Good family drama. A little above average. A mixture of funny and touching moments. Just look at the rating and you will know that Hirosue has a big following. |

Love HR!!! Very good indeed. Great acting all around in this one. Mizuno Miki has a very nice emtional scene at the school. |

Excellent and energetic performance from Tamura Masakarazu!! Okada Junichi is sooo adorable as the youngest son, and Ryoko Hirosue is so pretty..
anyway, i like the plot and how it is resolved at the end.. |

Eh... if you are not a Ryoko, Oikawa or Okada fan, you'll find it quite boring. The plot is so predictable. However, there are certain parts which is really touching and funny. There is also a very "funny" twist in the beginning. Watch this when you have time~ :) |

An "ok" drama about a dysfunctional family! Funny too! |
| 11. | Comments by rikastar [Rating: 9/10]
A wonderful family comedy slash drama, a really good combination because it makes you laugh and feel touched at the same time. The cast is also great and do a great job - the dad who talks and nags too much but is actually really soft-hearted, the wonderful mum who is really too beautiful and caring to be true but I'm glad they showed that no one is perfect in her storyline, the quiet but strong older daughter, the outgoing and wilful younger daughter, and the directionless and kind young son. Underneath their problems and fights, I see that it is a family that really cares for one another. |

I have watched this sooo many times! It is hilarious! The father is played by the perfect guy for the part. You really feel like this bunch is a family because they all interacted so well. And at first, I thought his wife was his daughter she looked so young O_O;;! Anyway, I like how the story of love isn't forced out on all the characters. It's a drama that relies more on developing the characters than developing love situations. |

pretty good . . . although there's not much okada junichi scenes *criez* so of course i wont like this drama much hahahaha
the girl looks soooo freaky with all that make up . . .i tihnk she looks pretty when she looks natural . . . i bet okada will fall for her if she was more "normal" but luckily he did in the end ^.^ |

Great story about an old fashioned father who tries to deal with lifes problems in a changing world. Great acting and directing create a humourous atmosphere that maintains, even during times of uncertainty. Thanks to local station KSCI 18 Los Angeles and FujiSankei for bringing this wonderful series to me. |

Nov 2003: Great cast. The black girl made the show more interesting. Gives me the spirit to find my own path. If hitomi were my mom, i don't need to do those household chores anymore......:) |
| 22. | Comments by Makenai [Rating: 7/10]
Please add Shin Yazawa to the credits of this drama. She played Suzu-chan's ganguro friend whose name I am drawing a blank on. :) |
| 23. | Comments by cynee [Rating: 5/10]
not bad~ i like Okada Junichi in this one... |
| 24. | Comments by GhstDreamer [Rating: 9/10]
One of the best family sitcom/dramas. The situations are believable The cast of characters are very human with fundamental human flaws like insecurity, fear and regret - and shows how each character develops as the story progresses. A wonderful drama. |

Ryoko as a bad mannered daughter wants to get married early, what will her stubborn dad do to stop her? |
| 28. | Comments by DragonSpirit164 [Rating: 8/10]
Good family drama.. Tamura Makazaru was great as the very stubborn dad who never admits when he's made a mistake... But deep inside, he really cares about his kids and would go to great lengths to protect them... Can't believe how many times the kids tried to leave home when they have an argument with their father... but always end up coming back..haha.. |

Good family/aloof father drama. Characters are slightly more polished than Otousan... |
| 31. | Comments by Quatregael [Rating: 9/10]
A funny drama with a good message. Sumika really spices up the story. |
| 32. | Comments by eltinator [Rating: 9/10]
The best family drama IMO! An all star cast for an all star family. Ok that was cliche but the whole drama was amazing. A very great message on morality and the theme of family was knit into every episode. Must watch! |
| 33. | Comments by kiba92 [Rating: 7/10]
Good light heart drama. Another family oriented show. There are some funny moments not something you have to rush and watch. |
| 34. | Comments by ahochaude [Rating: 2/10]
Another family drama but this was worst than Otousan. |

a great family drama!! sometimes i got mad at the dad..well now i know the way japanese family are hehe..the actors and actresses did a great job ^0^ |
| 42. | Comments by Tu_triky [Rating: 9/10]
Fun to watch and the acting was pretty good all around. The father's character was expertly played by Tamura Masakuzu. Hitomi Kuroki as the mother was also great. A must for all fans of Ryoko Hirosue as well. Good stuff! |
| 43. | Comments by pcmodem [Rating: 8/10]
The first 6 episodes are painful to watch, but necessary, as they provide the foundation. Sumika steals the show! |
| 44. | Comments by HeLLoMinna [Rating: 9/10]
funny, also make you want to isshoukenmei too ^^
didn't know back then, but young okada junichi was in it , very cute ^_^ |
| 45. | Comments by I LUV V6! [Rating: 9/10]
Very touching.... I loved the chemistry between the cast here. And Okada Junichi showed how great of an actor he is. I love the moments where the father-son relationship/similarities are shown. |
| 46. | Comments by kikkuman [Rating: 9/10]
great cast, story, characters. dad was great, hirosue ryoko and mizuno miki were terrific, supporting cast were awesome, brown girl was kinda scary (she doesnt look half bad w/o makeup tho) |
| 47. | Comments by ct_subang [Rating: 7/10]
A warm-hearted family drama for all 2c!!its kinda of an "otousan-like" drama...reallyy funny |
| 48. | Comments by Okojo [Rating: 3/10]
Didn't like the plot. So many things disgusted me in this drama... I hated the characters, the traditional point of view. This family drama was horrible to watch. The only nice thing were the actors... |
| 49. | Comments by Yayoi [Rating: 6/10]
A nice, heartwarming (and funny) family dorama! My fave moment was where the Kanzaki dad and Michiko (the mistress ???) met at the department store and later, tried to hide from 2 persons. (^_~) The scene was simply hilarious!! I still laugh when I think about it. :D I also liked the appearance of Oikawa Mitsuhiro; I think he did quite well. ;p |
| 50. | Comments by gqstyle09 [Rating: 7/10]
feel good family drama with important issues, good plot, great performances |
| 51. | Comments by pandora [Rating: 9/10]
Really funny. The Oyaji's chrecter is really irritating in tehbegining but by the end of it all I can't stand Hirosue's charecter! Its worth a watch. |
| 52. | Comments by Nermal [Rating: 8/10]
Short and sweet. Worth the watch when you have the time. ^^ |

A funny and heart warming family drama. I find Oyaji a little annoying though.... |
| 56. | Comments by blakmetalik [Rating: 8/10]
A funny, heartwarming family drama with positive messages overall. The only member of the family that didn't get enough love was the dog, in my opinion. =( |
| 57. | Comments by bakaneko_san [Rating: 7/10]
Enjoyed this one, but the way the son behaved made me angry ^_^ |
| 58. | Comments by Jeanxi [Rating: 4/10]
Loved this drama in the beginning, but my love decreased as the drama went on. Thought it got a bit too dramatic with the woes of the family members. |
| 59. | Comments by IniQx [Rating: 8/10]
I think I watched this drama twice...anyhow very realistic plot that showed the kinda conflicts a family would face in everyday life |
| 60. | Comments by supermidget [Rating: 8/10]
[On DVD] Good funny drama/comedy about a family that is being terrorised by the "stubborn dad" ("Oyaji"). The Oyaji cares very much for his family and has many (traditional) ideals. Too bad for him his 2 doughters and son have all kinds of problems that don't fit his ideology at all. A pattern seems to be children leaving the house because of their dad, then dad won't admit he misses them but still allows them back in the house. I still have to see the last few episodes, I'm really looking forward to how the finaly issues are being solved :-) Please give this drama a look |

Oh Dad ! No matter how stubborn he is, he's still the best father in the world. Fun to watch yet very touchy and realistic with family values. The casting is well chosen, especially the father. |

A great mix of family drama and situation comedy! Likable characters, funny moments, and interesting issues dealt with through the series. |
| 68. | Comments by Qky [Rating: 7/10]
Another drama regarding daily family life and we have Tamura Masakazu as the dad (i really like the way he acts.. very nice).. and ofcourse, everybody's favourite, Ryoko-chan. :P.. overall it is good and touching. it deals with daily life problems, but i still prefer Otousan better. |
| 69. | Comments by aiscess [Rating: 9/10]
This is the first time I watched a family drama wherein the members are complete. A father, mother & children. We can really relate to it and it's always nice to have a family to support you & help you all the time. |
| 70. | Comments by buzzybug [Rating: 8/10]
ayarkk.. scary father!! |
| 71. | Comments by bigfire [Rating: 6/10]
A pleasant telling about a strict father and how his teachings affect his childrens' lives. They each come to understand the reasoning behind his madness. As he comes to understand his self and his marriage. Not bad, but not great. Some good acting by the father, but some mediocre acting by Hirosue Ryoko, who I normally adore. |
| 72. | Comments by chrisje [Rating: 10/10]
BEST BEST BEST!!!! That's all I can say about this drama. It is the best drama I've ever seen!! Must watch it! |

| 78. | Comments by Shindou [Rating: 9/10]
A first-class dorama! Kuroki Hitomi, Tamura Masakazu, Hirosue Ryoko, Okada Junichi, Mizuno Miki and Ishida Yuriko made up a very effective cast with great chemistry together. The plot flowed along with a good amount of humour and character development. There were definitely some surprises along the way and I very much enjoyed ryoko's performance in this series. She was vibrant and somewhat boisterous - very different from her subdued and quiet character in Summer Snow. |
| 79. | Comments by 100%enka4life [Rating: 6/10]
not bad but not fantastic |
| 80. | Comments by loveaomori [Rating: 9/10]
a great great family dorama, better than otousan and mukodono (in the ranking of family doramas). Acting is just nice and with only a few caracters you won't get bored. I don't give it a ten because it's a very good dorama but quite easily forgetable anyway. |
| 81. | Comments by maui [Rating: 9/10]
This is very heartwarming family drama featuring a great cast and good stories for each character. I love this series as much as i love otousan.Tamura Masakazu is so good as a stubborn dad but with a kind heart. |
| 82. | Comments by nishishi [Rating: 6/10]
Didnt like all the Dorama... But the last 3 or 4 episodes were really touching!!! But most of all i was really surprised by the chemistry betwen the actors... it is great..... |
| 83. | Comments by kartanoman [Rating: 10/10]
Perhaps the funniest Jdorama my wife and I have watched! Tamura Masakazu is one of our favorite actors and his portrayal of a cantankerous yet overly caring father (in a somewhat odd manner) makes this one most enjoyable to watch. Ryoko Hirosue also did a fabulous job as the rebellious daughter and has also become a household favorite with us. Miki Mizuno and Hitomi Kuroki also turn in stellar performances and we've gone out of our way to watch as many doramas as possible with these four characters. Bottom line: this one is our personal favorite! |
| 84. | Comments by bba1 [Rating: 7/10]
Okay. Ryoko was fun to watch |
| 85. | Comments by hikaruhana [Rating: 5/10]
I liked Otousan so I guess it had to follow that I'd like Oyaji. Cheesy family sitcom but fun to watch. |
| 86. | Comments by Ezalor [Rating: 8/10]
Heartwarming, entertaining family Drama. Shows the Japanese family ideal and the problems the members encounter. I like the role and the actor of Oyaji. Nearly all other actors convince as well. |
| 87. | Comments by oldasianguy [Rating: 7/10]
This series is similar to the show "Otousan" which also starred Tamura Masakazu....in both shows I found him annoying...The supporting cast was great...but because he was so arrogant I could'nt fully enjoy show.... |

great family-life. |
| 90. | Comments by yourasthma [Rating: 9/10]
currently, i have yet to watch the finale, but i'll write my review first. best ensemble cast, everyone is perfect for this show; from the strict cranky dad to the brown face girl. miki mizuno was brilliant and i have watched her scene where she reveals her secret to her family so many times. ryoko hirosue was annoying at first but i cant see anyone else playing this role. lighthearted with original and non-slapstick humour, but also with real dramatic moments. i just hope the finale doesn't disappoint.
update: finale was a bit too sentimental and neat, but overall the show was great. the finale brought the rating from 10 to 9... |
| 91. | Comments by Kugashira [Rating: 9/10]
One of my all time favorites. Loved the cast. Hirosue and Tamura were great. |
