Some Love for Gakky

Recently someone on reddit  was asking for recommendations for dramas and mentioned that they really liked  "We Got Married As A Job" and actress Yui Aragaki. I couldn't help but jump on the bandwagon suggesting some of MY fave dramas from her!

My Post:

Yui Aragaki is a wonderful actress to be a fan of, she has SO many really great dramas to choose from! Some of my personal favorites:

Okitegami Kyoko No Biboroku

One of her most recent dramas. It’s a detective drama. Yui plays Kyoko Okitegami, a girl detective who is awesome at detecting…but her memory re-sets each night. Some really creative use of this strange malady, plus nice love interest with Masaki Okada as the guy who is in love with her, but he has to re-introduce himself to her every day. Not sure if you will dig her white wig, though.

Legal High

This series is about Yui as Mayuzumi, a go-getter legal aide witha heart of gold who is partnered with an arrogant but super intelligent hotshot lawyer named Komikado (Masato Sakai).

Interesting cases and their personality clashes make for some fun and exciting situations! This spawned a bunch of sequels.

Zenkai Girl

Yui plays a young professional who gets saddled with taking care of her boss’s precocious daughter. Along the way she meets a gentle man named Yamada (Ryo Nishikido) who has a kid of his own and through the school, they become friends. A Sweet drama.

My Boss My Hero

Really more of a Nagase Tomoya (TOKIO) drama than a Yui Aragaki one, this is about a Yakuza thug who is set to inherit his father’s mob, but he’s so dumb his father tells him he has to graduate from school before he can take over.

He has to pretend to be a “regular” kid and makes friends with the misfits in the school, as well as cute Hikari (Aragaki). One of my top-ten fave dramas, to be honest!

Papa To Musume no Nanokan

This is an early drama of Yui’s, but still one of my faves! Yui plays teenage daughter Kome who switches bodies with her Ad executive Father. Since they don’t know how long it will last, she goes to work as the father, and the father goes to school with her friends, LOL. This is a short drama, only 7 episodes long, but so fun.

And i should mention that Yui is also part of an ensemble medical drama “Code Blue” about doctors working on a Helicopter emergency outfit along with Erika Toda and Yamashita Tomohisa (you might find this fun since he played the monk in “from 5 to 9”), not only did this spawn a few sequels, but they just announced they are making a new season!!!

So, those were the five Yui Aragaki dramas i decided to recommend.
Which ones would YOU have all suggested? LOL!
