This one was a pleasure to watch and it was one of the first JDorama that I watched where you feel a bit touched. Abe Hiroshi is again excellent as a dad that has to stay at home and take care of the household duties, as well as look after their daughter. At first it's seems like his life is pointness and he wants to get back to work, but slowly he realizes what's more important in life... and that's family! If you're looking for something light and likeable then this would be a great drama to watch!

Hmm....how do I comment about this dorama. A story starts with successful TV art director - Yamamura San (Abe Hiroshi) who was asked to transfer to a smaller commercial company by his supervisor. He and his family also just bought a house whereby his neighbour is a at home dad. At first, seeing a "At Home Dad" job, Yamamura felt that's a job for a man without no pride.
As story goes, the economic turns bad and Yamamura san has no choice but to leave. Eventually he is unemployed, nevertheless job offer just come in time for his wife. He became "At Home Dad" and need to hear desperate wife's gossip in Iwasaki San's cooking class while need to take care Rie - his own daughter. The most touching scene is that when Rie said that she didn't need a doll's house anymore for her birthday present, she just felt 'right' to be inside the doll's house during her birthday's celebration.
The plot of this dorama is not boring at all, each episode offers a different type of topic. Lesson learnt: It's better to see the smiles of your family rather than living separated. Life should be compromised - option between taking a better oppurtunity overseas or living separated are in your hand.
This dorama deserves a 9 for me, there are lot of family value that is depicted here and of course doing chores are not for ladies only. ;)

This was a GREAT drama, Abe Hiroshi was such a great person to play this role, a clueless husband, learning how to be a perfect husband!!!
Nagai Masaru was also a good choice, another confused guy trying to hide a secret, but impress his girlfriend too...
One of Kawashima Naomi's perfect roles, sinister house-wife and a gossip queen bent on keeping things in order and her way...
This drama is great for the family, and the little kids were SO ADORABLE, especially the neighbor boy, SO CUTE!!! However, you wonder what the things he had to go through, would impact his life....aww Rie stands up for him, and their such bestfriends...
abe hiroshi ga kaji, hahaha!
