Koi wa Tsuzuku yo Doko Made mo (2020)

"Koi wa..." Es un drama que se ha convertido muy popular últimamente (principalmente por Satoh Takeru), así que me dio curiosidad ver el drama y comprobar si en verdad es tan bueno como muchas dicen.

La historia no tiene nada de novedoso, prácticamente es una niña que se enamora de un médico y en un principio parece ser su único motivo para ser enfermera, cosa que me pareció patético, a su vez, algunas cosas que ella decía y sus acciones me daban pena ajena, entiendo que por el cliché puede lllegar a ser estúpida, pero a veces se pasaba. Sin embargo, ya que también es un drama médico abarca varios casos dentro del hospital, los cuales me parecieron fáciles de entender e incluso hasta conmovedores, que diría que es uno de los puntos fuertes de la historia. Por otra parte, casi todos los personajes secundarias y odié que no tuvieran demasiadas escenas para ver como iban esas relaciones por enfocarse demasiado en la pareja principal, sobretodo me hubiera gustado ver un poco más de la relación de Sakai y Kisugi.


¡El cast es como una bocanada de aire fresco! Me encantó la elección de actores y actrices de este drama, que por un lado puede ser una especie de trampolín para que crezcan mucho más algunos de actores jóvenes (como el actor de Kishi y la misma actriz de Sakura), otros ya consolidados (como Satoh Takeru) y otros que tenían un poco olvidados y regresaron con fuerza (en este caso principalmente me refiero a Karina!!!, qué gusto me dio verla aquí después de todo lo que tuvo que pasar!!).


Del OST no tengo mucho que decir, "I love" de Official Hige Dandism era como la cereza del pastel cada que terminaba el capítulo, el resto de las melodías también eran perfectas para cada ocasión.


Como comentario final, este drama cumple perfectamente con su cometido, que es entretener a de una forma ligera aunque de forma cliché. Siento que es de esos que cuando alguien que quiere entrar en el mundillo de los Jdramas pregunte: "¿Me pueden recomendar un drama romántico?" Este definitivamente va entrar entre la lista de los dramas clásicos de comedia romántica junto con Hana Yori Dango e Itazura na Kiss, por ejemplo. Creo que el público que más va a disfrutar este drama es sin duda el femenino por las escenas h0t de Satoh Takeru, principalmente las niñas menores de 20. Para alguien como yo que ya ha visto mucho y de todo tipo de romcoms, este no me sorpendió nada pero tampoco me desagradó, por eso tiene una calificación "regular" de mi parte.

Un dorama muy cute.

¡Hola, bebés! Hoy estoy contenta porque por fin puedo decir que vi una se las series más populares de Japón y, a pesar de todos los clichés, la disfruté mucho: #LoveLastsForever.

La historia, por si no lo saben, va de una chica que decide estudiar enfermería luego de conocer a un médico durante una emergencia. Esta chica, llamada Nanase, pasó cinco años enamorada de él a pesar de solo haberlo visto en esa ocasión, cosa que le juega una mala pasada porque cuando comienza a trabajar en su mismo hospital y le declara su amor, se entera de que al doctor Tendo no le dicen "el diablo" por nada.

Okay, para empezar tengo que decir que a mí no me suelen gustar las series de hospital y esta la disfruté mucho, pero eso fue porque se centra más en las relaciones entre los personajes que en la medicina en sí. En resumen: el hospital es más un escenario que otra cosa, aunque sí toma relevancia en algunos momentos. Yo considero esto un punto a favor, pero depende de cada uno.

Pasando a los personajes, en general me gustaron todos. Entiendo por qué Nanase le puede parecer insufrible a muchas personas, la pobre es una boluda, pero, siendo ficción, su torpeza me pareció muy simpática. Tendo, por otro lado, es un personaje que en teoría no debería haberme gustado, pero Takeru Sato lo hizo tan bien que me resultó imposible no amarlo (aunque genuinamente no me vendieron bien el momento en el que a él le empieza a gustar la prota, eso lo sentí muy brusco). Y bueno, los secundarios son muy buenos, así que no tengo nada que agregar ahí.

Al principio dije que la serie está llena de clichés y sí, hay uno atrás del otro, cada uno más predecible y telenovelesco que el anterior, pero como pasan de una cosa a la otra bastante rápido, no me molestaron tanto. Agradezco que al menos no usaran el recurso de la amnesia.

El crecimiento de la prota es muy lindo, los momentos de romance son disfrutables, hay una pareja secundaria muy simpática, algunos de los pacientes se ganaron mi cora, me reí mucho con varias escenas y no me aburrí en ningún momento a pesar de todo lo que hay para criticar, así que la recomiendo (más si tienen en cuenta todo lo que dije).

Suena como una historia donde una chica determina toda su vida alrededor de su crush por un chico y así es como inicia, sí, pero en realidad es un dorama muy dulce sobre una joven noble que descubre su amor por ayudar a las personas a través de la enfermería.

Nuestra heroína, Sakura Nanase, es una bolita de energía, llena de sonrisas, buenas intenciones y mucha, mucha, torpeza. Si existiera en la vida real, diría "esa chica es un peligro mortal para sus pacientes", como es un personaje ficticio, desde el inicio le tomé un gran cariño con todo y los miles de errores que puede cometer. Me encanta su perseverancia para ser mejor enfermera, su personalidad y sus capacidades para observar y entender a los pacientes, y así ayudarles en todo lo que le sea posible.

Nuestro demonio, Tendo Kairi, es frío, estoico y no tolera los errores, se dedica de lleno a salvar la vida de sus pacientes y ha dejado de lado su vida romántica después de haber perdido a la persona que amaba.

Me fue difícil no enamorarme de la química entre los personajes, así como le es difícil a Tendo Kairi no enamorarse de la maravillosa persona que es Sakura Nanase. El crush de una chica con un chico que conoció unos instantes se transforma en una relación adorable, en la que ambas partes se animan mutuamente para cumplir sus objetivos de vida.

Existen dos relaciones secundarias que, si bien no son tan desarrolladas, se plantean desde el inicio y no salen de la nada al final. Los cuatro personajes involucrados me gustan mucho y me alegra que las parejas se den una oportunidad.

Las historias con los pacientes aportan mucho a la evolución de los personajes y se disfrutan mucho. Lo único que me dejó un poco confundida fue la línea de tiempo, no entendí muy bien la edad de los personajes. Otra cosa es que hay un accidente que carece de lógica, pero las escenas que siguen a eso logran que olvide preguntarme cómo demonios creen que funcionan lo accidentes.

Es una historia que puede tener algunos momentos bobos, pero con seguridad digo que tardaré un rato en superar a la pareja principal, que me robó el corazón con facilidad.

Have you ever loved someone so much and irrationally so optimistic that someday you will be with him and to be near him every single day, and you really try hard to make it come true? Well this drama is all about it.

I was so much enjoyed watching this drama, the plot is nothing new, it’s about to pursue your first love to become yours.

It’s nice, funny, and you won’t find someone really cunning in this drama.
Every episode ends well, you will excited to watch how the story goes on.
I love watching how good the chemistry between the casts Takeru and Mone.
I am also impressed with the relationship of doctors, nurses and patients in Japan as well as their technology in medic.
You will love to see the cities of Tokyo and Osaka in this drama.

Nurse Sakura is a hopeless romantic.
From the beginning she declares to the whole world that she loves doctor Tendo.
She may looks naive and irrationally in love to him, but her love towards him is pure, strong and sincere.
She works so hard to become a good nurse. She is clumsy, kindhearted to patients, and cheerful. She likes to fantasize dating with doctor Tendo, and like a Warrior - she never gives up on her love to him. She remains optimistic that someday he will love her even he seems ignorant and cold to her.

The two opposite characters of this couple are the main attraction of this romantic drama.
Since a million years he knew that she doesn’t suit him, she is not as smart as him, but still he starts falling for her.
It’s so sweet to see how doctor Tendo's love for nurse Sakura develops slowly and in the end he loves her as much as she loves him.

Believe me, you will not regret watching this drama. Highly recommended!

tbh i went into this drama not expecting much, i only really started it bc of sato but i ended up loving it so much and couldn’t wait for the next eps. obviously it’s based off a shoujo manga so i was expecting it to be cliche and cringe but it wasn’t. the plot is the typical shoujo storyline with a tsundere ml however he’s actually really affectionate and cares a lot just doesn’t show it much. the fl isn’t actually naive or that annoying she’s just very expressive and open about her feelings towards tendo. sakura and tendo are adorable together. although it’s a medical drama it’s not the most accurate depiction of the field so don’t take it seriously.

the acting is great. obviously sato is a good actor and mone is really good too. the actors are able to convey both comical and serious scenes well without being too over the top (like some manga adaptations)

overall if you want a great lighthearted fluffy drama where the leads are really cute then i recommend it. like i said it’s not a medical drama to be taken seriously so if you want that don’t watch this as you’ll probably get frustrated at the inaccuracy lmao. watch it for the romance, not the medical aspect.

I am not a fan of medical dramas. I am not of fan of Japanese dramas. Today a new dimension has been opened for me. I just realised what i am missing out on. Today i have come to realise Japanese dramas can just be as good all other the dramas i watch. Its just a combination of a good plot, excellent cast, beautiful ost and the result a perfect little 10.5 episode drama i wanted to binge again the moment i watched the last episode.
This is the perfect Japanese drama i have ever watched. Now i am not sure if there's any good stuff out there.
Scale of 1 to 10...10.5
Rewatch value.....perfect score
I highly recommend this for someone looking for something sweet and fluffy. Thank me later.

Sakura and Tendo are the most lovable and cute couple that I have ever seen in a drama. Although it had only 10 episodes, I was hooked into this drama. At first I thought Sakura was extremely in love with Tendo so I thought this drama would not be so good. But as I watched this drama, I fell in love with Sakura and Tendo. Sakura was madly in love with Tendo and what I loved about her was that she was never afraid of anything. She was an optimistic and happy girl that was like a sunshine to Tendo's life. She never hesitated about her feelings towards Tendo. From the beginning she made clear that she loved Tendo and I must praise her courage to confess her love in front of everyone right after they met.
Tendo's character had a huge development. I thought he would be very cold and ruthless towards Sakura but he never disrespected her. He was also madly in love with Sakura afterwards. He was really sweet as a boyfriend and was head over heels for her. At first he was hesitant to express himself but slowly he stared to express his feelings towards Sakura. He was very professional towards his job. He never mixed his personal life and work life together and that is what made him more attractive in this drama. Tendo is one of the best boyfriend material ever. It shows that destiny surely plays a huge part in your life.
Also I loved every other cast in this drama. Everyone played their part perfectly. It's hard to move on from this drama. I smiled and laughed o much in this drama. I also wanted to cry because some scenes were really touching and sweet. I loved Sakura and Tendo's chemistry. I wish it was longer than 10 episodes. But nonetheless I absolutely loved this drama and I'm sure you won't regret watching this drama. ❤❤

Should you? Would you? Could you?

You should watch this one (YES! )
You would recommend this to others. (YES!)
You could watch this again. (YES)
This is one definite watch. I have enjoyed a Japanese Drama after so long. The story, the characters, the plotline – ALL add to the charm of this one. I love the way that in spite of the romance running as a strong theme, the writers have managed to focus on the medical part of the drama beautifully. The lead pair is enigmatic – amazing chemistry! Her dedicated love for him, her bubbly personality and her ability to connect with the audience and patients are so well acted by Kamishiraishi who plays the energetic Sakura. What do I say about Sato who plays the cold and enigmatic Tendo!!! He is swoon-worthy (Do I need to say any more?) I loved the fast paced-ness of this drama. For the first time, I didn’t want a drama to end so soon. Do watch and enjoy this one.

I started this drama without expecting much, of course at first the female lead actively chasing after the male lead was really embarrassing to watch up till the point that I understood that it was from deep admiration of his commitment and dedication to his job to saving lives as a doctor. The male lead being very cold at first was disheartening to watch until he gradually began to melt and like his unrelenting nurse Female lead who proved that she only had eyes for him and no other man whether he was good or bad until he felt unworthy of her love and devotion .
I liked that at the end he was also concerned about her career growth and development above his feelings, this made me really like his character plus he was hella building that chemistry with his girl once he fell for her.
There wasn’t any crazy love triangle or family intrusion in this drama . Just simple and straightforward 10 episodes of them growing to fall deeper in love .
As basic as the story line was, I would watch it again and again because it brings such good feelings.

To be honest, I need to say that overall I enjoyed watching this, but it wasn't the best drama I've ever seen. Cliche romance with cliche tropes, but I think the acting saved this one.

STORY:
- I haven't read the manga, but I felt like I've seen this before. NOTHING NEW. Typical female character that wants to get that one man no matter what.
- This specially felt like "Itazura na Kiss, season 2" remake. Sakura is basically Kotoko 2.0. Even though I love Kotoko, I don't get what Tendo saw in Sakura. She is so pushy, loud and annoying. Also, why did she kept calling him "Sensei" when they are in a relationship? (ONE OF MY BET-PEEVES)
- Second male lead syndome is REAL right here. Kisugi is the ideal man.. JUST WHY? I truly hoped they focused more on Kisugi and Sakai. oh well..
- Nishi and Ryuko's story-line was pointless. Instead, I would have loved to have more development on Kisugi and Sakai's story-line (THEY HAD POTENTIAL COME ON)
_ What I enjoyed the most is the medical stuff. Doctors and nurses were on point and these scenes were really heartwarming.

ACTING:
- Sato Takeru was on point (AM I SURPRISED? NO). My man's smirks just.. wow. Also, as a doctor, he did great as I always expect from him.
- However, Kamishiraishi Mone, idk but I don't think she was the best. She is just so LOUD, but also looks young that it kinda made me uncomfortable seeing her with Sato. I haven't seen any of her other works, but I would love to see more of her because I like her energy.
- The rest of the cast did an amazing job. I specially would love to see more of Maiguma Katsuya's works! He did so well!

P.S. istg this drama has the most amount of kiss scenes I've ever seen in a Japanese dramas! That was nice! JAPAN GET IT.

Superb!
I really love Takeru eversince. He's the reason why I started watching JDramas. And I fell more deeply into him after watching this. For the first time, I've seen him kissed and hugged a girl so many times. I didn't know he can be that sweet, loving and manly. Sides of him we can't see on his other dramas. His gaze really amazes me. How can a person's eyes be so expressive just by looking. I can't take it!
It's been 3 days since Ive finished watching KoiTsudu and I still can't get over TakeMone. I don't think I ever will. Their chemistry is just so great, I almost think they're real. I'm sincerely hoping for more projects to the both of them (to feed my TakeMone ship).
I'm not a fan of medical dramas and I tend to pick Japanese dramas I watch as I'm more into KDramas but this one can be on top of my list. I really love the story, acting, cast and the OST. If ever this drama has a hundred episode, I'll still watch it. That's how good this drama is. I've watched this in one sitting and I'll rewatch this forever.
I'm hoping for season 2 (cross fingers) or a movie version with the same casts just like Rich Man, Poor Woman.
Overall, I'll rate it a hundred star. 10 stars aren't enough for dramas like this. My love for this drama will lasts forever.

This drama was so pure and innocent!

I knew I was going to be down for a vibe similar to S2 of ‘Itazura na Kiss’ and it did not disappoint.
Sakura Nanase is such a cutie. Tries so hard, deserves the world.
Tendo-sensei is the classic cold demeanor male lead (his nickname is literally 'the devil' so I mean) but dammmn is he smooth.

The overall plot is solid. Although, at times plot lines well aren't spaced out well? It’s probably because the director's aware they must cram everything into 10 episodes, but the result of this is that all the major plot developments/plot lines are over and done with so quickly and it leaves the audience wondering what was the point of even going there in the first place.

Another thing, (minor spoiler but I must rant) our couple keeps getting interrupted in either of their apartments by Tendo's sister, you’d think after the first time they’d learn to LOCK the DOOR! And also, didn’t Tendo come over to SAKURA's apartment? Why is his sister barging into Sakura’s apartment??

But apart from that, this drama is a nice easy watch. The best part for me is it helps remind me of the good old days of S2 of Mischievous Kiss, my all time fave. It's hard to not enjoy this drama ♥︎
