YAMEGOKU, episode 1 TV rating - 9.1 % http://akb48-daily.blogspot.com/2015/04/tv-yamegoku-first-ep-got-91-tv-rating.html I'm not familiar with drama ratings in japan, is this considered high or low for a pilot episode?
I know the show that this was up against got a 16.7 (I'm Home is the show). http://dramafreaks.ciao.jp/newpage.1504.rating_graf.html Anyways, talking about the show. Do wanna check this out, we know Yuko will be awesome in this show. But wanna see this because of the dark premise it has.
the drama Yuko is slot against is "I'm Home". starring smap member Kimura Takuya and Aya Ueto. not to mention it's a freaking family drama.
I'm looking forward to this drama, Oshima-san practice kendo technique for drama, it's awesome and her collaboration with tsubasa honda-san will be unique

I wonder what others opinion about Yuko acts in this drama. I only view ep 5(no time, busy with final exam and other uni stuff- well I still try to watch at least one episode), since I dont mind spoiler. I choose this episode since I heard this episode is one of the highlight in the drama. My review about this episode: This episode really good to me. Serious but still have comedy and sad part. Highlight moment--- The comedy moment (Bakuchan forgot to charge her Ipad , and Bakuchan rider kick) The serious (Bakuchan confront with boss Tachibana) The sad (the rooftop scene) Overall I really enjoy it. Cant wait till final exam finish, to watch all episode. Despite it low view rate. In terms of recording drama ranking Yamegoku is one of the top. About Yuko:To me she have improves from before, not overreact and her low voice in this drama I really love it. Though there are part she become a bit stiff and hesitant a bit. Well but compare to her recently drama, Zenni no sensou it is much better. Ps.sorry for the bad grammar. And this only my opinion, others might think otherwise though.
