Strawberry on the Shortcake

At some point, Irie Manato began to withdraw himself from the world. Even when picked on, it's not the real Irie, but an act. However one day he meets a strange girl - Misawa Yui. Yui, who finds the tedium of everyday life unbearable, teases Manato with her almost too upfront and honest manner. Alone and afraid Manato wavers but finds himself drawn to her. But his feelings for Yui are doomed to be unrequited.

Do you recommend it? Yes

Story:
From the beginning of the serial you know and are told (every episode) that his love for her is doomed to be unrequited. Thus every episode leaves you asking why? WHY them!!!!? *sigh*

Acting:
The acting wasn't really exemplary by any means. They did the job is really all I can say.

Music:
Being a HUGE ABBA fan perhaps really helped this drama get high marks from me. I simply LOVED it! From start to finish the theme song, background scores, and insert songs were tasteful and beautifully placed. I want to give more than 10 points for this section!

Overall:
This drama has made its way into my heart, so you should have a little taste too. I know you won't give up on this drama until you finish the entire thing! :D
