Howdy, Anyone know who is the actress that played Machiko, the hot hostess that's the single mom? Thanks, PCM

She also played Ryoko Hirosue's older sister in Dekichatta Kekkon (Shotgun Marriage)

Yuriko Ishida. This is the last time she looks hot. In Over Time she did too, but in Bara no Jujika and Pride she's become more dowdy, meaning she won't age that well.

She was very beautiful in "Sensei Shiranaino" as Haruna.

Looked in Yuriko's profile, says she's 35.

Yuriko was 31 when she did Oyaji, still looked great.

She was 33 when she did a guest spot in My Little Chef, still looked good.

From a beauty standpoint who impressed me the most in Oyaji was the actress playing the mother, Kuroki Hitomi. She was 40 when she did Oyaji and still looked fabulous.

What a marroon.

My Review: 9/10

I’ve always been completely indifferent to family dramas. I almost always enjoy them, but never get excited or overly anxious to watch one. They are always just… there. After having finished Oyaji, however, I need to admit that I absolutely adore family dramas. I adore them because they’re corny, because they’re heartwarming, and because everyone who has ever lived in a family can relate to them.

Oyaji is a great drama about a stubborn father who does little more than lecture his family and the family members of others, who keeps a firm hand and tends to overly control those living beneath his roof. He is set in his ways and yells at anyone who will disagree with him. Tamura Masakazu plays the role perfectly. This is my first experience with him and I cannot imagine him in any other role. He was really fun to hate and although I failed to sympathize with him even at the end of the show, I’m convinced that was his intention. Complimenting him beautifully was Kuroki Hitomi. There is little I can say that will communicate just how much of a fan I’ve become of hers. She plays the perfect housewife in every respect, and because she’s so sweet and kind you tend to hate anyone who hurts her in this drama. Hirosue Ryoko did a fab job as always, but her character was perhaps my least favourite. Okada Junichi and Ishida Yuriko provide the perfect balance (Ishida is such a diverse actress!). The breakout star (in MY frame of reference) was definitely Mizuno Miki. Why haven’t I seen any of her dramas before? Not only could I relate to her as the eldest daughter of a strict family, but she ends up following the path I wish for myself.

I recommend this drama to anyone who enjoys a good family drama that is both heartwarming and real.
