Finally rewarded for my patience as this series was recently commercially released w/ English subtitles. My wife and I are huge Tamura Masakazu and Kuroki Hitomi fans ... going all the way back to their last performance together in Oyaji. These two perform well together in both series but they clearly shine in Fuufu. I absolutely loved the start of each episode as Tamura-san cheerfully introduces one of his products for sale with his catch-phrase "my wife is going to be mad at me for selling at these low prices" ... or something to that effect.
I'll try not to go too much into the details on the series but will highly recommend this to any married couple who has been together a long time (e.g. 10 years or more). As Tamura and Kuroki's characters continue to play out the script, it caused me to reflect on my own marriage and especially on the things I have taken for granted regarding my wife during our time together. When it appears the ending is headed for depression and hopelessness, the divorced couple meet and the program ends with a ray of hope that everything they've learned about themselves and each other, over the course of the series, will give them the courage to reunite and try again.
In all, a touching story that's well worth watching. This is about the fourth series I've seen with Tamura playing the father role in a family J-dorama (the others being Oyaji, Otousan and I Love you Mum) and I think his talents serve that role well. I've seen Kuroki in series such as Oyaki, Ringu and Good Luck and, while she was excellent in all of those, she seems to play the motherly role in these series the best. |

Actor's on-screen age vs. real age:
Tamura Masakazu: 59 vs 61
Kuroki Hitomi: 46 vs 44
Kato Ai: 25 vs 22
Tsukamoto Takashi: 22 vs 22 (same)
Nishida Naomi: 32 vs 34
Oomori Nao: 28 vs 32
Haneda Michiko: 37 vs 36
All perform well. However I really cannot see Katon Ai as a 25 year old "Old Maid" who's thinking about getting married all the time. She is so young that I think it's cruel for her to mentally fit into that role. Actually she looks more like Tsukamoto Takashi's younger sister (in real age she IS younger). |

kinda boring at lst with very predictable plot. but the last episode was excellent! it won my tears a couple of times. My fave scene was where Tamura Masakazu & Kuroki Hitomi were preparing for divorce & also how they met a year later. What Tamura Masakazu said to Kuroki Hitomi melted my heart "There's something you can't do. That is to die before I do. I won't forgive you if you do so" Awwww.... |

Mac 2005: Another family drama, but involved between the parents. At first u will feel sry to Kana, and the story grows, other characters develop too, they started to be more caring and more understanding. Still, i dun really find that this drama is interesting, maybe i watched too many similar type dramas....... |

A nice little story about married couples and relationships. Although it features 2 ravishing beauties in Kuroki Hitomi and Kato Ai, the story lacks punch and doesn't deliver as a top drama. Aesthetically it's awesome, but plot-wise, it could use a little more. |

Starring some of my favorite actresses (Kuroki and Katou), along with some good actors, sure enough to make me a happy camper on Sundays when it starts airing! :D |

hard to do better than this in a family dorama. I like the ending and the chemistry betwee Tamura (a so great actor, a genious) ad Kuroki Hitomi is perfect. |
