Hokaben

Hokaben All CastSo one of the doramas I’m watching this season is Hokaben. It stars Ueto Aya as a young hopeful lawyer who wants to be the savior of the weak. Her idea of what lawyers are is perhaps a bit naive, but I like to see some hope in the world. Normally, I don’t watch lawyer shows, but this turned out to be pretty interesting.

The first case of the show, which starts as a divorce case turns out to become a domestic violence issue and then to a child molestation case. It peaked my interest for sure because I seriously wanted to see the father/husband rot in jail or burn at the stake. But seriously, this could become a pretty good dorama, even if Ueto Aya isn’t being all cutesy. This is good for her, since it’s a serious role. I like her like that.

What dorama do you watch?

Ueto Aya – cute overload

Ok, so I have to admit that I love Ueto Aya. If you didn’t know, she’s a japanese actress and j-pop artist, who has been in quite a few Japanese dorama. If she’s in it, I’ll watch it. But that’s how I watch most of my dorama. The latest I saw her in was Abarenbo Mama where she is a rather young and newly become step mother, where she proves herself to be quite capable of being a mom. Very cute dorama.

I just watched the Attention Please special, where they go to Australia. Very good special. I love it when they do specials of doramas I like. But I was just reminded how cute she is! I just love the ending theme, Pretty Woman (originally by Roy Orbison) performed by Kimura Kaela, a great J-pop artist. I love her version of this song. Plus the ending credits show Ueto Aya’s character wearing different CA (cabin attendant) uniforms in it. Pretty neat. Video after the bump!
