Synopsis
Meet the Sakurai family, where nobody holds their feelings back and life never holds a dull moment. Returning to serial drama for the first time in five years, Misako Tanaka and three hyperactive actors provide a story with a heart. Sakurai Harue (Tanaka), who has brought up her sons alone after her husband died, is absolutely hopeless at running a household. Her eldest, Tatsuya (Tamayama), does the job in her place while keeping younger brothers Riku (Hayami), and Junpei (Nakao) firmly in line. The sparks are constantly flying and arguements abound, but at the root of it all is a love for family and kinship. Life is smooth for the family until all three brothers find themselves in their own love stories. As the three brothers deal with their own personal lives, Harue witnesses the growth of her children in this heartwarming story.

Great drama!!!
Eventhough I've only watched until Ep 4.. I cant watch the rest...
All the characters and actors are great too!~

This drama is just all around really great! The characters and how they deal with their problems in everyday life is just very intriging~! The mood can go to funny to sweet to absolutely serious in so little time! It's like a small box that holds everything inside. It's just a really great drama.

Pretty funny, I'd say having a house full of guys would have THAT much drama going on. I did like that Tamayama & Mokomichi were chosen, though Nakao was a little iffy. However as you keep watching the story you understand that Nakao's character isn't really meant to stand out. Kuninaka is so adorable and I think her and Tamayama are a good pair for this type of situation.
This isn't a very good drama, since some of the acting is a little bland and some story lines are a bit cliche, but it is funny and a nice "dreaming of a love" love story. ^^

7. One of my Favourites! [Rating: 9/10]
There are a lot of discrepancies in this drama that would normally peeve me. Like how Ai, in episode 5, claims that Tatsuya is like a brother to her, even though in the previous episodes there doesn’t seem to be much of a bond… or how Chisato has a lunch for four ready at the Amusement Park in episode 4, but initially she was called there by surprise. And lets not forget how Riku re-opens the Laundromat without any experience or knowledge of the business and is successful.

But regardless of all these inconsistencies, I LOVE this drama! So what if some things are really unrealistic. In the grand scheme of things, or in the frame of reference that is this show, it doesn’t matter! I’m a hopeless romantic and this drama did wonders in quenching my thirst.

This drama deals with family and love issues; two themes I always appreciate in a drama. There is just the right amount of angst, and sweet scenes, and comedy, and emotional “lifts”. The cast is uber cute and each actor/actress fits the character they play perfectly. My favourites are Tanaka Misako, who plays the corky, funny, lazy mother, and Kuninaka Ryoko, who plays a shy, unconfident, sweet store manager named Chisato.

And FINALLY, a drama that has eye-candy for female viewers! Tamayama Tetsuji is absolutely gorgeous, and his character is definitely the dream of every girl. Hayami Mokomichi is charming and pulls off his role nicely.

This has become one of those rare dramas that I will watch repeatedly. Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys a sweet, comedic love story!

This show deserves the 10 because it combines all the elements every show/drama should have.....family, comedy, romance, good plot, a good cast and lets not forget, indispensable Eyecandy *cough Tetsuji Tamayama cough*. This show/drama ranks high up there with the best.

9. Great family drama! [Rating: 8/10]
An amusing drama revolving around a lively family of 3 sons and their mother. Episode plots are pretty typical of jdramas but the different threads are woven nicely into a good coherent story. The casting choices were made well and each of the actors and actresses left their mark as the characters they played. With a fair bit of comedy and likeable characters, I am reminded of Oyaji and Otousan except with its own little quirks. A fun drama to pass the time!
Reviewed by Shindou on 25 July 2007
10. Pretty good [Rating: 10/10]
I enjoyed watching this. It's fast paced and the mom and the brothers have good chemistry. The oldest is very responsible and looks after his family, the middle brother is a ladies' man and is quite charming, and the youngest cooks all the meals and is still in school. The mom seems a little immature and irresponsible, but her sons don't really mind helping out around the house.

It's basically a heartwarming drama about the family's life and the daily struggles they encounter such as love, life, and growing up. It's nice to see how close all the brothers are because they're constantly fighting, literally, not with just words, but with fists.

Great actors, good storyline, and just overall, entertaining.

Still Watching. This an entertaining drama, you learn to love the characters with all their flaws. It feels like summer snow but with a whole lot of comedy instead of drama. Brothers are so much fun, ne?
3. Comments by Susan [Rating: 9/10]
A hilarious series! Kuninaka Ryoko was lovely as Chisato. The three brothers were so different and yet so alike in the end. Sometimes it was a bit corny, but overall a great comedy and romance series. My only regret is that it seemed to end so abruptly. I feel like I would have liked to see how Riku's laundry business fairs, how Tatsuya and Chisato's relationship develops further, and how Junpei and Miyuki finally tie the knot! I know that there's little hope of any future continuation, though.
4. Comments by donna8157 [Rating: 8/10]
A family drama. The series begins with a happy family: a father, a mother, and three young sons. Due to a tragic accident, the father passes away early in his life leaving the mother to take care of her three growing sons. Time passes quickly and you see the sons have grown up and are used to doing chores around the house. The oldest son is a salaryman [Tamayama Tetsuji], the middle son [Hayami Mokomichi] is a popular swim instructor (with his own fanbase), and the youngest son [Nakao Akiyoshi] is still going through schooling. It's mainly a drama about how these four get along and their daily obstacles in life such as meeting women, dealing with work, finding out what they want in life, etc. Of course this goes with a few fist fights and such thus the drama title, "Brother Beat", where beat is meant literally.

The only caveat I have with this drama is the mother - as sweet as she is and even though she is portrayed as raising all three sons by herself, her character is a little over the top. On the other hand, the other three young actors act very well. I would recommend this drama mainly if you like any of the actors mentioned above.

Nice light-hearted family drama, the way the brothers end up bickering and fighting is amusing, and sometimes the mother joins in too. Crazy but loving family. Tamayama Tetsuji as the eldest son is LOVE! I want a real life Tatsuya...

2 words: hot guys. it's a generally fairly lighthearted drama, and even if the guys weren't that hot i'd probably still like it.... but i mean, it has Tamayama Tetsuji and Hayami Mokomichi. it really helps when the actors are amongst the best-looking asian guys EVER

a surprisingly enjoyable watch! i think it was too bad that it was on the same season as 1LofTears & NwP; hence it was overlooked. although it touches on some cliches, it's the kind of light-hearted and amusing family drama that i don't think people will ever get sick of watching.

I'm watching this because of how cute Tamayama and Hayami are. I love Tamayama's style in this drama, so hot. The story is not bad, but there isn't any peaks. Didn't like the female character though, she's soooo wimpy. Also, the mother pissed me off a little too; she's so annoyingly kiddish.

A light-hearted, entertaining family-themed dorama which is rather similar to Summer Snow (not surprising since it is the same scriptwriter) but without the sad ending. Tamayama Tetsuji outshined Hayami Mokomichi here & I must say this is probably the former's most commendable performance & memorable work.

This is a really great family dorama! It was funny, serious, sweet, and taught morals without sounding pretentious. I thought it was wonderful the way they dealt with everything; it all seemed pretty realistic and you could really relate to it. And that is one darn good looking family they got there~! ;]
64. Comments by ScrappedShinigami [Rating: 8/10]
I really had no idea what to expect with this drama.
When I started watching the first episode I immediately liked Tetsuji's character and when we were introduced to his first love interest I thought oh no I don't like her. But thankfully by the end of the episode it turned out that the love interest was someone else and that was Ryoko's character who was absolutely adorable. (I really liked her)
This is a really sweet series it has some amazingly cute romantic scenes that made me happy.
It's mainly a family drama, about how this family turned out without a father.
All the characters went through great character development through the whole series. I think what made Tetsuji my favourite character was his character change, he was so work focused to begin with, but by the end he seemed to have realised that there were more important things. (It also helped that he was pretty ^_^)
Overall a really good series! I'm glad I saw it through to the end

Really nice dorama.... Honestly i wasnt expecting much from Brother Beat... but as the episodes goes on u really start to support the three brother and their mother....

HOTMAN still is IMO the best "family" dorama... But Brother Beat gets real close to it... And the history is really creative... Most doramas focus on the father... and brother beat is really different in that aspect... Something more or less like Summer Snow...

The casting is also superb... I really felt in love with the characters of this dorama... The music is OK... Brother Beat is a really well made dorama... I recommend it!!!

A good show to watch if your looking for something about everyday life in japan and family related. the characters are enjoyable and the three main leads (all male of course) are brilliant and fun to watch. so if for nothing else then watch it for the guys. but it has a pretty good storyline too :)

hi! im currently watching this series ryt now... (episode 5) The main reason i watched it is because of Hayami Mokomichi ^///^ but then i started liking Tatsuya's character too... ^^ The plot is kinda predictable but then it's still interesting how they overcome the obstacles ^_^ I might say that 50% of the reason of watching is because of the pretty characters... the other 50% is because of the entertainment factor ^_^ All in all... I've come to like this series so far. I'd recommend it to anyone =3

I'm a sucker for romantic comedies and this is a classic example. Great cast and storyline, with a good development of characters and light comedy in between with tear jerking moments. Oh yeah thumbs up for the scenes of Tamayama Tetsuji and Kuninaka Ryoko, they are so cute together. And here's a vote to a sequel. Please bring us Brother Beat 2 LOL!!!

OMG when i first watched e 1st ep of this drama, i already got hooked, not becoz of e story but merely becoz of Tamayama Tetsuji, hes so HOT, handsome, sexy look n voice, just perfect!, e story is ok, a typical drama revolving ard daily issue, i only enjoy watching e time when Kuninaka Ryoko n Tamayama Tetsuji on screen 2gether, coz they r so cute 2gether, so kawai both of them!

Very funny series. I love watching their weekly adventures. At the end of the day, love for the family prevails.

Hilarious yet heartwarming family drama. What a unique family. To address mom with 'miss' Harue. Stubborn but trustworthy Tatsuya, fun and easy going Riku, and gentle and caring Junpei. Very entertaining.

This show is pure 100% AWESOME-ness. This is the best show i have seen...I fell in love with the Sakurai Fam.....not to mention Tatsuya (TETSUJI TAMAYAMA is soooooo HOT). Plus this show is soo cute and funny. If you dont watch you are TRUULLY missing out.

T2's not only good looking he's good in acting as Tatsuya. I love the slightly off the wall family relationship. Great chemistry with Kuninaka Ryoko.
