1.	celebration of fatherhood [Rating: 8/10] There seems to be quite a number of dramas on fathers this year. If you think fathers are distant creatures like those in Yasashii Jikan or Papa to Musume no Nanokaken, then Uzaki-papa is the opposite. Sure he is irritating (so are the rest who tried to act cute). He is ubiquitous. He is intrusive. He tells everyone in his workplace about his daughter. He sings his displeasure with his guitar for his daughter when she breaks that dumb 7pm curfew. Any daughter would rush to get married just to get him off her back. But at the end of the show, i have only one thought of this relationship - envy.

2.	okay [Rating: 6/10] For five episodes the series seems to be about Aiko's controlling father who cant admit his daughter growing up. Also there's Aiko's budding relationship with the dapperly annoying Mirua-kun. A few episodes concentrate on her job with Narumi Shunichi, for little reason other than Aiko doesn't want to marry Mirua-kun so she can help her boss first. The remaining episodes are about if Aiko and Mirua-kun will get married...0_o Ishihara Satomi is one of the cutest girls around and she's perfect for this role. The character was too angelic however. The father, Uzaki Kentaro, was a little creepy during the first 5 episodes. Wakui Emi does a good job as usual in her supporting role. It's not bad for a watch.

3.	Father of the Bride, eh? [Rating: 8/10] I thoroughly enjoyed this drama, though I may be biased because I love both Satomi-chan and Miho-chan. The story line is light and the plot succeeded in keeping my interest throughout. When the relationship is established within the first episode, I thought “uh… so what are they gonna fill the other 11 episodes with?” But they DID fill the episodes, and my interest was maintained throughout. There were some unrealistic things that bothered me about the show. For example, Miura’s confession to Uzaki’s father that he wants to date her “with the intention of marriage” seemed to come out of nowhere. As a viewer, I felt cheated out of the first steps of their relationship because it was so rushed. Later the relationship between the two solidifies and becomes believable, but that initial confession was unrealistic. The small unnoticeable pieces of comedy were brilliant. For example, when Aiko nearly bumps into Makihara-san while carrying a tray of coffee caused a priceless reaction from the actress (Miho). The slapstick is sporadic throughout and really makes the series quite fun to watch. Somewhere along the middle of the show, however, the comedy fades and it becomes serious and dramatic. The transition is smooth and I didn’t realize the shift had taken place until the second last episode. Although in some dramas this would have been a major uncontinuity, it fit the theme of the drama perfectly. After all, the theme is growth. The male lead (Taguchi Junnosuke) was terrible, and I’ll be really surprised if he’s given more acting roles, but I didn’t mind him as much. Tokito Saburo (Uzaki Ken) was brilliant in this role. He annoyed the crap out of me in the first few episodes and I was afraid that if he continued that way, I wouldn’t be able to watch the rest of the series. But his character simmers down to someone more manageable, and by the end of the series he was one of my favourite characters. Ishihara Satomi is growing as an actress and as her fan I couldn’t be more proud. She still has a long way to go, but she’s levels above the other actresses in her age group. One thing is for sure, the girl can cry convincingly. And what can I say about Miho-chan?! She was absolutely perfect, as she is in all her roles. Overall, the drama was fun. It’s obvious that it was geared towards females in their 20s, and perhaps that’s why I could relate to it a little.

4.	BORING!! [Rating: 5/10] BORING!!! Satomi is just over acting... and lame... The character doesnt really suit her... She is more suitable to be a serious type high school student as in WaterBoys 2... Well, Saburo-san had done a great job!!! He saved the whole drama...

1.	Comments by JackClark [Rating: 10/10] Ishihara's best work I think. The guy who plays her father was so funny.
2.	Comments by -kk- [Rating: ?/10] am the midst of watching it XD It's quite good actually
3.	Comments by carla-chan [Rating: 9/10] Soo funny!!!! Like it soo much!!! jajaja Junno is improving his actor skills! ^^
4.	Comments by Nermal [Rating: 7/10] Simple yet lovely. While the main character (Uzaki both father and daughter) can get annoying at times, that silliness is what in the end brought me in. Surreal but sweet, a family drama with a touch of comedy all tied up by veteran actors and a young cast of promising ones! ^^
5.	Comments by butterLiLy [Rating: 2/10] I find the characters annoying. It's a torture to watch >.<

7.	Comments by donna8157 [Rating: 6/10] Over the top characters and over the top acting with moderate storyline. The main thing that kept me watching was that after 5 episodes, you actually want to know what happens to them. Ishihara Satomi plays a young girl named Aiko who is beginning her new job. She wants to experience freedom and independence, but is watched over constantly by her over bearing father, Uzaki Kentaro. She had lost her mother when she was young so the father is very protective of her. That nature of her father is often times ridiculous and a bit annoying in the beginning, but he thankfully mellows down a bit as the series progresses. I'm sure there had been some complaints about his character early on in the show. Anyway, his actions towards the end are seen as more endearing than anything else. Acting is pretty good in this series despite the melodramatic scenes between father and daughter and the introduction of the new boyfriend, Miura Seiji. A lot of things seemed a bit illogical and out of character despite the early intentions of each character (ie Miura Seiji's response to the disagreement of marriage between him and Aiko) It's a decent series overall for a light-hearted story.
8.	Comments by natzumi [Rating: 7/10] watching gets boring after a while
9.	Comments by rikastar [Rating: 6/10] I think it will be better if everything was just concluded in 5 episodes or so, it got bland towards the end. And almost all the characters are quite annoying, I don't find myself supporting any of them. Ishihara Satomi needs to improve a lot more if she's still going to lead any drama... I think she is going the comedic route but she's not very natural at it. Junno is just being himself so he still have lots of room for improvement too...
10.	Comments by mmyy [Rating: 7/10] The first half is simply hillarious! Otousan's exaggerated reactions are way too funny! Unfortunately, the story got draggy and repetitive towards the end.
11.	Comments by ct_subang [Rating: 6/10] another funny drama abt father-daughter r/ship...thot Emi-chang wld have a more significant role next time...

15.	Comments by aoi_dolphine [Rating: 7/10] This is a rather funny and yet with a sweet romance theme in it. The father going overly protective of his only daughter. I don't think in real life situation anyone will have a curfew at 7pm right? That's where the fun begins. The daughter on the other hand keeps on trying to find her role in her workplace and of course new romance to go with it. That's all I am going to comment here... or yeah if there's any KT fans here Junno is in this drama with Satomi. Surprising they pull off as a sweet couple very well.
16.	Comments by wanderingfish7 [Rating: 7/10] Interesting and touching. I didn't like the papa at first, but later on, I feel that he is really a good papa.
17.	Comments by expanzee [Rating: 6/10] I was waiting for Satomi Ishihara come back. Although it was not disappointing, it was nothing great either.
18.	Comments by aoiharu [Rating: ?/10] Still watching... but I'm liking it :)
19.	Comments by Parishilton [Rating: 10/10] Ishihara was awesome in this series.

23.	Comments by masaki-chan [Rating: 9/10] Funny and relaxing xDDD really worth watching xD The role of father was really characteristic.
24.	Comments by adrxuan [Rating: 5/10] the starting was quite interesting..but halfway through it kinda bores me.
25.	Comments by Eyeyore [Rating: 8/10] Dramatic. i have not seen this dad and daughter do comedy before but this show has such a funny script.every appearance of the dad in front of the couple comes with star wars' phantom menace !!!! Ha Ha Ha.
26.	Comments by nishishi [Rating: 8/10] What a lovely dorama... Hanayome to Papa is really GOOD!!! The casting is superb... I love all the actor... but one of them really caught my attention... Wakui Emi.... OMG shes a excelent actress!!! Tokito Saburo is really good in this doramas as well... 'bout the couple... well... they were OK... I mean.. They put a good show but it was nothing thaaaat special! Most young actors could play their chars. Btw.. imo Satomi~chan and Junno doesnt have a good chemistry betwen them...... Nways... this dorama is really good... and some parts r really funny!!! I really enjoyed Hanayome....
27.	Comments by oldasianguy [Rating: 4/10] I was surprised that I deleted this series after a few episode..but I guess`other then the cuteness of Ishihara Satomi, there's not much going for this show...annoying surporting cast...especially the males....

30.	Comments by darknitelight [Rating: 9/10] Good, but dragged a little at the end
31.	Comments by yamada_taro [Rating: 8/10] I wasn't expecting to watch this, but curiosity got to me and I'd say this was a big surprise. It was comedic and at the same time, while the father-daughter relationship is a tad overboard, it delivers it's purpose -- an entertaining show. The later episodes were more serious, but it was actually touching and heart warming.
32.	Comments by uhno [Rating: 9/10] Although the beginning was annoying, with her father's interference and all, things eventually changed to the point that this drama rocked.
33.	Comments by sucigam [Rating: 7/10] Ishihara Satomi is basically playing the same ditzy character as in H2 and although the drama is cheesy as hell it still ended up being pretty fun. Just don't go in expecting anything more than mindless entertainment and you should enjoy this one.
34.	Comments by Wynter [Rating: 8/10] Satomi-chan as a bride - KAWAII! A fun drama about family values, work, and love.
35.	Comments by irwinner [Rating: 7/10] Not really funny after the first few episodes.

44.	Comments by jhoeralynn [Rating: 9/10] well, hanayome to papa is one of my favorites...not because junnosuke is one of the cast but it gives emphasis on love and repect...and how to fight for the one you truly love...<2108>
45.	Comments by Maiuuri [Rating: 10/10] hilarious, absolutely hilarious, i don't think i laughed more in any other show. the characters are brilliant especially the father and daughter.
46.	Comments by Inujun [Rating: 7/10] This is a rather common story about an overprotective dad who has problem letting go of his only daughter, including of course... chasing away any potential guys. Have to admit that the guy here is very persistant though in a way that is actually quite abnormal, lol! First time seeing Ishikawa acting, she seems a bit too exaggerated sometimes but well who cares if shes so uber cute. I'm not sure what they intended to do with the manager narumi though, by letting us believe him to be a potential competitor for aiko's love since in the end that just died out without much explanation, I would say Koizumi's role was pretty much wasted. Well overall pretty entertaining with the only touching moments showing how a father might feel for his only daughter.
47.	Comments by eml132 [Rating: 9/10] Funny family comedy/drama. Satomi Ishihara has such great expressions, so kawai :)
48.	Comments by altec [Rating: 10/10] All three main characters were amazing. There were some really sweet moments as well. So Sweet. ;o)
49.	Comments by marspeach [Rating: 8/10] Light, cheesy show about a girl with an overbearing but caring dad who falls for a guy from Kat-tun. Funny and I even cried a couple times. Crap, I cry all the time.

51.	Comments by yo-chan [Rating: 8/10] So funny! I love Satomi in here =D! Junno is improving his acting skills! way to go Miura-san! XD
52.	Comments by kaily [Rating: 10/10] I love it! Funny and heartwarming!
53.	Comments by liquidlzero [Rating: 8/10] it was very funny in the beginning but towards the end it just started to drag...but still a good watch
54.	Comments by EstherM [Rating: 4/10] Creepy obessive dad Tokito Saburo and a more than conservative family setting made this unwatchable for me.
