Spring 2013
Kazoku Game is about an eccentric personal tutor named Yoshimoto Koya (Sakurai Sho) who claims a 100% pass rate into Tokyo University. Attracted by this specialist, Numata Kayoko (Suzuki Honami) and Numata Kazushige (Itao Itsuji) hire him to help raise their middle school son, Numata Shigeyuki's (Uragami Seishuu) grades. Yoshimoto agrees to tutor Shigeyuki on the condition that nobody interferes with his methods of teaching. The Numata's soon find out Yoshimoto is quite abrasive and tends to cause a lot of trouble that affects the family members. Curious and annoyed by Yoshimoto's presence, the elder son, Numata Shinichi (Kamiki Ryunosuke) searches for Yoshimoto's credentials and stumbles upon a dark secret that could get Yoshimoto fired. Who really is Yoshimoto Koya? What are his true intentions? Will Shinichi solve Yoshimoto's secret before his family is destroyed?
Recommendation: This is the second drama in which I've seen Sakurai Sho in a leading role. I was really impressed with his acting. To be honest, everyone did a great job. From the first episode I was hooked. I realized early on that this drama was more than a tutor teaching a kid how to study and so I knew what would basically happen in the end, but the way the drama was presented, with so much mystery surrounding Sakurai Sho's character and his setups made for a suspenseful and exciting drama. If you like dark comedy that twists and turns, this is a good one to watch. For me, I have to put in my favorite's list as I think this is a drama that I won't soon forget. Hopefully there will be another season in the near future. That would be...いいね～ (good).
