J-Drama: Saito-san.
Rating: 8.5/10 - cute, fun, easy going
Viewership ratings: 15.5 (Kanto)
Just finished watching this one a few days ago. On some days I watched more than one episode, which means I liked it.
This drama has a stress free theme & is just fun to watch. Although, I must say the last 2 episodes become less light-hearted. I did feel a little let-down with this ending. Please don't let those words stop you from watching this drama because it's definitely worth the time to watch. I just wanted a different end. Sorry!
Saito-san is a woman who believes in following rules & doing the right thing. She holds others to this. Her & Mano (her new neighbor) meet one day while Saito is being herself & telling an elderly lady she has to follow the trash day rules. Mano is a little nervous, but manages to introduce herself. Saito & Mano both have boys the same age that attend the same kindergarten. Over time a friendship is born.
Couple of other things that bugged me.
* Never got to see the father's face.
* Mano wearing those knee length shorts with boots. *eye sore*
