Three men and a woman living on the same floor of an upscale condominium just happen to become acquainted with one other. In order to prove the notion that “there is only one destined soul mate for every person” the pair decides to try out a “Love Shuffle”. Eight individuals gather to play by the rule of “swapping” partners every week. Is it love that connects them, or is it simply compatibility? Having opened the “Love Shuffle” Pandora’s box, what will become of their fate?

tamaki + matsuda in the same drama! interesting development mixed in with a little bit of mistery. if it ended with 1 round of shuffling and the characters going back to their orginal pairs, it'd be the worst drama ever. so of course it doesn't end like that. it has at least the best ending i can hope for. hilarious. bursts of ridiculous humor. i had "yeah panda" ringing in my ears for at least a week. the characters are strong and realistic. i thought i'd only be watching for the 3 leads, but i ended up liking almost all of the characters. i'm not so into female celebrities, but this made me looking forward to watch karina and hayakawa in their other works.

I just purchased it because it has Hiroshi Tamaki in it but it turned to be my fave Jdorama EVER.. perhaps because it makes sense and believable.. The cast and plot are amazingly great. Love it A LOT :)

Really good, it's one of my favorite doramas together with last friends, stand up and orange days.
Think it´s the best role Matsuda Shota ever did.
