Well, I watched this drama 3 years ago..
I always noticed that youngest bro in this drama.. That time, I think he's cute in a unique way.. I nver get to know his name though cos I was still young and nver surf the net for this type of web specially for jdrama's fans..
I watched Kurosagi a few weeks ago..Kurosagi's face is so familiar..
and then, I remember, he's dat cool youngest bro.. I check with this web for confirmation..It's true.. Yamapi is always so coooool

This drama is awesome..
But, I'm not satisfied with the ending

My Review: 8/10

The drama had a great start, and even though random incidents occurred, the randomness could still be forgiven since the drama was light and funny and very entertaining. Well�c to an extent. I found that around episode 7 or 8, the drama began to wear thin. Ideally, the story should have come to a close after the run-in with Shuuji, since he managed to bring out the story of Natsumi�fs past. However, the plot kept going and therefore got out of hand. For example, the Miss Nihonbashi Queen contest. What was the purpose of it? It was just filling space. The drama got stretched out too thin, and although it was still fun and grand, it could have ended earlier than it did, and thereby making it more of a success in my eyes.

Click on button to reveal/hide spoiler:

I did like how they managed to close off all the loose ends (i.e. Natsumi�fs relationship with Shuuji, Yujiro�fs relationship/situation with Hidemi, Tomo-chan�fs outgrowing of Jun-kun, etc.). However, they left the actual ending wide open. Perhaps they�fre planning on a second season, or a special. In any case, it would have been nice to see who she�fd end up with, but I found the end nonetheless appropriate.

I also enjoyed the cast quite a bit. I fully understand Natsumi�fs confusion with all those gorgeous boys around. I don�ft know whom I�fd have picked either! Mind you, the acting was even better than the eye candy. The actors matched the personality types perfectly, which added to the success of the drama. This was my first time seeing Eguchi Yosuke in action, and although I spent the majority of the show drooling over Tsumabuki Satoshi, in the end I was cheering for Eguchi-san. Both Tsumabuki and Yamada Takayuki were brilliant, which I expected of them since I consider both awesome actors. Even Yamapi, who was the weakest of all the actors in this drama, pulled through and managed to portray his character well. And lets not forget Takeuchi Yuko. She was the powerhouse of this drama with her charisma and loveable smile. No matter the criticism, this drama is worth watching just for her.

This was an all around fun drama. Regardless of the rather laboured last few episodes, it was still good and a delicious watch.

I wouldn't call them "pretty boys", cause with the exception of YamaP, they're more handsome than pretty.

But I will say that the handsome boys act VERY well, so you shouldn't have a problem stomaching them.

That said, I have no interest in handsome guys, either.

LOL! I know, I know. But you must admit that the term "Pretty Boys" comes with a lot of baggage, and I didn't want you to think that's all there was to it.

Speaking of which, I could really go for some omurice right now.

I'm glad you liked it! There are a lot of food dramas out there for you to watch! I particularly recommend Kuitain 1 and 2.

I liked every bit of it. I usually enjoy this mix of fun, action, romance, and food !
Food is a very important part of the Japanese culture, so it makes sense that so many Doramas revolve around food, or have so many eating scenes in them (in restaurants, at home around the family dinner).
This one made me reminisce about the Omurice that I used to have sometimes when I was in Japan - Shortly after I was trying to do my own. Hmmm

Yeah! Food dramas! I love them.

And Lunch no Joou is one of my favourite. Made me crave for omurice all the time while watching... yum yum!
