Jess Jul 27 2023 4:27 pm I can't believe Takeuchi Yuko passed away :(. May she rest in peace. Now I feel a little odd watching something of hers knowing she committed suicide. Same with Sei Ashina...

JAK Mar 07 2021 4:04 am RIP Takeuchi Yuko. May she find rest. She was really really charismatic in this drama. She portrayed a beautiful, strong-willed, mysterious, ambiguous yet very intelligent woman.

Asami-san is also really cool acting here! The capable side kick who's tomboy-ish but very feminine in her outfits. In general, this drama is great in depicting 2 main characters that are 2 30/40 something year old mature intelligent women.

Also to note, the fashion for the whole lawyer office cast is Top Notch. Basically almost all high fashion foreign and local Japanese brand names show up at the end credits scene.

Aika Jun 12 2020 8:19 am I ship Himi and Yoda. They are so cute together! A must watch TV series.

tyrajichan Jul 24 2019 2:34 pm I love the relationship between all the colleagues, yoda and himi are so cute as partner and i love when they teased fujieda.

shiori May 18 2019 4:37 am This drama reminds me of Shonda Rhimes' Scandal.

TAT Feb 23 2019 6:10 am The opening song is by milet「inside you」. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHLC_uhnrxk

Wina Feb 16 2019 6:28 am Somebody know ost of this drama?
