Ghost Mama Sousasen (2012)

A light-hearted and heartwarming drama

This is a drama about a mother who died during her job, but remained on earth for 100 days as she was worried about leaving her young 7-year-old son. It was understood that she would leave for heaven after her son became more courageous and more independent. No one could see or hear her except her son who could see and hear her only if he wore her glasses. Thereafter it was 9 episodes of adventures of the family (plus her husband and step-daughter) with the main focus on her and the son.
Each episode is a different story, so there is no need to recall what the last episode was if you don't watch for a few days.
The last episode, as expected, was sad, when the mother had to leave upon her son becoming stronger and more independent.
All the actors and actresses acted well, including the young boy.
The entire drama is very light-hearted and many times heartwarming. The stories are very easy to follow, nothing complicated, mostly happenings around the neighborhood. There is no need to focus too much on the dialogues to understand what's happening either, because everything is rather simple, so you can easily watch this drama while eating or simply when you want to relax or even feeling tired and sleepy when you don't have to concentrate on the movements and conversations of the characters but still able to understand what's going on. I enjoyed this drama!

Attention Gokusen fans out there! You'll get to see the reunion of some Gokusen casts: Yankumi (Nakama Yukie), Shinohara Tomoya (Sawamura Ikki), Head Teacher Sawatari (Namase Katsuhisa) and shortly of Kuma (Waki Tomohiro) at episode 8. Yukie—Katsuhisa is the best duo ever!!!

This 9-episode fantasy drama is funny and sad, and the casts are adorable:

* Uehara Choko (Nakama Yukie) is pretty as always like she never ages, seriously! And she's a natural actress.

* Uehara Kohei (Sawamura Ikki). I saw his calm acting in Gokusen so I didn't see it coming—he's a comedian!

* Uehara Tonbo (Kimino Yuma) is very cute and a candy.

* Uehara Aoi (Shida Mirai) is not pretty to me but she gave justice to Aoi.

* Mifune Yoshiaki (Namase Katsuhisa). Damn hilarious!!! A veteran actor!

... However, there's just one exception—Teacher Yoshinaga. It's the way she acts that annoys me. Maybe it's the character she portrays, but cutesy acts like that really bother me because she looks immature, unnatural, almost stupid.

Ghost Mama Sousasen didn't get interesting until episode 3; so, if you couldn't feel it at the beginning, just get past the first two episodes. I'm keeping this because I might rewatch this in the future. I love the OST but I can't find it anywhere. Alas, I don't know the title.

Overall Rating: 7.5/10
