Cast: Nishikido Ryo, Mizukawa Asami, Kuge Kokoro
and Yamasaki Ryutaro.
This story is about the Hongo family:
the father Hongo Yuuji (Nishikido Ryo), the mother Hongo Sachiko (Mizukawa
Asami), the son Hongo Masaru (Yamasaki Ryutaro) and the narrator, the daughter
and youngest Hongo Mako (Kuge Kokoro).
Yuuji works as a salary man, and has a
hard time, getting all the dirty work by requiring the resignations from factory
workers - which mostly ends up with him kneeling, or the one people vent their
anger on. Sachiko is a housewife, but also works part-time several places in
order for the family to survive. Though poor, the family is scraping money in
order to take a family trip, by saving pennies.
One day Mako sees a stray dog that
keeps returning to the same spot, abandoned by his owner. She ends up saving
the dog from dog catchers and decides to bring it home. And changes the family
for good…
This is one cute family drama! It has
all the real-life issues that people have a hard time dealing with, and
surprisingly very educational - not in the teaching aspect, but more of an
inspirational characteristic… I honestly have a weird feeling that Nishikido
Ryo has some secret family somewhere and he is preparing all his fans by making
them watch all these family dramas, so that they won’t be shocked to see him
with family. Besides that this drama has great actors, the kids even, which
made it more enjoyable. The dog in this drama wasn’t the complete focus, yet
part of the bigger picture.
Overall pretty enjoyable!
