This drama is so good to the point that I find myself writing my very first review...So here it goes: At the first it might seem like one of those family dramas that have nothing new going on,but we soon start realizing that "Kazoku Game" is far from those boring and "normal" tv shows. Why? That's the magic of the whole drama... Even tough we think that we know what's going on, something seems to always suprise the audience, since the past of our main character seems to carry a lot of secrets that leaves us wondering if this character might hve good intentions or not, and in short time we end up just like the family by starting to trust too on Yoshimoto Kouya and hoping that beneath all of those strange tactics it's a good will. Good or bad will we watch this family succumb to Kouya game,and just like them we witness a change without even realizing...That was what Kouya did. He changed both the family and me,that by the end of the drama was completely schocked by how I cried and cried by the change of the main characters and most of all by the lesson that was taken from watching this inspirang drama that will remain in my mind for a long time...In fact this drama carries a lot of lessons that can apply to everyone that is watching,since it has a strong empathy, leaving the spectator feeling that he's part of this. Such lesson could only be done by the amazing Sakurai Sho. He's by far one of the best actors out there. His caracter was extremely hard to play ,but the did it beautifully ugly and cruel,but with a little bit of hope that made us empathize with him right from the start. The rest of the cast was very well chosen and believable,to the point that it felt REAL, and that's something quite rare. So,this is by far one of those dramas that will make you actually FEEL and carry the PAIN and JOY of this messed up family,that in the end might have a ..............ending . If you're reading this and are not sure wether to watch or not, trust me and find out what lies in these space between" a "and" ending".
