If any of you had perused my J-drama watching list (conveniently posted up at the "My Drama List" site) you might have noticed that among the few dramas on my "on-hold" list was the Aya Ueto/ Michiko Kichise drama "Hirugao". Though I love both lead actresses, I found it to be an extremely frustrating drama to watch because the way Aya 's character Sawa just blindly follows along with Kichise's 'bad influence" girl Rikako's shady shenanigans had me screaming at the screen "why is she so dumb?!" as she keeps getting into trouble after obeying whatever incriminating situation she's put into, and after just one episode I just couldn't work up interest to watch any more. I was very surprised to read in SANSPO that the first project Aya Ueto will be tackling since her eturn to acting (after taking time out to have a child) will be the filming of a MOVIE sequel to the Hirugao series! WHAAA! I had no IDEA that that show was successful enough to warrant a film treatment!
Looking at the rating charts for the series and realizing it pulled a decent 13.85 average Kanto rating, I'm thinking it might be in my best interest to give the drama another chance! After all, I already took the time to GET the whole series and it's been just sitting in a folder on a harddrive so it wouldn't take any more effort than making time to check it out again! Hmmm, OK, dug the drama up and uploaded it to my desktop. I'm going to be going once more into the fray.... Posted by zdorama @ zdoramaagain.blogspot.com
