Aihara Kotoko is not so smart girl who fell in love with a genius (both in academic and sport) boy, named Irie Naoki, since the opening school ceremony. In her senior year she tried to confess to him but she turned down because he didn't like "dumb woman".
One day, Kotoko's house collapsed because of a meteor made her homeless. Somehow her father's best friend offered her and her father to live in their house which turned out the son of Kotoko's father's best friend is Irie Naoki.
Starting living together they know each other better and will their love grow? XD
Opinion
This dorama is a remake of dorama that had been aired in 1996. I've watched the old ones and I think this one much better cause I can feel much younger spirit in this dorama. The female lead in the new dorama acts much better than the old one, cause I found the old one was kinda so loud and annoying. Well, I haven't read the manga but my friend said that the new dorama much more looks alike with the manga. I love the chemistry between Miki Honoka and Furukawa Yuki, though they have 9-10 years old difference.
Actor/Actress Attractor
- Miki Honoka, playing as Aihara Kotoko. This is the first time I've seen her in a dorama. I found her acts as Kotoko is really cute and lovable. Though have quiet big age difference with her male lead but she could match him well. I hope I could watch her in another dorama so I could know that I really like her.
- Furukawa Yuki, playing as Irie Naoki. This is the first time I've seen him as a male lead. I've seen him in Asuko March, Rich Man Poor Woman, and Koukou Debut but not really significant role. I love him when he talks English, though his good English came from his experience living abroad. Somehow I found him acts really matured than his female lead, yet I don't know it's because the difference age or the character he should play. After all, he's good and sometimes made me doki-doki.

4/5 stars.
