Sypnosis

“Zenkai Girl” is the first time that Aragaki is playing the main character in a television series, though she has previously had several roles as major secondary characters. In the series, she plays Wakaba, an ambitious international lawyer with dreams of rising to the top. After finding a job at a law office, her boss (Yakushimaru Hiroko) gives her an unexpected assignment: to take care of the boss’s 5-year-old daughter.

Wakaba is eager to do the task well in order to advance her career. While taking the girl to nursery school, she encounters a young man (Nishikido) who is raising a son after being divorced from his wife. As they both struggle in watching over the kids, love gradually blossoms between them. --- Tokyograph

I haven't watched Japanese dramas for ages. IMHO, the quality of Japanese romantic comedies have dropped considerably over the past couple of years. But the first episode of Zenkai Girl was pretty funny and cute.

[Guest kasjady]

Episode 1 was really interesting, I haven't seen an engaging japanese drama for some time. It's worth watching

[Guest miki_chan]

I watched this last night, finally a Getsu 9 drama that has been worth watching in a while. Very cute and funny, will be watching next week too

[Guest xtehdeb]

this drama looks interesting! gakky<3 anyone subbing this drama?

[Guest tru32urluv]

Saw episode 1 and I'm liking it so far. Not to mention I think Nishikido Ryo is very cute as a stay at home dad hahaha.

this drama is getting seriously fun and heartwarming. ryo and gaki sure has a great chemistry.

so far this jdorama is setting a different bar for me in terms of romantic dramas.I'm always looking forward for each episode :wub:

[_loner_]

i love this drama.

so funny...and the kids are so cute

I haven't watched a J-dorama since forever. This looks promising, though -- I might just watch it.

[clockwatcher]

There are subs on d-addicts. Okay, i'll try this today. I'm so bored and need something to watch.

[clockwatcher]

OMG, I LOVE IT!

Their chemistry is fantastic. I haven't seen a romantic jdrama this lovely in such a long time. It's giving me the feeling I felt when I watched Long Vacation and that's my favorite series. OMG, I WANT MORE! 

The only thing I don't like is that she makes him feel like a loser. But she'll soon appreciate(and admit to) his true value, I am sure

I don't know if people read jdrama recaps but I'll write some for my blog. Totally love this one. 

I did a four episode recap so feel free to check it out  

[bawkchoi]

^uwahhh this looks really good! gonna go dl it right now ^^ seems like the perfect summer drama to watch ^^~

[~Autumn~]

ZG is totally awesome. The leads have wonderful chemistry together, and there's so much denial and repressed feelings at the moment I think I might explode soon. I also love how their characters are so complementary to each other, they might seem worlds apart, but they are not as different as they'd like to believe. I am starting to develop a girl crush on Wakaba, she's freaking glorious. I never thought Aragaki Yui was a good actress before but she really nailing it here. I always have a thing Nishikido Ryo and he's charming my socks off as Sota. The kids are also adorable.

[xiashenghan]

This drama is really interesting.

Aragaki's character is really funny. XD

She thinks that other people are taking advantage of her, when the truth is they're not. XD

And how she imagines things (like finding the right man who is rich and good-looking).

I've seen only a few episodes though.

'Coz the ones I have are not in sync with the subtitles I got so it's really hard to watch it. T_T

Does anyone knows who is picking up this drama?
