I'm not an expert, but I understood it that way too. I found another meaning for ならぬ。It's "must not do". Maybe it would make more sense this way? I haven't watched the first ep yet. Just wanted to see if I could help in any way.

Though it's been recommended already by ryoko11, I will recommend again with my life, my experience, and my soul, Manhattan Love Story. It has younger man - older woman relationships in it, but explaining the relation between the characters in this drama would take a really long time. So, watch Manh...

@klon22: thanks for the link! and i was looking for that particular season too!

try "shiroi haru" too. its got its own touching moments. if you really need to shed tears, then 1 litre of tears will squeeze them out of you.

This isn't similar to what you've posted, but it's good anyway. Liar Game.

You could also try Meitantei no Okite. It's really funny, but it's still airing, so not all episodes are available yet. If you watch raw though, then watch it now. :)
