Thanks to you, Geez.

Else that drama would still be in limbo.

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

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.

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. 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.

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.
