Itazura na Cameo

That was a genius-placed cameo, OG Naoki couldn't have come at a better time. It seems like she made his appearance by passing by Naoki in the hallway when Naoki most needed to be reminded of his dream.Sahoko really is a great match for Naoki, no matter how hard I try to dislike her. Also, it seems at this point that literally no one but the Mom cares about Kotoko and Naoki being an item.I feel so bad for Kin-chan, the more he tries the more I think his heart break will be at the end of the show.

Four Stars

At this time, I am hurting so much for Kotoko and Kin-chan, they deserve to be happy ^_^ these two last episode Naoki moved backwards instead of forward. I wasn't bothered with his cold attitude but now he is getting on my nerves. I hate how much he is hurting poor Kotoko :( and the barely scenes they have together he is so cold I doubt he has any feelings for her.

Next, last episode :((

Way to go Kin Chan!

Although I am only dreaming and Kin-Chan will be super hurt in the end; I can’t help but root for him because his relationship with Kotoko in this version is simply the best.

Well, now we know how it will go but I still sympathized with Kotoko because she felt very pathetic and she finally gets that she needs to give up on Naoki who’s being very mean by the way; why insist on marrying a girl that you don’t care one bit about? Even your father told you not too.

And once again; Naoki’s mother is so cool with her actions and words, she’s like Kotoko’s die-hard’s fan LOL

Too soon, too little

The thing is at this point the story could have moved ahead so much. If there's only going to be 16 episodes, why include so many extra episodes like the Christmas one, and why try to be painstakingly detailed about so many side events.
The way they have been telling the story, it needs more than 16 episodes. Otherwise, I don't know how they can do justice to it.

Am I the only one who thinks this drama is losing steam?

I love this show, I really do. And I don't have a problem with the current story line or how it's being played out, except that it's SO LONG. The past few episodes have just made me feel so bad. I guess that shows the writing is effective, but I'm losing sight of the chemistry Naoki and Kotoko have. In the other versions during this part of the story I wasn't nearly as depressed for them. I have a feeling when the drama is over and I've seen the resolution, I will like this episode more because it amps up the conflict.

Thumps up <3

Some may say that there was not that much progress, but I think every single second had it's meaning and I wasn't bored for a second. I had to rewatch the scene at the piano concert 'cause it's so cute that Naoki phantasizes about Kotoko!! I think the actor did a very good job and same goes for the writers. And for those who didn't know: this time the 96's Naoki played the doctor who went by.There is only one very big and frustrating problem: How do I survive 'till the next episode???????!!!!!!
