I don't like it. I read the manga before I watched the drama and find myself disappointed. I understand that you might need to change it a little bit from the original story to make it still interesting but I think the writer change it too much and make the drama loss many many great potentials to be successful. For example is the pairing of Momoe and Arthur. They are my most fav pairing in the story and many many readers really love this pairing compare the main one (Junko and Hoshikawa san) but their depth love story is reduced no erased from the drama. The writer makes them as a side couple and not much story tells about them. Junko character was also more annoying. Junko in the manga is way-way more independent and mature. Yes, she is still lacking but compared in the one in the drama, she has the appeal of a sexy, independent and intelligent woman which attract Hoshikawa to tame her and that is not shown in the drama. In the end, this drama became a typical Japanese drama with lack of substance. It failed to become a memorable Japanese drama. The acting was great. Satomi Ishihara is a great actress with amazing acting skills. Yamashita, on the other hand, did not act really well. I find him not suited to be the character. His acting is too stiff and weird. It's looked forced to me. Maybe the hair though, he looks like idolish than monkish (Hoshikawa in the manga has shaved head too since he is a monk). Both of them has chemistry in certain scenes that I think can be way better. I think all the faults are on the shoulder of the writer and director that the drama became failure to me. I won't watch it a second time and won't recommend it. Please read the manga for a better story (it's more interesting and realistic).
