Aside from the type of family dramas based around the parents and their relationships with their children (Oyaji, Otousan, Brother Beat), this type of dorama addresses the common issues faced between daughter-in-laws and mother-in-laws. Toss in Yamaguchi Tomoko and Nogiwa Yoko into the mix and you've got an entertaining drama that has a life of its own. Great comedic and heartwarming moments!

Double Kitchen does everything right in its own modest way - the uniquely Japanese story of newlyweds who take the top floor of the family house - and everyone adds to the comic melee. It's been done before, but all the characters are vivid, and the situations nearly always amusing. Versatile Yoko Nogiwa excels as the mother-in-law, while Tomoko Yamaguchi always has a lively, beatiful presence. Familiar? Yes, but it works.

Excellent story line, full of funny situations between the mother and new wife, living upstairs. Sano Shiro is in this also and for some reason not listed here..one of his more menorable performances to me...and a crack-up as always. This one is a must-see!!
