Love & Hates:
Sometimes, a typical romance drama with a old-fashioned plot turns out to be quite interesting. Why? Coz' u wld be curious to know how the 2 leads would fall in love. Haha...
Hasegawa does looked a little old besides the childish-faced Koike...but I think their chemistry is still quite good. Hasegawa looked classy when she wore a gown...but her usual image looked a little "auntie" to me la. Haha...Koike looked so different from his other role in "Nodame"...haha!
Saeko..cant stand her in "Hotelier"..and i still can't stand her here...her image and voice really don't match. Like a little girl keep bothering Koike's character..super fan. Lolz...The other cast are alright...nothing too spectacular.
Worth watching?
Wld reco to those who like romance dramas..u won't feel bored la..though u can expect what to happen next and what wld happen in the end.
