I really enjoyed watching this drama. Yui-chan was cute as usual and MatsuJun was superb as a kind person (as opposed to his mean-ish personality on Hana Yori Dango). The only problem I had with MatsuJun's performance was his crying. It was kind of irritating. I didn't hate it but I definitely didn't like it as it distracted from the sadness of the scenes. Other than that, he did a very good job. However, my favorite performance was Oguri Shun's. He is now one of my favorite bad guys! [BEGIN SPOILER ALERT!] The way he died was freaky but excellent! [END SPOILER ALERT!]
My rating: 8.5/10
