Puzzle パズル (2008)

I recently finished watching Puzzle [ パズル ], a J-Drama from 2008. The genre of this drama are mystery, and comedy. This drama have 10 episodes.

The synopsis of the drama was about a woman in her 30s named Misako Ayukawa who was an English teacher who teaches at a Private All-Boys School in Japan. Even through she is an English teacher, she has ironically poor English skills. Throughout the series, you can see that Ayukawa values: herself > students and money > love. In front of her students, she displays arrogance, but acts pleasantly around everyone else. All of the people would says, "You all are so lucky to have such a dedicated, wonderful teacher" to Ayukawa's 3 students. Ayukawa also have some nice points, she possesses a brilliant mind for solving puzzles. Whenever the possibility of rewards and treasure was involved, she gets motivated and ends up tackling various cases on the weekends along with 3 of her top students.

It's such a funny series. My favorite character from the series is the sensei, Ayukawa Misako (played by Ishihara Satomi). Ayukawa top 3 students are: Imamura Shinichi (played by Yamamoto Yusuke), Kanzaki Akira (played by Kimura Ryo), and Tsukamoto Yoshio (played by Nagayama Kento).

I would fully recommend this drama. Not only it's very funny, but interesting as well.
