Koi wa Tsuzuku yo Doko Made mo (2020)

Strangely addictive and enjoyable

I resisted watching this series for along time. The plot of a subordinate female nurse (Nanase Sakura) in love with a taciturn handsome doctor ( Kairi Tendo ) has been over-used. However I’ve watched this series a few times and there is something oddly charming about it which grows on you. The female protagonist seems annoying and cringey at first but you grow to love her just like Dr. Tendo does. I laughed out loud at her funny responses like when Kairi told his father how he intended to marry her. She immediately started to jump up and down and then quickly says “my apologies I lost my composure “. She is an authentic character, pure of heart character. The lead couple have good chemistry and the supporting cast is decent as well. There are no annoying characters in this series. Even the “competition” for Kendo isn’t vicious or manipulative. Overall the series was an enjoyable, light-hearted distraction.

on my top Japanese drama.

I usually don't enjoy Japanese romance dramas as much as other Asian romance dramas, however I'm surprised how much I like this one.
Firstly, I really enjoyed Nanase as a character, she was cheerful, clumsy, happy, which are kinda of cliche characteristics, however she was probably one of the most open and in touch with her feeling type of character I've ever seen/ seen in a while. yes she might be slightly too dependent on a man she met and fell in love a first sight but you also see a very independent and determined side to her when it comes to her being a nurse !!!! I loved the way she would say what she felt, and even if she didnt say it directly, she clearly showed it in her actions. Loved that queen!!!!

As for Tendo, well he was the complete opposite to her. At first he kinda frustrated me, he had little to say and was just damn right rude to her. However he does grows on you. When they first get to gether, I still felt unsure about him and his feelings as the, "getting together" was kinda sudden on his part anyway, In a way. but his character development was very rewarding to watch. seeing the way Nanase changed him was pretty cute !!!! you see him open up more, say how he feels and display more affectionate actions towards her.

For the story itself, I liked it!! I mean it was nothing really "special" to say the least but it was nice, all the side characters were great, the stories of the patients where good, luckily not too many sad stories, so its not too sad. and yeh I would probably watch it again.!!!

BUTTERFLIES IN MY STOMACH

Honestly? beautiful. This whole drama made my heart feel warm. Let me start by telling you that all of the relationships presents in this drama are extremely healthy. ALL. Both love and friendship ones. I loved every character. Honestly the way Kairi falls deeply in love with Sakura is beautiful. She fell first but he fell harder literally. The storyline is hilarious and sweet at the same time, you simply can’t stop smiling and giggling and laughing during all the scenes. Let me tell you: you may cry a little bit because there are so not soo funny scenes but it’s part of it. EVERY character is funny, EVERY, they are all so sweet. And the way no matter what Sakura never gives up on her dream and she keeps going and you can clearly see that she’s growing up and how everyone keeps encourages her is extremely sweet. This was my first japanese drama and what an amazing way to start. Loved it. Prepare yourself to love every minute of it. Also I need to talk about this because it made me feel extremely happy: when Kisugi tells Sakura how he feels he never once stopped being an amazing friend to Kairi, he keeps helping both of them specially Sakura and he never ince blamed Sakura for not loving in back. This is what i want to see in dramas, i hate seeing so many unhealthy people doing the most stupid things and this was sincerely beautiful. I miss all of them already, 10/10.

Best Japanese Rom-Com in the last decade.

What can I say about this legendary drama that hasn't already been said? There's a reason why this drama was a phenomenon in Japan and overseas when it was released. It was Mone 's breakout role and catapulted Sato to international stardom. I watch a lot of Japanese dramas and this drama is really up there with the very best of them ;from the last 3 decades even. Even till this day Koitsudu still top most popular/beloved of most lists least in Japan. The OST obsessed, I still listen to it till this day. The script is not new. This has been done so many times but the huge success of this drama is mostly because of Mone and Takeru electric, amazing chemistry imo. I don't rewatch dramas often but this is 1 of the few I rewatch the most. It's such a beautiful slow burn falling in love story. Amazing cast, cinematography, music...this is 1 of the rare instances where everything came together to create MAGIC ✨

better than Playful Kiss..oops.

I've you've watched Playful Kiss, you will love this even more - I'M NOT KIDDING.

The Story is kinda similar to Playful Kiss, with the FML being crazy in love with the ML, wo acts like a man with a heart of stone.
The Episodes were never boring, the show didn't drag too much, my heart was fluttering EVERY episode.
Trust Me, this Drama has done things to me!!
Todo and Nanase's chemistry was definitely there and all of their romantic scenes, got me screaming and melting, and i had butterflies in my stomach??? i'm so glad they got their Happy Ending.
I can't really say anything bad about this drama, because honestly there wasn't anything that i didn't like..??
well...
The FL was over exaggerating sometimes, she made things really awkward but that made me like her even more.
And the ML is total Eye Candy!!
Let me add this Drama to be my second favorite of all the dramas i have ever seen.

IT'S A MUST WATCH!!!

I cannot explain how good this is from the music to the story to the chemistry. It would not be an exaggeration to say its the best J-drama i've ever watched. This has raised my expectations so high I have not watched another J-drama on this level ever again. WATCH IT YOU WON't REGRET!!

Skip this part if you do not want any spoilers.


This are a few of my favorite things about this show.
- First although it is relatively light it has a little bit of sadness (someone dies, not the MC though)

- How when the twin sister of Tendo sensei's ex came back she was not toxic about liking him

- His past with his ex girlfriend was not too dragged

- That one breakfast scene is one of the best scenes i've seen in a tv show before

Whelp

This theme of a grown woman acting like a bumbling idiot around the stoic, good-looking male lead is prevalent in Asian modern dramas and is one of the reasons I hesitate to watch them. There was nothing remotely romantic about Sakura chasing Tendo around in the workplace, especially with her curious lack of work ethic. She had the emotional maturity of a teenager and the intellect of a five-year-old. How this woman made it through nursing school is beyond me. IMO, Tendo should have filed a sexual harassment claim against her because not only did she persist in declaring her unwanted affection, but she also interfered with his work. Had it been the reverse, no one would have thought Tendo was 'cute' for incessantly harassing Sakura. The only worthwhile aspect was the ML actor who, with his disheveled hair and sharp angles, embodied the sexiness that I see in most Japanese actors.

Anyway, another reviewer (Launev) wrote much of what I thought was wrong about this series. Arigato and sayonara

For the reasons that many picked this up because of "It Started With a Kiss" vibes, I dropped it because it gave me ITSWAK vibes. I seriously dislike people (not just females) who don't have the dignity and follow a guy around just because you saw him for like five seconds and devote five years of your life chasing that demon, ahem, I mean, dream. What if the guy's married? What if the guy's a junkie? And I hate the disparity of dumb, clingy female chasing, a good-looking, smart guy who thinks he's all that so it's okay for him to be arrogant. Being a pathetic loser ain't cute. Putting down someone isn't hot. This is clearly an incurable case of toxic behavior.

I was bored and give it a shot, its a dissaster, really i want to puke only from thinking about it. first of all they using young actress for this role, because only young actors could do it,
in the recoomandation in this drama there is "Itusura na kiss" it is the same identical plot and ideas, stupid girl fell inlove with a young doctor, it's just stupid in so many levels, the difference between this and the other one is that it's not funny at all.
if you go and umillihate woman intelligence at list you should laugh on it,, or make all the characters dumb and stupid, but in this drama it's not funny in any way, it's quite depressing.
the yoing actress look like she is 14 or 15 years old, she is dumb i want to know ok you are dumb and the man of course is really smart,
can't it be the opposite in asian dramas??????? can't it be that the man will be the dumb one???? the woman will be the doctor?
it would be refreshing,, but aoubivously they will not do such a plot because women in general abused over and over again, i matter of fact the even so get to used to it when they feed it by watching this crap. they even not aware of the impact they have, so to watch stupid woman for no reason without even get some humor for women that are the only viewers of it,,,it's quite interesting,
in general "Itsuru na kiss" are also not funny, because it's a remake of other asian version that are. if i'm not mistaken the original is Twian. i think that Japanese are in the extreme of depressing women and using them also in other disturbing ways,for example in the porn industy. and that is why women there doesn't want even to bring children in japan.
the issue with that and the connectin to this drama is very close. why? because when you watch this drama you are also discriminate women and also help those mean people to conteanue and disciriminate women and use them as an object and a tool.
you just should stop watching this crap

This drama is simply awful.
I should start by the promotional poster. A stethoscope on her head? Is this supposed to be funny or is it telling us she's an air head while he is the one using this instrument in a wrong way. I don't get it.

About the story:
She becomes a nurse because she has a crush on a guy she sees once.
A completely normal decision. /s

She becomes a nurse because he's a doctor (gender roles must remain the same /s)

She's inept and confesses to him the first time she sees him.
Because all women lack skill and can't do anything other than caring for babies and cooking and cleaning at home. The other skills have to be bullied in with intense training./s
He's the best doctor ever (because men are always skilled professionals /s) and a complete asshole who treats everyone (except his patients and small children) like garbage. Treats her even worse and bullies her to give up on nursing which turns out to be one of the many episodes of negging we'll probably see in this drama.
Oh yes, such a lovable guy /s.
A true love story.
A true misogynistic, domestic violence leading "love" story

I thought we had enough of these.
Why are we still making them in 2020?
We don't need to bring every manga to life.

Not even my admiration for Sato Takeru will make me watch this.
