Tatta Hitotsu no Koi is a Romeo and Juliet-style romance story set in the port city of Yokohama. Kanzaki Hiroto (played by Kamenashi Kazuya of KAT-TUN) is the poor boy, struggling to support his ailing mother and brother by running a failing ship repair shop he has inherited from his father. One day he meets Tsukioka Nao (played by Ayase Haruka), who is the daughter of a rich jewelry maker. Slowly they fall in love, and the young couple faces multiple obstacles in their relationship, including Tsukioka Nao's family trying to tear them apart.
This drama may not be the worst of the bunch, but it is certainly nowhere near good. It's a typical romance story, the kind that we've all seen millions of times before, and the plot is so predictable it gets annoying waiting for what you know is coming. The acting is not that great, but passable enough for a soap opera. If anything, compared to a lot of dramas where the acting is overblown and overly dramatic, the acting in this drama is the opposite - very low key, lots of soulful looks, etc.
If you're in the mood for a love story like this, it's a good enough way to pass the time. I am oddly partial to the music, and I like some of the side actors (this includes Toda Erika and Hiraoka Yuta). Another member of KAT-TUN, Tanaka Koki, is also in this drama. It's a story in the great tradition of love stories, and like I said, if that's your thing, then you'll probably enjoy it. But don't go into it expecting it to be the most original, wonderfully-acted drama out there.
