Pacing is fast and furious w/ tons of jokes and gags; I guess with the setup now out of the way the director has more freedom do do what he wanted w/ the show. First time I've watched Kitagawa in a drama; imo fans should be very happy w/ her performance here.
BTW this is from the same director/producer of 'Erai Tokoro ni Totsuide Shimatta!' (those familiar should recognize a familar character here :victory: ). I always thought that show could have been so much better if given a more decent script to work with. It will probably be true here as well so hopefully the script will hold up much better this time.
EDIT: I also like the BGM, particular a piece which resembles euro-trance/techno occasionally mixed in with orchestral strings. I'll definitely be checking out the OST when it's available.
Sounds great, thanks for the reviews! I will check it out as well then.
just saw episode 1 thanx to the timelessub release... fark kitagawa keiko is soooo kawaii >_<... and the episode was pretty funny... looking forward to the next release from timelessub ;)
haha! i finished until epi2 and it's so funny! haha!!! but i wonder if the story will carry on the same way. hope there's a twist in the middle!!! :D
Spoiler — click to reveal in epi 1, the part where the female lead stop jus in time before the 2 bicycles crashed is soooo funny! haha! her "safe" was cute! haha!!
wow! the story sounds interesting! i think i'll add this with my drama list..but i have to wait for it to finish before watching it.. or maybe i'll watch the first episode like what i did with galileo and yukan club. the torrents are now available ne?? :dancing: what song did erika sang?? is it the destination knowhere??
After watching the first episode my first impression was - I'm impressed (no pun intended).
I have not watched any of Kitagawa Keiko's previous work, and was given to understand she was another kawai gravure model turned actress. It she was it's that much more impressive.
Her portrait of the kind-hearted-not-all-that-bright Momoko was spot on. Her daily routine, including the neguse (bed-hair) and slightly out-of-fashion street clothes made her role that bit more convincing. Twenty minutes into the first episode and I found myself comparing her with Juri-sama - and I can't give higher praise to an actress than this.
Episode is now sitting in my hard disk and I'll definitely find the time to watch this tomorrow.
