Koi wa Tsuzuku yo Doko Made mo (2020)

How do I begin to say how much I loved this show? I mean, I stumbled across it when there were only like 5 episodes and it takes a week to get a new one. I waited patiently for it and never got disappointed.

Tendo and Nanase were just so perfect for each other. Mone and Takeru's chemistry was off the charts amazing.

This is a short and sweet drama that would have you craving for love. You will support Nanase and cheer on for Tendo. I love how they both grew from episode one. It wasn't like Tendo pointlessly falls in love with her just because she was chasing him. He fell in love with who and what she was.

I'm a sucker for tsundere characters and Tendo just got me hook, line, and sinker for this. Nanase was cute and raw, she developed so much in the short run of this drama.

I definitely understand why this was such a hit in Japan. The story is worth your while.

P.S.: The OST is the bomb, I tell you.

It might be unrealistic but the story will buoy you up

I do find some Japanese dramas tend to be quirky and larger than life. This show is definitely quirky and not very realistic but it was just so sweet, fun and swoon worthy. It is also short so that there is no drag and the pacing is spot on.
The premise of the show is simple. A young girl was smitten by a doctor after a chance meeting. She decided that she will become a nurse just so that she can pursuit him romantically. After a few years of hard work, she graduated and managed to get posted to the same hospital as a junior nurse. At first the cold and aloof doctor only see a silly young nurse who confessed to him on her first day at a new job. Over time, he saw her better side and fell in love. Oh boy, when he fell in love, he was a smouldering hot mess!
Yes, the story is tropey and there were more than a decent serving of clichés but the story was so uplifting, warm-hearted and the emotions were so pure and strong that you just have to hang on for the ride. The acting was good from everyone and you can't help but fell in love with the feisty FL. Speaking of the FL, instead of just being a bumbling damsel, she actually grew and became an excellent nurse and admired by everyone. The ML, on the other hand, changed from a cold and prefectist doctor to be a sweet and hot blooded lover. His confession scene when the FL was injured was so touching and heartfelt. Swoon!
Some will find it too sweet but give it a go before judging it. Highly recommended for anyone who likes a good rom-com.

Must watch

This drama is the one of my favourites! Japanese drama's can be different (for me - but it doesn't stop me from watching them!) as I find they tend to leave a lot out.. so your always having to fill in the blanks. I didn't find that with this one.

This was a nice mature drama with no screaming girl - it's a nice story about a 'devil' Dr with little to no emotions who catches the eye of a young nurse who has fallen head over heels in love with him and has to break through his rough exterior.

The story flowed nice, had super fantastic acting in it - even the second lead stories were spot on.

ITS A YES FOR ME, WATCH IT!

Ok now, this one's cute. Yes, you may say that "hmm that's weird, how could she dedicate her five years to a guy she just met once." I understand your POV, it may not be possible for you - lol, not even for me- BUT FOR OUR FL, IT IS. Her devotion for sensei is no joke, imagine planning out your whole career because of a single encounter?? LMAO, but still it was cute! One of the best jdramas to be honest! No petty fights, ML and FL are matured - and its all just SOOO FLUFFY AAAAH- Indeed, you wont regret watching this 10 episode drama!

The only thing I lowkey got annoyed with, or maybe cringed at, is FL's smile. YALL, I THINK SHES EATING A HANGER OR SOMETHING! WILDDD HOW HER SMILE COULD STRETCH THAT BIG??? But aside from that, I love it!

Be ready for some secondhand embarrassment though- our FL aint called warrior-chick for no reason!

NOW GO WATCH IT! ITS NOT A WASTE OF TIME, TAKE IT FROM ME WHO USUALLY DROPS DRAMAS IN THE FIRST FEW EPISODES! HEHE have fun!

No Chemistry…Tropey…Ultra Immature Female Lead

An immature female lead is not unusual in Asian dramas, but the character of Nanase Sakura is worse than most. In the story she is supposed to be 22 years old, but acts about 12. Even though she has spent five years training as a nurse, all that seems to really matter to her is that she wins over her doctor crush. He is distant throughout the drama, except for the last episode or so and is constantly insulting or ignoring her, calling her dimwit and boulder. Anyone with any amount of self-respect would have backed off long before she does. What she sees in him and what he sees her is a complete mystery; their chemistry is an absolute zero. I’ve enjoyed other J-dramas I’ve seen, but this one was a real disappointment. The only thing that made it watchable were the medical cases which were pretty interesting.

If you are under the age of 15, you might find this entertaining; otherwise I would give it a hard pass

ITAKISS 3.0? I dont think so.
No doubt, others may find this one reminiscent of ItaKiss where the girl chase the boy for many years, and the girl ended up being a nurse because of the man. However, the two dramas have a major difference in terms of character growth in the female lead. I love how Nanase grew professionally on her pace. Another difference is that Tendo is milder than Irie from ItaKiss. He gets mad only when patient's welfare is at stake.

Satoh Takeru in a romcom?! Yup, same reacion.
It was really a shock that Takeru at his age and status would finally do a romcom after many years. But, yeah, he pulled it off. Actually, I love his Tendo Kairi more than the manga version. He gave it more life and dimensions.

That chemistry is no joke! Yes, Takeru x Mone chemistry is really something.
Despite the age gap both in the drama and real life, they were able to give us one the best chemistry in japanese dramas. I dont ship that much in real life, but I'd love to see them together again in another project, maybe not as a pair but just together in a role.

OST is lit! Ive been playing I Love by Higendandism countless of time already. I love the timing of when this is played in the drama.

Uma lição sobre o ciclo da vida e um romance fofo!

Se você está procurando por algo super fofo, mas com aprendizados para a vida, então, você veio ao lugar certo.
Esse drama é baseado em um mangá de shoujo então obviamente tem alguns pontos que alguns podem considerar como um "vergonha alheia" pelo menos para mim foi impossível não parar o episódio em algum momento e surtar com a Sakura (e isso não é ruim! acho até ótimo). No começo, você pode achar um pouco incoerente a Sakura ter se tornado médica para ir atrás do Tendo, mas com o tempo (não tanto tempo, no segundo episódio isso já é evidente) ela desenvolve um novo objetivo.
Assisti faz 8 meses e estou revendo agora para mim continua sendo um drama perfeito que entrega tudo o que você precisa pra sair de uma ressaca com apenas 10 episódios (dá até vontade de mais kkkkk), e a atuação está no ponto
Talvez você sinta que a cinematografia deixe um pouco a desejar, alias é um drama de 2020, mas parece ser de 2009 kkkk não sei se é proposital ou se é do formato, entretanto, isso não me atrapalhou nenhum um pouco até me fez gostar.

Recomendo muitoooooo, é o meu drama japonês favorito!!!!!!

I finish lakorns, dramas very quickly during this Covid 19 self isolation days, so I decided to settle with this one upon a recommendation by a fellow MDL member.

Before I start my reviews if you are feminist don't bother to watch.

As you'll be start moaning, why they write the female lead stupid, why she declared her love, why he's a good doctor etc, why can't women can be a good a doctor bla bla.

There's no domestic violence, a part from bullying, everyone gets bullied, even docs get bullied, so get over this..

Yes there's one domestic violence slap scene that's when Kamijo one of Tendo's tried to slap / punch him. Even after all the bad / humiliating words he used for Sakura, Tendo remained calm.

Ah but if you say only beautiful, clever, talented girls deserve to date, good looking, clever, professional guys, that's another case.

No need to be a snow flake, this is not real life, only a drama, if you don't like it move on to something else.

I prefer male doctors to female doctors, male doctors are much more gentle where as female docs are no where as gentle as male doctors...

I didn't have much expectations, my J drama adventures had ended after watching Itazura na Kiss series several years ago..
I recently returned back to watch J Version of You are my destiny.

DR. Tendo Kairi, he's a genius doctor, handsome, clever, sharp, where as Warrior aka Chick, NurseSakura Nanase is quite the opposite.

She's clumsy, a bit naive, a bit stupid, nowhere as clever as Tendo..

Yes she's stupid, yes she rans after a man who she had seen only once in her life, and becomes a nurse,

She falls in love with him and decided to be a nurse after Tendo helping an elderly lady..

The first day of work she declares her love to Tendo infront of every single people in her ward.

She goes through a lot to be a better nurse, and to win the heart of Tendo

She was not a great nurse, but she became a good one, Nurses learn in field, I know nurses who are specialist but much worse than Sakura in real life..

She doesn't only win the heart of her love but others fall in love with her as well.

I like Tendo's sister and how she helped Sakura to win the heart of her brother.

She had good relations with other nurses, and she's loved by all the patients in hospital.

The actress looks young and she's young in her 20's and the actor is in his 30's..

For the moaners it takes 6 years to graduate from medical school ,(and you don't immediately start working as a specialist, it takes also time, so logically the age gap is perfectly normal)

If you are looking for an easy romantic comedy, I totally recommend it.

You'll enjoy and won't regret watching it

"Koi wa..." Es un drama que se ha convertido muy popular últimamente (principalmente por Satoh Takeru), así que me dio curiosidad ver el drama y comprobar si en verdad es tan bueno como muchas dicen.

La historia no tiene nada de novedoso, prácticamente es una niña que se enamora de un médico y en un principio parece ser su único motivo para ser enfermera, cosa que me pareció patético, a su vez, algunas cosas que ella decía y sus acciones me daban pena ajena, entiendo que por el cliché puede lllegar a ser estúpida, pero a veces se pasaba. Sin embargo, ya que también es un drama médico abarca varios casos dentro del hospital, los cuales me parecieron fáciles de entender e incluso hasta conmovedores, que diría que es uno de los puntos fuertes de la historia. Por otra parte, casi todos los personajes secundarias y odié que no tuvieran demasiadas escenas para ver como iban esas relaciones por enfocarse demasiado en la pareja principal, sobretodo me hubiera gustado ver un poco más de la relación de Sakai y Kisugi.


¡El cast es como una bocanada de aire fresco! Me encantó la elección de actores y actrices de este drama, que por un lado puede ser una especie de trampolín para que crezcan mucho más algunos de actores jóvenes (como el actor de Kishi y la misma actriz de Sakura), otros ya consolidados (como Satoh Takeru) y otros que tenían un poco olvidados y regresaron con fuerza (en este caso principalmente me refiero a Karina!!!, qué gusto me dio verla aquí después de todo lo que tuvo que pasar!!).


Del OST no tengo mucho que decir, "I love" de Official Hige Dandism era como la cereza del pastel cada que terminaba el capítulo, el resto de las melodías también eran perfectas para cada ocasión.


Como comentario final, este drama cumple perfectamente con su cometido, que es entretener a de una forma ligera aunque de forma cliché. Siento que es de esos que cuando alguien que quiere entrar en el mundillo de los Jdramas pregunte: "¿Me pueden recomendar un drama romántico?" Este definitivamente va entrar entre la lista de los dramas clásicos de comedia romántica junto con Hana Yori Dango e Itazura na Kiss, por ejemplo. Creo que el público que más va a disfrutar este drama es sin duda el femenino por las escenas h0t de Satoh Takeru, principalmente las niñas menores de 20. Para alguien como yo que ya ha visto mucho y de todo tipo de romcoms, este no me sorpendió nada pero tampoco me desagradó, por eso tiene una calificación "regular" de mi parte.

A light romance drama that's not boring to watch

Well well well, a story about a relationship between a doctor and a nurse is a mainstream one. We all know that. But, the vibe, the light romance, and the one-of-a-kind japanese comedy that this drama has become their different-from-the-other dramas points. I mean a lot of medical-related dramas always have a heavy problem, but not with this drama, it's fun and exciting to watch. Not to mention the casts's acting ability, like DAMNNN the crying scene of Sato Takeru still gives me goosebumps, it makes me cried really hard with him. Oh, I also really love how this drama is so focused on the main couple's relationship development so that we know what exactly is happening and not missing anything. Loved it.

That I was going to watch this drama, I had no doubts.
I need no excuse do watch Sato Takeru anyway…
Love last Forever or Koi wa Tsuzuku yo Doko Made mo is about a Girl who falls in love with a man, 5 years ago. And she knows he is a doctor and where he works. So for the next 5 years she studies to become a nurse and work in the same hospital. When she achieves this, she discover he is not the gentle guy she remembers but the Devil Doctor.
Well, it is a fun drama to watch, for sure. It does not have a lot ups and downs on emotional rollercoaster, bit it tries and it is where it fails. I felt like Love last Forever got all the drama cliches and put it all together making this drama fells tiring at times. They made a big deals of unnecessary things and trying to add drama when there was no necessite. And even if the drama is still fun to watch, it is perfect to marathon in a weekend it fails to be good. I think if they only choose one factor and focused in it, this drama would have been a lot better.
About the acting on this drama, Takeru did a great job portraying Tendo-sensei, but that is it, everybody else was just square, mainly Kamishiraishi Mone as Nanase, she is cute and all, I think that is what they were going for, but she lacks a little bit of caristma, so in great part of the time, I don’t care much what happens to her, but much of that comes from the inability of Love last Forever created any seizure in the viewers. The rest of the cast is the same.
From this you can see, I started watching because of Takeru, I finished because of Takeru.
One thing I really loved was the soundtrack, I don’t know if it is because I started watching Japanese dramas first and it is nostalgic to listing to someone singing in japanese, or if their soundtrack are really the best because I really got into the music here. The music saved a lot of the drama, let me tell you.
And after all that I said before, will I rewatch this drama… Yeah, it is fun, even with everything else, I had fun watching it and I would watch again...
