" Tokyo Love Story " was a pretty realistic view on relationships and life.
As I haven't watched the original drama, I will only focus on the remake. The latter was interesting and frustrating at the same time. The relationships that it presented were not the cliche, overused happy ever after ones, so the actual romance is a bit tragic and sad. The characters are unconventional, unique, broken and imperfect. They make mistakes and some of them, you end up hating them, or sympathizing with them. That's why the drama is a roller coaster of emotions. And yet, the ending actually fitted the story perfectly. In addition, the performances were excellent, which is a key factor for the drama, as the story is character driven.
So, overall, eight out of ten.
