Thanks to you, Geez. :victory:

Else that drama would still be in limbo. :shakehead:

Well, I'm halfway through this drama and all I can say is that it's okay... :sweat:

I'm liking Tanihara Shosuke's character more than Kitagawa Keiko's.

Momoko's dorkiness and mugging is a little too much for me: no wonder Otomo-san is always smacking her around.

I think a lot of people like her from her previous roles, as well. Like myself. If she was played by another actress I didn't know, I would feel the same as you.

I haven't seen her in anything else or haven't recognized her... So far, she hasn't really made that much of an impression. :sweat:

I doubt it.

Done with this drama.... I'd give it a rating of 7.5/10.

I never could fully deal with Momoko's (Kitagawa Keiko) whining or pratfalls: it just got tiring over the course of the drama. Her character never ever really comes to terms with her gift... I think the writers dropped the ball here. Tanihara Shosuke's roguish character Otomo was much more enjoyable to watch and made the drama better for it. :victory: Overall, the last two episodes (9 and 10) were the best: they finally tied the story together with the opening episode, something the middle episodes did not do or even attempt.

I think the writers had no choice. They set up the leads as a Manzai comedy duo, and that created a viewer expectation that was hard to go against. People on the Japanese forums kept saying how much they enjoyed the Momoko-Otomo interactions. So Momoko was the boke and the boke she had to be.

The Momoko-Otomo interaction was good, but there didn't seem to be any maturation in Momoko's character: she was a goof from beginning to end: I found it rather difficult at times to root for her. :sweat:

ok i saw the all of the episodes, 1 - 10, and let me say i love it! it's a funny and sweet show, love all of the characters they all have great chemistry. i really hope they do a second season or a special. when someone see the title they know it's a comedy yet there's still some drama which i think add some heart to the show. Momoko is so cute and i love how she's such a goofy ball.

Interesting scenerio, even if it probably a rip of Tru Calling, which was a pretty good show in my book, I hope it doesn't share the same fate of being cancelled.

The drama did finish its ten-episode run... But nothing about a second season.
