I thought Ep 5 was quite a disaster. It descended into silliness at Asakura's house and never quite recovered. Kinda excruciating to sit through the antics.

I love this drama! I'm a political major and I recently learned about the Japanese government system so I'm having so much fun watching it. I love Kimura <3 Though...my friend fines me a complete dork (which I agree ^^;;) I really like how there are funny moments in the drama and that it isn't completely boring. I can't wait for the 5th episode with subs comes out

Can't be as bad as watching the latest installment of Gukusen.

If memory doesn't fail me, the official line from the tv station was programming strategy.
The rumour mill, citing entertainment insiders, attributed it to the might of Kimura Takuya's manager who forced them into delaying the start of the drama broadcast reportedly to avoid coming head on with Gokusen, which posed the greatest threat in the ratings game. It also was said that she was concerned about the popularity of the drama because of the topic it deals with. There were also production delays.
But it's hard to imagine how Gokusen can affect ratings since it doesn't even air on Mondays.

Other than the interesting facts on Japanese politics, things are way too predictable in this drama. But at least Ep6 is an improvement over Ep5 which stuck out like a sore thumb.
I think I'm actually growing very fond of the old veteran politicans besides sticking in with the drama for Abe Hiroshi and Fukatsu Eri although they seem to be done an injustice given their acting abilities.

Agreed that it's way too predictable
I guess that the ratings threat from Gokusen is not head to head, but rather the week to week ratings king and series average. It looks like Gokusen will definitely win the average, and has won all the wk to wk except for this week.
It's probably the first time, in a LONG time, where kimutaku was in a series that was not the ratings king of the season. Also, Gokusen has very little ratings draw besides Yukie whereas Change has lots of starpower, so I think that this series is underperforming
