1. Funny, but it's all Keiko [Rating: 8/10]
Keiko Kitagawa is the cute, absent-minded 21-year old girl setting a course in the world of work - except a mishap demotes her to "mop girl." At a funeral services company. As morbid as it sounds, Kitagawa excels in the comic lead; her wacky grimaces are an unending source of laughs. Sure, the plot device is familiar, and maybe a bit thin, but stay around for the Kitagawa, who has enough charm to fuel the whole serial.

This drama is a one of the few ones that I liked this season. The several episodes at the end were very good. Overall, I see progress in the plot as the episode progressed from week to week. The main character although quite new her acting was quite convincing and moving. I also enjoy the jokes from here and there.

Entertaining conclusion-per-episode series that's packed with funny and touching moments. Kitagawa Keiko does a great job with her first lead role in a dorama, surprising everyone with her comedic flair, hilarious facial expressions and of course, her great chemistry with Tanihara Shosuke. She does however, needs to work more on her unnatural and awkward crying.

Keeping my fingers crossed for a second season, after a rather open ending!

This was really fun to watch. Keiko and Tanihara Shosuke had great chemistry (of the non-romantic kind) and the rest of the regular cast (the employees at the company, Asami Reina) were pretty funny and interesting too. The plot device (stop touching the stuff of the deceased!) gets tiring after a while but the stories are still interesting enough to keep me entertained. I think Keiko has potential for doing comedic roles.

i didn't get passed ep 3. But 3 episodes of that show is enough. It is just plain awful.

Not a must-watch but a funny show. Especially recommended to fans of Keiko who want to see her in a totally different role.

This was actually not that interesting at first except the cute acting done by the main character until around episode 3...maybe because of her unique acting, easy to love.

It's a Japanese version of Tru Calling! I think Tru Calling is way much better. The main character, Momoko is somewhat an airhead.

Not great but not bad either, the plot has been used numerous times; about a girl having chances to go back and change the future. Since every episode is basically the same, it does get a bit repetitive, however, some cases are really touching (episode 9 especially, did bring tears to my eyes). Not all resolutions appeared convincing, some were pretty cheesy and turned out too good to be true. The lead herself, Momoko, did seem irritating due to being too ditzy at first but later became rather adorable. Overall I wouldn't say this is a waste of time, it is rather meaningful, but don't expect too much out of it and you'll definitely enjoy it more for what its worth.

Much better than I expected! Kitagawa very good in her first leading role, but the big surprise was Shosuke Tanihara in a complete change from his usual character. Good supporting cast as well.

Lead girl is new to J-dorama and with the right script, could be fun to watch. Enjoy her goofy personality in this but after few episodes..... stop watching.
