This is a wonderful drama that is close to real life's problems, every scenes seem natural. We have overbearing parents, doormat spouses, sheltered kids, dirt poor lovers around us. The only one that does not seem real is Kahoko's extended family. Grandparents, uncles/aunts, and her cousin seem perfect, until one by one's issues are revealed throughout the drama. Kahoko and Hajime's chemistry is natural and sweet. Her transformation from dependent to dependable is painful to watch, thankfully Hajime and her big family are very supportive. The actor and actress who played as her parents really aced as dysfunctional father/mother.
