i started watching this out of boredom and i'm glad i did. i really don't understand why this drama isn't more popular (compared to zenkai girl which i thought was kinda cliche) things i loved: -overlying theme 'man is not an island'. saki gradually realizes that friendship is so important when chasing your dreams and that she doesn't have to bear that burden alone. -comedic moments broke up the seriousness! the michael jackson dancing scenes were great and seeing how a high strung ohitorisama type let's loose was cute and refreshing. -great ensemble cast! each of the characters struggle with expectations placed on them by society and family and what they really want to do. that internal conflict was very realistic (especially since i am very similar to the main character saki). -lighting this is an odd detail, but one of the first things i noticed about this drama was the use of natural lighting in saki's apartment. scenes that took place there aren't lit by artificial lights but solely by window light. it's an odd thing to notice but when dramatic scenes took place there, it gave the setting more of a warmer feel. it was a nice touch from the PD. things i hated: -too short! i'd love to see this get a special! overall: if you want a heart-warming comedy about an ohitorisama that breaks down her shell, this quirky comedy might be for you! definitely recommended!
