Excellent... How's the drama so far or are you waiting until completion?


I'm gonna wait until it's finished, I think. If I can resist the temptation Wink

Just got done watching the first episode, and I didn't like what I saw. Of course, it's the first episode and I really shouldn't be expecting much, but the episode just flatlined. I think they dragged out the parent-teacher meeting, with a resolution that just seemed strange to me, if it was a resolution at all. I'll give it a couple of more episodes.

Episode 3 is up at d-addicts. If the subber keeps up his rate of producing subs, they should be out fairly soon too Victory! Peace!

Wow, if the first two episodes are any indication, none of the teachers or administrators have any backbone whatsoever, and some parents can be really unreasonable. Getting annoying honestly, and if I'm going to keep seeing similar characteristics I'm going to tune out quickly.

Yow, sounds like the story is overly exaggerated... And melodramatic. Sweat

Exaggerated, perhaps, but no way is it melodramatic. It's just that the first two episodes have the same theme going: a nervous teacher and/administrator with seemingly no backbone who have to confront a parent whose demands are unreasonable. There is a bit on conflict with Ryoko's character and one of her co-workers, but nothing coming out of that just yet. I just hope that there's a more interesting case to tackle, not just some whiny parent who's mad because their kid isn't getting enough attention or something. I wouldn't that to be the running theme going for the rest of the show, and hope that it's merely a build-up towards better things.

This one, not surprisingly, turned out to be a disappointment.

In order for a dorama to be a success... it needs at least a little bit of beauty and talent. Doh!

Are you blind? Shake Head Yonekura Ryoko certainly exceeds your successful dorama requirement.

Don't bother wasting your time with him: just look at his avatar and signature.

The sig really does need to be updated... doesn't it? Both Sayumi and Koharu had a birthday this week.

However... Monster Parent still doesn't have any good looking or talented ladies in it. Sad

Is that AKB48/Perfume/Morning Musume? So many idol little girl groups nowadays. I try not to judge members on their sigs or avatars but some members do get a bit overboard. All I can say is that Ryoko does have the talent and definitely has the looks.

That's what I'm worried about, and if three episodes in nothing has changed I'll probably just wait until the series is over. By then I can read some reviews on it to get a better idea of the rest of the series and decide whether or not to download it.

Agree in a different context

I guess you're the one who prefer doramas with beauty and no talent..

Just watched the third episode and I'm about ready to give up on the series. This episode had the same theme going once again, which was really, really annoying, and there wasn't much of a resolution either. There was a little spark where I thought the drama would get better, but it fell back into its running theme. It's pretty much just a "case of the week" type of show so far, with very little character development.
