Wonderful family drama which captures you from the first second and do not let go until the end and when it's finished you want to see more, how they continue their lives, how they got married, had kids and all their lives until the death. That's why I gave this score. I mean if you only read the cast you instantly become scared, you become scared whether this drama is going to be some masterpiece or some drama ruined by all those famous names, which happens a lot in American movies and shows. Fortunately, it was the first case- you get to see a masterpiece drama. Why? Well, it is ordinary drama indeed, with a family members living together, fighting, loving, crying, smiling, having many issues which is something pretty usual and nothing special. Yes, it sounds like that but when you watch only a first episode you could see how you're becoming more and more interested in further development, how you're becoming suddenly addictive. At leas I was 'till the last second of a show. Acting was...BRILLIANT, MIND BLOWING AND INCREDIBLE. As expected from all those actors. 10 points to Eita, 10 to Hikari, 10 to Satoshi, 10 to Aoi, even 10 to Masami (the girl just proved in this drama how good she can be). I don't have to write about their acting, every true Japanese fan knows about them and how genius they are. I'm only going to say that the chemistry they had was so amazing, all of them, between every single family member, how they loved one each other, how they fought, how they protected one another, whatever problems they had, and they had a lot of them through the whole drama, they stayed together because they're family. There is a sentence which Asahi said at the end:" Anywhere we go, we are family. A family that is inseparable. That needs no reason.' And that's exactly the point of a drama. FAMILY. I think I was the most touched by the eldest son who was honestly suffered the most to achieve all that and keeps of all them together in a place to live, food to eat and proper education to have. And the second son who was played by my dearest Eita, two of them were so fantastic, I've enjoyed in their scenes, and scenes with their only sister who was such a sweet, delightful creature, with every brother she showed different relationship, she was like a soul of their family. All scenes between them, funny, sad, angry, crazy, all the emotions that exist in this world I think that they delivered us all of them in only 11 hours. Simply magnificent. Music was ok, nothing much but quietly in the background fitted good to the atmosphere. This drama is a story about human emotions, about family gathered together and their stories and lives, each character was so well written, even the side characters were perfect. At the end, this sentence really hit me and got deep in the heart. "What's wrong with crying when I want to cry? That's what a human being is supposed to do." Definitely a drama with so many messages and lessons about life and humans which all of us should listen and be aware of. I'm truly thankful for having a opportunity to see this amazing piece.
