Review:i have to say this drama has one of the strongest cast ever seen, with very good performances by both Sorimachi and Ensumi. The average ratings of this show was the highest in that season. The storyline
is good, however the ending ....... Somehow, i find this show relatively similar to Long Vacation...i wonder if this is because its the same scriptwriter for both the dramas..hmmmm....Overall, very good drama!

Preview:The setting of this whole show is in a hospital,with Nanako as an intern doctor while his upperstudy is Eguchi, who is the A&E best doctor/surgeon.  This show is actually like E.R (if you have seen it before),the exception that this hospital has bungling and  scheming doctors. The plot revolves around Eguchi who has to stay in the hospital 24 a day because his wife is in a coma in the ICU in the same hospital and he wants to be by her side. Along the way, many cases involving A&Eshow up. Thru these cases, Nanako begin to learn of being a true doctor and its qualities.What will happen to Eguchi's wife? Watch it and find out!

Review:In the beginning , i have quite a negative image of this drama, since i am really bored of watching E.R stuff. However, the show is really captivating! After watching it, i was saying wow! i must say i really like Eguchi a lot better after watching the show. The drama is really touching and the roles of the A&E dooctors are really well protrayed here. If you are a big fan of Nanako, watch this before this coming season's Majo No Joken or A Witch Condition, which is sure to be another winner. Overall, good drama.

Review:Kyoko Furada, together with his kid brother became orphans after their parents were killed in a
car accident. Unfortunately for both of them, their relatives are very reluctant to take them in but finally agreed. They were then seperated into 2 relatives with Kyoko staying with his Aunt, who owns a hotel. However instead of taking care of ther, her Aunt and Uncle began mistreating her, forcing her to work in the hotel as a waitress/cleaner. Life is hard for her and she seeks solace in that of fetching her brother to live with her once she earns enough. There is also a chinese foreign worker in the hotel, whom is Kyoko only friend in the so call "House of the Devil". Watch as how she withstands the illtreating to become a more determined and stronger person.
