REVIEWS:

Many people were happy to hear about Tamura and Kimura in the same drama, the magazines and press were excited over the return of Miyazawa Rie. We were all happy until we saw all ten episodes and said to ourselves, "Is this it???" The story line was not really good and the finale ended with a "Eh?" It was a dissapointment.
