Hokaben (possible spoiler)
This kind of thing drives me nuts. The writers of some of these dramas don't seem to care whether their characters behave as they would in real life or not. Don't they hire technical advisers? Rookie lawyers, rookie anything, cops, doctors, nurses, don't know much, it's true, but they weren't born yesterday.That's the way Ueto-san's character is written. In this drama they seem to be saying that though her client was deliberately and relentlessly stupid, it was, somehow, the rookie lawyer's fault that the wife stabbed the husband. Nonsense. I'm a big fan of Aya-chan, but, if this kind of stupidity continues, I don't think I'll be able to watch it. Characters can do stupid things, but the writers can't, or it just isn't worth watching.

Welcome to the forums quandary! If you feel something you write may be a spoiler, you can just enclose it in spoiler tags, like what I do below.

Your comments made me go back and rewatch bits of ep1, because I was very pleasantly impressed with the drama and I'm following it still.
Oh, to be clear, I don't believe high ratings always mean a good show and low ratings a bad one. Your tastes may differ from the masses. However, dramas with very high ratings are worth catching, and dramas with very low ones do have big problems. In general.

I've only seen the first episode, but just from that I agree that she is not suited to be a lawyer. Being a social worker seems right up her alley. Don't know why she didn't go for that instead. Maybe she wanted the badge?harukaya wrote:geesshhh.. this drama is getting worse and worse..domoto should not be a lawyer. she should change career to become a social worker or an investigator. i have no intentions to continue watching any of this nonsense. what a waste of good cast!!

i know!!! i feel so bad for Sugisaki-sensei (not that he feels this way) to have to mentor such a stubborn person.... i mean yes it is right to be ethical and everything but pretty much everyone knows that it's very contradicting to be a lawyer.... to be ethical u have to stay professional and faithful to ur job and hence this means giving up the general morals.... domoto just doesn't get it though! it makes me so mad why she couldn't just let go of certain things even though i THINK i was supposed to be on her side as she is the protagonist of the story... i think it just makes her so stupid and i wonder how people can go thru law school like that being SO naive...... i'm just watching cuz of Sugisaki-sensei and i generally don't quit a drama once i start watching unless it's just completely unwatchable.... and i guess this is not THAT bad yet.... i only started watching cuz of Shige but his role is too smallharukaya wrote:geesshhh.. this drama is getting worse and worse..domoto should not be a lawyer. she should change career to become a social worker or an investigator. i have no intentions to continue watching any of this nonsense. what a waste of good cast!!
p.s. does anyone happen to know where i can download the OST for this drama?? there's always one drama every season with an OST that like burns to my head and this drama is it.... one of them... it echoes between your two ears and the song is so addictive!!
