Ok, so I have to say, there is some good twists in this drama, plus it is actually showing shit that happens in real life that you never see.
I loved this show.

And if you think Ruka dies, you have another thing coming, I suggest watching this to anyone who likes a lot of shojo shows.

This drama kind of reminds me of something off of lifetime movie network…but with asians…better acting…and characters that you just want to hug.

Seriously, by the seventh episode (which is the one I’ve just finished) I’m feeling rather sad for Sousuke. It’s not just because he’s played by Ryo Nishikido, or because he has a nice smile. His character seems real. Unbalanced, but real. I’m not condoning his actions, but this guy isn’t just a psycho for no reason. That is, he’s got issues, but there are reasons for those issues.

Ueno Juri is an amazing actress. Her character in Nodame Cantabile (a fun, semi-girly, cutesy musical prodigy otaku) is completely different from the girl she plays here. Even if I did not like the premises, I would probably still watch this just for Ueno Juri’s amazing acting skills.

Masami. At first, I had to think, ‘Wow, is this girl weak.’ She takes all this crap, and it seems like she’ll never get out. But she’s strong. Her character is very different from the one from Proposal Daisakusen, but she is still incredibly three dimensional.

And there are other characters, each deserving of their own paragraph …but they’re all so very different. And although it sounds cliche, they are also so very alike.

This drama is sad, but it has yet to make me cry. (…I only cried in the last two episodes of 1 Litre of Tears, but teared up many a time in the episodes preceding those). Just try it out.

[...] beginning to understand Hinano’s frustration that led her to not want to watch this show. Ruka and everyone in Share House tried so hard to pull [...]

I’ve been wondering about the “death that could have been avoided”….of course the visual and text make you think its Ruka, and that would seem logical, but the “present time” narrators are Michiru, Takeru, and Ruka, which would seem to indicate that they are all around to comment on the past…..? It is basically like watching a train wreck, but somehow I’ve found myself signing up for more abuse (oops, no pun intended….) with the next episodes….

I hope Ruka, nor Takeru WON’T die…. I love their characters. It would be sad if Eri dies too… I wish Sosuke will die… I bet that child Michiru has now is Sosuke’s…

Wow I really loved this first ep. It’s not really that depressing, and is in no way fucked up. Violent boyfriends (and husbands) do exist, and so do gay people. It’s not “fucked up”, it’s life. Life is not a shoujo, so yeah, a really good and touching ep. I’m totally wanting to see the next ones (and by the way, I liked everyone’s acting, including ryo-chan).
Watch it, minna-san!!!!!!

Figured it was gonna be an emo-crapfest, but since I mistakenly thought that about Ashita no Kita Yoshio last season only to find it was funny and had some mystery to it… I decided to at least check out some trusted reviews to know for sure.

It actually sounds worse than what I was expecting.
