Did you not like her performance in Last Friends?

I did.

A lot.

But the mediocrity of the entire drama blunted her performance, unfortunately.

She stole bento boxes in both roles.

I'm still a newbie with Juri-chan's works, but up with what i've seen, I'd have a hard time saying I had a favorite. I think it's because of how much she puts into each role she's done, regardless of how small, sideline, or quirky it was. Every role I've watched, regardless of how I felt about the series or movie, I've seen a new side to her acting that impressed me. I feel sorry for many of the leads in the dramas she's done. They absolutely have to be at the top of their game, or she will literally steal the show from them no matter how much the script marginalizes her character.

I agree.. I don't have a specific favorite roll for Juri.. I like 'em all, so far

Though her role in Orange Days was so minor and I don't know if it really captured the things I like about them as much as the others.

You could see flashes of that enthusiasm and energy... It was still a joy to see her at the beginning...

I liked her role in Orange Days.. Short, but sweet.. Had glimpses of Nodame mannerisms in it..
