JAPANESE DRAMA DATABASE: Coach

Coach

This is probably #1 for me. Very funny. Asano Atsuko is relegated from a head office to small sardine factory in country side. All workers there don't work but play baseball always. In order for her to go back to the head office, she started to control them to work but how can she adjust to a country life and also live and work with people she can't stand? Also, how will they be able to work with someone as comandeering as her?

Dominated the ratings in July of 1996. This could be well the return of Asano Asuko!

REVIEWS:

I loved this drama. Basically one of the few summer dramas that I can say really shines out and it's very good! It may appeal to older viewers than younger since it features top talent from the late 80's. Highly recommended. - KNDY
