The main character here is a truly nice person who had it in her fate to never really enjoy herself on the personal side. She had to work hard since childhood. Studying was her dream. Then a miracle allows this super kind lady to re-live her younger days with more allowance for having some fun, for falling in love. She still keeps some innocence in the love field as she never actually as much as entered it... And so as this small fairy-tale begins, one wishes her the best.

I liked the cast. The older actress looks gentle and kind and the younger is beautiful with cute smile. The cute guy is not far away, either. He is someone she briefly met when still old, not daring to dream. Now she is allowed to like him. First few episodes I was rather annoyed we still needed to deal with the "magical cat" who allowed Sumire to become young: that turned into a middle aged guy with eye makeup and black nail polish, who stayed in the heroine's house (and her story) which I did not find necessary. But I appreciated it when this character was able to bring more conclusion and then even an explanation why he was portrayed by middle-aged guy:)

See, I found Kiritani Mirei quite a decent actress, actually doing better job than Oikawa Mitsuhiro. I could tell she most probably spent some time with Matsuzaka Keiko and learned her facial expressions.

But what I honestly appreciated most about this drama were the characters. Each character had a meaning in the story and each was portrayed exquisitely including the small roles. Like Akimoto Sayaka, she was perfect and without her the character would not worked this much. The guy portraying the main love interest who got to date our young/old lady also could not been chosen better, his style of behavior could not be more compatible. And what I appreciated the most was the character of the main heroine. She knew GRATITUDE, not just attitude like all them leading ladies:) I really loved her and not just for being pretty, this time.
