I LOVED this drama.Now lemme tell you why This drama may seem like a typical love story with the guy falling in love with a girl but it is so MUCH more. This is indeed a love story and one of the best out there.Im officially stalking Erika Keitagawa,the script writer of this drama.Do not drop it thinking that the girl is deaf so it would be filled with lots of tears and angst.It definately has its share of that too but its more about this group of youngsters not knowing their place in the world and actually working towards it by being together and finding out their place and making the friendships in life matter. The depiction of friendship is one of the best.I could feel the care and friendship when the guys stole each others food or when they pulled each others leg because in reality that's what guys do.Tease and play and make fun and still have the bromance going on.The friendship between the girls was heartfelt too.Ozawa Akane learned sign language just becuse she wanted to converse with her friend.How sweet is that.These people will give their lives for each other and that's how strong the friendship is. Sae is not the typical heroine.She's arrogant,moody and full of her own insecurities and issues.Shibasaki Kou is simply amazing as Sae.Without her voice she can still make us feel all her emotions.Her eyes speak and so does her sign language.I never knew one could express so many emotions through sign languge.You can feel her frustration and anger when her hands speak fast and her sadness when they are barely moving.she brought something fresh to my screen and all her dilemna about falling in love with a normal guy seems so real and touching.After she worked through her insecurities and emotions she came out as just another girl with dreams and fantasy of prince charming and not someone physically handicapped but someone just like you or me. Kai is the type of guy we can be friends with and eventually fall in love.The one with whom falling in love is as easy as breathing.He gives a warm feeling and with whom you could talk about anything for hours and still won't get bored.The one who'll piggyback you when your feet hurt and the type of guy who'll fight for your honour even when he knows he'll get beaten up in return :D Its not that he has no flaws but his flaws are so minimal.I LOVE his character and how he doesnt pity Sae for being the way she is but treats her like he would any other girl.Tsumabuki Satoshi as Kai was so cute. The leads romance was filled with light and sweet moments.They had a few tearjerker scenes which brought more emotion to the story.The subplot of Akane and Sano falling in love was interesting too.Sano being a playboy and how Akane actually turns this good for nothing guy who considers himself worthless into someone who can actually learn to love and care was good to watch. What i also liked and could connect with is how none of them knew what they had to do with their lives and how after they came together they solved each question,each problem together and came out victorious.Their dilemna in thinking what career to choose or their stress over not finding a job is so real and so relatable that i saw myself in them with the same aspirations and dreams in life. The music was soothing and beautiful. All addicts know that at some point every drama drags and this did too but only in the later few episodes.Its pretty well made so there aren't much flaws here even when i tried to find some. Romance,friendship and teenage angst in one gifted Package deserves to be watched by all Go and watch it NOW..:P
