this is actually an interesting drama, i didnt say its my favorite though, ive warned myself many times never to continue on but i did anyway ;P its very unusual and it may piss you off at the same time.. it was atsuro's role.. being a husband, secondly encountered by his ex-lover who falls into a critical condition and has 6 mos. to live.. so (his stupidity) forced himself to quit his job and leave his family, pretending to be a single man to fulfill the girl's wishes.. i wouldnt know how to feel, either out of pity or angry.. but if you see me watching this, id be throwing slippers to the TV all the time.. i wouldnt say this is for everyone to watch but if you dont like typical love dramas then this is probably a good choice for you.. good story.. sad ending. |

This drama had me angry, sympathetic, and smiling--such an emotional ride. Though I wouldn't consider it a favorite of mine, I found it to be a really great drama that really made me wonder what I'd do in a situation like that. As I'm around the same age as both Etsuko and Kyoko, it was easy to relate to both sides of their story, and although it was wrong of Shoichi to leave his wife to be with his terminally ill ex-girlfriend, it was understandable why he wanted to do all that he could to make her happy. (to be continued...) |

This is the first time I've seen something like this--guy leaves the wife he loves to pretend to be single because of an ex-girlfriend who is dying and he wants to make her last days happy, as she has no family or friends but him. My only problem is that everyone is crying all the damn time, or accidents happen that have nothing to do with our main story. I know they wanted to add in other things, but they weren't fluid enough. They happened and one episode later had no result that really mattered. |

Even though Shoichi seemed completely irresponsible and foolish to promise what he did to Etsuko, it still makes you wonder what you would do in such a situation. I liked Kyoko a lot! She was so strong...but my favorite character is probably Mikiko; she was always smiling, so it was hard to tell that she was actually in so much pain. I thought that Jun Kaname (he was Makoto, Kyoko's male co-worker) was really handsome...I kept staring at him, every scene he was in. ^^;; |

Not the best of all dramas, but fair anyway, with a good set of actors. Watabe Atsuro and Mizuno Miki are excellent as usual, and the storyline, though predictable, well written. The series dragged a little bit towards the end, but the excellent acting of the 2 main actors kept me going. Worth a watch. |

Really weird story, but I do like this one. Mizuno Miki is one cool girl, can't find someone who will stick for you til the end, even though you're one crazy sonamavich. Thats what her character did, she stayed with a stupid husband after all the things that he had done. A++++ |

Brilliant. A well acted, well thought out story. Sad, yes. But if you've ever cared for someone who died, or was dying... you immediately attach yourself to these characters. Watabe was amazing, and I think this was Miki Mizuno's best work. Jeez I loved this show. |

Very thought provoking. I thought the wife's love for her husband, to the point of allowing him to abandon her was sooo deep! Even his son tried to understand. I was blown away by the concept but my wife was irritated and disagreed vehemently. You make the call! |

Really good acting from Mizuno Miki and the love story between keisuke and Mikiko was beautiful. I still think that Watabe Atsuro is one of the ugliest man in this earth and look so stupid each time he appears on the screen, in all the doramas in played in. |

I'm a Watabe Atsuro fan so I had to see this. I liked the Keisaku/Mikiko subplot but otherwise, this was a bust. Did Shoichi just not care at all about his son? Kyoko also didn't seem to be upset at his abandonment of their son either. Unbelievable. |

interesting to watch because of the implausibility of the story actually happening. i cant imagine anyone else playing atsuro's role. mizuno was also good, acting wise and as eye candy. wakui was alright but her role was not so likeable. |

my girlfriend showed her nasty side while watching this one with me; she couldn't believe what was happening and threatened to hurt me if things kept going on course as it was in the series...haha...where's the ben-gay ointment? |
| 13. | Comments by jjpsychic2 [Rating: 7/10]
another different drama..the main character leaves all this to live with a former girlfriend so that he can help her as she battles with illness. He has decided to stay with her until the end. Wakui Emi is a pretty good actor.. |

Very touching and heartwarming family drama. So sad but not a tearjerker one. A wife & son who 'released' their husband/father for a dying other woman. Miki Mizuno is awesome. |

Another drama centered around somebody who is terminally ill. You know that it's going to be a sad story, but any drama that makes you care about the characters is always good. |

It has a great plot, and unparalleled acting by the cast. So much so that I grew to hate the character Atsuro acted as. |

I was able to see it free on TV but I would not pay money for it. Still I'm glad I had the chance to see it. |
