W no Higeki Episode 1

Lots of potential

I totally agree with Chifunii. This story has been done 1000 times over, but so have most stories. Dramas tend to stick to variations of classic archetypes. My expectations were pretty low before I began watching, but I was pleasantly surprised. The story line was more than decent and the acting was good. I think it has a lot of potential (hence the title, hehe), and I will definitely keep watching.

On a side note: there were many moments that reminded me of Jotei. It's not a rip off or anything, but if you liked Jotei, you may like this.

Off to a good start.

The story's been done, but so far so good. No complaints, and Takei Emi is seriously on the rise as one of the more talented actors of the next generation. This drama basically allows her to showcase her skill--but the plot isn't half bad either! Though hard to tell from just the first episode, I'll stick with it for a while.

Looking forward to the rest of it.
