OK, so we're supposed to take the side of a girl who turns to underage prostitution basically on the spur of the moment just to get some concert tickets? We're supposed to take the side of someone who has sex at an age when she is more likely to catch a sex disease (as her vaginal walls haven't fully thickened yet)? We're supposed to take the side of a girl who had unprotected sex with multiple people and infected the very hero of hers whose concert she wanted to see? The entire purpose of gender is reproduction (notice that most of the physical differences between men and women are baby making related), not money and we're to to take her side? In any case I had to give up after watching the whole first episode and part of the second. She has the money for the tickets but then loses it so she turns to prostitution to get the money but after having done that it turns out that somebody had found the money and was giving it back as soon as possible anyway so it was pointless and what do you know, both her and her hero have HIV and as I've gathered from other people she is pregnant. Supposedly there's a not catching AIDS message here (I've got a not catching AIDS message; the best armour is to stay out of the gunfire) but really it just comes across as being sadistic. Another reviewer here said that it was bad of her to keep the baby that it might have HIV as well. There are people out there who want children but can't have them naturally.

this is a real good movie.i had watch over n over again..this movie give me life,letting me holdin on my own dream,letting me realize that miracle will happen in lovelife.the only thing we need to do is to believe in it,like how masaki did.till now,this is still the best movie i had ever watch.it has its meaning..a meaning that will leave an impact in ur life..watch it if u havent..trust me,there will be no regrat.it will change ur life.

I thought the dorama was very good but dragged at some times because there was always the recurring scene of Kyoko Fukada crying over Takeshi Kaneshiro. It has a good soundtrack and one of the greatest theme songs (Luna Sea "I For You" - my favorite band). Unfortunately the dorama lost to GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka) in the 1998 Dorama of the year listings. Definitely worth watching - It's a great love story.

In true 90's jdorama style m, this is heartbreaking, beautiful, funny, and powerful ( with all of the cheesy drama to go along with it) I will always recommend it.

Also best opening song ever!!!

I must admit, I first watched this out of a desire to gaze upon Takeshi Kaneshiro's sculpted loveliness ... but I was unwillingly impressed with, if not the drama itself, at least some of the issues it attempted to tackle. Let me just say that it is definitely a melodrama with a capital OH COME ON! ... but it didn't waste time trying to unnecessarily white-wash the heroine or overly dumb-down the issues it seemed determined to deal with. And let's face it, an HIV positive schoolgirl as the protagonist (who didn't conveniently contract the disease by means of a fated blood-transfusion)in a prime-time Japanese television drama is an edgy pick. Despite the fact that there was not one episode where Masaki wasn't crying, or Keigo wasn't running (or when Masaki didn't utter a weak "Keigo" as her dominant form of conversation) ... it was engaging. And yes ... the need to gaze upon TK's sculpted loveliness was indeed satisfied ... but the brain matter stepped up to bat as well. Not bad. Not bad at all.
