Imagine

Kyoko Fukada in Imagine (Tuesdays at 10 p.m. on Fuji TV), the story of a 19-year-old office clerk, mature beyond her years, who has to cope with a flighty, immature mother, was a nice change from the typical stereotypes of today's teens but is hardly worth staying up late for on a regular basis.Iijima Yu (Fukada Kyoko), an OL, lives with her single mother, Iijima Mitsuko (Kuroki Hitomi).

But she has yet to fall in love. Her mother, on the other hand, falls in love with Honnodera Toshihiko (Abe Hiroshi), and Yu meets Tanaka Yohei (Nakamura Shunsuke), who has just entered the same company as her. Things are looking bright for the both of them.

REVIEWS:  

The story is actually pretty cool.  At first I thought Yu's mother was retarded but then she had this awesome job and was so fashionable that I guess that she was just a ditz.  Interesting storyline and a girl who is in search of love but has to take care of her ditzy mom.-KNDY
