I was really surprised with this drama. To tell the truth I've always considered A Million Stars Falling from the Sky one of the most underestimated jdramas, as to me it seems have a wonderful dark atmosphere, elegant aesthetics, more complicated plot and characters. However the drama doesn't have neither half of the popularity like all these superficial school dramas like Hana Yori Dango or at least like Pride (in my opinion so famous because of amazing chemistry and Kimura's acting). Unfortunately, I've seen a lot of dramas of a style of A Million Stars... and I really searched for it. But finally I bumped into Todome No Kiss which has really a huge amount of similarities with my favorite Kimura's drama.
The plot is really amazingly twisted, although the final was banally predictable and the final decision of the main lead dramatic in an absolutely silly way. However, all the atmosphere, the aesthetics, and this type of dark, frustrating, intense, a bit ill love story were so charming that you can forgive all the defects of the drama. Also the acting was really convincing and the second male lead (Takauji's character) undoubtedly catching the eye (well we don't find here so outstanding actors like Kimura Takuya but the main actors do an undoubtedly good job). So I highly recommend this drama ;)
