This looks sorta interesting... Serious drama, no pretty boys... Probably worth watching.

Probably a ratings loser, though.

I found the premiere very educational. Nice first story about Akebono Jidousha.

Cool.

I really like historical dramas or ones that make historical references... Guess that's why I liked Top Sales.

Of course, Natsukawa Yui helped as well.


Wonder if anyone will sub this.
