and that awards itself is often wayward IMHO, but this one is just atrocious.

I think surprisingly her biggest strength lies on comedy, I have never seen her failing comedy scenes, from Amachan, 11 Nin mo Iru, her brief but extremely hilarious part in Yuusha 2, and Biri Girl.

I agree on your point that she has decent potential, but I find her agency has definitely mishandled her - she is still green and somewhat unrefined in terms of acting but they push her to play in shows that neither add or showcase one's skills. That's why she remains looking same again and again, which is boring.

Just disappointing and huge waste of talent. The action scenes are surpisingly good though.

Most likely 11 eps, since the viewership rating is pretty decent, hence it won't likely to be cut.

I wanna see more of the girl on ep.5. She's definitely got big potential.

Smile!!!!

Seiyes!!!

This show reminds me of my past - I was living a life similar to those guys, but I can cope and moved on.

I wanna pinch her cheeks XD. And she can act well also.

She's technically better than Kuriyama. IMHO Kuriyama is rather overrated, she's all about screen presence and not so much deft technique.

Stupid Nipponese monopolistic policy. However she thrives in minor dramas and slow but sure she will become a force to reckon with. I wonder what happened to Jun Yoshinaga...

Yoko's cousin, I presume. She was still quite young there. Also she also takes small part in Suzuki Sensei as one of Suzuki's student (the left-handed braided girl).

Frankly speaking we're having a plain piss poor season for Jdrama after a string of good ones for a while. Death Note remake and Koinaka will certainly crash and burn, while most others are simply unconvincing. Some offer different concepts, like Dokonjo Gaeru and Enka Gold Rush but the latter is pretty unlikely to be subbed, since it is aired in WOWOW.

lol

Lontong's here. Frankly speaking, the idea is no longer uncommon, despite strong cast ensemble. Still potentially good, but we all had already seen all-star doramas like this being ruined by boring or makjang plots.

I see her future in movies if she wants to be a profilic actress. There's no way she can be a world beater through cliched, dumb series.

kanako + kirishima + fatal frame movie lol

Jin Katagiri was born to do this role. I can't think anyone could be better off, or even match his insane portrayal.

...and Virgin Road of course, a bit old but you can see her when she was one of the top actresses in the 90s.

I don't know you haven't seen Amachan.
