Story 9/10 - Because I think it's not a new story and I still did not see the ending I give it a 9. But certainly it is easy to watch for a full hour, well paced and with an awesome message behind it. The japanese like their stable jobs and a little while back it was normal that a company would employ people for their lifetime. But since recessions struck this country hard "restructuring" became a synonym for angst. Kimura playing a homeless guy with a bright personality might give people hope to not give up completely after falling into poverty (people over there tend to do stuff like suicide). It's a story that gives hope through trust and friendship - still an all-time favorite. Throughout the series there is always the same question coming up - do we value what we have? Didn't money, greed and comfort zones destroy our joy in the simple and priceless things of life? You can checkout yourself - how much are you able to handle? When do you surrender to selfishness?
Acting 10/10 - well what should I say? It's Kimutaku. That guy is a natural at comedy. The rest of the cast is just as awesome with Karina (Nikaido) and Nikai Kiichi (Moai) or Fujiki Naohito (president of miracle electronics). Can't find any miscast - all are really great at what they are doing.
Music 9/10 - Who doesn't like the rolling stones? Come on^^ I jumped through my room when that came in the ending. again. and again. Well the rest is not that special (sounds like a pirate movie) but totally solid stuff.
I would watch it again. Really. And Overall - 9/10 - really a great drama.

Anyways, this drama really exceeded my expectations! From the description, it does seem like it could be a little boring or predictable, but it isn't at all! Not one minute did I ever guess what was gonna happen next! It was great casting as well as a wonderfully written script, the ending theme song was great and sometimes the story did get a little slow, but that is what makes the drama (in its entirety) so amazing!
Kimura Takuya and Fujiki Naohito were a wonderful pair of hero vs. bad guy, and Issey Ogata was really creepy and just plain evil in some episodes. It was great to see familiar faces coming together, too! Masana Bokuzo, Hiraizumi Sei, Masu Takeshi, Maeda Oshiro, and lots, lots more! This drama exceeded my expectations by so much; it's something to see if you're just getting in to Japanese dramas or if you're in a slump, I think. I laughed, I (almost) cried, and the entire time I was so nervous about what was going to happen next! I'm glad I watched this show; it's super amazing!

The first episode itself is something that made me wonder and want to continue watching. Let me rephrase that, the first 3 minutes got me hooked.This is a feel good JDorama about life, friendship, and family. It's an easy watch with a bit of everything.
All the cast did well, Takuya Kimura, did not fail me as always.
Here you'd be able to say that "Money is not always everything."

Ceritanya juga ngena banget. Kenapa ? karna nilai kehidupannya dapet disini, perjuangan tokoh utamanya bersama dengan teman-temannya juga kayak ngena di hati cuy. Terus comedynya mantap cuy, emang dapet ngakaknya wkwkwk.
Terus bicara tentang actingnnya, emang kimura-san (pemeran Fumio, salah satu tokoh utamanya) mendalami banget perannya disini. Jadi memang, jangan khawatir kalau elu, takutnnya acting disini kayak rada yahh... mengecewakan, nggk kok, malah bagus banget. terus nggk terlalu banyak scene yang buang waktu, semua scenenya punya tujuan tertentu, terus emang nyambung ama ceritanya.
Musicnya ok aja sih buat gua.
Terus, apa ini worth it buat ditonton ulang ? yahh worth it banget, gua aja sampe 3 kali nonton drama ini wkwkw. Jadi bagi yang udah nggk tau mau nonton drama apa, gua saranin banget deh ini.
