Overall I have to say that this is one of a good Cinderella drama story, rarely i see this type of plot from Japanese drama. Lin Zhi Ling and Kimu Taku are perfect as a couple, his character "Ren" was a cold- hearted person but turned soft when he is with her (Xiu Mei), her character "Xiu Mei" was naive, understanding, and strong fill in his heart with passion and beauty that he never felt before. Shinohara Ryoko as "Maemi" is a faithful friend.
However the ending turned out unexpected which I don't prefer. At the end it's like Takuya being forced to end up with Ryoko since she is Japanese and was with him for a long time already, while actually Takuya chemistry with Lin Zhi Ling is so strong. This is why i think they make this drama short since viewers not really into this type of slow romance and wrong couple ending, compared to South Korean drama whom main couple always shown lot of scenes together and survive the whole problems and end up together happily.
The director and the script writer, mainly the producer looked stupid for the ending and minimize romance between 2 nations while actually that's what is the public want most, we know Takuya Kimura and Lin Zhi Ling have international fan base all over Asia not just in Japan.
Good plot drama with disappointing ending (wrong couple).
