Synopsis
Tamura Masakazu plays the single father of four daughters (Iijima Naoko, Nakatani Miki, Hirosue Ryoko and Fukada Kyoko).

Having raised his daughters alone for the past 10 years, he's lost sight of their needs and instead reverts to yelling and lecturing them. All four daughters, each with their own unique personalities, start rebelling in their own way, especially when their father decides to remarry a woman they have never met.

this was a very good show. nearly every episode a tear jerker.

2. Pretty Good [Rating: 8/10]
This is probably a sequel to Oyajii, which also starred Tamura Masakazu and Hirosue Ryoko. Otousan was less light-hearted but was equally entertaining. How can you not like a drama with Iijima Naoko, Nakatani Miki, Hirosue Ryoko and Fukada Kyoko. I highly recommend this one.

I thought that this show was one of the best shows I've ever watched! Almost all of my favourite actresses were in it! Like Fukada Kyoko and Iijima Naoko. I think that both of them looked very pretty, especially Iijima Naoko

a very solid 8, this series. very well produced. at first, i have to admit, i only got it to see fukuda and Iijima-san. but as the story developed, i really got into it. there were a couple of places that were a bit predictable, but in what doramas there aren't any? :)

9. Better than Oyaji [Rating: 7/10]
Kind of an Oyaji II. Otousan is a bit better though, I think. The story and the characters are more intersting to follow and there are more emotional moments in this one. To run a sobashop is also more original than beeing a doctor. Can't be easy to be the father of 4 daughters...scary.
Well, you get the usual family drama, tears, joy, disagreements, reconciliation and with the happy end.
7,5 is my exact rating.

Excellent family dorama feeling very much like a continuation of Oyaji. With another top-notch cast of Iijima Naoko, Nakatani Miki, Tamura Masakazu and Hirosue Ryoko, what's there not to like? The music was rather interesting with a latin-esque flair and the plot was different enough from Oyaji to keep my interest but with enough similarities on many of the strong points to make this dorama just as enjoyable. Two thumbs up!

17. ok... [Rating: 8/10]
The first 4 episodes were slow.... but then the pace picked up. I stayed with it only because one of my favorites Fukada Kyoko is in it. I was not disappointed in her interpretation of the part she was playing. Actually, all the girls were terrific. and the father was superb. Can only give it an 8 though because it takes determination to stay with it for the first 4 episodes.

18. Better Than I Thought [Rating: 8/10]
I was turned off by this drama right away for numerous reasons. 1) It stars Tamura Masakazu, who I find annoying given my limited experience with him, 2) the show seemed almost identical to Oyaji, and 3) the plot was very boring in the first few episodes. I didn’t find it terrible. It just seemed really dull.

Near the middle of the drama my opinion changed. There are two huge factors that differentiate this drama from Oyaji. One is the amazing set of characters that make up the father’s daughters, and the other are the actresses who play them.

Tamura aside, the casting was great. I love Iijima Naoko and her character ended up being my favourite. Although I found Nakatani Miki’s character a little boring, as an actress I was really impressed and look forward to watching more of her dramas. I’ve only ever enjoyed Hirosue Ryoko in Summer Snow, but I can now add this drama to her list. Fukada Kyoko maintained her pouty, talentless disposition, but she was the perfect spoiled brat and so I think she was appropriately class. If anything, she’s kawaii and can play the piano beautifully.

The plot was very cookie-cutter, but this doesn’t matter. It was just fun to watch the characters be who they are and observe them interacting with each other. I can only imagine what it was like on set with such charismatic female talents.

AN A+ CAST but a D- Script! Pretty weak on story, I wonder why those four actresses even accepted this drama(maybe they got paid more).Funny at times but I thought the story was just circling around some simple things. Which is kinda sad that they couldn't come up with a better story for each sisters in this drama. Hirosue was FUNNY though! so that's a positive^_^.

I watched this summer of 2003 while I was living with my father. (Before Asahi Homecast ruined their schedual and were playing Dorama or something else cool EVERY night! ;_;) I found that I could relate to the girls, especially about being protective of their Dad. Was really cute and really fun to watch, Glad I got to see it.

Probably the most star-studded cast I've ever seen: Tamura Masakazu, Iijima Naoko, Nakatani Miki, Hirosue Ryoko AND Fukada Kyoko. Whew! A heart-warming story about a widower (Tamura) and his four, very different daughters. All I can say is, watching this made me want to thank my parents and let them know I love them. Oh, and the song, "Clover," by Cune is AWESOME.

35. Comments by DragonSpirit164 [Rating: 8/10]
Hmmm, enjoyable drama even though it is a little too slow moving for my liking. Storyline is similar to that of Oyaji, about a father taking care of his family, but this time without a wife. Naturally, the family gets into as many mishaps as possible along the way haha.. Shoulda got a 7 from me, but the star studded cast of Iijima Naoko, Nakatani Miki, Hirosue Ryoko and Kyoko Fukada was a joy to watch. Not as good as Oyaji IMO, but nice to watch nevertheless..

A nice family show but sometimes a little too melodramatic. Loved the hilarious Makoto and Hide subplot, but Kei's self-conceit really got on my nerves. Is it just me, or did FukaKyo's make-up seem very weird when she worked at the nightclub? Her eyebrows looked funny.

Heart-warming...sentimental plot, especially between Shindo and Anzai -- the picture would have been better if he just cracked a smile ne ne?? I really like Outousan ^.^

I can relate to Makoto's and Akira's story in some ways -- everyone can relate to the four daughters' stories somehow...such a good quality to have in order to make a series give that "umph" effect *_^

Good family drama, brings up a lot of issues relating to choosing one's path in life and following your dreams and making sacrifices. Lunch at Miyuki Soba sounds good, ne?

has an all-star cast.. but the story is pretty predictable as it is quite a cliche family drama... if u like the cast, then watch it and see the diff kind of roles the stars portray (e.g. hirosue as an inert and submissive girl)..but other than that, it doesn't have much to offer.

Almost an exact replica of Oyaji. Despite that, judging by the acting and the story/acting, this series is deserving of an 8.5, just like Oyaji. Excellent acting once again by Tamura Masakazu and Hirosue Ryoko and Iijima Naoko and Nakatani Miki were great additions to the cast. Music was light-hearted and fun and there were plenty of things happening in the plot to keep you entertained.

Another funny Tamura Masakazu dorama that pairs him with Ryoko Hirosue again (from Oyaji) and other fine performers that has a story plot that generally goes along the lines as Oyaji with a different family make-up. This dorama influenced my wife and I to try buckwheat soba (excellent, by the way)! Had a chuckle when Tamura and Ryoko Moriyama were singing the theme song to Oyaji (i.e. "Sayonara Daisukina Hito" by Hana Hana) in the koraoke house! Bottom line: if you enjoyed Oyaji, you'll like this one!

Great drama! Even though the story always revolves around the family, I think this drama has a really nice touching story... Masakazu Tamura's (the one played otousan) acting is really great...!!!

Nice family drama. It's about day-to-day life of 4 daughters with their stubborn dad who cannot express his love n care to his children.

It's quite a reamke of Oyaji~ with same main actor. An widowed father of four daughters struggles to tighten the family bonds. Features good chemistry between the actors, but there's nothing special.

This should of been a fun show but Tamura Masakazu was a just a bit too annoying to enjoy the whole series...It must be quite difficult to have a arrogant father like him......

if i hadn't watched oyaji, i'd probably give this a higher rating... so watch this show before giving oyaji a go.
the characters here are less likeable. in oyaji, it was reasonable for the children to rebel against their extremist dad, but here, the daughters seem to rebel without much cause. i also did not like kyoko fukada's character nor did i understand her problems. less chemistry between all the actors and the characters' problem seem too trivial. my fave would have to be ryoko hirosue who ironically was my least fave in oyaji.

Tamura and Hirosue gave a great performance in this one. The plot was kind of boring though.

This drama was far better than Oyaji and I really enjoyed the female characters.
