1. Great... Until the Last Episode [Rating: 7/10]
I'm not a huge Kusanagi Tsuyoshi fan. I find him awkward to watch and he rarely has chemistry with his leading ladies. So I was a little hesitant when I started this drama.

It ended up being quite fun to watch! I'm still not a Kusanagi Tsuyoshi fan, but he was bearable through his interactions with Seto Asaka, who's performance was passable.

I found the supporting cast much stronger than the two leads. Abe Hiroshi and Fukatsu Eri were great, as they usually are, and it was nice to see Morimoto Leo's pleasant face again.

The storyline and plot were interesting and entertaining, but I found that the last drama really lagged. It was boring and stretched unbearably so. By the time the drama ended, I was annoyed.

2. The constant fighting with a tiny bit of love. [Rating: 8/10]
This drama was funny but they did fight alot over the stupidest little things. They forgot what brought them together in the first place. I do believe that they are a good couple. They just need to choose there battles. I believe that Yuko needs to act kinder towards her new husband and she got that why because of her father but she should learn from his misstakes and not repeat them. I don't understand why she changed so much in a month or so from sweet to not that sweet. They had way to many fights but i do love the characters in this funny not so sweet drama. Watched it in one day back to back.

3. funny & great chemistry btwn cast [Rating: 9/10]
It's a cute story, and even though they keep fighting, it doesn't seem to get old. Seto Asaka is so pretty and she does a good job being the spoiled princess. Ichirou's co-workers have a good chemistry, and I liked all the acting done here. I like Kusanagi Tsuyoshi's acting here better than in Food Fight, he seems to fit this character more. The only person that was kinda annoying as Yuki, who keeps chasing after Ichirou, but she didn't get TOO annoying and she got better, so I ended up liking her.

4. Perspectives on divorce [Rating: 9/10]
Excellent dorama with plenty of hilarity interspersed throughout. Abe Hiroshi and Eri Fukatsu were at their finest leading the strong supporting cast while Tsuyoshi and Asaka couldn't have done any better with their characters. The dorama's first episode started off in a rather interesting way and after a few bumps in the first or second episode, the dorama came into its own, fuelled by a strong script and was truly very well executed. Definitely a must watch!

5. Ok but very classic [Rating: 6/10]
I was a bit disappointed. The story is good, and the actors all right, but it was very classic, and not exciting enough for me.
I categorize this jdorama as "nice watch" but not more than that.
The part I enjoyed best was looking at the act of Fukatsu Eri, very sweet and innocent with her young and round face, different from all the other roles I've seen her play after this one.

6. Not To Bad [Rating: 8/10]
well i am a big fan of Kusanagi Tsuyoshi so maybe that is why i liked this dorama so much, the relationship between the two main stars was very cute although the girl can be a little annoying at times, but overall a pretty interesting dorama. Plus I really like the theme song for it too.

asaka is beautiful, the supporting cast is hilarious, but the show never convinced me the couple were in love... not even for a second... they kept bickering and fighting, sometimes they help each other out and seem to care for each other... they were more like friends than lovers

Well I liked this drama but there were parts that just kind of frustrated me and got on my nerves. I could not understand their behavior and wanted to smack some sense into them. haha But I did find some good laughs in this drama and found it enjoyable overall.

The commentary about marriage and divorce at the beginning of the drama was informative and well done. There was plenty, plenty, plenty of bickering throughout the series. In the beginning, it was pretty humorous (ie. "Why do you have to wash your underwear? Can't you do it after the honeymoon? I hate men who wash their underwear!) Lol. The two of them fought a lot and it was usually over nothing. But then again, marriage is like that sometimes.

I thought that Kusanagi Tsuyoshi's character was incredibly endearing - especially when he saw his wife get upset over nonsense for the first time. His bewildered look is priceless. Anyway, it's a fun series, but only watch it when you have the time to do so. The ending is kind of sweet too with the fairy-tale like touch.
2. Comments by Szabotage [Rating: 7/10]
The constant quarrelling between the two main characters got to me after awhile, but the story was a good one, and the supporting cast was hilarious. For a minute, the intro (in English, done in documentary style) threw me--I thought I had the wrong channel on or something. Very clever! I didn't much care for the main couple--the hero was a nice guy, but wishy-washy, while the heroine was downright abrasive. But the drama was well-written enough that even with unsympathetic characters, it held my interest.
3. Comments by Shindou [Rating: 9/10]
Giving this dorama a solid 9/10 as well, almost perfect except for a few minor things. I highly recommend this one as tsuyoshi and asaka really played their roles to the fullest. The supporting cast led by abe hiroshi, eri fukatsu and morimoto leo did a great job backing up the leads. i originally did not expect this dorama to be that good, particularly on the heels of another great dorama Over Time, but ended up finishing this in about 3 days.

I just watch 2 episodes on TV. I find it really, really good. So enjoyable and funny. The lead actor looks so blur all the time. So kawaii~ Haha...I'm looking forward to get the VCD. I couldn't seem to find it though... :(
==>Okay...finally!! Completed this whole drama...like I've expected, the ending was a funny one! ^_^ Well, don't ask me, go see it for yourself! :)

This drama made me fall in love with Kusanagi Tsuyoshi's character, I mean he's such a nice guy, why wouldn't you like him? It's so cute, and great acting from Kusanagi... very nice plot, but the ending was a little too exaggerated. Still, it's one of my favourite dramas ^^ You'll feel for Ichiro... (Yuko is just a little too overbearing sometimes!)

Average level Dorama. Unusual love story that begins with a divorce. The constant quarrels are fun. I like most of the actors, especially Kusanagi and Abe, though last named had not reached the high acting proficiency which he has now. Seto Asaka isn't the real thing, but she shines when she gets angry on screen.
9. Comments by cass_dust [Rating: 8/10]
I thought the plot was unique that it started with rikon (divorce). Really like asaka.. but again, tsuyoshi is acting the normal salaryman who is weak and cannot make any decision.. just like star no koi..

Overall I think is still a catchy show with good storyline.. I really like Asaka and Abe! :D
10. Comments by Cerebus [Rating: 5/10]
A romantic comedy that's neither romantic, there is zero chemistry between the leads, nor particularly funny. It's one of those dramas whose thin premise is stretched to breaking point. I watched it as it has Fukatsu Eri and Abe Hiroshi is supporting roles, but they were given very little to do.
11. Comments by dnie [Rating: 8/10]
this dorama is soo funny it will tickle you to the bone..Kusanagi and his face, i cdnt forget it! Asaka Seto looks beautiful throwing his tantrums and Abe Hiroshi as the desperate ex-lovers is so pitiful..ha ha ha..excellent dorama that teaches us about marriage nad divorce!!

I've just gotten my hands on this drama I have been dying to see for almost 2 years. So far, I like their roles--and the constant bickering isn't so bad yet. Kusanagi--I love it when he played the meek guy!
14. Comments by Longman [Rating: 7/10]
Kusanagi had me convinced that he is a henpecked husband. The unreasonable wife played by Seto didn't let me down either. Very amusing to start with, but sort of loses its steam midway through the series.

Story about one couple's divorce. I would have given this a 10, but the woman annoyed me a lot with her stubborn behavior, and the story went on for a long time. But I am also partial to Tsuyoshi. (^_~)
16. Comments by kiba92 [Rating: 6/10]
A pretty boring love story. If it wasn't for Kusanagi Tsuyoshi, I would not have been able to finish it. I am not saying that Kusanagi Tsuyoshi was great in this, I just happen to like him very much.

this should be a 6.5 honestly. there's a few parts of the drama that tug at your heart strings. it's hilarious and touching at times, but it gets laggy near the middle. overall, it's alright.

The story is not bad, I like the quote at the end of each episodes, somehow it makes me laugh out loud.
But I think it's lack chemistry between the main character.

Really great drama! I really fell in love with Kusanagi's character, even if he's a little over the clouds sometimes, he's just really a sweetie, I can't understand why Seto Asaka keeps complaining over little things...
