i like nagase as sakuraba yuichiro & arai yuichiro.. but i prefer his personality as sakuraba yuichiro.. all the cast was great.. like the chemistry between nagase & takeuchi.. highly recomended!!

I still didn't see the whole drama, but the most important thing I noticed is how Nagase Tomoya is good. Peachy! I never would think he could be such an amazing actor (also because I didn't like him very much before :P). So, he really give an excellent performance! Then, this drama has, yes, a ''stupid'' story, some corny sentences, but you can't deny that it is a sooo sweet drama, when at the end of the episode you find yourself crying.
I hope everybody will watch this drama!

show started off very well, light hearted and funny and then started to stumble very early on and never got back on track. the middle had too much filler about the uninteresting arai family members, altho the ep with koyuki (from last samurai) was pretty good. final couple eps were total turnoff, no way someone who betray their family over something so petty, no way would a couple so in love breakup at crucial situation. *rolls eyes*

nagase tomoyo - competent but tends to overact alot... does he only know how to sing one song?
Takeuchi Yuko - has the cutest smile ever, very natural performance, not enough for her to do except look cute and sometimes act sad or angry
1st sis - annoying, selfish, ugly
2nd sis - annoying, selfish, boring
3rd sis - annoying, selfish (sense a pattern?), but gets more likable or rather pitiable
lil kid - cute but nothing special
older kid - boring, unlikable
dad - one of the worst fathers ive seen, he's not forceful enough when hes mad and doesnt show enough emotion when hes sad
chief and manager - very well acted and funny, danta-san from good luck is brilliant here


also theres way too many manipulative depressing scenes that involve crying and everyone brooding over how pathetic they are... (at least one per ep) and what kinda @#$% sugarcoated BS ending was that? 'the most disgustly mushy couple in the world' indeed.

Like I said the story was too easier to guest. I can guest all the part of the story, that he will solved his wives's family problemes.

SO DISAPPOINTED FOR THIS DRAMA.

I'm not sure why, but I seem to be the only person in the universe who really, really hated this. Everything was so over the top, the characters were cloying and the plotlines just ridiculous. I guess I'm in a minority here.

I guess this will always be my all-time favourite J-dorama. Why? Cuz it's able to get me hooked on it the very moment I played it. It's funny, it's touching, it's warm, it's just simply great. All the artistes seemed to have a great deal of chemistry going on among them..and you'd hardly find any boring moments in it. And of course, Tomoya-kun was able to carry out his role so well you'd find no fault with him. I'd say any fan of J-dorama SHOULDN'T give this a miss.

i thought this was gonna be sort of a cornball kind of dorama,but to my surprise it was actually pretty good.

This was a hilariously, funny drama...if I do say so myself...which I do...I couldn't stop laughing...If you want to watch a drama that makes you happy with the occasional sad moments...and it shows how the power of love will over come popularity and fame...then it gives all of us, the average dreamers the hope that we might end up with Nagase in the end...hee hee ^_^

Love it very much. First time a saw tomoya nagase acted was in this dorama and he's so great he can act as a geek as well as a star. The chemistry between nagase and yuko takeuchi are so sweet. It's funny too.

duba878 · 16 May 2004

very emotional drama. thought main character cried too much. he is cute though. =)

PepeLePiu · 27 Apr 2004

Yuichiro gets married in a VERY fast paced first episode. The rest of the episodes, he must conquer one family member per episode. Thus each episode has a memorable storyline with non-stop action. All the characters are loveable, and the excited pace of this drama make it one of the BEST I have seen. (I've seen about 10 full drama) For people with short attention spans that need excitement and need to smile/yell out loud. The soundtrack is awesome as well.

an interesting spin on teh usual "family-type" drama...teh identity changes are pretty hilarious...at times, it dragged a little more than i had hoped...but still a good drama nonetheless...tomoya is quite talented...supporting cast were aiite as well...i rate it 8.5...

Sohma Kisa · 11 Mar 2004

When I saw first. I think it very good and fun drama. Takeyama Ryo & Sakuraba Yuichiro is very nice boys. Love so much...

juliana_phang · 21 Feb 2004

i find this drama pretty silly...

dys199 · 20 Jan 2004

Nagase Tomoya and Yuko are so cute together.'Each episode's ending gets pretty predictable, but an added bonus is the amazing songs sung by Nagase Tomoya. Worth watching even if you just want to hear the songs.

Another highly enjoyable drama. Filled with very touching scenes and also very funny in places. I love it when he acts all cool YOSH!!~ and then when Sakura calls, claps boths his hands on his geeky face and yells out SAKURA!!~ This drama also makes you think deeply on how ruthless the media can be at times, and how they can make or break someone's career. Hitoribotchi no Haburashi is also one of the BEST songs I've heard.

A rather heart-warming show, cheesy at times.
Hated the last 2 episodes of the show though.
Kinda spoilt the show for me.

Hiro Toyo · 26 Dec 2003

Very few dramas can deliver such a thick plot and at the same time possess a lot of originality. This drama does both, and therefore it is not surprising so many people, including me, gave it such high remarks. The drama doesn't tread on just one single plot, but three or four, but doesn't confuse you by bringing them out all at once, but rather in single increments, and while one part of the story is taking place, another is developing in the background. Also, the drama doesn't leave anything unfinished, nor does it end it in a rush. I really like it when the drama ties everything in nicely and doesn't leave you wandering or questioning some of the plots. To top it off, it just has so many touching moments that it's hard not to like the drama nor the characters in there! A must see!

hydea · 18 Dec 2003

nagase just so kawaii....
perfect couple.......

Since most dramas are love stories there tends to be alot of copy cats and tendencies; but this drama decides to add a very unique and interesting twist! The idea of a ordinary housewife and a pop star makes this drama very interesting and entertaining from the start. Not only did was this drama entertaining but it also taught me alot about the workings of a Japanese family and how they cherish family values. On the other hand this drama also has its pitfalls. I got tired of the "earning trust" theme which the played out too long. Also the main character is both comedic and anoying. However I still recomend this drama to everyone
