first of all i really liked the idea of an idol playing himself. the story didn't have any big suprises, but it had a nice flow of events and was very enjoyable. it's interesting to see the behind the scenes life of a star and lets face it: we all want to see them being humans, just like you an me, sometimes.;)
i have liked nishikido ryo for a while, but still i was surprised by his acting: i think he is a truly great actor! i loved the kids, especially mei-chan, her character was played really well. the whole family atmosphere was very nice, crazy and fun, like they were a real family.
what i was missing was:
the love-story between nishikido and haru-chan. i mean, okay it was set up that they were already in love, then married and it showed all the problems that come with being in a family. but maybe a few more hugs or a little kiss on the cheek sometimes would have been nice. i really loved the relationship of nishikido and the kids. but they got more love and body contact from him than their own mom! poor haru-chan^^° yeah so basically missing the feelings between the main couple. but okay, i get it.. it's more a family drama and not a romantic love story.
also i think they could have had a little bit more of the guest star thing. it was fun and it would have been a nice fan-service!also the rest of kanjani8 should have at least met nishikido's family.
even though i am not a big fan of kanjani8 maybe they could have showed more of them being in a concert or.. dunno.. doing fun stuff together. but i guess there is enough of that in japanese tv already.^^°
the music was mostly from kanjani8 of course and went very well with the story.
i wouldn't rewatch it... unless i am missing my family and want to see another family having fun...or i want to see nishikido ryo's face :P
all in all it was a nice family drama with funny and touching moments. i'll recommend it to anyone who wants to take a break from overly emotional love stories and of course to fans of nishikido ryo!;D

When I started the drama and told my friends about it (the ones that watch JDrama too) they all said either that they dropped it or that they didn't like it very much, so I was anxious to find out if I like it or not.
Now that I finished it, I finally have my own opinion about the whole drama.
I'm honest here and tell you that the drama is far away from being one of my favourites!
The acting was nice, but not superb as well as the whole story in itself was not too exciting or surprising.
However, there are still a lot of things we fans can learn from the drama and there are one or two points that we should think about again.
Being an idol is definintely not easy, we all might know this already. Still watching what hardships they have to face every day and that they people rather believe in what the press is saying than trusting the idol itself if definintely not coming from the imagination of the script writer.
Also, the question, do you want your idol to marry and lead a happy life with the woman/man he/she loves or do you want your idol to stay single forever so you can go on dreaming about leading a life with him/her in your own fantasy...I guess its something that you will think about again after watching the drama and might change your opinion (or not).
The drama really makes you reconsider some of your ideas of being an idol and that's the appealing point of this drama, I think.
Also, as someone who likes Kanjani, I enjoyed the scenes with the other members and also the title song by Kanjani is nice to listen to.
You should give the drama a chance and if you do not expect stunning acting and an intruiging story, you might not even be too disappointed after finishing it...

I read an article one time that stated the fact that every one that goes into Johnny's (it was an articles on JE so I will expand and say Asian Idol Entertainment in general) knows that this is part of being an Idol. That the people are groomed and trained and are a part of the managing staff's Product to present to the fans or Customers.
This drama humanizes my above statement, having recently watched all the apologies from KAT-TUN in the 10ks Tour for Taguchi leaving to be with his longtime girfriend, I know that the drama represented here is real, probably dramatized, but real. I watched this to complete "Sho-Kun's" acting list for me, but was surprised how much I loved watching all of Kanjani 8 and Nikishido Ryo in this. The acting was well done and the situations were as real as one can get with a blended family. As far as the romance not being to showy...comfortable love is sometimes like that. Sharing the burden with someone you will be with for the rest of your life is sometimes more important than a kiss or even a hand hold. You get that from this drama.
