Watch for Ryoko-san

7 / 10

Wynter · 2009

Yonekura Ryoko is so lovely in this drama! I watched it mainly it see what outfits she would wear. In the first episode alone she wore 12+ different things! I lost count about half an hour into the episode lol.

The storyline is interesting, but could have been moreso had the writers pulled through. A lot of the episodes were left unresolved, which was frustrating since the incidents with the monster parents is always the focus of the episode. The subplot (with Miura-san) was good, and it was great to see recognizable guest stars drop in.

Overall the drama was fun for me, but mainly because I love Ryoko-san. Would I recommend it to someone who doesn't care much for Ryoko? Prolly not.
