seichanThe fall asian drama listing doesn't have many must-see shows, but I'll pick a few to do some preliminary reviews...
Kaseifu no Mita jdrama 1! A spooky and very stoic housekeeper is hired to take care of a household run by an indecisive, recently widowed office worker. He has 4 children. In the first episode we learn that Mita will do anything the client asks of her; even if the 5-year old daughter asks her to commit suicide with her so that the daughter could see her mother in heaven; of course, one of the other children happens by and stops them. Nanako Matsushima's portrayal of the housekeeper reminds me of Takako Matsu's character in Kokuhaku; thus, the spooky. I think this will end up a heart-warming tale of how the family breaks through the housekeeper's robotic demeaner, and maybe how she will help them cope without their mother. Still, it was a good intro episode because of the slightly dark atmosphere. Actually, the wiki entry says this falls under the mystery category, so maybe it won't be the typical family-focused drama. hm.
