The quality is great from the DVD.
The dorama is good in my book with great acting skills by Ninomiya Kazunari, Erika Toda and Ryo Nishikido. I liked the story but not the ending somehow. Anyway, a nice one and the title song "Beautiful days" by Arashi is great.

This doesn't usually happen very often. As I watch the series unravel with plot developments and character changes, I could understand the popularity of the show. What suprised me was how I started to replay these scenes in my head. Things made more sense afterwards. Memories of the characters laughter and heartbreak play out with even more effect.

Kudos, once again to Maki Horikita ( I adore her!! ) I hope her career gets bigger and bigger. Maybe, she might want to go back to horror movies.Good screamer!! Highly recommended.
