maumol Oct 16 2022 12:00 pm found better chemistry between these two....Etsuko Kono ..... Hachiro Kaizuka...i was hoping they would have a chance in a season 2...but no chance this will hav a season 2 though...

i enjoyed this so much...i learned so much about proofreading because of this sereis....

Petra Feb 21 2022 6:27 am Watched it twice already! I end up liking Masaki Suda's songs, especially since it is my genre, rock. Well ... my comment is ... hurry up with the sequel!!

Iman Jan 28 2022 5:55 am I watched this because of Suda Masaki <3 and I'm glad I did! Yukito is definitely one of my favorite characters of his. I love that he's always there for her and rooting for her especially when she's working ? I also love how they point out how underrated being a proofreader is. They don't get appreciated enough and I can relate to that. I also love the character development of Etsuko in each episode. Overall, it's a fun and layback drama. Definitely recommend everyone to watch this especially if you're a fan of Suda <3 x

Oh, don't forget to watch the special as well!

Trisha olais Jan 16 2022 10:06 am Where is the ep 2 :((

roland Jan 01 2022 6:57 am very funny to watch and each episodes in interesting

Eric Nov 11 2021 9:58 pm Aufa - i agree. I've watched about 2 of Satomi's drama and her character in Heaven is just a 'likeable' person who just eats and drinks. In Unnatural she was just this smart alec - been quite a while so i forgot the series.

My preffered female leads are Ryoko Yonekura - Dr X, Anne Watanabe - Humanoid Monster, Bem & Hanasaki Mai Speaks Out and of course Emi Takei - Senryokugai Sosakan.

Great to see Tsubasa here too. Masaki Suda's character was just as annoying as his Dele character.

Overall this series sucks.

Aufa Oct 18 2021 11:04 pm The epitome of sticking your nose in someone else's business. Her character basically the honest pure outspoken girl which tend to correct everything she sees not fit. Sometimes its ok but more often came out as annoying. She just meddling into another person's personal life, which she barely knows, and went extra length for it. The premises for each episode basically just she proofread an article/book, find its flaws, digs into the author life, sh*t happened and she being all noble and pure just have to stick her nose. And at the end of the day, everything work out just fine because of her meddling. Dont really like this kind of story, its just too unrealistic. On the good side, Tsubasa Honda really eyesoothing.

Minty Aug 11 2021 1:49 am This drama is brighten my days during the pandemic. I laughed a lot. Charming and delightful to watch, and of course unforgettable. Dear Satomi-san and the whole team, thank you for your wonderful work! :D

Sitta Jun 10 2019 3:40 pm Another J-drama to be recommended. It is fun and lively. Quite comical but meaningful and somehow deep. Just a bit lack of intimacy between Kono-chan and Yukito kun, but that's Japanese drama vibes anyway. But lots of hilarious scenes between Tako-Butcho-Fujiwa-Kono-Yukito-rest of the casts, so, fair enough. If you need to cheer up your mood and gloomy days, this one will do.

kei Sep 26 2017 9:01 am It was so funny when Etsuko was so lonely from leaving Oda san to live together with Yukito when in fact their new apartment is just around the corner and a few feet away from Oda san's! XD

Keightie Jun 29 2017 3:34 am only 6 episodes right?

Nett Jun 23 2017 4:39 am This one is a good drama. Nice fashionable style by Ishihara Satomi and cool style of Suda Masaki

hotarumaruchii Oct 08 2016 4:37 am I wonder how the romance for this drama will work since in the relationship table ishihara satomi's character kinda have an affection for suda masaki's character & i guess honda tsubasa too based on the first ep but in suda masaki's character he didn't reciprocate to any of the female character's affection based on the chart so i really wonder how the romance will take place in this drama if there's any :)) since i guess this drama centers around the working place & the people of it. Hopefully as episodes goes by it will get more interesting because im watching this for ishihara satomi & suda masaki ^^~

Tsuba Sep 12 2016 6:11 pm Honda Tsubasa chan cast in this drama!

me_nina Sep 08 2016 3:36 am aaa---- can't wait~~ love the couple so much <3<3<3

Andrew890 Aug 18 2016 6:27 pm Junko-san!! looking forward to!!

Crocodilz Aug 17 2016 9:00 pm or satoshi tsumabuki... pair her with cute actor pls!!

Crocodilz Aug 17 2016 8:58 pm Satomi x Sho Sakurai / Ninomiya Kazunari
