REVIEWS: 

Before I go on, I think Shingo has been hanging out with SMAP partner, Kimura Takuya and trying to copy his hairdo.  Anyways, the drama...it's funny and it's unique roles for both guys.  It's an average but funny drama.  The humor was needed during the somewhat average drama Spring 98 season.  You may like this drama....but take notice of the "Cocktail" like scenes.
