im really excited to see this! ive heard that the anime and the manga was good so i have a high expectation for this drama, besides i really love Kanno Miho!!

[novemberbaby]

I've never seen Kanno Miho's dramas before but I'm definitely going to watch this one! I love dramas that deal with office ladies and romance, haha. Plus, there's Yoshizawa Yuu and Mocomichi! <3

Teehee. Yoshizawa Yuu looks kind of weird in the picture though.

[Amethyst]

I have seen the anime version, its fun, looking forward to watch this live action.

[jade_frost]

I love Kanno Miho. She's a very versatile actress so I'll be watching this even though I'm not certain it's a genre I'll fancy.

Some screenshots from Ep1 which will be shown next Wednesday:
