Gakkou e Ikkou [浅野ゆう子]
Asano Yuko is "The Ultimate comic woman !" :D [Rating: 8/10]
Some JDoramas starring Asano Yuko are : "Love In Paradise", "Light My Heart", and this favorite of mine, "Let's Go To School". She is SO hillarious !! Keep me laughing ! Yeah, maybe sometimes she acts pretty too much, but believe me she is so comical, so "cartoon" (her acting reminds me of the character SAILOR MOON). In "Let's Go To School", beside doing the comical routine, she also has such lovely love chemistry with the character played by Taisho Kase. | Good Combination
