Mop Girl (Japanese Drama)



Genre: Mystery, Fantasy, Comedy
Episodes: 10

Main Cast:
Kitagawa Keiko as Hasegawa Momoko
Tanihara Shosuke as Otomo Shoutaro

Synopsis:

Hasegawa Momoko, a girl who dreams of being a wedding planner is transferred to Little Angels, a subsidiary company of her employer that provides funeral services, following a disastrous incident in a wedding ceremony at the hotel. She acquires the ability to travel back in time at the age of ten, when she is involved in a traffic accident but is saved by a mysterious woman, who passes the ability to her shortly before succumbing to her wound. Years later, she finally learns that the trigger to activating her ability is by touching an important item which belonged to a deceased person that held some sort of significance for them. She uses this ability to travel in time and prevents the death of the deceased persons she encounters on her line of work.

My Thoughts:

A splendid drama. Weird characters which creates the humor and comedy of the drama. Time-travelling and changing the future. Cool concept. Since I saw the lead girl in a movie before as a serious kind of person, to see her character in here made me laugh even more from impression of her movie. The character improves over the episodes and in a way prevents her company from making money too in a sense now that I think about it.  When she travels back to the past, she always make this weird face expression and words which are funny to see and hear. She was in a dazed at every time travel to the past but afterwards she was determined to do what she can.
