Monster parents-a neologism that denotes parents who repeatedly make unreasonable demands to their children's school and prevent it from functioning normally. Takamura Itsuki is the ace lawyer of a major law firm. One day, she is assigned on a case requested by a school board, and learns of the existence of "monster parents." She meets a parent who wants the school to fire a teacher with a dialect for fear that he may exert bad influence on her child, a parent who insists that her son get a regular position on the soccer team, a parent who refuses to pay the lunch fee because it doesn't taste good and so on. She is, at first, reluctant about this case, but gradually becomes determined to solve the problems. (Source: Fuji TV) Edit Translation

Disappointing

Yonekura Ryoko playing the cool successful lawyer sent out to solve the problems in schools due to unreasonable monster parents, this had so much potential but it failed.

The story started off interesting and the crazy monster parents introduced were interesting. Showed the true unreasonable parents. Then the story could have shown the solutions to match this. But it just showed how the grewt got shot lawyer was helpless, didn’t use any law but only listened to the parents and ran around like a teacher finding kids.

Law part is literally 10%. Just showed how a hot shot lawyer got involved in the new duty and because of sense of justice, she drops her everything and joins the team, even though the character was whining annoyingly throughout the drama.

The last few parts was messy emotionally and also story wise. It solved the issue so randomly and easily by just a speech, which was unrealistic although the drama steered clear of legal side to keep it realistic.

In my honest opinion, I was more annoyed with the way all the cases were concluded. It was a drama so could have given some realistic solution that would make the viewers feel refreshed but nope it failed terribly.

If you haven’t watched it, you’re not missing out. Rewatching 35 sai no Koukousei if you are picking this up for yonekura Ryoko would be a better way to spend time.
