I'm now well into the show (Week 18). This time I made some effort to look into the actresses histories and loved how the real careers of Koizumi Kyoko and Yakushimaru Hiroko mirrored their Amachan characters' life histories. It really shows the in depth planning they did for this show, and how even the choice of the actresses had a deeper meaning in the show. I wonder if those 2 actresses were amused by the parallels in their lives and the story?

And then I hit Ep 105 with the "Filthy Cinderella" line!! Thank you so much for the note about it. That was pure gold!!!

This drama really is a cut above the rest. Thank you again for the new subs. I'm glad I decided to re-watch it.
