O Amor Dura Para Sempre (2020)

I started this drama without expecting much, of course at first the female lead actively chasing after the male lead was really embarrassing to watch up till the point that I understood that it was from deep admiration of his commitment and dedication to his job to saving lives as a doctor. The male lead being very cold at first was disheartening to watch until he gradually began to melt and like his unrelenting nurse Female lead who proved that she only had eyes for him and no other man whether he was good or bad until he felt unworthy of her love and devotion .
I liked that at the end he was also concerned about her career growth and development above his feelings, this made me really like his character plus he was hella building that chemistry with his girl once he fell for her.
There wasn’t any crazy love triangle or family intrusion in this drama . Just simple and straightforward 10 episodes of them growing to fall deeper in love .
As basic as the story line was, I would watch it again and again because it brings such good feelings.

To be honest, I need to say that overall I enjoyed watching this, but it wasn't the best drama I've ever seen. Cliche romance with cliche tropes, but I think the acting saved this one.

STORY:
- I haven't read the manga, but I felt like I've seen this before. NOTHING NEW. Typical female character that wants to get that one man no matter what.
- This specially felt like "Itazura na Kiss, season 2" remake. Sakura is basically Kotoko 2.0. Even though I love Kotoko, I don't get what Tendo saw in Sakura. She is so pushy, loud and annoying. Also, why did she kept calling him "Sensei" when they are in a relationship? (ONE OF MY BET-PEEVES)
- Second male lead syndome is REAL right here. Kisugi is the ideal man.. JUST WHY? I truly hoped they focused more on Kisugi and Sakai. oh well..
- Nishi and Ryuko's story-line was pointless. Instead, I would have loved to have more development on Kisugi and Sakai's story-line (THEY HAD POTENTIAL COME ON)
_ What I enjoyed the most is the medical stuff. Doctors and nurses were on point and these scenes were really heartwarming.

ACTING:
- Sato Takeru was on point (AM I SURPRISED? NO). My man's smirks just.. wow. Also, as a doctor, he did great as I always expect from him.
- However, Kamishiraishi Mone, idk but I don't think she was the best. She is just so LOUD, but also looks young that it kinda made me uncomfortable seeing her with Sato. I haven't seen any of her other works, but I would love to see more of her because I like her energy.
- The rest of the cast did an amazing job. I specially would love to see more of Maiguma Katsuya's works! He did so well!

P.S. istg this drama has the most amount of kiss scenes I've ever seen in a Japanese dramas! That was nice! JAPAN GET IT.

Superb!
I really love Takeru eversince. He's the reason why I started watching JDramas. And I fell more deeply into him after watching this. For the first time, I've seen him kissed and hugged a girl so many times. I didn't know he can be that sweet, loving and manly. Sides of him we can't see on his other dramas. His gaze really amazes me. How can a person's eyes be so expressive just by looking. I can't take it!
It's been 3 days since Ive finished watching KoiTsudu and I still can't get over TakeMone. I don't think I ever will. Their chemistry is just so great, I almost think they're real. I'm sincerely hoping for more projects to the both of them (to feed my TakeMone ship).
I'm not a fan of medical dramas and I tend to pick Japanese dramas I watch as I'm more into KDramas but this one can be on top of my list. I really love the story, acting, cast and the OST. If ever this drama has a hundred episode, I'll still watch it. That's how good this drama is. I've watched this in one sitting and I'll rewatch this forever.
I'm hoping for season 2 (cross fingers) or a movie version with the same casts just like Rich Man, Poor Woman.
Overall, I'll rate it a hundred star. 10 stars aren't enough for dramas like this. My love for this drama will lasts forever.

This drama was so pure and innocent!

I knew I was going to be down for a vibe similar to S2 of ‘Itazura na Kiss’ and it did not disappoint.
Sakura Nanase is such a cutie. Tries so hard, deserves the world.
Tendo-sensei is the classic cold demeanor male lead (his nickname is literally 'the devil' so I mean) but dammmn is he smooth.

The overall plot is solid. Although, at times plot lines well aren't spaced out well? It’s probably because the director's aware they must cram everything into 10 episodes, but the result of this is that all the major plot developments/plot lines are over and done with so quickly and it leaves the audience wondering what was the point of even going there in the first place.

Another thing, (minor spoiler but I must rant) our couple keeps getting interrupted in either of their apartments by Tendo's sister, you’d think after the first time they’d learn to LOCK the DOOR! And also, didn’t Tendo come over to SAKURA's apartment? Why is his sister barging into Sakura’s apartment??

But apart from that, this drama is a nice easy watch. The best part for me is it helps remind me of the good old days of S2 of Mischievous Kiss, my all time fave. It's hard to not enjoy this drama ♥︎

On paper, "Koi wa Tsuzuku yo Doko Made mo" is not my cup of tea. Cheesy and outright silly with overly caricatured characters, as you would expect from a drama based on a manga. And yet, I absolutely adored this. The cast truly made this drama for me, particularly Sato Takeru. I've been a solid fan of his acting over the years, but he just takes his intensely tsundere character of Tendou-sensei and gives him incredibly beautiful moments of nuance, breaking up his near monotonous stoic image. The plot is quite basic in its flow, and at times, misogynistic, but if you are willing (and perhaps want to) overlook that and just get lost in the romantic banter and guilty pleasure aspects of the drama, it's really enjoyable. This drama's hardly about realism - it's romantic cutesy-ness that will make you giggle if that is your thing. And sometimes, that's all you might want from a drama. :)

SO much wrong with this

I came to this because I just discovered Takeru Satoh - I just watched all the Rouroni Kenshi movies and wanted to see something else he was in. This was one of the few things I could find - and man was this a horrible shift.

Everything about this drama is so wrong - from beginning to end, this drama is what is wrong with Asian rom-coms. That someone thought this was a good story of a ‘romantic’, healthy adult relationship is just a bit disturbing.

While commenters have issue with the age gap - that is not really the problem - its the maturity gap. She has the maturity level of a teenager while the ML has the maturity level of an adult . Not to mention the power dynamic that he is her superior at work. It’s all just so wrong.

Let’s start with the idea that a teenage girl, on her day of graduating from high school, goes to a temple to pray that she finds a good man, stumbles upon a woman with a medical emergency and the dashing, handsome doctor shows up, smiles at her, pats her on the head and whola! - I’m in love! To the point of running off to become a nurse so she “can be near him’ - not because she wants to be a nurse and help people, doesn’t decide to become doctor because she just witnessed him saving the woman - but, no, lets be a nurse so I can stand next to him - wrong!

She then spends 5 years to go to school so she can get a job at his hospital, then shows up and runs around proclaiming her love for this person in the middle of the workplace- to a man who she has only even, met briefly once in her life. She then spends all her time bumbling around, acting like a pre-teen with a crush on an idol. And she never grows out of it. Wrong!

Then there is the whole awkward dating situation - again, the maturity gap happens - he clearly has experience and she clearly has none. She has this very romanticized, teenager mentality of what being in a relationship means and it just doesn’t fit - most of the time she seems terrified - that dear-in-the-headlights, ready to jump out of her skin look on her face and in her demeanor - very subservient, bowing and apologizing all the time - all the while he is calling her an idiot every five minutes. It is just the most unhealthy dynamic and yet the writers/directors and even viewers - all think this is ‘romantic’, it is not.

You never get a real sense of why he likes her and it isn’t event until the second to last episode that he says anything. He spends most of the time ignoring her, glaring at her and generally looking like he is annoyed with her and then one day, just turns around on the street and kisses her - what?!?!

I also do not see, not just one, not two, but three grown men falling in love with her - that this idea of an immature 22 year old, who behaves like teenager is somehow so appealing that men are falling over themselves - is just absurd.

And then there is the older sister of the dead girlfriend who shows up and just happens to look EXACTLY like the dead girlfriend, hasn’t seen the guy since she died and is now ‘in-love’ with him - seriously! I cant even with this stupidity.

Overall - most of the problems come back to this maturity issue. it would be one thing, if through out the show you see her mature and him soften - but that never happens (he does, ever-so-slightly - but not really enough)

Basically, a teenage fanfiction

I usually love Japanese dramas, but this was just so ridiculous, that the longer I watched, the lower I kept rating it. My God.

The FL became a nurse for all the wrong reasons, and remained one for all the wrong reasons, too. I feel so bad for the ML, just imagine someone following you like a puppy at your workplace and proclaiming (unwanted) love for you every chance they get. And then on top of that, every single person you know trying to set you up with the girl you don't want to have anything to do with, including family, friends, colleagues and patients! I'd quit the job on the spot.

But what frustrated me the most was that the FL constantly kept acting like a 15 year old, in everything from the way she interacted with people to the way she acted at her workplace, and even worse, to her ideas of what a romantic relationship looked like; all of it felt so immature! It felt like watching a minor flirt with her boss. It felt like watching a saesang obsess over her idol. It felt like an adaptation of a teenage fanfiction. For 10 episodes straight. Ughhh.

A cliche made right

This drama, to be honest, is so fluffy with cringeworthy moments, but nonetheless, I had a lot of fun watching it. Having watched a lot of intense and suspense-packed dramas recently, I needed something lighthearted and cheesy and Koi Wa Tsuzuku Yo Doko Made Mo was a very pleasant break. The story is very cliche and predictable, but it did have a few heartfelt moments and when a cliche is made right, it can be very fruitful.
I loved the acting and the FL made the show so much more cheerful to watch.
I probably won't rewatch it because of how simple the drama is, but I feel like many people definitely will rewatch it for the exact same reason. The supporting characters could have had a better and stronger storyline which was the only place I was disappointed.
Definitely worth a watch though.

i started this drama after watching a clip on Instagram which showed FL confessed to ML and his response is
*DAREDA OMAEHA*
That part was so fun to watch, i decided i wanted to watch it right away and this became my first ongoing jdrama i usually dont ongoing jdrama cause mostly they are take a long time to translate plus 1 episode per week

.

*DO IT WATCH AND TELL ME IF YOU U FIND MY REVIEW HELPFULL*

I wasn't originally planning on watching this title, but decided to give it a go, and happily watched the entire show. It's a light, fluffy rom-com, with some medical drama thrown in.
The chemistry between the two leads was great, I loved it, and the two leads were likable in their own ways. Sakura was a bit of a cringy ditz sometimes, but not enough to overly irritate me and I liked how eventually she moved away from the goal of simply getting the guy, and invested more into being a nurse.
I think what disappointed me a bit was the side characters and how their own endings were rushed. Little investment saw little payoff.
Plots like meeting families was a rush job, but I find Japanese dramas like this never delve too deep into certain story lines, so I didn't bring my star rating down.
Overall, a quick binge weekend show.

I came across this Japanese drama through a fan-made video in YouTube. I immediately fell in love with the chemistry of the male and female leads, including the story itself. The drama is really similar to another Japanese drama (e.g. Mischievous Kiss); however, there were some parts that were different.

Honestly, I was a bit worried about whether this drama was going to be extremely cheesy. This drama does have some cheesy scenes though, but I didn't mind them too much! It was super cute. Throughout my time watching this drama, I was fan-girling and squealing over every single scene that the leads had together. I was way too addicted with this drama like to the point I was rewatching fan-made videos of them. The acting of both Kamishiraishi Mone and Sato Takeru was amazing in this drama. Overall, this drama was really fun, and I was satisfied with the flow and ending. Would I watch the drama again? Yes, on days when I'm feeling a sweet romance drama.

I have enjoyed this so much that I really felt the necessity of writing a review. First of all, I think this drama is not for everyone. If you like romantic and funny light/simple dramas to disconnect, laugh and have a wonderful time this is definitely for you. Its not the biggest discovery because there is nothing new at all but if you like these kind of dramas, this drama precisely will make you smile and have fun and you will potentially end up loving it!

Story - I really liked the story. Is not a new plot at all, however, I have to admit that I usually really enjoy this kind of simple romantic stories with no weird/complicated plots that sometimes tend to be too much. In fact, I have read the manga and I think this story is much more better (less complicated and more "real"?). I also liked the fact that the writers made an effort to add medical cases and not focusing only in the main leads story. The only thing I may dislike is the story between the ML's sister and the nurse. It felt incomplete/not well wrapped up.

Cast - I am a Sato Takeru fan and in this drama he was amazing. He really brings to life the ML! Even though he plays a poker-face character, I think he managed to transmit the ML feelings, background, reasons he acts in a certain way, etc. very well. The actress playing the FL also did a good job. She portrays the typical cute lovable FL, however, I do think she did well transmitting her nervousness when the ML was close to her. But definitely Sato Takeru's contribution is what made this drama so enjoyable and hello? Those kisses? OMG I didn't expect that at all (-_-) I think I have just felt in love again.

Music - I had dreams with that song, imagine how much I liked the main song in my subconscious. Plus, what the hell, that song really fitted the majority of the situations!

Rewatch value - I have watched this already 2 times (blame the quarantine), so yes, definitely 10/10.
