Synopsis and Cast
"“Switch Girl!!” is a manga series by Aida Natsumi that currently runs in Shueisha’s magazine Margaret and has sold close to 5 million copies total. The story revolves around a high school student named Nika (Nishiuchi Mariya) who appears to be a stylish and fashionable girl at school, but that’s really a fake persona that she uses when she’s in public. At home, she “switches off” the facade and her returns to her true slovenly nature. Kiriyama Renn (26) plays the good-looking transfer student Arata, who is Nika’s love interest in the story.
The drama series will begin airing on satellite channel Fuji TV TWO on December 24, which is Nishiuchi’s 18th birthday. -" Tokyography
My review:Picked up this drama randomly ever since I stopped Japanese drama. And I like it! Enjoyable..watch at your own pace or watch it in one go, it's addictive. However, if you are not into comedy, pure leisure kind of drama, this might not be your cup of tea.
As said in the synopsis, the drama setting is in high school. The chemistry of the overall cast is good. If you read the comics, you would have realized how close the live action tried to stick to the comics. However, there are some chapters that they changed (which I think I would have prefer if they did not changed)
The Surprising Information:- About Kiriyama Ren (portraying as Arata) he is actually 26! I was thinking he was at most 20/21. I first saw him in Kamen Rider W as a detective. And now he revert to high school character!
-Did I not mentioned there were season 1 and 2?
