"Caseworker's Diary" is a slice of life drama to the core. It is concisted by small cases from a social worker's daily life. The cases themselves were okay, some of them kind of boring, but others very interesting. So, when it came to human touch and heart warming stories, this drama did it right. However, the main plot was just missing. There was a leading lady who narrated the story, and we followed her and her colleagues while they were facing those small cases, but we never got to know her, other than some ghost of a personality that she had, by enjoying old american movies. Finally, the performances were good from everyone and the conclusion of the drama was satisfying enough.
Final Note: it was fun to watch Murayama Yoshiki from High&Low being a social worker!! The bad boy from the school gang grew up to be a good boy after all.

..WELFARE PROTECTION - THAT'S THE LAST RESORT TO PROTECT LIVES..

..meet Yoshizune Emiru - a no hope for talent as movie director turns to a public welfare worker, a zero knowledge one..
.
..here, she with her newly hired worker are given a duty to give public assistance to those people who wants support from them just to continue to survive and to live with some necessary process to do..
.
..at first, this drama is kina unique for me because it gives me another perspective of different job offers in this country, like Kasumi Arimura's Zenkamono, a probation officer..
.
..I do love the lineup of casts since I already watch many drama on it, what really matters is the story itself..
.
..it's a 10 episode show but it's kinda shorter for me, in a sense that their some cases that takes two episodes to finish, still, I am satisfied of these cases..
.
..and each episode, always make me cry, yes..
.
..their job is a serious one too, a job that not only shows one's profession how to handle people to get their assistance..
.
..here in this drama, I learn that hearing is one of the best language to can do, you better stay aside your profession and put yourself on their situation..
.
..it's not good to judge them first and easily express your own thinking and emotion just to say that you are working to them for good unless you will see the big picture on this..
.
..a story of love of work, love to other people, a hope that everyone deserves - a second chance to change our life for good, knowing there are people like them which are ready to help you as long as you help yourself too..
.
..this drama is another masterpiece for me, the casts and staffs you are all impressive..
