Koi wa Tsuzuku yo Doko Made mo (2020)

I'm just thinking the writer cant really decide whether she wants this drama to be romance with the medical elemets or other wise.

The plots were messy. It seems the writer just dump every cliche elements into the plot and they ends up pointless. The stalker who came out of nowhere, the meeting of Tendo with Sakura's family, the accident and Sakura's comatose period, the Kamijo's pursuing and suing, the Shinji-Ryouko romance, the Sakai-Sakura friendship, the third-wheelers (Kisugi and Miori).

This is a predictably cute dramas with lack of depth each characters' development except for the female lead. It still watchable thanks to the actors. Or I might say it's a waste that Satoh Takeru is in the drama.

Romance et monde médical

Je regarde énormément de dramas coréens, des chinois, mais au niveau des japonais, je n'ai que peu de recul.

Cela dit, j'ai été très vite embarquée dans ce drama.

Le rôle du médecin Tendo est complexe, on a autant envie de le secouer que de le protéger. On sent derrière cette allure froide, et ce comportement si désagréable une personne avec des blessures comme chacun d'entre nous. Sauf que lui les gère avec une armure de glace.

Le rôle de Sakura, est à l'opposé : Naïve, optimiste, joyeuse, et surtout, sûre de l'amour qu'elle porte à ce médecin pourtant dur avec elle.

Leur relation : Et bien on passe par toutes les phases : On a envie de rire, de pleurer, de les secouer, et finalement on se laisse embarquer.

Le monde médical est très présent dans ce drama, il faut adhérer, mais j'ai adoré cet envers du décor. En plus, 10 épisodes, cela en fait un drama court, de temps en temps, cela fait du bien !

C'est le premier drama japonais que je regarde et que j'aime autant, aussi je le recommande, mais uniquement pour ceux qui veulent vivre l'épanouissement d'une jolie histoire d'amour, qui pourtant ne semble pas gagnée au départ.

Ils sont touchants, et finalement, forment un couple en osmose complète. Comme quoi l'amour c'est le destin ;-)

un moment de sourire

Une jolie romance? oui. Cliché? carrément. Un bon moment malgré tout?

Nanase Sakura devient infirmière par amour. Par amour pour son coup de foudre rencontré 5 ans auparavant, un brillant médecin, Kairi Tendo. Par amour du métier, par la suite. Suivant les folies de son coeur, Nanase confessera son amour une fois infirmière à l’hôpital où travaille Kairi. La désillusion la transpercera de suite, Kairi est surnommé « Devil ». A juste titre. Loin de déchanter, notre petite infirmière au grand coeur se promet de gagner coûte que coûte le coeur de l’insaisissable « Devil ».

Les plats réchauffés sont loin d’être mauvais. Bien que rassasié de cliché, ce drama arrive tout de même à nous accrocher agréablement. A m’accrocher.

Je suis, du plus loin que je me souvienne, une amoureuse de manga. J’ai grandi avec. J’ai dormi avec. J’ai aimé avec. Je n’ai jamais réellement affectionné les actions live japonais.
Jusqu’à "Hajimete Koi wo Shita Hi ni Yomu Hanashi" et "Chugakusei Nikki". Deux dramas qui m’ont tellement empêché de manger sereinement que j’ai voulu en savoir un peu plus. L’avantage avec les J-dramas est leur format court qui permet de faire une pause entre deux dramas coréens ou chinois mais aussi l’ambiance souvent légère et décalée. Quand vous sortez meurtris et le coeur brisé d’un drama de 49 épisodes comme « The Wolf », un drama comme celui-ci, vous permet d’avoir la sensation de sortir marcher au bord d’une plage joyeusement malmenée par des vacanciers insouciants.

Ce drama est loin d’avoir été choisi au hasard. J’ai une admiration sans borne pour Satoh Takeru. Il est Kenshin et le restera dans mon coeur pour les décennies à venir. Par curiosité, j’ai donc voulu voir ce petit génie autrement qu’en samourai-bad-ass-trop-sexy. Et je ne suis pas déçue.
Je ne vais pas vous mentir, à chaque coin des épisodes, je m’attendais presque à le voir nous faire un saut incroyable ou à courir tout en faisant ses acrobaties les plus bluffantes. Le syndrome Kenshin (je devrais peut-être encore me refaire toute la saga...).
A la place, des expressions froides et bougonnes avec une voix de ténor qui correspondent parfaitement au personnage incarné. Et sans surprise, Satoh Takeru y excelle avec aisance. J’ai parfois, pour ne pas dire souvent, du mal à adhérer aux personnages glaciales qui se transforment par magie en un personnage maladroit et enfantin. Je pense notamment à « the fox’s summer season ». Je préfère un personnage qui reste fidèle à lui-même tout en évoluant en même temps.
Tendo Kairi est ce type de personnage. Froid aux répliques cinglantes. Un médecin avant tout qui ne laissera jamais ses pensées personnelles mettre en péril ses patients. Ses regards assassins et son rictus désabusé m’ont totalement séduite (je dois être un peu masochiste tout de même, en ce moment, c’est la totale « loose » avec le drama « The Wolf » qui a un héros encore pire que Kairi).
Bien que séduit peu à peu par Sakura Nanase, il ne se déparera pas de son attitude. Et c’est ce qui fait que j’en suis (presque) tombée amoureuse moi aussi. Rendant ses actions, ses mots encore plus surprenants.
Rhaaaa! Le premier bisous. Vous savez ce premier que nous attendons tous, celui qui me voit redevenir une gamine de 17 ans toute rougissante et pourtant toute rêveuse (Ah vous aussi?)….je peux les compter sur les doigts d’une main les bisous qui m’ont fait sautiller sur place. Il y a les intenses. Les passionnés. Gentillets. Et il y a les surprenants tout superbe de classe. Leur premier baiser fait partie de cette dernière classe. Ainsi ceux qui suivent aussi. Un pur régal pour la romantique que je suis.
Et puis, Satoh Takeru en romantique bougon, moi je dis mille fois oui! mille fois oui à son 馬鹿, « baka »!

Sakura Nanase est un personnage classique que l’on retrouve souvent chez les japonais. Simple, maladroite avec une âme joyeuse et positive. Elle rappelle un peu Kotoko « d’Itazura Na Kiss », tant par leur métier, leur caractère et leur amour sans faille envers le même type de personnage. Il n’y a pas vraiment de surprise ici, Nanase reste fidèle à elle-même, un personnage qui change petit à petit le héros grâce à son caractère joyeux et positif, à ses soins contants et sincères envers ses patients et à sa force de caractère.
Comme souvent, les romances secondaires ne m’ont pas particulièrement attirés. Les personnages secondaires sont sympathiques mais pas remarquables.

C’est donc un drama qui permet de faire une transition agréable, un moment qui permet de sourire sans arrière pensée.
Et puis, si vous avez ne serait-ce qu’un chouilla d’affection pour Satoh Takeru, n’hésitez pas.

Opposites Attract similar to ISWAK or A Love So Beautiful

Likes: The sinuous Tendo and his suppressed emotions and desires. The adorable Sakura who wears her heart on her sleeve. The dynamic between the two.

Dislikes: Like with most dramas, the fainting/near death incidents are worthy of multiple eye rolls, although I get why they are in so many dramas...I just wish they can do it a bit more realistically. I mean, how many people really faint from a cold?

I'm a sucker for these opposites attract type of dramas where the ML is an intelligent nonchalant type who warms up when a bubbly bright FL enters into his life. What I really liked about this drama was that Sato Takeru and Kamishiraishi Mone really sold me on their characters, especially KM. KM really seemed like this adorable clueless girl who keeps getting herself into trouble. I mean, we've seen this kind of female character so many times, but some actresses tend to be a little over the top...a bit too dumb to be real, but I didn't feel that way so much with KM.

And Sato....he has this sultry vibe that's a bit exciting. He has this way of delivering lines that would usually be too cheesy into words that make your heart skip a beat. And his barely there restraint when it came to Sakura would just suck me in like a vortex.

If you liked ISWAK or ALSB, I would recommend checking this drama out.

*A romantic bad boy/good girl type drama in which male lead shows seems tough but infect is very kind*


This is drama is a definite watch because it contains everything that we like from a perfect story to excellent performance by the actors special lead actors.
Well this drama a contain a starcross romance between a doctor and a nurse.
Our female lead first met our male lead for the first time five years ago unexpectedly and from that day she is madly in love with our ML she studied very hard to become a nurse so she can meet him because he was a doctor.
And there starcross they meet again.

*Detailed*

Have you ever loved someone so much and irrationally so optimistic that someday you will be with him and to be near him every single day, and you really try hard to make it come true? Well this drama is all about it.

I was so much enjoyed watching this drama, the plot is nothing new, it’s about to pursue your first love to become yours.

It’s nice, funny, and you won’t find someone really cunning in this drama.
Every episode ends well, you will excited to watch how the story goes on.
I love watching how good the chemistry between the casts Takeru and Mone.
I am also impressed to watch the relationship of doctors, nurses and patients in Japan in this drama, as well as their technology in medic.
You will love to see the cities of Tokyo and Osaka in this drama.

Nurse Sakura is a hopeless romantic.
From the beginning she declares the whole world that she loves doctor Tendo.
She may looks naive and irrationally in love to him, but her love towards him is pure, strong and sincere.
She works so hard to become a good nurse. She is clumsy, kindhearted to patients, and cheerful. She likes to fantasize dating with doctor Tendo, and like a Warrior - she never give up on her love to him. She remains optimistic that someday he will love her even he seems ignorant and cold to her.

The two opposite characters of this couple are the main attraction of this romantic drama.
Since a million years he knew that she doesn’t suit him, she is not as smart as him, but still he starts falling for her.
It’s so sweet to see how doctor Tendo's love for nurse Sakura develops slowly and in the end he loves her as much as she loves him.

Believe me, you will not regret watching this drama. Highly recommended!

Peace out

It's been a while since I watched another Japanese drama and I finally began to watch them again. The reason I started watching this was that I saw a video from TIKTOK kissing her and that kiss was really attractive and hot... I'm a rom-com drama type and I cannot believe that this drama made my 2 days funny and memorable. If you are the type of person who loves cringy, romantic, clingy and funny drama, then this is the drama I would recommend. Each episode made my day, made me fall in love and jealous. Encountering and dedication in this drama really inspire me to do the same thing. The way she met him and used him to become a nurse was crazy but that changed her life. For me, I like how guys tend to be strong, and impulsive on the outside but gentle and ykow nice n stuff.... His acting 'Sato Takeru', was really portraited properly. There may be an age-gap but the way they interact and act like it's not a problem was good. I just wish they showed us how he fell for her and not ... (don't really want to spoil it..so) But, overall... I am thankful that I encountered this drama from a video and decided to watch it because that was a good decision. Hopefully, I can find more dramas that will kill time in this quarantine days.

Cute Story

This was such a cute Drama to watch. It short so it makes it easy to knock out in just a day or two of binge watching. Overall the story line was very cute and it gave me that sweet sweet serotonin we are all searching for. As someone who works in electrophysiology I really appreciated the accuracy of the patient illnesses and treatments. Some are a little far fetched but it was enough that I did not have to suspend by disbelief.
As for the acting the actors seemed very into their parts. Although I wish the male lead's role had more sustenance to it so that he didn't seem overly stoic. Up until the last few episodes I might even go as far as to compare the role to that of Kristen Stewart's in Twilight. Often times the second hand embarrassment from how cringey the female lead was too much to bear without pausing or looking away.
I liked the music, although I'm pretty sure it was just two songs ( or maybe even one and its just the instrumental version ad the version with words and i never noticed until the last episode). Would have been nice to have more variety in the soundtrack.

Would i rewatch this?
Simple answer, yes. Thus far, there has only been one asian drama that i knew right after watching it the first time that I would rewatch it. This is not that drama. However, i would not be against rewatching it. It is not the type of show I am adamant about rewatching, but if i needed something to cheer me up or to fill the void I would have no problem putting this on. I guess in a few words it is just a comforting show.

After watching a lot of dramas with a lot of complicated twists and turns in its plot, I was looking for something light but sweet. And luckily, someone from MDL posted this on the feed and stumbled upon it.

Wasn't really expecting much from this drama because 1.) not really familiar with it 2.) not familiar also with jdrama that much, i have only watched a few so far 3.) i don't know the actors 4.) well, it only has 10.5 episodes. Can't really expect a lot from that.

It started quite okay. Honestly, I thought it was gonna be another "They kissed Again" adaptation. But it was somewhat different. The more I watched, the more I got hooked. The plot was light but not too light that it gets boring for the viewers. There was also enough cliches which is my guilty pleasures in dramas especially romcoms. And what surprised me the most is that, despite the age gap of the leads, I really liked their chemistry together (just a back story, not really fan of age gaps hehe. it's more of a personal preference).

I'm really thankful that I stumbled upon this drama. Really really nice. It brightened up my week :)

I guess now unto the next drama <3

Ok. Let me start by saying I loved the story. Loved the actors. It was super cute and well written. Now did I want to smack the lead actress a lot of times YES. Did I want to go thru the screen and hit her in the back of the head. YES. She was a bit frustrating. But I still love it all. I would watch it again and the music was great. The ending was super super cute. I loved how we know about everyone. The main male lead was great. I want to see more of his stuff. I liked how nothing was dragged on too long.

Músic was great
Actors were great
Rewatch yes
Would recommend 100%

Not enough to redeem the tired plot devices

Standard innocent girl and jerk guy. Girl falls for guy and dedicates her life to becoming a nurse and finding him. She goes to a nursing school that apparently churns out incompetent nurses that are unable to fulfill even simple duties. She gets a job. Guy is a doctor there. He calls her an idiot repeatedly. She loves him more for it.

Soon they are dating for reasons that are mostly unclear but basically she's nice to patients and is observant which comes in handy. Still guy appears to be in pain when he's with her and repeatedly calls her idiot.

There's a secondary romance between an incompetent guy from the same school as hero girl. It makes no sense, there's no chemistry and it adds nothing.

Girl goes away for a year which takes up five minutes, then they get married. He calls her an idiot during the wedding. Apparently its now a term of endearment though he still appears pained to even talk to her.

Yes, this is a common trope but if I didn't know better I'd say this is a satirical attempt to bring a merciful end to this archetype. But no, it's just not all that good.

As i am in a first week of quarantine I am looking for a different series, Korean show gets dark and complicated so navy times so I was checking out Japanese show.. not a fan due to some I’ve seen are lacking of emotions (maybe a cultural thing) anyway I saw this show with Satoh on it. Knowing him as Rorouni Kenshin I want to check out If he could do a different character, and boy! he’s surprisingly an amazing Sundere. The female lead is cute but I am taken aback on how young she looks compare to Sato. She have this typical Japanese female character, naive, clumsy, loud and got this confident stalker tendencies. I get second hand embarrassment but enjoy her sunny disposition in life. Character development is good and I like how Female Lead able to focus more on her career at the end.

Overall this series is your typical romantic comedy. Very funny and so romantic, Sato is such a heartrob. It’s A feel good show that you can easily watch over and over.

I honestly started watching out of boredom but found myself so damn ecstatic every week for an episode. The drama is addicting due to the entertaining characters and cute love story. Tendo’s character development from a rigid, unhappy man who only wants to help others to a smiling sweetheart full of love was breathtaking. Sakura was the perfect, hardworking female lead and their progression into this cute couple unable to live without one another was also adorable. I loved the way she grew into her character without changing. The actors did so well. I find myself falling for them in real life :’ 10/10 for the drama’s realistic approach.
