Really different way of approaching a story about regrets and it was definitely handled well. The only complaint that I'm sure many will have is that the opening scene of every episode starts to get repetitive and boring.
Acting:
Fantastic acting from all the members who made each character stick out even if their role was limited. Can't think of a single actor messing up.
Music:
Perfect and wonderful to listen to.
Overall:
This drama was really exceptional and although the opening scenes were a disappointment, the whole story in itself was beautiful. The chemistry between the all the characters was incredible and sometimes got me reminiscing about my high school days. Watch it!
PS - the special is coming out soon in 2008. Can't wait! :D
STORY - The story is about a guy going back in time to get the girl he loves. Silly? Not really. The story was really touching, despite the fact that it does not have a girl dying, and me saying it was touching.. this must be some really good romance drama. You would really feel sorry for the main guy, despite the fact that he's really slow. At some episodes you'll find yourself yelling at the TV to get him to tell the girl how he really felt. When you finally think he was gonna do it, he suddenly goes back to the present time. ah... Nonetheless, it kept me wanting more. Plus despite the fact that this was a fantasy romance drama, it wasn't too cliched like I thought it would be. All throughout the series he goes back to time.. and it gets repetitive at times, but the story per episode were just nicely written. Even the subplot between Tsuru and Eri, and his other friends were interesting.
The last two episode were a little slow, and the ending may not be as satisfying as it could have been (although I thought it was just fine..) in the end.. it turned out to be a memorable drama.
ACTING - I thought Yamashita (or Yamapi) could only play silly roles (like Akira from Nobuta wo Produce) but this guy proved me wrong. Although there was still silliness in his character you could feel for his character. For that, I think he did a pretty good job.
Nagasawa Masami - from the beginning and on I've already thought she was too beautiful for words.. the next Matsushima Nanako as I said. And I really don't think she's just pretty face, she has talent.
The other 3 main actors did a great job also.
MUSIC - Good. It fits perfectly.
Overall, a must watch if you're in the mood for a good romance drama.
