[JAPAN] TELEVIEWS / This Summer’s dramas

In the latest Televiews from Wm. Penn on Daily Yomiuri, Penn writes about the upcoming dramas for the Summer season in Japan.

Penn writes, ”

“Pity the judges of Za Terebijon magazine’s 53rd Drama Academy Awards. They have to choose a winning drama out of this spring’s selection of spectacular losers. A sadder slate of candidates would be hard to find.”

“Will the new summer dramas be better? Penn’s prime prospects for this first week of the new season include: the father-daughter brain-switching comedy Papa to Musume no Nanokakan (July 1, 9 p.m., TBS network), the scenic Hokkaido excursion Ushi ni Negai o Love & Farm (July 3, 10:10 p.m., Fuji) and Juken no Kamisama (9 p.m., July 7, NTV network), starring Tatsuya Yamaguchi as a single dad with a daughter in need of a glamorous tutor.”
