Plot
The term "monster parent" refers to mothers and fathers who complain loudly to school administrators about the treatment their children receive in school. It is considered a derisive label, implying selfishness to the point of irrationality.
Ryoko Yonekura plays Itsuki Takamura, a young, efficient lawyer working for the firm Wilson & Shiroyama. She's assigned to advise and represent an elementary school that has been besieged by complaints from overzealous parents who are threatening to sue. Takamura is forced to be an arbitrator in these cases even though she's short-tempered and hates kids.

Didn't get to finish this one, but I liked it. Some of the parents need a chill pill! I guess since I don't have a kid I don't understand what the fuss is about. Yet, I still feel they want to blame the teach for their own issues. I tell ya, she handled it better than I would have, lol. Good watch for anyone interested in teaching, family dramas, or parents gone wild.
