Synopsis
Monster parent: a neologism that denotes parents who repeatedly make unreasonable demands to their children’s school and prevent it from functioning normally.

Takamura Itsuki is the ace lawyer of a major law firm. One day, she is assigned on a case requested by a school board, and learns of the existence of "monster parents".

At first a little hesitant to devote herself completely to this new job, Takamura finds herself in situations far "below" her regular clientele standards. However, the more she works for the school board, the more she realizes certain things about herself.

1. Watch for Ryoko-san [Rating: 7/10]
Yonekura Ryoko is so lovely in this drama! I watched it mainly it see what outfits she would wear. In the first episode alone she wore 12+ different things! I lost count about half an hour into the episode lol.

The storyline is interesting, but could have been moreso had the writers pulled through. A lot of the episodes were left unresolved, which was frustrating since the incidents with the monster parents is always the focus of the episode. The subplot (with Miura-san) was good, and it was great to see recognizable guest stars drop in.

Overall the drama was fun for me, but mainly because I love Ryoko-san. Would I recommend it to someone who doesn't care much for Ryoko? Prolly not.

Pretty good effort. Ryoko-chan is very believeable as the tough, smart, cool and gorgeous lawyer. The episodes tend to blend in to one another, up until the last few, but the overall story is quite good.

Ryoko-san is FAB in this show! Not only is her performance solid, but her wardrobe is AMAZING! I had fun watching her in this series.
