Aileen Aug 24 2013 1:09 pm Excellent show! Power to us Girls!!!!

nhimura Aug 22 2013 8:33 pm it's a goooood movie! i love how every character solve their own problem in the workplace, and also their love lives. The pairings are great, especially Michiko and Kento. They really got my attention. And yeah, Michiko's thrilled face at the elevator scene was the funniest! She's such a great actress. And as expected from Karina and Mukai, they made an interesting couple.. but Mukai didn't really stands out in here, unlike Jun who did a good job being such an annoying person. It would be nice to re-watch this movie again someday
