Channeru wa sono mama!

It's a very charming drama with some emotional beats at the end. Honestly, while some of the situations that the crew are put in seem very silly I was at the edge of my seat the whole time. All in all it was adorable and the first season is only 5 episodes, so it won't take too much of your time.

I think it should have been 10 episodes or a second season because it really is great show. Nothing original but the lead actress is so right for her part. I don't see anyone else doing so perfect. My first ever Japanese show and I really loved it.

So far the best Japanese show I saw on Netflix! Midnight diner would be close second. The actors did a great job, especially the main actress, and the news director. Very goofy and funny and at the end of series turned out be quite moving too. Re watched it 3 times already(mainly because Im learning Japanese but re watching was not a chore at all, I keep noticing new details each time). I hope they're going to release a second season!

Watch this. That woman is genius. And I think it's all her. Because with same script, one who would be even tiny little bit self-conscious would have ruined it. Only reason for giving 9 and not 10 is they made just 5 episodes and no second season.

Japanese tv is basically the last remaining bastion of tv shows that are not obsessed with romance or political correctness Yukimaru is someone that anyone can relate to but also someone who sports exceptional optimism and teamwork. At the same time she is a huge bungler doing many things wrong. But because she is so honest and hard working, she always seems to win the day. Only the Japanese could make a comedy show about the running on a news TV station really interesting and it is because of a feeling generated that makes you care for all the characters especially Yukimaru. It is quite evocative of "Sunset on third street" despite being set in a very different time and place. I laughed out loud a lot with some utterly hilarious moments. The subs are quite good and give non Japanese speakers the chance to understand the jokes well. Overall I loved this show
