I go back and forth, but I want to give this a 9.5 (while I gave the original a 9). It was an excellent sequel, but also excellent in it's storywise in it's own right--which few sequels can do. I laughed, I cried, I vented to and with my mom (it's one of the few dramas she watched with me from beginning to end), I laughed, I loved.

Together with Hitotsu yane no shita 1, they make the best family drama series IMO. In this second instalment, the Kashiwagi family returns with more intriguing and addictive storylines. Masaya (Fukuyama Masaharu) is away for about 60% of the show, but the show is still brilliant. Great acting by the cast, especially Noriko Sakai towards the end. Eguchi Yosuke as usual, does the part of the extremely sensitive brother well, and Matsu Takako was just SOOO cute!! The theme song used for the show is the same as the first, which I thought was a very nice touch as well. This drama will play through every emotion in your heart and will make you laugh/cry/angry/touched etc etc.. It is that good. The last storyline though.. my god.... It will glue you to the screen. All in all, Excellent stuff. Highly Recommended!!~

A must see if you saw the first series but then again you would already know that...lol. Not so much of "Masaya" in this one but he performs very well in the end. Nice touch with Miki but not so sure about the Masumi guy. The ending is very very unexpected as the above review says. You'll cry with emotion. P.S.-I think the opposite result for the ending would have been better though, or at least develop the original more. You'll know what I mean when you see it. Also, I was left confused with the gangster guy(not the brother) and his attitude.

Great cast and good performances. That why this series became a classic. An interesting story line based on family bond between brothers and sisters.
