As I was looking for an unforgettable drama like The Great White Tower, I stumbled across Karei naru ichizoku, another classic recommended by many on the Internet - and boy did it not disappoint. The grandiose nature of this drama and seemingly cheesy plot may put some off from watching this drama at first, but to tell you the truth, I was hooked right into it after watching the first episode. Story: Without trying to repeat the plot summaries on this website, this story is essentially about the struggles within the Manpyo family and the themes of hope, love, determination and trust. Overall, it is a highly thought-provoking story containing many lessons and things all of us viewers can learn from. Acting/Cast: This goes without saying, the cast + the acting was excellent. Kimura Takuya and Kitaoji Kinya were definitely the stars of this drama. I was also highly impressed with everyone else, each playing their role perfectly and causing us viewers to form connections with their characters - even at a personal level. Music: Delicious yet not too cheesy and annoying. Perfect for this type of drama and the grandiose nature of it. Rewatch Value: Definitely worth rewatching in the future. I apologize if I haven't really revealed as much as I could have in this review, but the story and impact that this drama can have on you speaks much louder than my words. I can safely recommend this drama to anyone. You will not regret it.
