For those who have been to Japan, or are interested in Japan or Japanese culture, more specifically Kyoto, the imagery of Kyoto in the show is worth seeing. It's a lovely story and singer Yui Yokoyama couldn't have been a better choice, she's delightful and entertaining, and does a wonderful job as Yoriko Shindo, and especially at singing the Kyoto street song, which I only found out was real thing after hearing it.
In reality, it's probably only a 7 or 8 out of 10 as far as Jdramas are concerned. It consists of a mere four, 24 minute episodes so it's around the same length of a movie and can be watched in an evening. I gave it a 10 despite it's weaker moments because I found so many that were captivating,.The English translation, 'A Sharply Graceful Girl', although a little unusual sounding, is the perfect expression of Yui's performance as Yoriko.
