P.S. read at your own risk. will contain major spoilers.
i really anticipated watching this because a friend recommended this to me saying Kuroki Meisa did great in this drama. i thought this is a sad and very serious drama, turned out i'll laugh more than i'll cry.
it was very funny at the beginning cox Yu's character is much younger than Nino's when i real life Nino's really younger but they pulled it off! and i like it how Nino transforms from being a mature brother-like character when he's with his workmates/friends to a very clumsy/childish one when he's with Meisa. the childish character we often see in his other works haha.
even at the end i still kept thinking who his father is, i actually wished they make a Special episode just to reveal the secret but i think it's better that way, letting us hanging and guessing who he really is.
My Ratings: i'll give this one 8/10 stars :)
