1. The worst depiction of a japanese lawyer [Rating: 1/10]
I work at a law firm and am striving to become a lawyer myself.

If you're entertained by some heart-wrenchers, fine. But remember this.

1. Fresh bar-exam passers/lawyers - NEVER touch a case by themselves, they stick with an experience lawyer until he/she says "ok, give him some work".

2. NO ONE becomes a lawyer for justice.

3. If Doumoto Akari (Ueto Aya's character) were truly a lawyer, she would be fired immediately and not hired by any firm for any reason.

Pretty good, I'm probably just biased since Aya Ueto stars in it.

I like the backgroundmusic very much and I love Kitamura Kazuki, he's great in this one (as he is in everything he does). Very interesting story, which often gives to think and although it's a drama focused on seperate episodes, the episodes don't really follow one scheme which is repeated over and over again. Interesting. I really liked it. :3

Enjoyable, Aya is always a treat to watch, hard to believe someone so young can be a lawyer and a top one at that. If you're an Aya fan you'll like it, if not may want to catch Attention Please first.

Love this Aya drama to bits as always but hoping that subbers will continue to sub her dramas in the future.
2. Edson
Watching... It's serious drama but i enjoy it.
3. UetoAyaFanboy
Ueto Aya as the rookie lawyer is irresistible. It's also a good satire of society and the judicial system. It's funny that her boss is playing video games at work...

cos of ueto aya rate 10/10
