P.S. :
I recommend watching all the other dramas that 'Yamada Ryosuke' has been in.
I think he is a very good actor.
If you may not know, he is also a singer.
Edit:I also recommend a drama called 'Shokojo Seira'
where Shida Mirai plays the role of the main character, 'Seira'.
This drama touches my heart.
If there's any errors in this recommendation, please PM me.
The introduction may be confusing, but atleast watch the drama if you can.
One more thing...
I copied part of the introduction from another website and edited it.
I know, I'm horrible.
It's just that I'm bad at explaining.
