Kazoku game is a drama I postponed watching for a very long time, and I do regret it, First of all this drama is tagged on the genre of family, drama. Even though it is essentially about a family I would add suspense and psychological genre. Because of the genre being family and drama I thought this drama was going to be about family bonding and growing together and all that cheesiness. That's why I was reluctant to watch it, but don't be mistaken this is more than a family drama!
This a very good suspense drama were at first you think Yoshimoto sensei (Sakurai's character) is a good teacher kind of Onizuka on GTO, but then you start to think he is only a twisted teacher and then again you think he's good but a little mischievous. And at the end of the drama you don't know what to think about his teaching and methods and whether he is a good intentioned teacher or a bad one. I think they leave it to us to choose to believe if he is good or bad.
This is also quite a dark drama, were they use a deep dark psychological approach on every character.
The acting was really well done Sho Sakurai did a wonderful job with Yoshimoto Sensei's craziness and over the top methods. Kamiki was also good on his acting as this double faced student and son.
For the rewatch value I set the rating on 7 because you will lose the surprise fact of the story once you watched it for the first time.
