Synopsis

Based on the popular comic book saga of the same name created by Suzue Miuchi.

Its central figure is Maya Kitajima, an average high school girl with one remarkable talent--impersonating TV actors and actresses. As is often the case in this kind of story, Maya is "discovered" one day by Chigusa Tsukikage, a well-known actress who retired from the limelight after an accident that left her face terribly disfigured. The ailing actress sees Maya as her successor, who will one day perform the title role in a legendary play called "Kurenai Tennyo" (The Crimson Goddess), to which she owns the production rights. Having decided to pursue acting as a career, Maya leaves her mother and joins Tsukigage's company. The transition does not go smoothly, however, as Maya soon becomes the target of practical jokes at the hands of her jealous colleagues...

Adachi Yumi steals the show as the charming and talented Maya.
The supporting cast is terrific as well in the anime/manga based story of a young actresses trials in her search for perfecting her art.
Very addictive.

She's all that

I LOVE IT! Finally, we can watch the manga comes to drama. Not very much different from the manga version, although some of Maya and Ayumi's play aren't viewed in the dorama version. But i highly recommend it for those of you who are big fans of Garasu No Kamen manga.
