However, Teppei runs into his ex-girlfriend Mizuhara Sanae (Junna Risa) who is now the girlfriend of his brother Soichiro (Uchino Masaaki). Consoling him is Riko, whom Teppei likes gradually. Just when Teppei and Riko start dating, Sanae realises that she still likes Teppei...- JDorama

Do you recommend it? Yes

Story:
It really is a good romantic story about a guy who just can't seem to get over his first love. The drama starts off really well, but somewhere around episode 6 it really becomes draggy. The final 2 episodes did an okay job of wrapping it up. The drama REALLY is great in the beginning so it's really disappointing when something so promising lets you down in the end... (note satisfaction rating)

Acting:
Absolutely superb job from the main actors, the supporting cast however really do much to contribute to the value of the drama. The main leads really do steal the show. The chemistry between them.. wow. They're very cute together.

Music:
Sounds like some 80s music, but its quite good. I liked the ending theme more.

Overall:
I really do recommend this drama even though it becomes quite average after the 6th episode.
