Finished this two days ago, finally got around to reviewing it =D
Story
Glass blower, Tasuku, has never been in love… until he encounters Monami, a woman with no memory. En route to Yamagata Prefecture in northern Japan in hopes of seeing winter blooming cherry blossoms, called keio-zakura, Monami had met with an accident. She can’t recall why she has come, nor that she has a husband and child waiting for her in Tokyo. Nevertheless, love blooms between Tasuku and Monami. But is it destined to be as fleeting as the ephemeral winter blossoms?

Review
Another one I'm over a year late to o_O xD SUMIMASEN! Anyways onto the review...
HOMG Such a good dorama! I don't think I've EVER been this bitchy about a doramas characters before (it was like on the scale of the first time I say Kokuhaku (Confessions) haha xD) So here we go...
Love the set up of the beginning and the first episode and such ^_^ You are immediatly able to like or dislike the characters, so easy to get into the motion of the dorama and it's so cute!
Did I cry? YES! haha xDD So it must have been good! xD
One of my favourite moments of the dorama is when they are lip speaking/signing to each other, OMG SO CUTE! xD
I liked how it was an older more matture type of dorama, a nice change to my teen comedy or teen romantic or school doramas I normally watch >< and a nice change to those Crime/Policeramas that I'm starting to see A LOT of xD << And I REALLY hate western crime/police stuff (CSI, NCSI, Law and Order etc.) so I think I'm becoming a Japanese version of my mother o_O << she LOVES the crime/police things that are aired over here in the west o_O haha I also like the theme song for this dorama too but FAR to sad for me to have ><
Onto the actors and characters...
Overall I really enjoyed this dorama and it was heartwarming even when it was sad ^_^

Onto the actors and characters...
Kusanagi Tsuyoshi - I was very excited to see him act because A. He's in SMAP and B. I've never seen him act before. His character was SO adorable! I just wanted to wrap him up and cuddle him! His famous like 'Dai jyou bu desu' really did have a positive effect not only on who he was saying it to (Monami-san) but also on me! So pure hearted and my heart broke for him and stuffs. I think he was my favourite character =D
Imai Miki - I remember someone saying that even though there's like a 10 year difference between them or something, they still look great together... I could not agree me! Their chemistry was amazing and their characters looked so good together! These two broke my heart several times! You know they are suppose to be together and it kills you to see what they go through. You think 'there's an easy way out of all this mess' but they don't do it because SO much is a stake! She was a good character ^_^
Sato Takeru - Sato, Sato, Sato. You already know I love you and you know I only watched this because YOU were in it! You are still a main reason for me to rewatch it again but not the only reason - gomen! xD His character was great. Nice to see him get an older, different character ^_^ Just wish his character wasn't with her -__-
Kato Rosa - Ahhh we meet again Kato Rosa... First Nakayama NOW Sato? You have never going for those quite younger than yourself ne? But having said that... You haven't aged past like 16! So it's okay... except those few moments in this dorama I COULD'VE killed you for! SATO IS MINE! I liked her character, always positive and a great counter part to Sato's character =]
Yamazaki Shigenori - He was such a cutie playing Jirou in this xD and SO doesn't look his age! xD He was in Ikemen also?! o_O I must look out for him next time! xD
Takashima Masanobu - Holy crap THIS guy can act! I have never been so emotional over an actor before! He was constantly changing my feelings about Koichi! WOW in the end I loved the character because he was so mysterious, so outrageous and SO annoying! He was a brilliantly flawed character with a complex >< Truelly an amazing character AND actor... Holy crap.... he's MANAGER IN IKEMEN DESU NE!! No WONDER he looked familiar! He was amazing in that too! I kinda want him to be my daddy? Daddy number 23 << a number I like! xD
Marisako Eri - She did good playing the average horrible but then finds out the truth and because all 'love love' again character.
Overall I really enjoyed this dorama and it was heartwarming even when it was sad ^_^

Ahhhh the heartbreak as they are apart once more =[
HA! Told you she was with him! xD mwahaha xD
Why doesn't she just text him and be like 'Yo dick. Got a tumor and you didn't give me the time to tell you something so important. Well done douche bag.'
What a douche bag. I think she should've told him, Maybe he'd care for once and then she can leave him and hurt him!
I fewl sorry for the kid the most. She got NO idea just have fucked up her family is! It'll ruin her for life if she finds out so late on!
Rei-san is such a bitch, always twisting the story and the words! -__-
And her fucking husband! I can't decide if he loves her or not; he's got a lover yet he's pissed his wife could be cheating on him?! What the actual fuck?! WHY DOESN'T SHE JUST LEAVE THEM AND TELL HER DAUGHTER THE TRUTH IN A LETTER?!
I love him as an actor and when he plays the good guy he's SO lovable! But he's such a bastard in this! I actually wanna kick his face in, especially when he has that FAKE smile -__-

Don't apologize to his motheR! Just tell her to fuck off!
Oooo her is the adolscent child... she's your mom! You don't talk to her like that! -__-
Way to go Takeru! 'We may be dimwitted but atleast we're not miserable like you' xP
What the total fuck Koichi-san? You say the woman you're having an affair with means nothing to you yet you're with her behing Monami's back, tried to strangle her, get her to manipulate Monami AND yet you STILL want Monami as your wife and want her back?! Who you wanna be with dude? SERIOUSLY?!

Well having said that, the theme tune is called "Aishiteru itte iekunatta" which is like "I never said I love you" so tells me he won't say it ='[
How FAR is Yamagata from Tokyo? They seem so close yet the seasons are like completely different! xD

Takeru always looks so beautiful doesn't he ^_^
Such a pretty sunset <3 it's not lonely it's warming looking, making you feel safe.
HOLY FACK SHE STABBED HIM!!
OH?! Never heard of it!
Obaa chan's acting there was hilarious when she was having a mental break down over Koichi xD Sorry but it was!
I knew Takeru would be the OH, you could just see it coming! xD
Wait... FINALE?!
I thought there were 10 eps!
HOLY FACK! Takeru and Koichi are brothers!!!!! That's my guess xD
Koichi actually looks seriously attractive in that bed there. His eyes are normal and cute and his face doesn't look annoyed ^_^
He hugged her! That's a great start! <3
KOICHI SAN! HOLD HER HAND ATLEAST ONCE!!!! <333 *cries*
Koichi san finally looks human...
Why do they always do that in doramas?! Have like a sip of coffee, have a small talk and leave! Leaving it all! Seriously... I'd finish! Haha
He finally told her *cries* but he was too late!!!! ='[ </3
NOOOOOO TAKERU WHY?!??!?! NOOOO!!!!! NOOOOO!!! Only thing that would make it worse would be them k--- O phew they didn't ><
Maybe ebcause you're a crazy bitch Rei, that's why you have nothing!
See we all reckon he's gone to kill himself, but I bet he's at the Sakura tree...
I told you he'd be at the tree! xD
Crying SO hard right now! Such a beautiful ending!
"Tasuku san he
