To be honest, I don't like the main character, Aki. I find her personality can be really annoying. She is too innocent and clueless for her own good and sometimes too absorbed in herself. The only thing that keeps me with the drama is the story. There are many plot twists and conflicts in the drama.  Over time, even though Aki is annoying, you find yourself that you want to cheer her up and move forwards (well I still cannot like her at the end though).  There is also a story about idol culture which was not mentioned in the drama summary. It opened my eyes to idol culture in Japan and make me understand about it a little bit. Overall this drama is great to watch.  In the beginning, the drama was slow paced but after around 20-30 eps, it becomes more interesting. There are many famous actor and actress being involved in the project which I don't know at the beginning. I find the acting was pretty good and realistic. In conclusion, this drama has so many appeals from the unique culture and accent from Iwate region, idol culture and a real substance that life does not always work in your favor.
