Story: Excelent story line, sad and romantic. Kimura Takuya plays Okishima Shuji, a hairstylist at Hot Lip. Tokiwa Takako as Machida Kyoko is physically bound by a wheelchair due to illness. They meet and are in confrontation but soon they find themselves falling in love with each other.

Acting: Fantastic, Kimura Takuya and Tokiwa Takako did great together. They made it very believable.

Music: Very good.

Overall: I loved this drama. It touched my heart and it was pretty much the first drama I really loved. It's serious but it still was very interesting. I would say it's a must watch.

Although this drama's storyline is quite similar to many others of this genre, it was the superb acting from actors that sets this one apart.

The Shuji, Kyoko, Sachi, and Masao actors makes you fall in love with their qualities and understand their feelings. I particularly want to point out the actor playing Masao. I thought he was incredible!

So if you've watched most of the melodramas, please don't forget to try this one too.
