Synopsis
This drama portraits the nostalgias of "the good old days" and youthful hopes and dreams.

Yuika Satonaka (Ueto) is a freshman in university who came to live in Tokyo to continue her studies. Although she had a brand new start before her eyes, she was somehow at a loss. Nothing seemed to interest her and her hopes and dreams were distant. One day at the school orientation, her eyes are glued at a sudden performance of a group of unsuccessful actors, �gShimokita Sundays�h. Their unique play made her laugh�c something she has forgotten for a long time. Yuika takes a chance to visit Shimokita and goes to see their play only to find how unpopular and how very few audiences they had. But still, their performance touches Yuika�fs soul�c great enough to make her try out for their audition.

Shimokita Sundays had an interesting story which felt unique and deviated itself from all other dramas. The plot starts off slow with the introduction of Aya Ueto's character, Yuika. Yuika's character is very different from what Aya's other roles are, so it was interesting seeing Aya's ability to portray her. The cover art for the drama is kind of a turn off due to Yuika having a weird haircut, but I'd figured I give Aya a chance and I was glad I did. Most of the show is filled with awkward and funny moments while having a consistent melancholic feel and each episode gets progressively better. Chances are, if you're an Aya fan, you'll give it a shot and you'll either love it or hate it.

Shimokita Sundays had a good idea and story behind it but lacked of originallity and should have been way more funny.
They could have done much more with the idea and good cast.
There were many stetched and boring times and I watched it mainly because of Aya.
However, the cast and story were good.
And, as always I have to say how excellent Aya was ^_^
With her great way to play Yuika she really was the best part about SS. Super cute and funny.
But I must say that SS later became better with every episode. The last 2-3 were quite good. It had a slow start though.

Shimo...shimo...shimo...shimo...Shimokita Sundays!
The heroine, misled without dreams and hopes for the future is finding her way back to a good life and learning the important things that make life woth living.. Pay attention to the things happening in the background of the screen, can be very funny. Lovely Soundtrack. This Dorama proves again the versatility of Ueto Aya.

Yes...u wouldn't understand the whole story in the beginning but overall after epi 2 it all makes sense...there might be over-reacting laughing weird guys but i went through laugh and tears and totally no regret watchin it..i felt sorry for those who didnt watch this..(just my opinion) and the theme song were fantastic..

Kinda funny to me, though hard to understand some of the jokes. It takes a while to get used to but other than that it's a pretty good drama as it is Ueto Aya. She's not too much a clown but she's cute for trying!

When watching eps 1, I quickly got bored cos I couldn't understand what the story was. But then it became more and more interesting. I really love their show about 'Monkey', I cried a lot there.

Enjoyable nonsense, Sasaki Kuranosuke is good as usual but unfortunately the script did not allow Yamaguchi Sayaka to show what she's capable of.This will probably appeal only to Aya Ueto fans.

She is quite blur in the drama. But it was very adorable. She wanted to become a good actors and training with a team of actors trainee. It is a totally Comedy drama. Cheering Us Up!!~

For first episode, I felt weird about the story line..but when Aya's part on acting, I enjoy it. She's an aura that some people doesn't have!
11. Comments by daniela [Rating: 6/10]
to tell the truth, I watched it only because Aya was in it otherwise I would have immediately dropped it..
12. Comments by Milano [Rating: 8/10]
it was fast to see to the end. The story is very simple: friendship among actors of a small acting group.
13. Comments by compaqmac321 [Rating: 9/10]

14. Comments by xploring [Rating: 6/10]
The storytelling wasn't that great, but Aya was convincing and kawaii.

Was very surreal, Aya played a very different role. Enjoyed it.

At first the plot seems rather weird but as the story proceeds on it gets incresingly interesting.At least this isn't the usual love story stuff.It's more humorous and eye-opening to watch Aya acting as a entertainer!!!
2. tobu
cute ueto aya dress up street style and have weird hairstyles bringing up tokyo's fashion heaven shimokita. i like this kind of comedy. I wonder why the viewing rate was soo low.
