When I read the synopsis I thought this is gonna be another lame drama But I watched Ep1 anyway, becoz I'm a fan of Kanno Miho.
Surprisingly, the story/script passed my standards. The first thing intrigued me is how the main girl and guy are uncle and niece (blood-related? shld be...). But slowly the story made me feel more and more curious. Some scenes has different and interesting directing. Best part of this drama besides Miho, is the themesong by AIKO, lovely! Minus parts of this drama are Eikura's so-so acting and the main guy lacks charm. Junpei is like a bonus for me
