It was surprising to see "Honey and Clover" rating was so low!!!
I think it was because the original comic fans were all against live-action drama version.
Though I must admit that the first few episodes looked so apart from the original manga,
but soon the casts created a real friend-like atmosphere and the story turned out to be quite true to its original storyline. I ended up liking this series a lot! I think it deserves much more credit!!

"Bara no nai Hanaya" was a pure joy. Knowning what a tricky screenwriter Nojima Shinji has been, I was afraid that the story might end in tragedy. However, it was turned out quite happy ending with nice surprises! I will definitely miss seeing Shizuku's smile... so adorable...

It surprised many people to see "Saitoh-san" doing so well this season. In the news, it was reported that not only viewers in their 20s and 30s but also teens were interested in this drama's strong character, Saitoh-san.
