To start, Fujii Emi is a girl who can't forget her ex-boyfriend. She thinks that being treated as a "guy's girl" is comfortable, but she wants to feel real love inside. Ogura Saki (Yoshitaka) failed to find a job, and ended up working at a hostess bar. Although she gives lectures to Emi and Mako about love, she has never loved anyone seriously. Finally, we have Hanzawa Mako (Oshima), who annoys men because of her serious and heavy personality; her efforts in love were also fruitless.
These girls start living together by chance, and navigate as a group through their worries about love, career, and marriage, by comforting and fighting with one another.

Funny how i was just thinking if there's any thread for the drama here, and you made one! thank you for making this thread, i think there's a lot we can discuss about this show
I've only watched ep4 basically, so I don't know what's happening in ep5 yet, but so far
Having said all that, I really enjoy this show. It's deifnitely the top 3 favs this season. The music is great, ambiance and the issues presented. Being a single myself, sometimes I do relate to similar situations lol

Thank you for making this thread! I absolutely adore this drama but thought nobody else was watching!
So so many things I love about this drama.. the very real story lines, the chemistry between the 3 leads (Karina and Yuriko's acting in particular are really good. Karina is adorably awkward, almost unrecognisable from her usual self, and Yuriko is so cute yet vulnerable). Love the music as well as the themes each week (esp the parts where the woman in the cafe is typing)
Contains episode 5 spoilers...
avieamber, like you, I think I relate to this drama a lot cos I'm also single. When Mako said to Emi this week "Shiawase ni naritai desu ne", it really resounded with me. I guess at the heart of it, that's what all of us want, and what the characters in the drama are all striving for.
Can't wait for next week!

I'm glad there's a thread for this! I did think about making it myself, but then I thought there might not be that many people watching this. Which seems to be true...
I've only watched the subbed episodes, because they talk a lot and I'm not that confident with my Japanese abilities anymore. The subs have been so good, tho, so I don't mind waiting since someone's doing such a good job with them.
I've enjoyed most of it, but I do feel a bit icky about
But I do love the girls and them having the spotlight in this drama. They have great chemistry together!

I'm going to guess the woman in the cafe is Saki when she gets a job at a Publishing firm, and with the xmas decorations it'll be 5-6 episodes down the track when this drama probably ends around xmas time.
Most definitely my fav drama of this season.
I really like this type of drama. Friendship, love, living under 1 roof.
Anyone can intro similar type of drama to me??
I like Takei character. Straight and brave even he's shy and doesn't look so confident. He seems really a good guy. Hope Takei and Emi would develope more in the story. But I think they actually won't be together in the end.
Hikari is the type of character I hate most. Can't stand for her own man. ughh
Saki is really pity. I hope she could find true love. But I guess she won't. This drama is actually called "the reason I can't fall in love" so... I guess it could end with nobody falling in love...ha..
as for Mako, I think she got hooked up with a freak. Will see in episode 6.

I'm not crazy about it.... I dunno it's an ok watch but.... eh I don't go "omg what happens next!!?" The characters to me are a bit flat/typical (and a bit stereotyped in an annoying ugh way) and don't' seem to bring anything extra with it (maybe Karina.. I guess I just like her tomboyishness but don't like her sad look all the time. .and I love Karina) But I guess there's something in it that still makes me wanna keep watching ^^ But I'm no entirely sucked in though.

Koyanagi Yu is one of the main characters on Yankee kun to Megane Chan ... I remembered him because he is one of the rare REALLY TALL Japanese actors I've seen. OMG I love his character Takei. Serious, funny awkward, and adorable. If Emi's crush doesn't do something quick, hopefully Takei gets Emi.emmy21 wrote: Off topic but I really like the actor Koyanagi Yu who plays Takei. I've never seen him before this drama. Seems like he hasn't had many main roles so far.
garnet07, thanks! am starting to watch yankee kun now and its really funny! But Koyanagi Yu does look rather different in that show. I also realized he was in Hanamizuki which I watched a few times, but didn't recognize him as he looked totally different there as well!
I hope the character Takei continues to stick around in the drama. Mb he could end up with Saki? Otherwise we probably won't see him after episode 7 already.

I think one is called Love Story. Saw it on the credits.edilions wrote:Nice to know
what are the songs called ? If I may ask
Can anyone tell me what did Saki (the girl at the cafe) typed on the laptop for the later part of episodes 5 and 6? I could get the rough meaning but I'm not very sure. Thanks!

This is the only drama I'm watching this season, and it's keeping me interested! Yeah, the story lines and characters are pretty typical, but I expect that from dramas.
I'm surprised no one's mentioned my favorite thing about the drama -- the photos at the end of every episode! Or near the end, whenever it flashes back to Saki in the cafe, typing out the "moral of the episode." I love how the pictures reflect the most recent developments of the plot, love or friendship. I'll probably be compiling them at the end so we can look at the storytelling. ^_^

the three of them looking at the tokyo tower = live broadcast
i'm not sure if any of you watched sengyou shufu tantei, but i gave that like a 7.8, so now i don't know what to give this drama lol. i think i'm too lenient with these ratings but i have to say that this drama had a lot of potential in the beginning
Rating:
How much I enjoyed it: 7.9/10
How much it deserves: 6.9/10
and now my thoughts....
WARNING: SUPER LONG

I just finished watching the final episode.
This the very first jdrama that I have watched. I have to say I loved it very much!
The music was wonderful. The characters were so likeable.
I loved Karina (didn't know who she was until now) as Fujii-senpai.
Thank you Rollins teams for the subtitles.
I am looking forward to trying another jdrama now.
If anyone knows of another show like this one please recommend it to me.
I have selected 'Tokyo Love Story' to try next.

I have the same opinion with you.
I love this dorama because it is really telling about love story.
The problem inside really alive, not like usual dorama.
maybe you should watch hana yori dango if u never watched it before
EriKira, I saw your suggestion for hana yori dango.
It might be a very nice dorama, but I am not as young as you. I am in my forties
So a high school drama might not be right, but thanks.
I finished Tokyo Love Story. Wow was that good!
I am now fully hooked on jdramas.
Next I am watching Freeter Ie Wo Kau.

I have seen only two episodes, but I like it so far.
I also have Great Teacher Onizuka and Dirty mama! lined up next.
It will take me awhile to get to them though.
What are you watching?
if you're into dramas that are more on the serious side you may like code blue season 1 and 2
I finished Freeter Ie Wo Kau and enjoyed it.
I've seen three episodes of GTO and it seems like it will be good as well.
I am really taken with Love Shuffle though. I have seen four episodes and I love it!
I am now a full fledged Karina fanatic.
She plays such loveable characters and does it so well.
I guess I am into jdramas that explore the serious side of relationships.
Thank you both Avatar and sweetimpact for your recommendations.

My review on this drama:
http://doramaworld.blogspot.com/2013/08 ... kinai.html
Simply put, I thought that this drama didn't really offer anything refreshing to look at and the constant but predictable flip-flops in the story's direction didn't help either. Sole consolation was seeing Yoshitaka Yuriko who brought Saki to life with her cheerful appearance but vulnerable inner self.
