What I loved about the dorama was how Konno-san worked as proofreader and how she inspired the other people in her office. Fortunately, since she is now working in Lassy, we still get to enjoy the fun of proofreading. But on the other hand, it was more about Konno working for Lassy and being stressed-out about it and how she is again herself once she proofreads. Like Tako said " your dream work may not be your vocation". Too bad Tako had so few scenes, because he was a good character.
Other thing that I didn't like in the dorama, and still didn't like in this SP, is Yukito. Very bland character. Konno-san deserved a more lively guy, a guy with stronger personality. Like Tako :(
While I found the whole SP nice but a bit MEH, I loved the ending. Now I want a 2nd season ^_^ (this time about Konno-sa falling in love with another guy that isn't Yukito)

'Your dream doesn't have to be your vocation.'I would say this sentence sums up not only this special but the Pretty Proofreader series as a whole. When you first start it, it seems that this will be the story of a girl pursuing her dream and ultimately succeeding. And it absolutely is. She absolutely pursues her dream throughout the series, and she absolutely finds success in the special. But what this special reinforces for us, and what the series proves to be saying all along, is be open to possibility and change.
The original series has a clear and well-written ending that is satisfying and the creators easily could have left the story there, but this special feels somewhat like a True ending to Pretty Proofreader. We get to see our female lead achieve her dream of becoming an editor for her favorite magazine and be successful at it before realizing...she's just too passionate and good at proofreading to give it up forever.
While I certainly would have been happy to see her thriving as an editor for Lassy, because the writers most definitely could have taken the show in that direction and it would have worked, I have to admit that a part of me wanted her back with the rest of the proofreaders as it just feels like that's where she belongs.
And potential viewers of this drama and drama special, I'm happy to say...
She's back on the proofreading team!
It's a slightly different role from the one she had before, instead of proofreading books, she's now proofreading Lassy itself, but it's the same little office space with the same crew, and it just leaves this wonderfully full, happy feeling in your heart to see them all back together.
This is a ten star drama and a ten star special for me.
