  Drama??? Wouldn't that be better classified as a "Supernatural Drama"? Drama usually doesn't have magic or monsters unless it's combined with something else. Sci-fi drama, Horror drama, etc.

  I think she needs to play sexier roles. Granted she is 30, but sci fi monster doramas is a push for a hottie like her.

  Isn't she an 'inteli-geinin' ?

  It's Asahi TV so you can guarantee that their dramas are crap.
