Koi wa Tsuzuku yo Doko Made mo (2020)

An enjoyable drama

This was a one damn good drama, the leads are pretty (which is an important thing Lol), The story plot was smooth with no serious misunderstandings or conflicts, the comedy was good and their acting is on point, I liked how they expressed the definition of doctors and nurses, I liked the teamwork and the cherishment of lives, and a very important point; the number of episodes is just right and the length of each episode isn't long which makes it un boring since I've suffered lately from the extra unnecessary no. of episodes in my dramas, it could've gotten a 9/10 but no because of the dumbness of the FL and the kind of rudeness of the ML (your typical Jdrama) but they had a good growth of character throughout the episodes so it wasn't annoying like other similar themed dramas. in conclusion, it was a delightful enjoyable show.

100% Worth rewatching

This is one of a few dramas that I would rewatch again even If I already finished it not too long ago. If you're into a sweet and fun romantic drama where the ML is a tsundere while the FL is energetic and happy , then this drama is for you!

Not only the chemistry between the main couple is great, but the chemistry with the other characters, especially staffs at the hospital, is also great! It makes the drama even more enjoyable to watch.

// Small spoilers
Nanase is really energetic, bubbly and determined, but doesn't really have a big tendencies of being stupid even if she makes a few mistakes. Kairi definitely look cold and stoic outside, but he can be sweet and affectionate sometimes, even if it looks like he has no emotions, for example when he patted Nanase's head in front of the staffs saying she's his girlfriend in a very chill way(one of my favorite scenes, still fangirls over this part!). It's refreshing actually to see that. In a drama, don't want to see a female or male lead who acts too energetic to the point of commiting multiple stupid acts and a male or female lead who is emotioneless 99% of the time.
The only thing I dislike the most about it is the constant interruption by Ryuko almost everytime Nanase and Kairi kissed. Well it's also Nanase's fault like lock your door girl!
I really like the seond couple Ryuko and Ryusei. They are so cute together. I just hope there's way more moments with this couple. Well, I just wish there's more episodes. //

Overall, I'm really satisfied with the drama, definitely worth rewatching!

So much in love

I'm not a fan on the medical drama I just read all the review and second Takero Satoh my favorite and I like
Kamishiraishi Mone so cute I thought she was 18 or 19. I know the story so common a girl first in love with a handsome rich guy or higher from the status of the girl.
The story quite so cutely I have seen this kind of story what I love it the Lead actors I have seen some dramas of Takero Satoh mostly action its not the typical love story kinda new for me to see Takero Satoh in drama a comedy romance. I have seen The 8-Year Engagement kinda serious. Here it was a new form of drama Takero Satoh mostly more on action one of the reasons I watch it.
At the first episode so much fun that's how I love watching this drama and the phasing of the story so fast that's how I want it and the character of Sakura Nanase so natural, so cute. She was determined to be positive despite Tendo always insult her. Tendo so monster and so serious of his profession as a doctor. Now their angel makes him fall to be in love with this cute Sakura Nanase.
Finally, Tendo is now so sweet and in love with Sakura. I love Tendo even he was afraid to lose Sakura after the accident he still gives freedom to dream Sakura to go study abroad. How do I wish there is a guy like Tendo?
I love the ending so much satisfied with the story. I watch this more than 10 times. I don't have a dull moment in every episode. So much in love with this couple so lovely to watch. I was really hoping they'll end to be a real couple. I'm not just in love with the story but also Takero Satoh and Kamishiraishi Mone team up they're such lovely couples. I was so following them so much hooked of these two so much in love.

The first two episodes could be a bit slow, but it does pick up its pace after that aND BOOM! IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER. And before you know it, you're already held captive of this drama hole.

What makes it addictive in my opinion is the chemistry and acting of Mone and Takeru. I have been following their interviews and behind-the-scenes and they really did a good job with portraying their characters. Most especially Takeru!!! He has done some scenes that are out of the script, which only shows how well he knows his character.

I came in to this drama thinking it'll be similar to Itazura na Kiss. BUT I WAS WRONG! I loved Itazura, but that might have also been influenced by my love for the manga or its taiwanese counterpart. For Koi Wa, on the other hand, introduces a similar setup of a doctor-nurse couple but with a slightly different vibe. Hard to explain but Tendo is a bit nicer and shows more emotions towards his colleagues. I wouldn't really compare this to Itazura because IT IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT (JUST WATCH AND SEE LMAO). Sakura's contagious smile will never fail to make you smile :'') You will see how Sakura is very much deserving of Tendo's love. She has such a bright personality + a good heart too.

Overall, I truly enjoyed this drama. It presents a simple yet addictive story. No unnecessary drama and some conflicts got resolved quite quickly (which i loved!!!). IT NEVER LOST ITS SPARK THROUGHOUT THE 10 EPISODES, which definitely puts it on one of my fave dramas this year, and MY MOST FAVE JDRAMA TO DATE. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

PS. THE OST IS A BOMB TOO

This was the kind of drama I was looking for - light, romantic, a lot of cute moments, no villains, happy ending, I don't care if parts of it were unrealistic, this is a drama and what this type of dramas are all about - feel good.

I liked Kairi throughout this drama - I didn't really find him mean even when he was in his devil mode. Once he figured out his feelings for Nanase he was just sweet and straightforward (in his own way) about it. No being indecisive, no misunderstandings - he is cute when he is jealous.

Nanase was an okay character. I found her clumsiness annoying but she made up of for it on other parts of the story so all good.

In two episodes I was thinking, oh no! Are we going through all that cliche of having a lot triangle and heroic sacrifice - nope all resolved by the end of the episode and it just made me like Kairi more :-)

However, I did find Ryuko and Nishi a very awkward couple. I don't have anything about older female/younger male couples, but they were really awkward to watch, I couldn't get into the feeling of them being a couple. It just didn't click..., maybe it the manga they were? But not in this drama.

Happy feelings after watching - rewatch yes, definitely.....I will be having withdrawal symptoms for a while with this drama.

I know a lot of people who watch Kdrama, Cdrama, Tdrama, and Jdrama, are probably worried that this Japanese series have goldfish pecks on some ep. I know that I am one of them, but fear not! the actor are actually going in on the kisses!! I was bored during quarantining so I went on YT to look at some new drama to watch, and randomly my YT pop up on one of their kisses on my recommendation so I clicked it. Holy Moly! my toes and finger were curling and sweating because it was steamy, as in cute and flirty, but not in an erotic. This was what hooked me in to watch the drama. As a bonus, I'll tell you guys that the actors are actually not one dimensional like almost every Jdrama that is overreacting and exaggerated everything.

Same Old Troupe, Brilliantly Executed

I started this drama not expecting much or, actually expecting it to be somewhat like Itazura Na Kiss, in that the female character (Sakura Nanase) is so in love with the male character (Tendo Kairi) that she would do anything for him and at the same time be completely stupid. Boy was I wrong!!

Story:
The story revolves around Sakura Nanase, who fell in love at first sight with Tendo Kairi and from that point on, decides to dedicate her life to making sure she would meet him again, this time as a nurse in the hospital he works at as a doctor. At first, she appears to be stupid, without any practical knowledge, but this is quickly shown as simple inexperience and nervousness. In this case, Sakura-san is quite an observant and kind nurse, who loves to learn, with the goal to become a good nurse. Even-though, the reason she became a nurse is because of Tendo- sensei she does not live for him and is constantly looking for self-growth.

On the other hand we have Tendo-sensei, who is a brilliant cardiologist, very focused on his work and known throughout the hospital as the Devil due to his exacting and hight standards for patient treatment. In the beginning he is not impressed with Sakura-san, since she openly declares her love upon meeting him and her not being up to par in patient treatment. Most importantly he never mistreats her or makes fun of her to the level of Irie Naoki, which in my book makes him a great human being. Although, he immediately notes her care for the patients is sincere and life-saving several times, as is show in several episodes of the drama, so he starts to slowly respect her as a colleague, which allows for later on his developing feelings for her.

Acting/Cast:
I like the two main actors, and their performance is good for this tv series. I feel that Sato Takeru shines in the serious tsundere type of character, which let it be said also makes it rather easy for the actor, since the character does not show a wide range of emotions. In the case of Kamishiraishi Mone, her character is consistently shiny, kind ad lovable, which also does not allow for a wide range of emotions, but I believe she did a good job of it. The side characters do tend to be a little over the top, but that is something common in all of Japan's romantic-comedies.

Music:
It is a pleasure to hear the track called "I Love..." by Official HIGE DANdism which is spectacular and I can listen to it continuously. The downside is that, this tack is the only one I clearly remember, so that speaks a lot about the variety of the music used and the impact it had on the audience.

Rewatch Value
Definitely rewatchable!! It is cute, it is short, it hits all the right buttons, and every one watching it will love it. What I like about this drama is that, even-though it is a romantic comedy, with some over the top embarrassing moments, the rest of the story far outweighs them and we can clearly see character growth in the leads. It is a simple and fluffy tv series, that will let you relax after watching some heavier stuff.

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.

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
