Freeter, Ie o Kau.

I can't tell you just how much i love this drama. I actually want to give more points to it but 10 seems to be the most i can give ene
It's one of the few drama series i watched more than once *chokes*more like 10 times*cough* And every time i watched it i just couldn't stop because it really caught me completely.
One big plus is the cast!! Ninomiya Kazunari as Take Seiji was just a perfect choice. His acting was superb and his character just too adorable and you just rly wanted to hug him and kick him sometimes.. but with love. You just wanted his character to get it together haha. I feel like Take is kind of a lot like Ninomiya actually ^^ Takenaka Naoto as his father was A++++ btw.
These two just have so much great chemistry so they really seemed a lot like real father and son. Loved their complex relationship btw.
Karina.. omg, Karina bby was so great in this one too. I found that her and Seiji were kind of an odd couple, but also really lovable and precious. So happy they ended up together, in their somewhat really awkward relationship ;A; Really really cute.

This drama really had everything i needed in a drama.. some parts to laugh, some parts to cry, some raburabu huhu~ô Plus i think it was extremely realistic regarding the story of Sumiko's depressions, Seiji's struggles to find a job, the family intern problematic etc..
I was also really happy with the Special btw. It has it's nice own story as well!
Kinda wished there would've been a special that showed Seiji and Chiba couple like 5 years later.. something like "Freeter buys a house — again" for his new family , Chiba and maybe a their first kid owo, i would have really loved that. I'm sure it won't happen but i can dream at least, right? haha
However, i can really 100% recommend this drama to everyone, i am sure no one will regret watching it!

I have never seen a more dysfunctional-functional father-son relationship. It's pretty interesting, really. That aside, this dorama is worth watching. There's a good, steady plot going on with commendable acting and well-paced character growth. I think that they could have fleshed out Karina's character slightly more, but other than that I'd recommend watching this.
Just the characters alone are worth the watch, I think. I love the support cast! Besides his family members, Ninomiya's construction crew members are great too.
But of course, as with all such doramas, the atmosphere can get a little dark and gloomy. If you can't stand such stuff then perhaps it's not for you.

Strong characters and great writing. Great drama
