Koi wa Tsuzuku yo Doko Made mo (2020)

"Baaaka..."

This J-dorama was very... ~shojo. I don't know if this is based on a manga or not, but I've read alot of them and this concept is exactly like that. So, whatever tropes you have in mind, it will happen. All of them.

It's been awhile since I last saw that kind of a happy-go-lucky FL. She's overly confident with her love interest and expresses that shamelessly. She doesn't care that everyone knows, she's happily grinning whenever someone talks about it. The whole staff is even encouraging her - though indeed in an earnest way and without any ulterior motives. (If I had a crush on a colleague and everyone openly knew about it, I would hide in my locker for a year or something.). She's also clumsy and drifts off to lalaland during work. If I had to work with her, she would be my worst nightmare >.<

>>> This represents the whole absurdity of the drama - plus the non-existing hierarchy between nurses and doctors (I don't mean showing off who the boss is but maintaining certain boundaries).

NEVERTHELESS... this was still a very entertaining watch and a guilty pleasure-watch done right.

Pros:
1) The characters were enjoyable. They were overall good-natured people, and even though one or two made a dick move at some point, they held it low-key.

2) The medical stuff. I'm a medical assistant, so I'm extra strict on these things. I won't vouch for everything, esp. not for the cardiological cases, but most of the simple medical tasks were done quite right.

3) The FL somehow managed to grow on me. At first she gave off a child's vibe but as the story went on, it gradually improved. She got better at her work and she also became somewhat (pheromone-induced) beautiful. You know what they say, love makes you beautiful.

4) Skinship!
This is something (as far as I can compare) J-doramas are partially better at than K-dramas. When there's a hug, they huuug, when there's a kiss, it IS a kiss. No dead-fish peck, no lip-caressing, no tongue-digging. Just a normal kiss. When they want to brush the other one's hair, they don't hold back as if it's some super fragile glass-carpaccio or something. They simply caress that damn head. They don't futilely try to put a single strand of hair behind the other one's ear, that eventually falls back onto the cheek anyway.

5) No overdone slow-motion.

6) Some things felt a lot more natural than in K-dramas. First of all, I think that Dr. Tengo Kairi (Sato Takeru) was the most authentic character in this. His behavior never felt exaggerated and I synced with his annoyance every single time. Furthermore the vibe that a couple radiates after a certain time. The shyness disappears and gets replaced with cocky confidence. That's what you want to see in a drama.

7) There's Sato Takeru. Period.

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.

You can definitely tell that this is a shoujo manga adaptation...a cheesy, silly story with a lot of cliched plot lines thrown in here and there throughout the drama lol.

That being said, I still enjoyed watching the drama overall. Usually this kind of story is not really what I would go for but it was cute and made me giggle like a silly girl..:P And I think I've just developed a crush on Sato Takeru..o.o..♡♡

I think I was able to enjoy the drama more cause I watched it with low expectations. When I initially heard if this drama, I thought it was going to have a more serious story. So if I watched this expecting a more sensible story, I would have been disappointed.
But still, if the story had been less cheesy and cliched, I would have given a higher rating.

I like the cast and Sato Takeru played his tsundere character really well.

And omg I love the OST...❤

Beautifully executed the love story having some funny episodes as well as meet with the reality of life that how people born with their dreams ,some full fill it ,some face lots of struggle to accomplish it ,some sometime face criticizm in their work ,on the other for someone, dreams remain dreams.
Story also tried to explain the situations which doctor faced and if the colleagues are good so they easily overcome with this . Love is not selfish for her sake he sent her to abroad to pursue her goal.
Dialogues were also good .
Three dialogue I remembered
1.don't cry if I don't know
2.never ever leave me ,we promise each other not to separate ,not to leave each and love forever while saying this he hug her from the back.
3. Don't do mistake again ,let me first hug you
4.last one last scene ,this remind me and he went to ask about promise and they kiss each other.
As a whole I love watching this drama
Please season 2 ,3 ,4 and so on.

Guys! Kalo kalian cari yang cute-fluffy-tsundere semacam itazura na kiss, maka ini adalah pilihan yang tepat!

Ini agak klise ya, mengejar mimpi demi cowok. Tapi menurut gue ini dikemas dengan baik. Mana tsundere si Tendo sensei kena banget haduh :( Well walau sempet kek, ketemu Tendo-sensei waktu SMP eh waktu udh kerja ga berubah mukanya Sakura-san, tapi tetep sebenarnya kalau gue ga terlalu peduli, ya. Yang penting alur sama chemistry kena.

Perkembangan cinta Tendo sama Sakura emang agak cepet as this drama just have 10 episodes. Tapi di manga juga cepet sih sebenernya, but tetep bukan yang kayak cepet banget. Aktingnya kena banget! Apalagi si tendo waktu furious banget pas Sakura mau 'mati' HAHA.

Pokoknya must watch! Yakin deh ga nyesel!

Best. Show. Ever.

No spoilers btw, literally all you need to know.

Now, don't think I'm the type of person who simply rates a show without rational. I've watched lots of romance show, and so far this has been the highest I've rated for any show. Here's a slight heads up on what u can expect for this show:

Acting/ Cast
The ML is the typical cold, mysterious, super hard to approach guy. If you're a fan of these kind of guy, I'm telling you, WATCH IT! The FL on the other hand, is a expressive, cute, girl! In these classic love stories, usually some people find these kind of girls annoying? But honestly it's quite bearable and it ends up really cute. She's not dumb, she's a nurse. She worked hard!

Plot
STEAMY KISSES!? and most importantly SUPER cute and LOVING scenes. I really love how well they bonded. ML is so sexy in one of the scenes *cough* with a tinge of jealousy here and there. But I'm telling you the story is amazing. He acted really well as a cold person and she acted really well as a girl trying to get close to her crush.

Music
Song was addictive please omg. Listened to it for quite some time

Rewatch value
Just as I voted, I've watched it twice. Planning to go for it again! But decided to drop by here to leave my review <3

But yeah, hospital settings, doctors, nurses. I think if you have a thing for doctors then it just adds up the point. Character development was there, just really love this show. Hope you enjoy!!! <3

The story of the happy idiot and the handsome Icicle

Idiot, Idiot, idiot... the female leads nickname and most probably the most translated word in this whole drama... I wonder how much idiocy there actually is in this drama?

The male lead is an everlasting icicle, who reminded me of the guy in Playful kiss, just without an ounce of playfulness. An everlasting icicle that is true to his core and well kind of cruel most of the time. He is however fun to watch and does stand for some pretty good eye candy...


The female lead is as cheerful as cheerful gets, annoying at times but mostly lovable even if her obsession does become a bit overbearing at times.

The rest of the cast are pretty decent, including a very lovable second male lead.

The messages, medical stuff and talks about treatment and transplants where decent at times, a bit meeh and odd other times. They also mentioned HCM, which made me kind of happy.

A decent watch, not really relationship goals but entertaining enough for the moment.

Buingablety- high
Heartflitter- medium

" Koi wa Tsuzuku yo Doko Made mo " was okay in the beginning, but got way too cliche towards the ending.

First of all, the medical cases were pretty good. Sakura, the female lead, was a good nurse, as she cared for her patients and she did the effort to get to know them and specifically assist in their needs. The medical cases themselves were interesting and, some of them, very emotional. However, they got less and less towards the end, as the drama focused more on the couple rather than their profession.

Now, for the love story, at first, it was okay. The male lead was enough cold and "evil" to keep things interesting and create strong dynamics with the female lead. However, straight from the start, she came over to him, claiming that she loved him (even though they met once in the past) and in a way demanded that he should love her back, or date her. And the most annoying thing of all was that everyone actually had the same opinion and kind of pushed her to keep pursuing him like that. So, that approach felt too extreme and just not okay overall. But, passed that, the romance was a bit rushed at some point. Like, they were trying to fit it in while the medical cases took place. Still, that wasn't a deal-breaker. However, the drama started getting cringy towards the end. Especially the last episode was way too cheesy, using many of the well known tropes. Now, the drama was based on a manga, so keeping that in mind, it can be excused for some of the plot choices. However, the story was not well presented, and, as a result, the drama seemed too cringy.

In any case, it was light and kept things entertaining for a good part of it. But, I wish that they had time to develop the other couples too. So, overall, because the performances were good from everyone in the cast, and Sakura was cute, 4 out of 10.

Mixed feelings about this one

I have really mixed feelings about this drama. It put me through a plethora of emotions including sadness, happiness, lots of second hand embarrassment, love, frustration, and irritation. It made me laugh a lot and it touched me too. There was a lot I disliked but there was a lot that I liked too.

The male lead is referred to as the devil doctor not because he’s mean but because he’s rude. He’s so focused on helping his patients and being the best doctor ever that he has no time for anyone else. And if someone messes up and delays his patients recovery, (which is usually the female lead) he’s very critical of them. Finding out about his traumatic past which made him distance himself from people helps to understand him better. And seeing the female lead pull him out of his self imposed isolation is endearing.

The female lead is known as the warrior chick because of her unrelenting pursuit of the devil doctor. At first she seems very silly, insecure, and awkward, with no real focus in life other than pursuing the doctor. But as the drama continues she matures and becomes more confident. She’s still awkward but she realizes how important being a great nurse and helping people is to her. And her tenacity and genuine concern for people draws her coworkers to her as well as multiple suitors. It’s quite satisfying seeing her character growth as the drama progresses.

What I didn’t like about this drama was how stoic and cold the male lead was throughout the whole drama. I had hoped that once the main leads got together he would at least be sweet towards the female lead but he didn’t improve much in that area. Even though they were dating he didn’t tell her that he loved her, why he liked her, or what was going on in his mind. In fact, he didn’t really act like a boyfriend at all. It made me feel really sad for the female lead. I felt so much second hand embarrassment for her as she pursued him in the beginning and was repeatedly rejected and criticized. So when he wasn’t a very good boyfriend and she constantly felt insecure about him and their relationship I was really disappointed. I felt a lot of second hand embarrassment and sympathy for the female lead. That being said, I have to say that the leads did have good chemistry and there was some pretty sweet moments between them that were very touching.

This dramas strength is in the great acting skills of the cast, the character growth, and the sweetness between the leads in the last few episodes. The weakness of this drama is the male leads personality, his treatment of the female lead, and the weak storyline. If you liked “A love So Beautiful” or “Playful Kiss” whose male leads were similar in personality to this male lead then you’ll probably like this drama. But for me it was a painful watch at times. I’m torn because I was really touched by many of the characters and I loved the main leads chemistry. But even though I’m glad I watched it, I wouldn’t watch it again. Its a decent drama but not a great one.
