I kinda want to watch it now, to see why it got such a strong reaction XD
Watched the first episode and while I definitively needs to watch more to achieve a clear conclusion I can see that I can see what the OP means. This series seems to be thought with "defending the status quo", an status quo that idealizes putting work ahead of your life and happeniness, to actually make work your life and happiness.
Back in the day I used to complain a lot about how out of tune I'm with jdramas, always asking "is this really how japan and the japanese are, and think?". I still think the same I just complain a bit less these days. One of the causes of this personal anguish is that episodes never climax into what they looked to be building. In this episode the protagonist after messing so much in her work get to the conclusion that... she just needs to accept her work and work harder, and like it! Instead of being an upbeat conclusion to me it feels like a defeatist conclusion, because she herself explained to her co-workers how she never wanted to work there, how she had a job that she wanted to do but gave up, how she went along with things happening in her life expecting that everything would end well, how she depended on other people for all this to realize... instead of improving her attitude, instead of pursuing what she actually wanted to do... for herself... nope, she decides to go against her wishes to please everyone else at her work, because her work and the company that hires her is more important that her life.
It's easy to see how some people may dislike watching this. For one side, sure, it may not be the job you want but you still have to work as long as you're employed and put some effort in doing your job well. But at the same it's telling that this is the only option and answer, everything else is invalid and this isn't true. Your choices and actions only matter if you're slaving yourself "for the society" (fattening the pockets of your superiors)?
Things may change a bit in future episodes but I don't expect much improvement. About Hana... her characters is interesting because her personality contrasts with the "cute" Hana we know. Her character may become very rude and aggressive suddenly.

When you watch Junichi make sure to read the commends I wrong here on MDL! I ended with the impression that it was hugely misunderstood. I didn't watched Ataru, but I may watch even if just to get mad... yes, because of the actress. I'm also watching Koi Desu (that it's cut, just cut but average and tropy). If you want more of Hana Sugisaki than you need to watch Idaten (without a doubt one of the best jdramas ever made).
I looked the original manga and... it's bad. This is one of those dramas that makes miracles with the source material,…
Unfortunately I was not wrong when I wrote this two weeks ago. Despite being very cute the writing it's just common place average, with some very old tropes that should had died long ago (I'm talking specially about disabilities, it's even worse because this drama have those "educational" segments. It should had made clear that companies don't "receive money from the government to look good", it's called a "subside" and this "integration" policy is good for both the disabled and able bodied citizens). But it's my fault for having unrealistic expectations, don't let me spoil your enjoyment. Hana Sugisaki cuteness makes up for everything.
This is a must watch drama, they really went all out with this one. The budget must be the biggest ever, really incredible in all aspects. Better, it's also very good! Definitively a must watch.
According to the person who translated Idaten: "In case you didn't know, actress Ikenami Shino, who portrays Kokontei Shinso's wife, Rin, is the real life granddaughter of Kokontei Shinsho and Rin. She's in this drama to portray her own grandmother, after a 10 year absence from acting."
I looked the original manga and... it's bad. This is one of those dramas that makes miracles with the source material, to a certain point. It's not because there's the bit of dissonance between Yukiko's side of the story and Morio's side. Morio is a bit caricate, half-anime, there are scenes where Hana's action just besides him looks like they're characters from two different series. But still, it's to make the series feels more "fun", as long as they're not exaggerate, ok. Problem is the writing, judging from this episode 2 this will be an "average" series, not exceptional. This episode was very conventional, with he classic misunderstandings that shouldn't happen if the characters didn't apparently forgotten all the did, hear and experience to believe what some third person told them. Than we have the reconciliation after a feel days that excludes the cause of the misunderstanding. I like Yukiko's character and was basing the quality of the writing on her, but after the date she got up from her bed and stead of stating how stupid she had reacted with Kurokawa she went to her sisters... a shame. Still, good enough fun and now I'll stop making these comments because they're irrelevant.
I hate when I watch I movie and like the cast and when I go look their other roles I discover that they haven't acted on anything else. Always feels like a waste.
I loved so much the Saionji family, Toyoshima Hana as Hinami was really good as usual ❣ Need a drama just for…
This episode was perfect. By itself is just so funny, but this side story came just after Misono and her co-workers convinced their boss to keep the Rakkyoko campaign, it works like a future the renovated Rakkyoko short that they could do in the future.
kiss asian and drama cool both has 1st episode sub.
I understand the convenience, but the quality on those sites is so garbage... I honestly don't understand how can they encode so badly. People, just get he raws on any public tracker (like Nyaa) and the subtitles directly from D-Addicts (where you can talk and thank the translators).
Yes, I like this drama, don't worry. But because it's in the beginning I want to comment about this. I can understand wanting your leading role to be some known face that it's in the news, and judging by the first episode Hana is doing a convincing job and you can see from what Kurokawa tells Yukiko about how he sees her that this is a well-meaning drama. But the other roles? They could be filled by a truly disabled cast. Unfortunately we can only hope to see that happening on independent "artsy" productions? Such a shame
I searched it now and I found it! Loss res with korean subtitles, but it's all we have except... that the last episode refuses to play where I found it! If you're interested search for "ディビジョン1 「放課後。」 第", you'll find it on pandora dot tv.
