i think Aya's role is modelled based on Paris Hilton in this drama.

[Guest incomplete.]

seems interesting

I think I'm gonna watch it when it comes out

*adding to the list*

[switchlanez]

I'll look into this if Aya Ueto doesn't play another cute girly girl role again.

[Guest Maia-chan]

Rating fo the first episode is 17.6%. Pretty good!

[Joanna]

ohh wow awesome! i love Aya Ueto she's so funny and cute! maybe i'll check it out!

[Guest I_broke_a_nail!]

Ueto Aya is FRICKEN gorgeous in this drama.

I love the story line. Although, most of the time, it's cliche...

... I think the actors/actresses that are chosen made the show worthwhile.

I suggest everyone to watch it.

[c_gunawan541]

I'm loving this drama, aya is always so pretty<333

This drama is funny and plus Kashiwabara Takashi is damn hot!! I remember watching him in itzura na kiss, but that was years ago.

He's still so smexy~

It's cliche but I like it so far. I'm rooting for the guy to end up with his childhood friend, though.

[angeli_kpop]

Wah!~ So, it's airing already XD

I'll be downloading the first few episodes since many are saying that it's nice^^

I'm excited to watch it 8)

[Guest littlemisssunsunshine]

i wish i could download this already ... it sounds like hilarious fun!!

[Guest kalchi]

Yeah, I agree with some of you, the drama is cliche, but the the way it's written and also the acting from both leads make the drama enjoyable to watch. I usually don't go for romantic comedy unless it is worth for watching but this one is really good. There're lots of funny moments too. Taro & Alice have great chemistry together, I love all their scenes, love Aya's potrayal as a rich girl. I fall in love with Alice lol. She's too adorable and innocent, everyone will end up liking her.

[Guest Justalilodreamer]

sounds interesting. i'll check it out...is this subbed yet?

[Guest kalchi]

sounds interesting. i'll check it out...is this subbed yet?

Yes.Up til episode 3. Rollin's subbing this series. Previously for episode 1-2, they released the softsubs but for now they don't. They upload the HS parts on youtube though(but you've to be fast, they'll remove the videos after some time). They still planning to release the softsubs, probably after the series has completed.

[Guest jeniez]

I love Kamiji Yusuke! He's so stupid but adorable in Hexagon Quiz. I'll watch this drama when I have some free time.

[little mixed girl]

yes, this drama is really cute and fun.

ueto aya and kamiji yusuke seem to work well together, and omg...kamiji yusuke??? so...hot...

[clockwatcher]

The Gotoda guy is hot, rich and has a much better personality than the Taro dude (whose screaming irks the hell out of me). I don't get how she'll pick him over her ex, even if he hurt her in the past. I hope in the future, the drama gives us a reasonable explanation for this

EDIT: Okay, I guess the ex gets quite mean in ep 4

[Guest KAITOU KID.]

haha i've seen 2 eps so far, and have the 3rd and 4th ready to watch, kekeke.

aya ueto is so hawt.

[Guest nightfire]

i'm liking aya's ex so much better than taro. in ep 5, he looked so sad.i can't wait until she learns what happened 5 years ago. i couldn't care less about taro..

[uruchai]

im having a hard time adjusting to rich/spoiled/classy Ueto Aya. maybe cause i'm so used to her role(s) in Abarenbo Mama and Attention Please [considering i just recently watched the Sydney audition]. i'm liking the series so far.

i only checked out the three main casts: kamiji, ueto and kuninaka ryoko [<- who i really adore ever since Brother Beat]. but gosh, i squealed when Kashiwabara Takashi appeared. i was surprised since i didnt know he's part of it. he looks thinner though since the last time i saw him [hachimitsu to kuroba]
