I was lucky enough to stumble onto this drama on the International Channel when it aired - but I'm fairly certain I missed the first two or three episodes.
It is indeed a little slow, but that pace was refreshing after years of short-attention-span American television fare. My only complaint is that the "missed opportunities" for the two principle characters to discover each other's identity was a little contrived and beyond believability - the audience was kept hanging on so long it was like "Figure it out already!!" Still, it kept me glued to the tube and eagerly awaiting the next week's installment.
The near-immediate announcement thereafter, that Japan's FCI network ("With Love"'s producer,) had decided to prohibit further captioning of its programs, was a major blow and an extremely stupid decision in my view. What better way to foster closer ties, better understanding, and what Rush drummer/lyricist Neil Peart once referred to as "cultural cross-pollination" than for a Japanese network to open a window of television drama for English-speaking viewers.
Does anyone have information about where to get the captioned series on DVD? I've seen it on Ebay in VCD format but only with Chinese subtitles.
