J-drama Review: Seigi no Mikata (2008)

Finally I managed some time to finish this dorama :)) I have been procrastinated since this drama was released in 2008 and I decided to watch it because Shida Mirai took a main role here. This Japanese drama is titled "Seigi no Mikata" a.k.a Ally of Justice.

I don't like Youko's hairstyle in this promotional poster.. I guess this was previous hairstyle for Youko before the drama team changed her hairstyle to the better one :D
Story
Yoko (Mirai Shida), a first-year high-school student, has been the victim of her older sister, Makiko (Yu Yamada), since they were little girls. Makiko treats Yoko as her personal servant, making her feel useless and stupid. Yoko has tried to tell others that Makiko is evil, but the older girl is good at showing a benevolent face to the world, so no one believes Yoko.
Makiko becomes more demanding the older they get, even using Yoko to get boyfriends for her. One morning, when Yoko leaves home for school, she sees Makiko talking to Yoko's boyfriend, who is there waiting for her.
Makiko has told him something embarrassing about Yoko, and Yoko can no longer stand it.

Overall Review
Since Makiko was used to be only child in family (until Youko was born 10 years later), she become a selfish and bossy person. Never do chores or budge from any fights. She even can't sew a button, LOL. Makiko and Youko has wide age gap, that's why Youko isn't able to refuse her older sister's commands.
With Makiko's wickedness, it's surprisingly always brings excessive luck to anyone that got verbally abused by her. Youko always being a forever prey to her sister, because Youko is obedient, diligent and able to cook. Makiko is also a glutton, that won't give their family (especially to her sister) the best part of any meal in their dinner time.
I really like Youko's youthful and honest character and her expressive attitude is just kawaii :p
However, this drama has light story line, hilarious and entertaining =)) Perfect to fill your leisure time!

Rating: 8 / 10



Anyone love this drama as well? :D
