" /> Nezumi: “We meet again.” = I’m back!
" /> The shocking truth!!
TYPE: drama
GENRE: shojo idol
YEAR: 2012-Jan-13 to 2012-Apr-7
Summary:
38 year old Usa Shijimi is a triste, ugly and unpopular female teacher at a delinquent school but outside the school she’s the super popular 17 year old Watanabe Mayu(yu). Shijimi tries hard to pursuit her dream while running her “normal” life. One day she gets exposed and the fans let lose a storm of anger. Her dream crushed she has to face her fans to apologize…
Critique:
This is Watanabe Mayu’s drama show as herself. In this show Mayu gets to show off all her acting skills which is a lot more than in Majisuka Gakuen1&2. She also gets to show her chameleon ability between the two distinct appearances and roles. It’s really surprising how she could look that much different with just simple makeup. I’ve seen better chameleon-like actors/actresses with even less, though. Even though there are a lot of good actors and actresses in the show she’s able to keep her center stage by acting rather than by story. Not that the story doesn’t revolve around her anyway. There are lots of funny or comic relief situations which makes it entertaining.
In case you are wondering the story is superficial similar to the manga “Obaachan wa Idol” (My grandmother is an idol).
Verdict: 8.5
cast: 8
cast performance: 9.5
script/directing: 8
