  To start off,a really sweet, slightly tear jerking story.
  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. read more

  I LOVED THIS DRAMA SO MUCH!<3 <3 Both Aiba-kun (Masamune-kun) and Ishii-chan (Koharu-chan) were amazing. Its a touching, sweet, beautiful story about the bonds between parent and child, there's no romance in it, but it still made me cry. Everytime koharu-chan cried I cried :'<. I really enjoyed it and I will definitely recommend to all my friends. :)

  These 2 dramas have NOTHING similar but same name. Still both dramas are awesome.

  Both follow the struggles of single dads raising daughters under difficult circumstances. They have a similar tone and mix of happy/sad moments.
