"Zenkai Girl" is the first time that Aragaki is playing the main character in a television series, though she has previously had several roles as major secondary characters. In the series, she plays Wakaba, an ambitious international lawyer with dreams of rising to the top. After finding a job at a law office, her boss (Yakushimaru Hiroko) gives her an unexpected assignment: to take care of the boss's 5-year-old daughter. Wakaba is eager to do the task well in order to advance her career. While taking the girl to nursery school, she encounters a young man (Nishikido) who is raising a son after being divorced from his wife. As they both struggle in watching over the kids, love gradually blossoms between them. --- Tokyograph -- DramaWiki

  To be honest I liked the cast more than the actual story. Although the characters were unlikeable at times, the actors really did a great job portraying them. The two kid actors were such a joy to watch. They were too cute! The story was funny in the beginning but kind of dragged in the last couple episodes due to the high development of angst between the main characters. The ending felt rushed but was satisfying. Overall this is really a cute drama with characters you'll come to like.

  I liked this story very much mostly because of the character of Wakaba. Aragaki was able to portray her with such strong mixed feelings. Whenever she let her true feelings show she was such a strong and passionate person. I could share Sota's attraction to her.
  
  Nishikido is such a good actor that I couldn't help sharing Wakaba's exasperation with him.
  
  The story was rushed at the end. In fact it needs a sequel.
  How can Wakaba's dream be realized while still allowing her to remain emotionally whole?
