Cast/Characters
- Tabe Mikako as Hanamori Ichiko:
Fucking annoying as hell character!!! When she sniffed *cringes* FREAKED ME OUT! Jezus she made the dorama insufferable! Not exactly like the actress either...
- Sawamura Ikki as Shigemura Kanichi:
LOVE this man <3 He was great as his character and his acting was awesome too! His character was so amusing xDD Seriously he and the guys pulled me through this dorama!
- Tegoshi Yuya as Kirishima Ryuta:
Ahhh Tegoshi <3 we meet again after Yamato Nadeshiko xD So cute in this! Shame his character liked her -__- He needs to strenghten his character though it think, maybe play a rough or mean-ish character next time to allow us to really see his acting, but he did good anyways ^_^
- Masu Takeshi as Monma Jiro:
I love this guy anyways ^_^ his character was funny too!
- Ohkura Koji as Yanagi Seishiro:
Such a funny character loving BIG women xDD
- Mikami Kensei as Duke Tanaka:

- Ishizuka Hidehiko as Wada Jun
- Taguchi Tomorow as Tamura Kazumasa
- Fukikoshi Mitsuru as Komatsubara Yuki

- Imai Kazuko as Ichiko's grandmother
- Fujimura Kanae (藤村佳苗) as a police dog handler:

No pictures this time...
Overall:
Story: 4/10 - Meh alright story, kinda freaking because of the nose thing *cringes*
Characters: 6/10 - Gets a lot of points lost because of how damn annoying she was!
Cast: 7/10 - Again loses because of her but I haven't seen her in much else so can't knock her as much as her character. There are a few well known actors in this too! So all good haha
Songs/Music: 7/10 - Wasn't dying for the song afterwards and I remember the soundtrack being okay.
Overall: 4/10 - Not the best dorama but I can understand why some people would like it. But for me, worst one yet.
ReWatch? No thank you!
Reccommend? If sniffing doesn't freak you out then sure thing!
