    My fave TV serial
    Esumi san is a legend in Japan. She is from the West of japan from a rural area but plays a corporate office lady really so well. And this serial was great. I think maybe most popualr in Japan. They were cool, gossipping and showed their legs. Not sure if Americans can get it.
