1.	Average Effort for a Rising Star... [Rating: 6/10] She's amazing when it comes to the change in appearance for the actress, but not a solid story. This is one of those Cinderella stories that's cute but lacks the effort of impacting the audience. It is pretty funny so if you want some cute laughs, or look at girls in bikinis...go right ahead.

2.	funny drama [Rating: 8/10] This drama isn't my favorite or anything, but it IS entertaining. There are a lot of spoofs on other entertainment shows and companies, people, dramas, etc which are fun to look for. I started to get bored of it towards the middle of the series because the episodes seemed to run together, almost as if the same things happened every time. But it has shown me that life for idols isn't as easy as it seems it would be. It has definitely got me thinking, even though it seems like a goofy fun drama.

3.	Funny, but Predictable [Rating: 7/10] This was a very funny drama and I laughed out loud in every single episode. The scenes where Haruka would imagine herself reenacting TV shows was hilarious! The choices in cast were very good and Hirayama Aya is a very charming girl! I ‘m surprised she doesn’t have more fans. The plot was very predictable and I did get bored from time to time. I found the end anti-climatic. There was a lot of pre-tension in the story, and then… nothing! The end seemed rushed and just bleh. That being said, overall, I still enjoyed the series. Although it’s not memorable and will leave no lasting effect/impression on me, it was still fun to watch and gave me a good laugh. I look forward to seeing Hirayama in the future.

1.	Comments by Angry Machines [Rating: 7/10] Furuta is the man, he's just hilarious here. I was very happy to see Sugimoto here as well, I like this guy since shota no sushi and his acting is just super! guts role is pretty funny here as the banana-loving monkey looking father. Aya is cute as well, except that I just didn't like her character, very geeky. The bit about out-of-sync japanese-dubbed korean dramas was funny as hell! Seto Saki's bikini made me forget about the rest of the cast!

7.	Comments by yume [Rating: 3/10] An OK plot with bad episodes after another.
8.	Comments by Kirari Ililah [Rating: 6/10] Amazing way the actress can change her image. It's a simple kind of Cinderella story, not too good, but it is funny on some parts...
9.	Comments by xhidex33 [Rating: 7/10] Funny but yeah. Really liked the bits from other dramas.
10.	Comments by Smiley_18 [Rating: 6/10] The main actress was pretty good in this show. Had some really funny parts. But other than that,this story doesn't really have much of a plot. So only watch it if you have time.
11.	Comments by russia [Rating: 7/10] nice story, dumb bit about dumb finepro boss actress is really someone to look out for
12.	Comments by norani [Rating: ?/10] Aya Hirayama .
13.	Comments by AsanoRin [Rating: 7/10] Cute and funny I had a good time watching it.
14.	Comments by TimThein [Rating: 8/10] Lead actress needs to fix her teeth, but she's attractive if she doesn't smile too much.
15.	Comments by Super No. 1 [Rating: 6/10] This is a very predictable story about a girl trying to make it as an actress. The series is very repetitive. She does well in auditions, but is thwarted by the larger, evil talent agency that wants to steal her from her present agency. It repeats that cycle for the first few episodes and gets really tiring. It has a lot of quirky characters and has some very funny moments, but it really doesn't go anywhere and in the end, you aren't really surprised.
16.	Comments by noodlefreak [Rating: ?/10] funny...i guess
17.	Comments by octane [Rating: 6/10] the concept was interesting.. but gets kinda boring after awhile......
18.	Comments by ReDxFred4 [Rating: 8/10] This dramas goes at its furthest to do your best and live up to your full potential!!! Aya mirayame was great in this drama!
19.	Comments by K.T.Tran [Rating: 9/10] This was pretty funny. I liked it. You'll noticed that they used other dramas in this for humor sake. Though some things are a bit predictable, some of the events that happened weren't so it was interesting. Recognized a couple of faces in this drama.

24.	Comments by MrNiceGuy [Rating: 7/10] It's ok! Nothing special!
25.	Comments by Ralbol [Rating: 7/10] Bravo mademoiselle, a la dent pres c'etait parfait... par contre, si on parle du drama, c'est deja un peu plus limite. Une espece de noritaka sur les idol quoi, on rit assez souvent mais ca vole bas. En tout cas, ca se regarde tres bien, si vous avez un peu de temps devant vous et rien a regarder, n'hesitez pas !
26.	Comments by nimadifob [Rating: 8/10] really enjoyed seeing all the hot chicks in this show.

38.	Comments by oldasianguy [Rating: 6/10] I thought that this show would be better..it had all the ingredients to be a hit...underdog plain girl struggles to be a top star,etc....but maybe it didn't develope because the girl really wasn't that ugly to begin with...it didn't convince anyone......
