Miyazaki is wonderful in Atsuhime, and at only 22 seems assured of a spectacular acting career. Best of luck!

Terrible drama but she's incredibly cute and that counts for everything in Japan. Well done.

Atsuhime is the Sunday night taiga drama, not a morning one like the article suggests.

As to the quality, I don't think it holds a candle to Furin Kazan.

Moderator: Thanks for the correction.

Atsuhime is the first taiga drama I've seen so I don't know how it compares with others but I find it to be very good and the award for Aoi Miyazaki to be much deserved.
