Synopsis
Nagase Tomoya is a famous pop star with two secrets: He's been keeping the existence of his serious relationship from his fans; and if that wasn't bad enough, he's not nearly as cool as his image makes him out to be. To make life more difficult he has to deal with problems at home: a father who doesn't want him to marry his daughter and family members who might leak his secret.

Wow! This is one of the best series I had ever watch! Very funny & touching at the same time. I never know that Tomoya can be so funny! And after watching this show, I start to like Yuko too. She is so sweet looking & natural in her acting. Looking forward to her new series with Tsuyoshi Domoto.

Watch out for its theme song Hitoribotchi no Haburashi 'cause its mesmerising. Tomoya Nagase was mesmerising too with his mimical face and heart-touching character!

7. Highly Recommended [Rating: 10/10]
Nagase is damn handsome, macho, kawaii, cute and lovely.

In this drama he have 2 different personality.
1- In front the media, he appear as a cool tough guy.
2-The real him, funny, crazy, and family man.

Humm... i prefer the 1st personality!! He look more macho than wearing that spectacle and that hair band? the thing on his head! It is so annoying.

Well i don't really think there is any extreme touching part that will make you cry. I think they just trying to exaggerate the part. I don't think there is anything sad at all.

And the funny part, some of it are cute but some are stupid. Trying to make something not funny, funny. More like a stupid joke.

But oh well, Nagase is a major hunk so i will still give 10/10 to this story. Afterall i love the theme song by Tokio!! Ne~

Since most dramas are love stories there tends to be alot of copy cats and tendencies; but this drama decides to add a very unique and interesting twist! The idea of a ordinary housewife and a pop star makes this drama very interesting and entertaining from the start. Not only did was this drama entertaining but it also taught me alot about the workings of a Japanese family and how they cherish family values. On the other hand this drama also has its pitfalls. I got tired of the "earning trust" theme which the played out too long. Also the main character is both comedic and anoying. However I still recomend this drama to everyone

20. Tugs at the heartstrings [Rating: 10/10]
Very few dramas can deliver such a thick plot and at the same time possess a lot of originality. This drama does both, and therefore it is not surprising so many people, including me, gave it such high remarks. The drama doesn't tread on just one single plot, but three or four, but doesn't confuse you by bringing them out all at once, but rather in single increments, and while one part of the story is taking place, another is developing in the background. Also, the drama doesn't leave anything unfinished, nor does it end it in a rush. I really like it when the drama ties everything in nicely and doesn't leave you wandering or questioning some of the plots. To top it off, it just has so many touching moments that it's hard not to like the drama nor the characters in there! A must see!

Hitoribotchi no Haburashi is also one of the BEST songs I've heard.

Yuichiro gets married in a VERY fast paced first episode. The rest of the episodes, he must conquer one family member per episode. Thus each episode has a memorable storyline with non-stop action. All the characters are loveable, and the excited pace of this drama make it one of the BEST I have seen. (I've seen about 10 full drama) For people with short attention spans that need excitement and need to smile/yell out loud. The soundtrack is awesome as well.

All the artistes seemed to have a great deal of chemistry going on among them..and you'd hardly find any boring moments in it. And of course, Tomoya-kun was able to carry out his role so well you'd find no fault with him. I'd say any fan of J-dorama SHOULDN'T give this a miss.

show started off very well, light hearted and funny and then started to stumble very early on and never got back on track. the middle had too much filler about the uninteresting arai family members, altho the ep with koyuki (from last samurai) was pretty good. final couple eps were total turnoff, no way someone who betray their family over something so petty, no way would a couple so in love breakup at crucial situation. *rolls eyes*

nagase tomoyo - competent but tends to overact alot... does he only know how to sing one song?
Takeuchi Yuko - has the cutest smile ever, very natural performance, not enough for her to do except look cute and sometimes act sad or angry
1st sis - annoying, selfish, ugly
2nd sis - annoying, selfish, boring
3rd sis - annoying, selfish (sense a pattern?), but gets more likable or rather pitiable
lil kid - cute but nothing special
older kid - boring, unlikable
dad - one of the worst fathers ive seen, he's not forceful enough when hes mad and doesnt show enough emotion when hes sad
chief and manager - very well acted and funny, danta-san from good luck is brilliant here


also theres way too many manipulative depressing scenes that involve crying and everyone brooding over how pathetic they are... (at least one per ep) and what kinda @#$% sugarcoated BS ending was that? 'the most disgustly mushy couple in the world' indeed.

It's really between a 6 and a 7 I feel. The show has a number of issues, but at the same time it ahs strengths. I think really the show accomplishes nothing, they end up where they began essentially. Acting is solid and the TWO songs that are in the show are likable, but you may get sick of them. All the characters are done well except the main couple who don't really get much in the ways of development or screentime compared to everyone else. It's a good show sometimes, and sometimes I press pause and go read a comic book for an hour then come back to watch 15 more minutes. Classic cheesy drama, but I'm glad I watched it.

It wasn't exactly the best drama I've seen, but it doesn't mean that I didn't find this drama enjoyable and yet touching at the same time. It was the typical type of drama: cheesy with a bit of comedy. I had a great time watching it though, especially since the drama wasn't all about the love story but it gives special importance to family.

I found Tomoya Nagase really silly, funny and good looking. I was contented with his performance, overall. Takeuchi Yuko is adorable! Sakura got annoying at times for me, but most of the time she was just being cute and hilariously mushy. And a special mention to Shinohara Ryoko, because I thought she stood out and she's absolutely beautiful and very talented. :)

This is a good, heart-felt, family-oriented drama. It has a tendency to go overboard sometimes, but the entire series was really very entertaining. The popstar angle was incredibly funny and I think the series clicked [the first time] because there is an associated fascination with popstars. Tomoya Nagase pulled off the suave-on-the-outside, geek-on-the-inside Sakuraba Yuichiiro very well. I was surprised by the sheer decency of his acting. :p The other family members were also highly interesting... I almost thought everyone was a basketcase. Then I settled to thinking the eldest sister was the crazy one.

It really was very amusing.

A dumbed-down drama in which a pop star invades an ordinary family to play busybody and village idiot. When not acting the buffoon, Nagase Tomoya sputters moralistic speeches as hollow as the music score.

This drama is overrated. If I werenft such a fangirl, I would have given this drama a 7/10, which for me means gmediocreh.

I liked the concept and the storyline wasnft bad, but I found the plot to be drawn out. Especially in the last few episodes. I mean, regardless of the fact that Tomoya-kun AND Yuko-chan were both on screen, I sometimes got bored.

Donft get me wrong. I LIKED the drama. But it could have been two episodes shorter.

The cast was superb. If anything, it was the talent that held my attention. Yuko-chan is, of course, my favourite actress. Period. Tomoya-kun is my ultimate wet-panty-causer. Aside from these two, you have Akiyoshi Kumiko, who plays my favourite character (Kaede); Shinohara Ryoko, who is the most charismatic actress Ifve come across; Utsui Ken, enuff said; and even Kamiki Ryunosuke, who is the cutest lilf boy EVAH.

There were a lot of great moments between the Arai family members and each character was strong and willful. I can understand the high ratings of this show, but I blame these very ratings for causing the writers to draw out an otherwise entertaining drama. >>sigh<<

Watching this at the moment (up till the '4th Try!' [which means the 4th Episode]) ! This drama is extremely, extremely, extremely GOOD! Nagase Tomoya is such a sugoiiiii actor! He can really protrayed Sakuraba Yuichiro well! Frankly speaking, I prefer the kakoii Yuichiro rather than the sloppy one...ee...my personal opinion lah...But then again, the sloppy Yuichiro is very loveable~ ^_^ Anyway, back to the plot....it's about this guy called "Sakuraba Yuichiro" who is a huge superstar. In front of the screens, he is a very cool and suave guy. Girls drool over him~ But in real life, he's just a normal and simple guy. In fact, he's those sloppy type who wears glasses, hairbands and huge sweaters. Besides that, he also has a sweet girlfriend, Sakura whom he know for 6 months. One day, he proposed to Sakura and Sakura agrees!! ^_^ That's where the story start whereby Yuchiro have to go through a lot of funny obstacles in order to be with dear Sakura-chan! ^_^ First family, then the media...Each episode has its own story! This drama is really humourous at times and certain scenes are very, very touching! I love the song sang by Yuichiro in this drama! Absolutely fabulous!!!!!!! People please! Get this drama and drool over kakoii Nagase Tomoya!!! ^_^

Nagase is damn handsome, macho, kawaii, kakkoii, cute and lovely.

In this drama he have 2 different style.
1- In front of the media, he acted as a cool tough guy.
2-The real him, funny, crazy, and family man.

Humm... how much i prefer the 1st personality!! He look more macho than wearing that spectacle and the thing on his head! It is so annoying.

Well i don't really think there is any extreme touching part that will make you cry. -_-

And the funny part, some of it are cute but some are stupid. Trying to make something not funny, funny. More like a stupid joke.

But oh well, Nagase is a major hunk so i will still give 10/10 coz its a nice drama to watch~. i also love the theme song by Tokio!! Ne~

I adore the show! Partly because the plot was very interesting and also because of the change in character in Sakurabara/Arai Yuichiro when he is working and at home.

Funny + Romantic + Happy Ending
LESSON: Love can change us a lot. Even you look very² nice-looking, pretty & handsome but you always do a lot of “stupidest” things in the world when you fall in love

Nagase Tomoya and Takeuchi Yuko were great. The rest of the cast was great too. The funny and emotional moments are timed perfectly. A very interesting story line about the diffenent personalities of a rock star. The subtle things there threw in were great. i.e. the couple's clothings, how they talk on the phone etc.

hilarious yet kakkoii…a r/ship that couldn't possibly happen to ordinary ppl like us!
9. Comments by Eyrien* [Rating: 5/10]
Interesting drama where you get to see Nagase Tomoya act really "kakkoi" and REALLY "dasai" He stars as a popular male singer/songwriter who although outward appearances show him as kakkoi, in reality he's a big "dasai" nerd, who'd cute in a dorky way. He falls in love with a normal girl, proposes to her, and then they have to deal with her family and his popularity, and not letting the secret of their engagement slip out into the general public. Really not a bad drama at all, just for some reason not my type.

I felt very good watching this drama. Never came across a story like quite like this one.
11. Comments by dnie [Rating: 9/10]
Nagase plays a top pop superstar who looks darn kakko ii in they eye of
public and fans but his other face, that only his closest and loved ones can see,
is a quirky, too-happy and perhaps annoying, but very much lovable and
a person hungry for love and attention. So when he met the love of his life,
Sakura, he cant think of anything but to marry her. Well, Sakura has all the qualities that
he seeks, besides being very kawaii, she is full of love. The comedy starts when
Sakuraba Yuiichiro has to marry in Sakura's family in order to be a part of family.
He has to convince them how worthy he's to be their family member-the father is not
keen on him, the oldest sis is a business freak, the second is allergic to men, the third is
manipulative. He also has this cho kakko ii teenage niece fallin in love with his
class teacher(again!) and the youngest niece who is sided coz he's no father.
The dorama shows how he works hard to prove himself and to be accepted in the
family as what he is. I give this dorama a thumb and recommended for everybody!
oh, dont forget the haunting "Hitoribochi Haburashi" to add in your collection
of good J-Ent songs. sigh *dreamy*

This is an enjoyable and loveable series. The love between Yuichiro and Sakura is really sweet and genuine and all the members of Sakura's family are really awesome too, from the father to the sisters to the grandsons. Has a lot of silly, cute, funny and touching moments.
21. Comments by Jalapeno [Rating: 10/10]
Here's Tokio's frontman Nagase Tomoya acting oh-so-loony when he's with "love-of-his-life" Takeuchi Yuko. A notable comedic performance by Nagase - from a ubercool Japanese pop idol to a slobbering, lovestruck boyfriend Sakuraba Yuichiro of Arai Sakura. Pretty neat, really. And it does remind you of "Notting Hill" but to a much comedic level. :)
22. Comments by yume [Rating: 7/10]
A solidly amusing story with new battles to be tackled every episode. It never gets totally boring, but it never gets extremely, psychotically good either. Nagase Tomoya and Takeuchi Yuko have the cutest chemistry though!

47. Comments by Tokeida Yuji [Rating: 9/10]
Very humorous and charming story
48. Comments by Szabotage [Rating: 9/10]
Really funny, really sappy. Nagase Tomoya shines as a pop star who in his heart is really a nerd longing for a cozy home. I laughed until I cried every time he and Takeuchi Yuko did their disgustingly cute couple routine, especially at the reactions of all the relatives and his managers. Good stories, too, especially the one about the brother. Very much a feel-good drama!
49. Comments by bellagy [Rating: 8/10]
very funny Tomoya rocks
50. Comments by Hoshi [Rating: 8/10]
The idea for this show is fresh, and I like it. Nagase's portrayal of Sakuraba is kinda OTT, but I suppose it compliments quite well with Takeuchi's Sakura. The storyline is pleasant, with every episode concluding something. The family here is better than that in the second Mukodono. And unfortunately, the super-star-with-boy-next-door-character idea got stale on the second installment as well.
51. Comments by kisekied [Rating: 8/10]
Nagase's character are a bit similar to Kotoko in Itazura Na kiss. hmm..

60. Comments by michiru3 [Rating: 10/10]
no need to say more. you just GOT to watch this. Nagase Tomoya surprised me with this role and he's super funny. a must watch drama for everyone. at first, some characters were annoying (like Kaede) but they got better and i end up liking everyone basicly. i am NOT gonna watch Mukodono 2004 b/c i liked the original too much and I dont want a sequel that's not really a sequel but just a retelling of the same story to mess me up. my 2nd fave dorama thus far.

This show is good! BUT...I can't stand when Sakuraba Yuichiro kept breaking down at almost every episode! So i watched it for the sake of Tomoya Nagase coz he is cho kakkoii!

Another highly enjoyable drama. Filled with very touching scenes and also very funny in places. I love it when he acts all cool YOSH!!~ and then when Sakura calls, claps boths his hands on his geeky face and yells out SAKURA!!~

A very nice family comedy. The story is a bit unbelievable, but the acting is great and everyone is sooo lovable.

The ending is sooooo moving and can truly bring tears to your eyes.

A great drama, this where the magic of Japanese drama come from.

pretty annoying but very touchy as well
71. Comments by Jeanxi [Rating: 7/10]
Laughed and cried in every episode. Even though they do have some problems with their logic and it's totally cheesy, I still managed to like it due to Nagase's hotness =P
72. Comments by Nermal [Rating: 8/10]
At first I couldn't stand the silliness of Yuichiro (Nagase's character) but I've grown to like him thoughout the series. Some parts are very touching and I was also surprised to see Aiba in this drama about superstars dating since he himself, had a similar story come out in 2002. (although without the happy end). Very nice drama! Just a tad over-acted maybe.. ^^; Still worth the watch.. don't expect anything too serious..
73. Comments by arashilove [Rating: 10/10]
The perfect family drama. The plot is unique and interesting, the characters are all so appealing and hilarious. My favourites were Kaede, Satsuki, Tsutomu, and of course Yu-chan and Sakura! Their adoration for each other was charming. The last two episodes are very sad, though.

83. Comments by kiba92 [Rating: 8/10]
This drama is great. I love Nagase Tomoya, he is so cute and adorable in this show. Mukodono is a typical japanese drama which each eposide is dedicated to help a family member/friend in the time of need. Overall the drama is good, but I am little disappointed at the ending. I think the ending was kind of abrupt because they did not tied up all the loose ends.

87. Comments by Longman [Rating: 9/10]
Nagase is throughly wacky as cool superstar idol one moment and mushy husband the next. Takeuchi Yuko has also left me a good impression as the cute and loving wife. "Hitoribotchi no Haburashi" is really a gem of a song, Nagase/Sakuraba's longing voice brings out the most touching moments of this series.
88. Comments by ryce [Rating: 9/10]
Good family entertainment... Nice theme songs... Nagase's off-screen persona is very silly, yet likeable ;)

A 6, 6.5, maybe?! Very melodramatic and a tad predictable. A light-hearted watch for big Nagase fans. Must note that Aiba was very adorable in this dorama! Especially in the pink rabbit suit! ^^

I expected a lot from this drama & to say it was a disappointment would be wrong. It's good & I almost watched it in one day. And the cast is excellent. I just felt that they could've got much more out of it.

a very meaningful/touching drama LLOl..its touching in a funny way kinda..but the moments are deep although sometimes i think its a little too cheezy..i think this is a great drama! it teaches you alot of things in life..and even near the end where i thought the main characters didnt get each other..i usually hate when that happens but not in this drama!! my favorite character in here is probably Satsuki the 3rd sis!!

the leads are terrific and make a nice couple. they seem to genuinely care of each other. tomoya is competent altho he tends to overact alot, yuko has the cutest smile and is very sweet. the rest of the arai family are totally unlikable, their very annoying, selfish, and dull. it gets worse when the story becomes centered around them. the manager and chief are very funny tho. ending was kinda stupid. totally ridiculous that masaki would do that to his own family, more ridiculous that they would break up at a time of crisis, and also stupid that the lil boy gets ill for no reason.

Best drama I have seen in ages! Nagasa Tomoya is so funny in this and don't forget about his co-star, the very underrated Takeuchi Yuko. They both made a great 1-2 punch in this very touching drama and the plot was very sincere too. Also kudos to the rest of the all star cast. My new number 1 drama! :D

Great series with comedy, drama, and romance intertwined together in a most fantastic plot. Just as the synopsis implies, it deals with a man who deals with two identities: his famous self, Sakuraba Yuichiro, and his family side, Arai Yuichiro. The drama parts were magnificently done and some situations made more realistic and touching than other dramas that I have seen. I absolutely loved this show and the last episode brought me to tears. It's a must watch!

Just Finished Watchin Mukodono..!Sugoi Des Yo!!! The Cast Was Super Perfect Wif Yuko Takeuchi Lookin So Cute As Usual ,Nagese Tomoya Wif A Superb Performance ,And To Top It All....It was Funny And Touching plus a cool soundtrack performed by Nagase Tomoya himself..I wonder how Mukodono 2003 can top the old mukodono..

Excellent, amazying chemistry between Nagase and the lead girl (she is not traditionally petty but more cute) I have hardly seem more passionate kissing...that was suprising. Nagase is so so funny and the supporting cast and the sound track are excellent. Absolutely no complaints about this. Watch it!

Another of my all time favourite (ranked way up there wif GTO)... this is one drama tt cannot be missed.... i was crying during nearly every episodes (as was the case wif mukodono 2003) and this show is funni like hell too... loved the role of yuichiro sakuraba (nagase tomoyo is way too likable in this role)... takuechi yuko is also veri likable and sweet as his wife..... i personally loved shinohara ryoko (too bad she's not tt popular in japan), so seeing her in this show was a big bonus.... lastly, the song "Hitoribotchi no Haburashi" is juz too nice!!!

Kyaa.. At the end of that clip they show at the beginning of each show, he looks like the Nerd then turns into the Rock Star, and *winks* WINKS! OH GOD, so hot. No matter how many times I saw him do that, it still gets to me. A terrific drama. Freaking funny. I see Takeuchi Yuko on the cast list, but don't really remember her in the drama. Weird. Maybe she looked different and I didnt recognise her..

Love the family interaction. Sometimes Nagase Tomoya overacts which makes me irritated. Cried buckets in the comeback concert scene. Discovered too that Tomoya is cute!

Hehe, too much crying even though its comedy oriented
140. Comments by Taurmindo [Rating: 10/10]
so extremely touching drama. the deeper the story envolved the harder it was watching it knowing you would cry at least once during the next episode. i guess i only "saw" half of the last episode. terrific acting, great story, classic "fix one problem/episode" layout and great development of the relations. a clear have-to-see.

Didn't really like this drama that much from the start. I found it to be a little too corny. But after watching a few more episodes, I got used to the cheese and I really started to like it. It's really touching and really funny.

SAKURABA & SAKURA JUST A GOOD COMBINATION. CUTE COUPLE. SUCH A HILARIOUS DRAMA.
158. Comments by madsky [Rating: 7/10]
I enjoyed this drama. I cried many times, and laughed as well. The last few episodes, in my opinion, were outstanding. The episodes where Yuichiro would help a different family member were enjoyable, don't get me wrong, but I just feel that theme has been done before. Yuichiro (Nagase) and Sakura (Takeuchi) were adorable together, it was cute how they acted so mushy. I'm a fan of Takeuchi, and this was my first time seeing Nagase, and I like him now as well. The supporting cast was good too, yay for Aiba Masaki!
159. Comments by Alatariel [Rating: 9/10]
Highly enjoyable drama. Contrast of the 'cool' & 'uncool' Yuichiro is hilarious. Focused on family stuff which i like.
160. Comments by Susan [Rating: 5/10]
As far as ridiculous dramas go, this one takes first prize! From this point on I will never be able to take Nagase Tomoyo seriously. But at the same time, he should be praised for his undeniable mastery of portraying completely unbelievable and stupid characters. At times I found this series mildly amusing, and it's not completely unwatchable, but sometimes it just went way too over the top! I'll pass on Mukodono 2003.
161. Comments by Jessicasoon [Rating: 10/10]
sakuraba yuichiro is the best! even thou i admit i bought this show with the intention of watching aiba masaki. haa!!! ryo is really cute too!!! and yuko's smiles are always at the best in this show. her chemistry wif nagase is very gd too!

I haven't watched this one although I've bought it for quite sometime. I'm waiting for my obsession with Sakuraba in the 2003 one fades a bit so I can enjoy the 1st Sakuraba better. But maybe that's never going to happen.

A very weak show, there is a lot going for it, but it really doesn't have the quality writing or pacing on other dramas. Acting is good, but for a show about a musician, it is a shame to only have the into song and the one song the main character sings. It's worth a watch I guess, but only if you've got nothing else or don't want to see Pride or Dekichatta Kekkon another time.

181. Comments by Tu_triky [Rating: 8/10]
A feel good comedy with it's share of heart ache and pain. A bit formulaic in its execution but nonetheless enjoyable to watch. If you've seen Otousan and/or Oyaji don't expect something fresh but if you enjoy indulging in those types of shows this is one drama you can't afford to miss! Great acting by both male and female leads respectively. I really enjoyed Ryoko Shinohara as Satsuki (nee-chan) Arai. Pulled off the cool, well-finished woman off perfectly!! O, just watch it...you'll like it :)

This is the 2nd jdrama that I watched. The only jdrama that made me cry. Although the plot gets tedious at times, Tomoya Nagase totally makes up for it. His role as Sakuraba Yuichiro was spotless, and it helps that he's the hottest man in the world ^^

Great show. Has it's hilarious moments. It's more a kawaii show. Yuko and Nagase were great in here. A truly believable couple. The theme song is one of the best in the Jdorama world. Haburashi.... :-) you know the rest ;-)

Recommended drama. Even has it's villian too, which I think every decent show kinda needs. Gives it an extra kick. The show can be a little over the top. But it's a minor complaint.
191. Comments by bigfire [Rating: 9/10]
The best drama I've seen in a long time! The characters are bright, funny, and at times powerful, and the story, while not completely unpredictible, takes the family drama situation from a new angle. It plays on all your emotions from beginning to end and reminds you why you love watching this stuff!

Absolutely love this one. The silly yu-san is cute and loveable while the all dashing sakuraba yuichiro is .. ahem .. so kakkoi! A great story about the importance of family. It reminds us once again what really is important in life -- not money, nor fame, but FAMILY!!

The toothbrush song is great too, by the way!!

My #1 favorite thing is the soundtrack. It is really touching. Nagase Tomoya is a great actor, playing two totally different roles. His artist look is so cool & hot. I would have been one of those crazy fan girls. As for his home look, he is such a cute dork. I enjoyed a lot. Something didn't make it a homerun for me though. Maybe it is because I never saw the power of Yuko's acting yet. It is still a highly recommanded family/comedy/romance drama.
233. Comments by Sailorprinzess [Rating: 10/10]
After watching My Boss My Hero, I wanted to watch more of Tomoya Nagase's dramas, so I came across this one. I'm glad I did. After the first episode, I was hooked. It's such a light-hearted and sweet drama. The chemistry between the two leads is just amazing, and the plots of each episode don't drag. All in all, it's a great drama. I totally recommend it! ^_^

Love Nagase for his goofyness, loved Yuko for her adorable-ness. Both great actors - the story was good too.
Nagase's facial expressions and extreme of characters is so funny and when he's in a scene with Yuko - aah the cuteness overflows. :3

247. Comments by BOGCHI [Rating: 7/10]
There are moments where it'll make you "roll on the floor laughing", but the beginning of each episodes are the only interesting parts. Then it just drags on until the last 5 minutes of the episode - the resolution.
Okay, maybe I exaggerated a little. Really.. it's not that bad.
Nagase Tomoya did a great job on it. It's funny how he goes from "baka" to serious before going out in public. His interaction with Takeuchi Yuko is something to look forward too, expecially when they're talking on the phone. The whole family did a great job portraying their charaters. Overall, the story is fun and touching but gets boring at times.

250. Comments by ScrappedShinigami [Rating: 8/10]
Wah I really enjoyed this drama it was light-hearted and sweet.
Nagase was fantastic as Yu-Chan it always made me laugh a little in shock that he could go from being the cool, hunky Sakuraba Yuchiro to the geeky, uber cute, track suit wearing Yu-chan. He was funny and adorable. This is the first drama I have seen Yuko Takeuchi in and she was absolutely adorable. It's hard not to love her.
All the supporting cast were fantastic too by the end of the show I really liked and felt for all of the characters. It was interesting to see how people changed as Yuchiro touched their lives.
Anyway it's a must watch, it's not too deep and not too angsty (the angst is upped in the last couple of eps but it's nothing really major). Just nice light-hearted family fun! ^_^

the concept of the drama is pretty good ~ like superstar on the outside but goofy crazy guy inside~ haha
Nagase Tomoya is his baka self and he can also be very charismatic ahah~
‚‰@watched this marathon in like 2 days~ but i find the ending a bit BLEH~ about the bro and stuff~ but the beg was def pretty good~ had funny times and touching times hehe
Also the couple was cute ~ the KID IS SO CUTE!( i recognize him in GakuenQ !! ) and of course Shinohara Ryoko is always good actress..~
if you want to watch Mudokono, what this not the 03 version ~ i couldn't even stand 1 epi of that ~ that was is so BLEH)
recommended!

The beginning was interesting, but the more I watched, the more it became boring. It was little bit too "slow", I expected more romance although I read some reviews which says it is more about family. If it showed the scenes, when the couple first met and the following scenes it would be more interesting!
But the Yuichiro was great, his acting skills of the two different personalities was amazing! It's awesome seeing him acting the cool one!

Nagase Tomoya at his best!

Full of HOT STUFF from tomoya and the drama is heart-warming.

Hilarious and touching too! Nagase was hot as the cool rock star and even the dorky obnoxious guy! He and Yuko were the cutest couple, even if they got a little too sickeningly sweet with the matching sweatshirts and stuff.

I just hate pathetic male lead. And no, don't ever recommend Densha Otoko to me. The comedy is the saving grace but not enough to make me rate it past "above average".

Nagase Tomoya (My Boss, My Hero) funny&touching! Moves in with his bride's family helping each with issues that in the end bring all closer together.

Nice but may get dragging...funny reactions...sweet scenes, which may get too mushy...
287. Comments by Lochly [Rating: ?/10]
I cannot rate this series in it's entirety as I have not had the chance to finish it.

This is one of the poor victims of my flamboyantly procrastinate near-drunken lifestyle of my evolving early 20's.

what i love most about Nagase's acting abilities are put onscreen in this drama. the fact that he can be so silly & cute as Yu-chan then so calm, collected, & cool as Yuichiro amazes me. it's 2 polar opposite personalities that Nagase portrays wonderfully.
289. Comments by outlaws0025 [Rating: 8/10]
nagase is really hilarious in this dorama and it made me really happy watching it:)
290. Comments by Sorata [Rating: 7/10]
This is a great dorama, every episode Tomoya helps a member of his "new" family to solve their problems and deepens the bounds with them. Very well balanced between comedy and drama, a must watch to everyone.
IMO Nagase Tomoya is that kind of actor that actually makes a big diference, his screen presence and acting are just...diferent, unlike most actors not everyone could play his parts like him.

Great ^^. Takeuchi Yuko is amazing, and I loved her with Nagase ^^
293. Comments by dbesthair23 [Rating: 10/10]
This was an amazing drama, I could watch this again anytime. Nagase is a great actor.
294. Comments by flamethunder85 [Rating: 8/10]
Aw...Yuko kawaii!! It's always been a pleasure to watch Yuko on screen. Very lovable. The story touches much on family values, which I like. Just that sometimes it's too good to be true, for e.g. it's always Yu-chan that solves all the problems, that made him the man all the time, but I guess that's the purpose of this story. Worth watching.
295. Comments by Nat [Rating: 8/10]
Nagase was do cute, switching from funny and serious all the time! This drama got me vrying in the first episode, very good, the only thing is that sometimes the megastar oart was too off the story.
296. Comments by CheeSauce [Rating: 8/10]
Mukodono is a really cute light hearted love story. It is generally comedic but does get a bit serious at the end. All of the actors are extremely great and Nagase plays his role perfectly, definitely would recommend this drama!

Though at times I found it annoying and boring as well as repetitive, overall it was a nice, heartwarming series.
300. Comments by nishishi [Rating: 7/10]
Finally watched the first one... Well.. the story is better than the second one... but the characters were better in the second one. All the rest is pretty like the same.... Nagase's char helping each family member withe their problems and showing them the importance of family. They could probably work more on the eldest brother..... his part on the story was to plain and dull.... Nways... its worth watching....

this one was far better than 2003...why did they even make 2003?

Man...this is da best drama i ever watched..
Well,it's not about those love triangles,adultery or teenage love..
This story is about a love dat happens in reality not like those mushy mushy stuff...
Well,besides dat it also included all those family values and stuff..
Anyway..Mukodono is da best!!!

Soooo funny!! Nagase Tomoya was incredible here! I was so amazed by his acting, I never realized he could act like this but still be so believable! Takeuchi Yuko was good here too, when she smiles, she looks sooo much like a petite Matsushima Nanako. Great cast in general. Very nice story and very very very rememberable songs.

Nagase Tomoya is too cool!! It's hilarious watching 2 sides of his character!
75. PepeLePiu
This is my 2nd favorite drama after GTO because it is just as if not more fast paced and funny, each story he must conquer new family member. You will be yelling "Yosh!" with the main character everytime something good happens (often). Last three episodes a bit sentimental though(thats ok). Awesome characters to look at and laugh, nonstop action you will be smiling *out loud*

106. Marcel
very good drama
107. Taurmindo
so extremely touching drama. the deeper the story envolved the harder it was watching it knowing you would cry at least once during the next episode. i guess i only "saw" half of the last episode. terrific acting, great story, classic "fix one problem/episode" layout and great development of the relations. a clear have-to-see.
108. pcmodem
So well done... good acting, terrific story, even the cinematography and editing and lighting were first rate. Nagase Tomoya was hilarious as Sakuraba/Arai Yuchiro.

134. Yumechan
It is a very touching drama about a megastar, who gets married, but has to keep it a secret because of his popularity. You can see how hard this is for him and his wife.
But it is also a very funny drama most of the time. Because Sakuraba Yuichiro (the megastar) is very cool on stage and in puplic, but when he is at home, he is a happy-go-lucky - and acts like a little child sometimes <3
The acting of Nagase and all the other actors is also very good! This drama is really worth watching!!!!
135. lisajayne
A bit over the top but with its heart in the right place
136. Yankumi-Fan
Funny, sad, and touching..one of the best dramas I've seen. The main actors portray their roles so well and bring so much life to the characters. Sakura could have turned out to be really annoying but Takeuchi Yuko did it so well. A+++++

Nagase Tomoya is as funny as usual. It's amusing to see him wearing a pair of pink pyjamas. I'm used to see him as a Yakuza. It took me aback.
