Great drama! Has the whole "family" issue embedded all over ti! Loved this drama! Yada Akiko is so damn fine in it too! I'd say comparing this to G.T.O., Sorimachi's acting has improved a lot! He's still got a long way to go but it's good to see that it's improving!!!

ahh.. am so sorry to manami!! honto honto ni gomenasai na~

watched the drama for the 2nd time and realised i have not give a review for this great x3 show....

okie.. firstly: plot /story is good... not fantastic, is the kind of family show that will keep the audience chasing etc., but not original..

story is good, the actors, takashi is okie... believe that it can be improved. soshite, the lead actress (or 2nd?), akiko is good in bringing out the show... i find her quite funny most of the times.. :)

nanami~~~ i really like her.. she is just grreeeaat!.. cute and good at acting, at least for such an age.. :)

Of course, bought the show because of manami aka shima... she is really good at her acting!! superb :) :) and i would think that she is the most kawaii actress, besides the little kid..
great that she can act in this show, with at least a few more scenes, compared to most of her previous shows.. yokatta!!

may have said this numereous times.. but pls support manami!!
manami!! manami!! ....

Dam, i could not put this one down. I just kept on watching. I'd like to call this drama GTO from the back end. You take Onizuka sensei, milk of him of all the unorthodox methods of GTO (this is not a school drama however), and add in his cute kid with no mama. Good family drama even though it's not truely your normal family. You could feel the warmth of the family often and it's nice to see people always doing their best.

14. Above average [Rating: 7/10]
A family drama with decent plots. It's an entertaining show. At times too much moralizing, not nesessary to point out that clearly. Another thing that bothered me a bit was Enzos constant pestering about his daughter Nanami whenever Misuzu's around. Where I live that's a deathsin to do on a date. And a girl of Akiko Yadas caliber deserves slightly more attention....don't u think?
Anyway, this drama's still good, above average and well worth my time. To me, 7,5 would seem like an exact rating.

I thought the story was good , based off of a manga, just a few things made it seem weird, like having Sorimachi Takashi play the role of Dad, and Oldest brother, I kept seeing him as a very angry guy, but through much of the episodes his character changes and so did my opinion of him....the girl playing Nanami is SO cute and fits perfectly with the character in the story with the disease "atopi"....

this is one of the best dramas ive seen. each ep is self contained heart warming tale. the characters plays off each other wonderfully. takashi shows alot of charisma and is real cool, a more subdued onizuka? nanami is really cute and acts way better than i could have imagined for someone her age. the supporting cast is terrific, akiko was very funny and looked hot, her expressions were priceless, esp when shes drunk ^^
of course the standout is manami, im glad she finally got more screen time, shes very beautiful in this and shows she can act too. go manami!!

overall very touching, a must see unless you have a heart of stone ;)

I was quite skeptical at first, thinking that it was some cheesy family drama and that pple were only watching it because of the actors/actresses. Man was I wrong. To anyone who's wondering if they shld watch it or not. My advice is: if at any point in your life, you have been unhappy over favourtism, over protective family members, not being able to fit in sch, or have fun with your friends this is the one show that you can really relate to. Watch, laugh, cry, smile at this unique family as they address problems faced by almost everyone.

24. A Superb Family Drama [Rating: 10/10]
This drama series exceeded all expectations that I had for it. Sorimachi Takashi shines in this series in his portrayal of the protective and loving, Enzo. At first I thought that this was going to be a typical family drama, but it wasn't. It was much more than just that.

Each of the family members did a wonderful job in portraying their characters and I definitely felt that family chemistry between all of them. At times it seemed to be unbelievable that they weren't related in real life. Each character was memorable and endearing, especially Nanami-chan.

I highly recommend watching this drama. Very rarely do I give dramas a rating of 10/10 these days (since I've watched so many), but this drama really shines and I really think you'd be missing out if you didn't watch this series, especially if you're a fan of Sorimachi Takashi. His acting is so convincing in this series and his character would touch you.

I can see how the dorama tries to make you feel warm and fussy about family... but i find them abit dramatic over little things. At the beginning i was kind of lost what was happening because they kept arguing with each other for no reason, and their acting wasnt very realistic. However there were a few comical situations and the characters did grew on me a little bit including the cute nanami-chan. Overall the story flows and the end was very nice. One thing though, why does the actors have so much bad skin??? I think the camera needs a better filter...hmmm

32. Warm and Fuzzy [Rating: 8/10]
Hotman is one of those dramas that make you feel all warm and fizzy inside. Itfs not a drama has considerable depth and philosophy, so if youfre looking for something profound than this wouldnft be a good pick. On the contrary, itfs quite easy-flowing and simple, and this simplicity makes it a good watch. Yes, there are corny scenes. Yes, it is predictable. But sometimes you just need a drama that has these qualities!

The casting in this drama was done brilliantly. There is so much chemistry between the family dynamic and between the family and supporting characters. Yamauchi Nana is a delight to watch and Ifm sure shefll grow up to be a talented young actress.

There is a sequel to this drama so I wonft criticise the end. I would like to say that Ifm glad Nanamifs mother was not revealed. Like Shima says in the drama, itfs not important whether we know who the mother is or not. Itfs not about the mother at all. Itfs about Enzo and Nanami. End of story.

34. almost [Rating: 9/10]
A family drama about a group of siblings with different fathers living under the same roof. The head of the household, Enzo, is the older brother who has a cute daughter, Nanami, who has a skin disease which breaks out into uncontrollable itching. Despite Enzo pampering his kawaii child, it's not bad.

The doctors all give bad advice. One doctor says to isolate Nanami because of her stress and give her independence from her family. Independence at age 5???

In episode 7, Nanami wakes up without a sound right when her big sister leaves. Later in episode 7, she doesn't wake at all when Enzo screams at his siblings to get out of the house. Enzo wasn't mature enough to ask them to leave for their own good in a better way, but he was mature when it came to talking with his siblings about their fire damaged home and what they were going to do next before that?

The cast is very good, especially Yada Akikko. It's a good drama despite problems with the Enzo character IMO.

A man with a bunch of younger half siblings are living together. This is a typical family drama with decent plots & an excellent cast. It's entertaining but sometimes maybe too moralizing. 7+
60. Comments by Kirari Ililah [Rating: 8/10]
Good drama for the family. Sorimachi Takashi is a very good actor and seems to be good with kids....Yamauchi Nana who plays Nanami is SO cute. The Saitou brothers might not be well known, but I still like them, especially Keita who plays Ryonosuke, he's cool by a coward....I recommend for anyone who enjoys a good and casual family drama....

A sweet family dorama, once again Takeshi plays a teacher like in GTO. Konishi Manami is so sweet as his sister, Shima, and is also the narrator. Yada Akiko is Misuzu, a nurse at the school that falls for Enzo (Takeshi's character). Kurotani Tomoka is so darn hot... phew.

Gave it a nine at first, but after I finished watching this series, I changed my tune. This drama had everything- cool songs, a great cast, hot chicks, a super-adorable five-yr old, not to mention family crises, laughter, tears, some romance, comedy, and stuff about life, being a parent, being a kid, and being part of a family. Loved this series. Gotta wait til someone subtitles the Hotman Special! Yeah!!!

Sorimachi plays a different type of character here, which is refreshing. The girl who plays his daughter is cuteness wrapped in a sugar-breaded roll!! The supporting cast provide a happy, family-viewable, pleasantly put-together drama. Hotman 2 is coming out soon, can't wait!

Despite Sorimachi Takashi being at his overacting worst, this still gets a 7 because it had a rather addictive quality,( I watched it all in a row). Must have been the other family members hat drew me in. And of course, that little cutie, Nana.

86. Comments by farfie [Rating: 9/10]
Generally it flows quite well and Takashi Sorimachi is a heartbreakingly gentle father. Each member of the family is special and vividly portrayed. Even though some parts feel a bit dragged out or tedious, it provides great insight to the complex relationships within a family and is absolutely a joy to watch.

A bit cheesy, but overall a feel good drama. I would not like it as much if it weren't for the cute little girl. The ending is a bit unsatisfying. It was like the writer of the drama had no more to write so he/she just ended the drama...in other words, abrupt ending with no closure.

112. Comments by donna8157 [Rating: 10/10]
An outstanding drama that exceeded my expectations. When I first read the description of this series, I thought it was going to be another one of those cookie-cutter family dramas, but surprisingly it was so much more than just that. Sorimachi Takashi shines in this role as Enzo and each of the other characters do a spectacular job. There was definitely a sense of family chemistry in this series that made each character even that much more endearing, especially Nanami. ^_^ The ending was very touching and sweet.

I highly recommend watching this drama. I don't like how others have called this GTO 2 because it's not GTO and I felt that Sorimachi's character in this series was different from that of the overzealous, over-righteous Onizuka. We saw the softer side of him in this series. Great work. A must watch!

114. Comments by rikastar [Rating: 7/10]
Nanami is a super cute kid! Really, really adorable <3 This is a pretty warm and funny family drama, with loveable and noisy family members. However, the 3 youngest siblings seem to be mere caricatures and their characters are not explored much, which is a pity. There is an excess of Shima's smiley face if you ask me = =''' But it's a good attempt at other type of roles by Sorimachi, he makes me laugh out loud at his exaggerated antics, and did I already mention that Nanami is super adorable?

Recent Watched (June/2005) - Yet another ii feeling series starring Sorimachi Takashi. 'Yamauchi Nana...Sugoku Kawaii.' =) Theme song fitted really well. The bond between Enzo (Takashi) & Nanami (Nana) was simply the best. I'm glad i didn't miss such a great series. One last thing, 'Haha, Kuma da'. Kinda caught me off guard seeing Kuma (Gokusen) in a suit. >_< (After commenting, i think i'm going to watch it again. =D )

Sorimachi Takashi does it again ^^. But this time as a loving father to the cute Nanami! You can sense his love for his daughter in this heartwarming dorama. I thought it was nice to see him have a big family and see all the interactions between them, during their ups and downs. Saito twins are a definite plus ^^;
120. Comments by K.T.Tran [Rating: 9/10]
Thought Sorimachi did a good job in this drama and Akiko was HOT!!!!! The others did good too, I think Yui looked cuter in this drama then in H2 and the Shota twins were good. Little girl is very cute, sweet little innocent baby girl. The story is good. Like how the family is always there for one another and how the family does run into some trouble and they come up with ways to solve it.

128. Comments by williu [Rating: 7/10]
A very heartwarming drama! The rather low score says nothing about Sorimachi's acting, which is in fact superb. He is one of the best drama actors out there - period. The problem that arises however, is that basically _everyone_ in Hotman (maybe with the exception of Yada Akiko) is outshone by him. Their acting is on such a different level that at times (especially by the two twins) it just feels pathetic. If you can look beyond that, it's a nice drama, without any special plot-twists.

Another series with the actor that had the main role in GTO (onizuka), I am ashamed to say it but I have only seen one episode of this series. After I saw the first episode, my comp had a breakdown and it took me some time to get another one. By the time I had a new one I had lost the interest of the series.
5/10 for that what I remeber.

135. Comments by qilver [Rating: 6/10]
slow drama. Good acting. The guy from GTO is the lead in this one too. Akiko was hot. Yui was cute. The storyline was ok, i felt this drama moved way to slow. I thought the character that was created for Manami Konishi could have been better, but i felt she acted very good. At times, i felt uninterested in the drama, although there were some dramatic moments. I finished it out and overall i thought it was ok.

Sorimachi Takeshi plays a similar GTO-esque character in the form of Furiya Enzo - Great Father Enzo. The supporting cast do an OK job but their acting could definitely be improved on. However, the entertainment and warmth of this jdorama make this a jdorama well worth your time. Remember to look out for Nanami!

at first i was skeptical to watch this, 'cause i saw quite a few not so good comments abt the show. demo yappari ii dorama da. a lot like hitotsu yane no shita, but the story revolves more around the father-daughter tandem of enzo & nanami. heartwarming & fun to watch, it's the kind of dramas from which you learn a lot abt life.

Dam, i could not put this one down. I just kept on watching. I'd like to call this drama GTO from the back end. You take Onizuka sensei, milk of him of all the unorthodox methods of GTO (this is not a school drama however), and add in his cute kid with no mama. Good family drama even though it's not truely your normal family. You could feel the warmth of the family often and it's nice to see people always doing their best.

Hardly 7 points. Somehow the story remains shallow and doesn't dive in deep. All in all rather boring, watch only when nothing else to watch.

This dorama is really sweet.. Little Nanami is cute and Sorimachi as her father.. He's cool. He's one of those actors with the best and funniest expressions.. Hard to describe this dorama, but then it shows how much I like it. No words, eh. It's a story describing how beautiful a family can be and how things can go on right before your eyes without you noticing anything, and in worst case, not until it's too late.. Enough of babbling, this is one dorama with alot of emotions and feelings. You should watch this.

Funny and heart-warming dorama! Enjoyed Takashi Sorimachi's portryal as Enzo and beign held in suspense as to whether he and Akiko Yada (playing Misuzu) would end up together in the end. Little Nana Yamauchi, however, clearly wins the prize for the most entertaining character ... simply priceless! Highly recommended!

an endearing family drama that will win takashi sorimachi more fans (because i think he's cuter here, though a little bulkier). he's as equally charming here as in gto.

Sorimachi Takashi is a great actor and this drama is great for the family....Its also funny because you see Haiji being a semi-bad kid, but then energetic and funny too....as for the brother, Ryonosuke, a cool guy, buy some-what a coward...you'd feel sorry for him too though....I think this drama can also teach some lessons and easy to realate to sometimes....

Hotman is a great show that many people would enjoy. Sorimachi Takashi is very good as Enzo, Nanami is very cute and the Saitou twins - Shouta and Keita are very cool ^_^

If you like heart wrenching dramas, this is one to watch. From what I can remember, every episode wreaked havoc on my non-existant tissue box.

A truly touching story about a loving family and the strong bond they share, sticking together through thick and thin. I know, I know it sounds sappy. It is. But it's SOOO GOOD1 =] Great performances by Takashi Sorimachi and the rest of the gang. And Nanami is so cute. The Kayui-kayui man!~
