Athena Oct 26 2017 3:50 am This is an inspiring drama, especially for those who work in Political Communication like me. The drama plot is simple and tight, a little short maybe. Each character has their own signature and were well-portrayed. I can see it has the potential for a longer series, why don't they make one? Higa Minami plays the protagonist like the role of Ninomiya Kotoha was written only for her. Dai-san totally convinced me that he was a young politician with an ideal. Hasekawa Kyoko done it well, like usual. What suprised me is the performance of Hayami Mokomichi. Mokomichi-san portraited Wada Kamatari successfully with his calm look, words, and of course, that gorgeous man-style. He is ready for more major, profound and complicated roles, I believe. Over all, a big 5-stars for Hayami Mokomichi and the whole cast. Another 5 stars for the Mokomichi-Minami shipping! Their chemistry is perfect since Hammer Sessions!
