Aiba Masaki indeed do a great job as Masamune-kun. He fully showed the anxiousness and uncertainty that Masamune-kun was feeling about the changes in his life. Masamune-kun did his very best in his own way to show his daughter her value to him, realizing along the way how the little girl changed his life for the better. He loved Yuuko-san, tho the way she left was kind of a cliche, I still think that it's a nice way of using those predictable conflicts.
Ishii Momoka-chan was just so good in this :') Every time she cries, I would feel tears in my eyes. She portrayed her role magnificently, showing the viewers how mature and independent Koharu-chan is at such a young age, even after the loss of her mother and a faithful meeting with the father she only knew from stories. She would do her best to help Masamune-kun take care of her.
Other characters really helped build up this great drama and helped the two connect, like father and daughter. The music was great, as well.
It's definitely worth to re-watch this drama. It's warm feeling and sweetness will bring you guys smiles :)

Acting/Cast - They picked good actors, specially the one who portray the roles of Kazama Masamune and Kazama Koharu, I love them! :)
Music - as you know Aiba Masaki is one of the members of Arashi so expect a great song from the group. ^^
Rewatch Value - of course, I would love to watch it all over again!
Overall - Great Story! Must watch, and prepare a handkerchief beside you. hehe. Enjoy! ^^

Aiba was really good in his role. I think he really portrayed the uncertainty mixed feelings of Masamune. Acting on Momoko (Koharu) was also great for a child actor. She wasn't Ashida Mana, but I think she performed really well with this role (really cute ^^) . Their joint acting was adorable and you could easily sympathies with them. The rest of the cast was also great.
I am a big ARASHI fan so you might think I'm bias when I say that the music was wonderful. But it honestly was. The slow but uplifting music went really well with the whole theme and mood of the drama.
On a negative note though, I though the relationship ship between Masamune and Koharu was a bit too distant at first and suddenly very close at the end. but that's about the only complaint I've got.
So, if you are tired after too many closed door mysteries or high speed car chases or hot actors/actresses pulling impossible stunts with guns and bullets, this will be a nice way to come back to the earth. It's a really sweet and gentle story that I think everyone can enjoy.

This drama was no disappointment at all, it is a believable slice of life drama of single father-hood in Japan. The child actress was very good and did her part excellently. There is an unconventional love story here which I will not spoil but I promise you it is there. The actors did their part of making you believe they are father and daughter, and I totally agree that this drama is totally under rated. It should be on more peoples favorites list. And to top it off Episode 10 has a guest cameo of another Arashi member.
Now off to watch another drama.....
