Synopsis
The tale of four brothers and their widower father, who heads a large Buddhist temple in Tokyo. Goro Kishitani, the oldest brother, does not want to take over the temple. He prefers only to pass through now and then to exercise his eldest brother prerogative and hit No. 2 brother Masahiro Nakai (SMAP's MAPPY) over the head. Nakai, who really wants to be a sportswriter, appears to be in line for the temple takeover and zips around in a motorcycle helmet and Buddhist robes to chant sutras for the dead. Papa-san frequents Ginza clubs and had a cigarette or a toothpick dangling from his mouth for most of the first episode. He hires an "Otonashi Karen look-alike" (Kimura Yoshino) with a crush on Nakai as housekeeper and she bops around the temple grounds as if it was Shibuya on a Sunday. The opening sequence where they all grab guitars, line up in black robes in front of the temple incense burner, and rock back and forth as if disciples of the Elvis Presley sect of Buddhism is classic in its own way though.

Story about 3 brothers,their father and a gal who comes into their lives. U see the change in the family and the conflicts and problems they face. But the way the resolve it is touching. U have to wathc the show to the end to appreciate the goodness if it. And u must pay attention to the 2nd brother-jin. Alot of things revolve around him.

A great daily life story of a family!^^ And then a girl comes into their life as the housekeeper, and everything changes...it gets very interesting each episode, esp. because there's a spark between the girl and the 2nd brother, but then it just hit the top and went downhill...the ending is actually a dissapointment for me....coz it's neither happy or sad, the girl left the family, and the family just back to where they were used to be...>_<

A very funny drama~ Papa-san is kawaii at times and it's the first time I haven't seen Yoshino acting out a character like Nana before. It's the first time I've seen Tsubasa acting too. Nakai was great in the dorama! Love Jin! ^_^V

Great acting! All the characters' roles are well portrayed and brings the plot together nicely. The ending is a bit of a let down though for this kind of a drama.

A single-parent drama with a Buddhist twist. I am always impressed by the fact that Nakai can act way better than he can sing...
