Fan reviews: Attention Please

cksupes · 3 Jun 2012

The main theme of this dorama is simple but Ueyo makes it worth to be seen. Good performance and lots of fun.

Ueto Aya is totally cute in this (so is Aibu Saki! \o/) and Maya Miki does a very nice job portraying the instructor; too bad the two special episodes weren't that good (honestly, I found them quite bad)...anyway, it's definetely worth watching, imho...^__-

I watched it Attention please when I was going to become a stewardess. It's good for that but the acting was horrible to me. I even watched the SP just to know more about flying as a stewardess but for anything else, this series and movie was DRY!

Ueto Aya grows on you in this drama and so does the series! Nothing too special here but it's watchable and light hearted with some tender moments. If you're a Ueto Aya fan than you will like this drama.

i am not really into Japanese or Korean or Asian dramas/movies/series/anime before. So when my classmate invited me to watch this Japanese series, "Attention Please", I was at first hesitant to do so. But after the first series, I instantly became hooked to it and I even slept late (around 4am the next day) just to finish it till the end. I even searched for the 2 special episodes (Honolulu and Sydney). I super duper love it to the highest level!!!! However, the others are correct that Misaki's role was much more appreciated because of the Supporting Actors/Actresses like Mikami Tamaki (Maya Miki). I love the acting and the character of Mikami more than Misaki's.

I don't think this is the best show ever, not even close, but I don't hate it either I thought it was quite funny and enjoyable

Aya is so cute in this and that is probably why I rated it a 9. It is not a terrible serious drama or a great drama but I enjoyed it from start to finish and really cheered on Aya as she developed her skills.

I think this drama has something for everyone, it has comedy.. serious moments.. great life lessons that are not necessarily only regarding pilots and stew.. um I mean.. cabin attendants.. :) but lessons that you can apply in every aspect of life. My favorite character was instructor Mikami, I think she basically stole the attention.. :) simply amazing, her firmness, and the way she portrayed the character was the best ILve seen from her, but all the other characters were also full of energy, really and amazing dorama, and thereLs the plus that between all the jokes and things... youLll get to learn about planes, and the importance of the job done by all the crews, I think this might be a little bit better than good luck :) EXTREMELY recommended!

I loved Aya Ueto in this. It's a fairly simple drama but it holds your interest in each episode. I would call it more fun than good though.

Its worth watching if you have nothing else to do, and all of the specials are pretty funny. Also the specials seem to never end seeming like this drama continues forever


check out my dramas if you are interested in finding out which dramas are good, cause boy do i watch alot

Very cute drama! It really shows you how tough it is to be a flight attendant.

jdoramadotcom · 30 Jul 2008

This is by-the-numbers comedy-drama with Ueto as a former rocker who wants to become an airline stewardess, because they look hot in a uniform. Ueto tries way too hard to look upbeat and cute, and the results are sometimes counter-productive. Only a few scenes are truly funny, or moving.

On the other hand, two others make it worthwhile. Miki Maya is amazingly effective as the "evil witch" who has to train uncooperative Ueto, and Aibu Saki is effective as the fellow tranee who puts up with her antics. It's almost a commercial for JAL at times, but mostly stays on track.

really liked this drama. would've given it a 10 but the ending wasnt enough for me =/ hopefully the second special will have the happy ending im looking for =]

Like someone mentioned before me, this is definitely no Good Luck. Aya Ueto is pretty but this show shows that looking good isn't all it takes. Her attempts at being a 'rebel' comes off as bratty and overacted. Her attempts at being funny and genki is just annoying and also overdone.

This show is suitable for tween girls (you know, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen straight-to-video type of lameness). I realize that many dramas aren't meant to be taken that seriously, but the 'manga'-comicness of this drama is just distracting and makes it even less funny. Aya Ueto doesn't pull off slapstick comedy well at all.

Although, I thought that the training classes were quite interesting and seemed pretty realistic. It was fun to see the different things they had to train for and it did make me rethink exactly what it takes to be a flight attendant. Must be hard work to always be smiling and pleasant to customers for such long periods of time. Also, on a superficial note, Aya Ueto is really pretty and Nishikido Ryo is handsome in a brooding way.

The only reason I tried to finish this drama was because I'd spent money buying it on eBay. Save yourself time and money and brain-cells by watching Good Luck (with Takuya Kimura) instead, funnier (in a subtler and smarter way) and has MUCH more heart.

Great drama.... The class looks tough!!!
Makes me a lil nervous after being accepted as a cabin crew...

Limes · 25 Sep 2007

I have never watched Ueto in action, and after this drama, I swear I will never again watch any of her dramas. Her over-acting is unfunny and any attempt to be cute/funny/punk is just ridiculous and annoying. The first few episodes had little to show except to portray Ueto as the most annoying git ever, and the ending was predictable. The only thing that saved it - and made me gave it a 4 - was Maya Miki's impressive acting, and the strength of the rest of the supporting cast who overall did an excellent job (except Nishikido Ryo who looked stoned the whole time).

This formulaic, cliche-ridden drama featuring Ueto Aya at her most annoying has no more brain and artistic value than the JAL recruitment infomercial it actually is.

I love Ueto Aya! I think she's really cute so I'm always trying to catch her dramas. For the most part, she's kind of the Jessica Alba type where she's only there because of her looks. But that all changed with Attention Please. Ueto-kun was absolutely hilarious and entertaining. She was extremely charming and timed everything right. I wish she could act this well in all her roles. This drama had its random moments but all the episodes were definitely no fillers. There was always the natural progression. The ending was good too! I'm glad she and Nishikido didn't get together. They didn't have to. No need to force things. The supporting cast was also well put together.

I give it a 10! If you watch only one Ueto Aya drama, make it this one.

p.s. I love Kimura Kaela and she had a great cameo. Plenty of cute girls.

Having watched the last two Ueto Aya dramas, I@‚ƒ‚‚‚…@‚‰‚Ž‚”‚@‚`‚”‚”‚…‚Ž‚”‚‰‚‚Ž@‚o‚Œ‚…‚‚“‚…@‚…‚˜‚‚…‚ƒ‚”‚‰‚Ž‚‡@‚‚‚’‚…@‚‚†@‚”‚ˆ‚…@‚“‚‚‚…. Although they did adhere to the same formula that made the tennis and volleyball drama successful, there was more of an adult appeal to it. Sure, you can mature from competition in sports, but there's only so much you can learn on the court, but being a flight attendant (a real job in the real world), now that's something completely different. This time Aya isn't just someone that is supremely gifted in a sport and needed the guidance of her coaches and people around her to realize her full potential. This time it's about growing up and accepting the responsibities of being an adult. Kudos to the script writers for making flight attendants seem like such a respectable job, and not just waitresses in an airplane. Of course, all this just makes JAL look all the better. This is a lightbeat, funny, but educational drama, and again, character development really developed most of the characters, and everything tied in nicely. It was better than expected!

Very funny dorama! Aya Ueto did a great performance in this dorama
