Yuhuu~~ I am back with another dorama to review. This is one of my new favorite drama. As always, I watch this drama because they cast Keiko Kitagawa in here. I already told you how I adore Keiko Kitagawa so much! Tehehehee...

Keiko Kitagawa as Shirakawa Riko

So this is the synopsis:

Kamiya Naoki is a young player from a professional basketball team. But due to his relatively smaller size and his tendency to crack under pressure, he is unable to show his true skills on the court. Meanwhile, Shirakawa Riko is a cheerful, strong-spirited music college graduate aiming to become a professional violinist. One day, Riko finds Naoki's lost cell phone on a bus, and their meeting begins a friendship that eventually turns into love. However, Naoki was already considering marriage with his current girlfriend. And it doesn't help matters that Naoki's coach has fallen in love at first sight with Riko!

When I watch this drama, there are a lot of familiar Japanese actor and actress! Like Tomohisa Yamashita as Kamiya Naoki. He is the famous Yamapi whose my friends are crazy about! XD When I am in high school I joined Japan Club because I love manga, anime, and cosplay. Never thought of dorama or even J-Pop. But now I am crazy about dorama and realize, "ooh.. he is the one that my friends crazy about". When you see him for the first time, you might say he is resembling Kim Hyun Joong! The one that cast as Yoon Ji Hoo in famous "Boys Before Flower" k-drama. They do look alike!

 And there is Oomasa Aya as Kamiya Yuri, Naoki's sister. She is the one who cast as Nakahara Sunako in "Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge" and the one who cast in "Paradise Kiss" movie along with Keiko Kitagawa too. Oh, and she casted in "Beautiful Love" along with Micky Yoochun.

Oomasa Aya

If I mentioned all the cast who I know and famous, it will be a long story! So here it is my thought about the drama. It is a great drama I think. The skinship is not too much, but enough. I always hate romance drama with a lot of skin ship. The acting is so real. They really can bring out the act of couple falling in love. And the basketball game is so great! It really is professional. The progress of the love between Naoki and Riko is not too suddenly and growing up steadily. And it is only 11 episodes!
Oh, and it is the rating:

IMDB gives this drama 7.2 points of 10 points. And one thing that I hate about this drama is the quality of the camera is not clear, it is like a sephia photo. Not too clear like k-drama.
