Fun viewing experience!I giggled throughout, except for the serious parts. High camp with a heart, all wrapped up in 5 episodes. Hanako was a ditzy character with a core of honesty and authenticity that more than made up for her shortcomings. If you want to see a similar drama you should watch "Bokura wa Kiseki de Dekite Iru" (aka We Are Made of Miracles) -- it is also very funny and touching and I'm finding that I love this genre of Japanese drama. It is also 5 episodes and stars the remarkable actor Takahashi Issei.
So I'm watching Possessed and I'm trying to place the lead actor. He seems kind of familiar, but I can't recall any dramas he's been in. Well, duh! He's only been in two dramas and the first, before this role in Possessed, is the young brother in the brilliant drama My Mister. He was absolutely brilliant as the unemployed film director younger brother sharing a cleaning business with his also unemployed other brother in My Mister. Glad to see he is careful about what roles he takes, because it's been almost a year between these two roles. Going back in to start ep. 2 of Possessed because I expect great things just because of his presence.
