Family dorama

5 / 10

I have watched this when I was high school student about 10 years ago. Nothing special, just a simple dorama. Tomoya nagase played as a baby sitter here, he could handle many problems and could be like a father for the kids.

Mediocre

Okay, I absolutely adore Nagase Tomoya, but this drama was just a drag. It took me SO LONG to get through it! The storyline was weak and therefore the plot simple slumped along. The entire story could have been communicated through half the amount of episodes the drama took.

The cast was okay. No one really stood out and no one did a particularly bad job. Everything was just mediocre. Near the end the plot got interesting (with the introduction of the real father), but there wasnft much of a finale and by the end of it all, it was confirmed that, really, I had just wasted 10 hours of my life.

overrated

This dorama had one hell of a lousy introduction. I hate how they approached the main plot. The barely was any chemestry between Yui and Yusaku nor did they look like they loved each other, all they did was eyeing eachother, and then suddenly Yusaku's character screams out on the street saying that he loves Yui and gets married in the first episode!

The first three episodes were so daymn boring all it showed was a house with 3 spoiled brats that kept whining all the time!

Though with this theme it could've been more touching but i guess some of the problems especially in the first episodes was skin-deep and a bit cliche. the youngest doesn't wann go to school, turns out they still have a no-good father. And the thing is, the problems that happens in this dorama, when the problems are childish, they get really childish you'll actually laugh when you're not supposed to, and when the problem is serious they get really serious.

I guess it's a family dorama, nothing special, but it's definitely not below average and i think it was worth watching. It gets interesting and has a good progress starting from episode 4.

Well to me, it was worth waatching just to see Nagase Tomoya acting mature as a father
