REVIEWS:

[From Edwina Wong] If you're in the mood for some romantic escapism, this is definitely for you! A lighthearted comedy with some really funny moments and although there's never any real "climatic" points, the storyline flows well,
so it never really drags either. Iijima Naoko is  good as always, and Uchimura Teruyoshi is really quite hilarious!
