Touching [Rating: 10/10]
This is my favourite dorama! I was so drawn to this story I can't help falling in love with Sakaki Kohji. He is deaf but with the most enchanting personality. I love all the sign language scene. And the background. The park,Hiroko's apartment,Just watch it then you can understand me. |

Sad & Touching [Rating: 8/10]
The show is very sad and touching. Takako truly love Etsushi even though he's deaf & mute and even willing to learn sign language just to communicate with him. Truely endless love. |

First rate [Rating: 9/10]
Both of the leads give extraordinary performances in a cast of lightweights, but I really liked it anyway. The only thing I didn't like was the last couple of episodes where Tokiwa goes for being obsessed with Toyokawa san to flying into a blind idiotic rage because she found the ring, and just destroyed their relationship |

One Classic show [Rating: 9/10]
A Classic! This is what Japanese drama is all about. Love story with twists and turns. Great performance from the main actors. Takako was amazing! And this show demonstrated why she is one of the best.

not too bad [Rating: 7/10]
what makes the show worthed watching is Sakaki's performance. He is simple excellent, so cool and has his own style. He is not exactly gorgeous looking but somehow he is attactive, charasmatic. Don't really like Tokiwa in this show, i think she tried too hard to act cute and lively. Her love for Sakaki is quite childish, or her character is childish in the show. I understand the frustration that will come in when you fall in love with a handicap, but you see, we are talking about Jdorama and so we expect "perfect love". Her love for him is shallow as compared to Die Sterntaler/Hoshi no kinka. |

Not As Good As I Thought It Would Be [Rating: 5/10]
I started watching this dorama because I am a big fan of Toyokawa Etsushi. However I found my attenstion drifting off many times throughout this dorama. Like others have said it is very draggy which makes it hard to keep you focused on the story. Also Tokiwa Takako's character is just so annoying always whining about one thing to the next, it makes it hard to believe that Toyokawa Etsushi's character can even like someone like her. I saw watch this dorama for Toyokawa Etsushi's great acting, but I dont think it is a must watch dorama. |

Compare Oranges With Apples [Rating: 9/10]
And I meant that literally, ppl who have watched both Say you Love me & Orange Days would get my drift. I wish I had watched this drama first instead of Orange Days so I would've been more intrigued by this great yet familiar love story.
The insecurity of Tokiwa's character intensifed in each episode made it almost painful to continue at the end which means she did a wonderful job portraying this innocent young lady in love willingly to give her all without calculating any outcome that is now rare at this fast-paced computer age.
Although a heart wrenching love story, I totally love how it ended with a promising beginning instead of a tragedy.
Great Theme Song!!! |
