kusanagi is a really convincing and brilliant actor as always. He should stop singing out of tune and stick with his real talent − acting. |

Would have prefered it if Shimao remained a villain. Somehow feel that Tsuyoshi can carry out that sort of role very nicely. |

Interesting series, except for the end : too good to be realistic. |

When I Fall In Love -- Tsuyoshi Kusanagi |
| 22. | Comments by gomibagu [Rating: 7/10]
Not bad. Kusanagi was very good. |
| 23. | Comments by cheeqo [Rating: 7/10]
a bit too rushed. can be expected from a tokyo university graduate. why go all the trouble working for someone else when he has already got such a remarkable IT skills.Tsuyoshi can't act, takayanagi guy's better. Good ending though. loved it. |
| 24. | Comments by lightningemperor [Rating: 7/10]
It was pretty good in the beginning but as it came close to the end it got kind of crappy. |
| 25. | Comments by Ushiroyubi [Rating: 8/10]
Fun Drama and good story. Motivational with better than average acting. |

so many power stars.... what went wrong with the script??? |
| 31. | Comments by tabana [Rating: 9/10]
Great drama. Most of the cast are newbies, it's their 1st big role... or at least, they are newbies to me. :D
A lot of plot twists and funny moments. 2 thumbs up. |
| 32. | Comments by v1olet [Rating: 9/10]
interesting drama about M&A. under worst circumstances, kindhearted man could turn into lionhearted man. great script, great cast, great OST by Crystal Kay. |
| 33. | Comments by SMAPxELAINE [Rating: 10/10]
A Drama From Tsuyoshi... |
| 34. | Comments by Tu_triky [Rating: 7/10]
A rags to riches morality tale. Entertaining in an expected way...the cast ensemble was good with special marks to Tsuyoshi Kusanagi and Nao Matsushita...a darling with a gorgeous smile. Nothing special but somehow addicting... |
| 35. | Comments by susantotony [Rating: 10/10]
One of the best. good acting by tsuyoshi and i think it's true, people tends to retain his power at ANY COST. |
| 36. | Comments by xiong_here [Rating: 8/10]
My second Kusanagi Tsuyoshi series and it was just as enjoyable! The story kind of has it weak parts but it manages to pull out ahead towards the end. Some parts of the story could've been developed better and some characters could've used my fleshing out. Other then that the DORAMA was alright. |

ii dorama |

Rather predictable plot about how a person's character changes as he climbs up the corporate ladder. |

Hey this is goooood... much better than I expected!!!! The cast I wasn't overly familiar with, but the storyline seemed interesting which made me go watch it... and I do NOT regret it!~! Acting and plot were great! >w< |
| 41. | Comments by Squall_Ryuji [Rating: 10/10]
Nice story.... one of my fav.. |
| 42. | Comments by warren.mcclendon [Rating: 8/10]
Very realistic when they are showing his love for IT and his dedication to helping the company with his skills. But his rise thru the ranks is like a normal employee career path on speed. His rise and fall and partial re-rise is completelly unrealistic. |
| 43. | Comments by MrNiceGuy [Rating: 10/10]
Wonderful movie! Business is a war but handle it with care! I love the cast in this movie also! |
| 44. | Comments by Bodhi [Rating: 8/10]
Lots of fun, very funny in the beggining episodes then it turns serious. |
| 45. | Comments by ongrina82 [Rating: 9/10]
I like the whole story, very nice. Tsuyoshi acted as a kind-hearted man to a hard-hearted person. He looks sort of scary to me when he was hard-hearted.. |
| 46. | Comments by Mali [Rating: 6/10]
not so good... |
| 47. | Comments by bigfire [Rating: 9/10]
Touching and inspiring! There needs to be more dramas like this one. I immediately connected with the main characters and the overall theme. This is one of the best of the new crop that somehow feels like a throwback to an old formula. |
| 48. | Comments by Milano [Rating: 8/10]
Interesting. I don't like Kusanagi very much, in this drama my favourite characters are Tsutsumi and Nao.
I am italian and the episode with the italian opera singer is totally silly... the italian words seems translated from japanese to italian with google. |
| 49. | Comments by liquidlzero [Rating: 7/10]
i thought it was okay i did not really like the lead actor all that much |
| 50. | Comments by yhlok1988 [Rating: 8/10]
Currently watching, will review at the end. |
| 51. | Comments by ThaiChick [Rating: 8/10]
Tsuyoshi is so darling in this drama. Very cool drama. |
| 52. | Comments by aiamano [Rating: 8/10]
Much to learn about professional objectives and aspirations and their relation to happiness. |
| 53. | Comments by sucigam [Rating: 8/10]
This is more an adult oriented show with the major themes revolving around business ethics. It reeks of cliches at times and I wonder if tsuyoshi was the right choice as lead but still a breath of fresh air if you are looking for a different style of drama. |
| 54. | Comments by Amika [Rating: 8/10]
surprising good this drama.. |
| 55. | Comments by deathangels [Rating: 10/10]
Very Very goood drama, i watched this more than 7x. its refreshing drama and give us courage. the story want to tell us many important things in this world. very very recomended to watch. |
| 56. | Comments by Signo [Rating: 9/10]
incredible story. something new and refreshing. tsutsumi shinichi fits perfectly the role as a company president! kusanagi tsuyoshi tells us about important things in life on the basis of some examples. it's also interesting to see how suzuki's character changes during the story. of course there is a happy end and a story message...

i am really not a big fan of Kusanagi Tsuyoshi, but this turns out to be better than i thought... |
| 61. | Comments by Ezalor [Rating: 8/10]
Solid economic/human drama. Entertaining all the way through. The name is a bit unfitting i think... |
| 62. | Comments by bmwracer [Rating: 9/10]
Excellent, enjoyable drama about the dog-eat-dog world of big business with fine performances from the entire cast. Highly recommended viewing. |
| 63. | Comments by Anees [Rating: 9/10]
Great acting and an intriguing storyline. Suzuki Shimao is my hero! |
| 64. | Comments by serebi [Rating: 7/10]
Typical story about a guy who is good, turns bad, realizes his mistake and returns to his roots. Teaches you a couple things good but it is a forget about kind of dorama |
| 65. | Comments by Eyeyore [Rating: 7/10]
Without Tsutsumi, this show is nothing. |
| 66. | Comments by marspeach [Rating: 7/10]
Misleading title. Romance is just a side story. It's mostly about business and greed. It was okay. |
| 67. | Comments by pinkokoro [Rating: ?/10]
COMPLETE. |
| 68. | Comments by phlargo [Rating: 10/10]
Excellent drama. Definitely on my must see list.
Suzuki Shimao's actor was a little wooden at times, but it was made up for by a superb supporting cast (his sister, the other execs and the founder of Frontier!!) - generally great acting in this one!
The intro is probably second best only to (or even on par with) Orange Days for getting you into the mood for the Drama.
I'm actually going to keep my review brief - you should watch it. I don't give out 10s easily and if I do, it means I am giving my strongest recommendation to enjoy it if you haven't see it before. I really liked the direction and writing.
The music got me really excited. Like Odoru... when something was going to happen or change, the music got you excited and ready for it. One of the few dramas that had me humming the melody and thinking about the action.
And for the guys out there - it's chock full of very attractive womens :) Kaori is positively yummy. Lots of other cuties in here too. Enjoy! |
