Synopsis
A high school student's mother passes away leaving her alone with her grief. The girl, Marimo, discovers the name of a father she never knew. Marimo sets off to meet him, but is completely shocked when she finds someone very different from the father she envisioned. Her father, Shinpei, a 38-year-old would-be private detective, is shocked too, and doesn't believe her until he sees the paperwork. With Marimo muttering "The worst father in the world"and Shinpei lamenting the loss of his freedom, these two are about to learn how difficult and rewarding a father/daughter relationship can be.

1. Not bad... but [Rating: 7/10]
This drama was not bad but it was not great either. The script was too loose. Some very talented people in the drama just not a very developed plot line. The show also suffered from poor charachter developement. You really wanted to see people bond and relationships become better defined but it just did not happen in my opinion. Still it had it's moments...

2. a little disappointed [Rating: 6/10]
I was a little disappointed. Aya was o.k., I like Sakurai Sachiko but they did not give her much of a role in this. Kohinata Fumiyo was pretty good in this probably the best part of the show. The story never developed very much although the concept was decent. I'm glad KTSF played it, it was worth watching but nothing to get too excited about.

3. Not too exciting [Rating: 6/10]
Apart from Aya this drama had little else going for it. I had a real hard time caring for anyone else in the drama. The story was dull the soundtrack was awesome and well that is about all I have to say for this drama.

4. Pretty good [Rating: 8/10]
I really liked this drama. Aya was really good, and the chemistry bewteen her and Ikki made the show (while I thought everyone was good--they just made this show for me).

5. Should please Aya's fans [Rating: 7/10]
If I didn't feel like slapping Kitamura for being such a rotten dad, I'd have clapped my hands a little louder. Great music score when there's no dancing.

The first couple of episodes were a rough start, I felt like I had to force myself to watch it and hoped it got more interesting. Eventually it picked up and became a lot more enjoyable when the plot was not just centered on the father and daughter developing a bond, but many other characters as well. I though the dancing within the drama was pretty ridiculous and the plot was not very well developed, but there were moments that were very sentimental. The ending was definitely shocking and surprised me which was a definite plus, it made me feel like it was worthwhile. Aya Ueto's role was something I felt very comfortable watching as she fit it perfectly while the father was a little harder to watch. Still a good watch for Aya fans.
2. Comments by donna8157 [Rating: 5/10]
This drama started off pretty slow and that didn't change much towards the end either. Aya Ueto plays Marimo, a girl who looks for her father who happens to be a detective after her mother passed away. Aya Ueto plays her regular self in this kind of drama and the other side characters just seem to be in the mix.

There's not much I can credit this drama with because the story was rather slow and the dialogue was both cliche and draggy. I felt as though I had to force myself to watch the rest of it. I think the only people that could enjoy this drama would be fans of Aya Ueto and even those people might find it a hard time sitting through this series.
3. Comments by g_hunter1 [Rating: 7/10]
This is one of the few dramas where I actually enjoyed Aya. The story involves a girl who ends up living with her father after the death of her mother. The father had no idea he had a daughter and has to somewhat adjust his life for her. I did not like most of the subplots in this drama. They were somewhat boring. It should have focused more on father-daughter relationship.
4. Comments by Angry Machines [Rating: 6/10]
Ueto's show, generally and its ok but forgettable. The OST belongs to her too!. Its an OK show, considering that Kitamura is in it and he's a cool thug to watch on TV but I really appreciated Kohinata's acting and dancing, he's a pro.
5. Comments by michiru3 [Rating: 4/10]
after watching 2 full eps and fastwarding ep.3, i can't watch anymore. There's no chemistry btwn Ueto Aya & her dad. The story's not interesting either. I can see where it's going already, so I stopped watching.
6. Comments by kinki_txr [Rating: 6/10]
Again Aya Ueto is very cute in this drama. This drama is about how a daughter and father relationship grew from the father not knowing that he has a daughter until the 17 year old daughter appear on his doorstep.
7. Comments by shozen [Rating: 10/10]
aya was cute as usual. it was my first drama too watching aya. at then i wasnt so into her. was getting to see her face a lot on tv. after watching this is what got hooked to her. she is adorable to watch.

A unusual drama, very coloured, moving and funny !
I like the atmosphere and humor of it, it reminds me a little City Hunter ! The duo Kitamura/Ueto is very amazing !
9. Comments by jovie2109 [Rating: 10/10]
hey..this drama is pretty good especially for those who has problems with their father..learn how to lov their own father n able to manage to accept how he is..

her dad was funnie as hell, and she was pretty funnie also, though i wished there was more stuff between her dad and his gf, and less dancing stuff.!

Not bad, but there's not much of private detective work. Mostly dance stuff. Fun to watch. Never heard omae said so much in a drama :)

Good drama with a great cast. Especially Aya, Kohinata Fumiyo and Kitamura Ikki were great.
I liked the story a lot but somethimes I had the feeling something was missing and I was a bit dissapointed about the end. It felt rushed and plain somehow and left many open questions.
