I've enjoyed watching all the episodes of this JDrama, never was a dull moment. But the Yamada character is a bit over done, nonetheless it's a great series. Also one reason I got caught on watching this series is because of Saori(Ito Misaki). She's one of the most prettiest face I've ever seen. Very innocent and angelic look that really fits to her role.

This series will get you roll on the floor laughing out loud(ROTFLOL).
