Haruka17

Has anyone seen this drama, I've been watching it, and it's funny but not too good on the story line.

http://jdorama.com/drama.947.htm

It's basically about a 22 year old girl, who got a job as a model, unexpetedly. And now she is known as Haruka 17 <--age

I was wondering though, the character named Moriyama who appears in episode 6 and up I think, what's the actors name? He just looks SO FAMILIAR that I want to know...
OH and what happened to the original photographer too, I see him before Moriyama appears, then he's gone....what's up?

They broadcast this comedy recently in L.A... It's funny and enjoyable and Hirayama Aya is cute, but I doubt if I'd watch it a second time.

K.T. really likes it. :)

Spoiler — click to reveal

Simply put, Haruka is a success in her debut movie role, but during the post-premier party the power goes out during her thank you speech...

oooh yah! thanks bmwracer :bonk: now i remember.... yah, that show was kinda crazy.

continuing this series, thanks to BMW for the hardsub'd version. :applaud:

My Review: 7/10

This was a very funny drama and I laughed out loud in every single episode. The scenes where Haruka would imagine herself reenacting TV shows was hilarious! The choices in cast were very good and Hirayama Aya is a very charming girl! I em surprised she doesnft have more fans.

The plot was very predictable and I did get bored from time to time. I found the end anti-climatic. There was a lot of pre-tension in the story, and thenc nothing! The end seemed rushed and just bleh. That being said, overall, I still enjoyed the series. Although itfs not memorable and will leave no lasting effect/impression on me, it was still fun to watch and gave me a good laugh. I look forward to seeing Hirayama in the future.

Yup, it really fell flat for me as well.

Again, total agreement... A somewhat sweet treat, yet not worth revisiting.

for those expecting something, somewhat of a disappointment

but for those who just wanted simple entertainment with some laughs, like me, i thought it was ok, and i didn't really give it a rating, but i agree wynter, maybe a 7/10.

Good review. Again the slapstick episodes IMO diminished the quality of the drama. But I never liked slapstick comedy anyway so who am I to say. It was entertaining the kind for a rainy afternoon if there is nothing else available. :beaten:
