1. Don't you love fairy tale ? [Rating: 9/10]
I can't deny my love to romance's fairy tales like the story of Cinderella. Yep, that's why I love this JDorama. Toshiaki Karasawa & Emi Wakui makes such a lovely "charming prince and sweet Cinderella". If you in the mood for Cinderella's type of romance (like me,..always ! :D ), you might want to see this one ! I just get confuse with the ending, it suppose to be a happy ending, but the TV channel here showed it in a rather unfinished ending ?! *sigh*

2. Touching.. [Rating: 10/10]
One of my fave shows of all times! I felt really sad at times for Yukiko for all the humiliation and heartbreaks she suffered for her love for Masashi. Masashi was at times a pretty weak character n kind of let Yukiko down at times. Nevertheless, Masashi truly fell for her at the end. I have to agree..the ending was so unfinished!..Lets u feel unfufilled...

Watchable but a bit too fairy tale!

4. Fabulous [Rating: 9/10]
Let's just say I fell in love with Japanese drama because of this show. Toshiaki Karasawa is sooooooo good looking in this drama, I remembered him as Takagi Masashi ever since.
And anyway there IS a reason for calling it Tokyo Cinderalla story, you know... so (to piglet44) 'too fairy tale' is definitely justifiable!!!!

Well I liked it so much, the deeper feeling between the couple really touching me.

Too bad the ending was too simple and too short.

Tis is not jus a romance drama, but oso shows how a bro protects his sis by doing all he can. I like toshiaki in tis drama as takagi masashi is so handsome and prince charming!! emi wakui oso pretty in tis drama, dey made up a nice couple!! =)
I tink tat the ending could be better, too plain to be an ending.

Sweetest romance ever. A fairy tale relationship, topped by the strong brother-sister bond. Expected ending, but the process is interesting.

Wakui Emi and Karasawa Toshiaki performances were good. This story is about how a poor country girl fell in love with a rich business executive. There are many obsticles in between. The ending was a little rush. In general, this is a very good one.

one classic dorama…I thot karasawa was awesome n kakkoii…kinda sad..but hey…it’s a cinderella story…u know how it goes

Aptly named Tokyo Cinderalla Love Story in English. About a woman from a poor family falling in love with a rich man and both their transformation mentally.
5. Comments by dnie [Rating: 8/10]
Another lullaby from Cage and Aska, put a darn handsome to bits rich boy from uptown and sweet and kind poor girl from the village and
you got your fairytale story..Oh, only Cinderella this time got an obnoxious
brother, but damn adorable to boot and goes to the rescue of his sister. And you know, the rest is history...

A very light romantic-drama. Toshiaki is so handsome here.
10. Comments by rikastar [Rating: 7/10]
This was one of my early dramas. At that time I was so young and I couldn't help but think that Karasawa Toshiaki was really like Prince Charming in this show, making the whole show really fairytale-like ^^
11. Comments by vienna_sg [Rating: 8/10]
Just knew the story by the title. Typical cindrella show but without stepsisters and step mother.
12. Comments by jade_sylvia [Rating: 9/10]
It is a very romantic story. There is not much action, but I still think it is a good drama. It has funny and touching moments. Emi Wakui looks so cute, Kishitani Goro is very funny, and Karasawa Toshiaki is very cool! I wish I had a brother like Kishitani Goro! Although it is a fairy tale story, it makes me want to believe in prince charming-cinderella stories!

it was the first show in which i saw toshiaki.. :) i liked the love story bet. him and his leading lady... timeless.
the brother was also a touching figure who made the drama even more moving.

The very first drama that got me hooked on Jdorama. My love & passion for Japan began with this drama as well. Re-watched it recently & still stays to be my top favourite!

when i first saw it 7 yrs ago, it left a big impact on me...but mayb that's bcoz of the main actor's eyes...hehe, but when i see it now i don't really like it...maybe bcoz the story seems like fairytale and i'm not into that sort of stuff anymore...but i still love chage and aska's song...
