Synopsis
Oomae Haruko is an A+ Temp worker who never cracks a smile or minces words, and leaves work on the dot. But her cynical nature indicates she has something painful to hide. Satonaka Kensuke has just been promoted to head S&Ffs new Marketing Division. Saddled with a rag-tag group of subordinates, he is struggling to lift his division off the ground. When Oomae is placed in Kensukefs department, she finds herself doing more work than she bargained for.
This is a timely drama that examines the different attitudes toward temp workers and regular employees, and the ways to overcome frictions in interpersonal relationships. This follows an October report on labor conditions by the Labor Ministry, which showed that, after regulations were relaxed, the proportion of regular employees to Temps had doubled compared to that of eight years ago..

Absolutely love it!

Shinohara Ryoko shows her versatility in this drama. It's the complete opposite of her character in Anego. How on earth is can she keep such a straight face doing all those weird and funny exercises?! Nothing great about the plot, its basically one event an episode. Would have liked to know a bit more about her past in the drama though. But its bound to make you smile and laugh. So do check it out as its not your typical ordinary office drama.
SO MUCH FUN!

Haken no Hinkaku is terribly silly, and I enjoyed it VERY much. At first I wasnft sure what to think. I adore Shinohara Ryoko and for the first time I was watching her in a role I had never seen her play before. Usually she plays the charismatic, sexy type. This time she was playing a sweater-clad, anti-social type. She was very fun to watch (like during her abrupt head swings, speaking in her cute announcer voice, and her morning exercises LOL!). I was also seeing Koizumi Koutaro and Kato Ai in roles I had never seen them play before and both did a fab job.
The storyline has many faults, like how Matsukata Hirokifs character shifts from good-guy to bad-guy, and then good-guy again. When he turned into the antagonist, his direction with Omae Haruko sort of got mixed and lost and there was a serious breach in the plot. However, this was quickly rectified and because the drama is so silly, the fault was quickly forgiven.
I recommend this drama to anyone looking for something light and fluffy to watch. A MUST SEE for all Ryoko fans. :)
