Yamada Taro Monogatari

This show was my first introduction to a non-serious dorama. Needless to say, I was somewhat thrown off balance. It took me awhile to get used to the typical over-the-top school scenes. But I recovered.
Aside from the above, which took some getting used to, this is a fairly light-hearted series that's easy and relatively fun to watch. It's evidently not plot-heavy, but the plot is sufficient for such a genre IMO. If you're into school doramas or don't mind them, then go ahead and watch this. In any case, I think Ninomiya was cute enough as his character to sustain my interest. Lol.

I found this to be a really heartfelt drama that is totally underrated on this site. Tarou, the big brother, struggles to provide for his extremely poor family (a bit exaggerated, I admit, but his siblings are SO CUTE!!!) You can't help but cheer him on. And the whole supermarket thing is pretty hilarious...

It is a funny drama and without reality. The cast is great, two members from arashi, and they performed well. Sakurai kun shows the image of a prince. Ninomiya kun has talented in acting, and i think this role is very suitable for him. The theme of the drama is full of affection, humanity(?)...The song "happiness"is exciting. Good, worth!
