Yea, I'm sure office romances are used a lot in Japanese dramas, and I'm pretty sure there are better ones. Still like this one though, maybe because the story's feels more realstic/personal to recent experiences.
As for for telling people I know like that to wake up, that's exactly what I do. Wake up move on, yada yada. That's the job of the friend that's not directly involved, watching from a 3rd person point of view. But hey, for those people directly involved, it's a different matter. It's easy to say "you're being stupid" when you're sitting in the audience. People get crazy when they're in love, there's no logic involved. So I don't think Nao's feelings were ridiculous, just very true to life.

that's cool...well any subjective frame of reference that one brings with them when watching a performance will act as a len that will focus certian aspects of the narrative. nonetheless...as somebody mentioned already a certain chemistry between actors obviates reliance on certain contrivances but i don't think there was much chemistry here...even b/n tsuyoshi and hirosue, especially compared to summer snow....a drama which won multiple awards including best actress for hirosue....

the only way for me to like the ending, was Toji to end up with NO ONE! He totally dont deserve either girl. He took forever to make up his mind and he totally treated both girls like crap.
Id also wanna give Chitose a kick in the butt the way he treated Hiroe. He was making such a huge deal that she was 10yrs younger then him. Who cares if you're in love.
i have no clue why Nao or Makoto wanted Toji, he has no looks and no personality at all!!
