First of all, this drama was made in 1998. I am shocked I could watch a decent resolution of it considering it was from 1998.

Overall, I liked this drama. Very compelling and interesting story. It made me think and challenged the decisions I would have made (differently) in many situations. I thought it did a good job of portraying the impulsive emotional state of a teenager (and in this case stupid: prostitution for a concert ticket.) [This is not a spoiler since it is described in the drama description. } As an adult, she drove me crazy, but it was realistic in many cases. I did think, though, that there were often times in this where the sharing of he illness by her was overly dramatic and unrealistic....and thoughtless. It seems like the storyteller was on a soapbox and not in the shoes of a 17-year old at times....not to the jeopardy of the overall story though. What was surprising was how the male lead bent toward her judgement countless times in situations where the average person would not. It was interesting to watch and anxiety-provoking as well. They are both very lucky how anumber of their decisions resulted.

I am not familiar with the male lead, Kaneshiro Takeshi, as an actor but will seek out more of his work. He makes movies now more than dramas...the last drama he made (at least listed here on MDL) is in 2002. But he has made movies almost every year, his last being This is Not What I Expected... and has one coming out in 2018: Day of the Beast.

This drama is tagged as a Tragedy, which is franky expected, but it is still a decent ending, so don't let that prevent you from watching. Finally, the music rating....i don't even remember the music so I couldn't rate it one way or another so I gave a 5.
