    One of the most affectionate, down-to-earth, wholesome slice-of-life dramas!
    Exceptionally detailed in every aspect: not even one character is unnecessary, not even one line or moment of silence is in excess, not even a scene is a filler...
    A real gem and a well-deserved 10/10 in my book.

    A precious hidden little gem!
    A short but wholesome slice of life drama about the relationships and dynamics, the character development and growth, as well as the daily challenges of an extended family of 2.5 generations, while tackling some serious social issues in the most sincere, subtle and delicate way.
    Matsuda Ryuhei did a splendid job depicting his hikikomori character, and his interactions with his nephew and niece were the most touching, sweet and cute parts of this wonderful story.
    Highly recommended!

    Such an awesome family drama!
    A wonderful depiction of father-son and friendship bonding through life's ups and downs, with their love, caring, support, respect and acceptance.
    Full of funny, touching and inspiring moments, a stellar cast and a magnificent Uchino Seiyou, who gave us one of the most dotting fathers ever existed in dramaland!
    Dramas like this are the reason I love family j-dramas.

    9.0

    A heartwarming, fulfilling family drama with a great balance of comic, sad, cute, action and slice-of-life moments, divided equally in many different subplots beautifully interwoven.
    A great cast, well-written characters with engaging interactions, and a proper closure for all.
    Ra Mi Ran with her fantastic performance was the heart and soul of this story, its driving force and its greatest asset.
    Lee Do Hyun did a great job with his demanding 'dual' role and proved that he is a young actor that must be taken seriously, while the twins and the yakuza lady were the cutest people and this drama's trademarks.

  • Not Others

    52. Not Others

    Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes

    8.5

    An enjoyable, heartwarming down-to-earth family drama, with a nice depiction of a mother-daughter relationship, bickering and bantering.
    Refreshingly unique women-centered story, with relatable dialogues and relationships, without many typical family drama tropes (except an unnecessary mystery subplot) and a well-balanced mixture of funny and touching scenes.
    Time well-spent.

  • Analog Squad

    53. Analog Squad

    Thai Drama - 2023, 8 episodes

    8.5

    An intriguing concept of true love and support among lying, fake family members!
    A bittersweet and very touching story of a found family, with a nuanced nostalgic vibe, engaging characters and many strong, heartfelt moments.
    Beautifully written, filmed and acted, with well-balanced comic and dramatic moments, this little gem is highly recommended for those who love family and found family tales.

  • Love Next Door

    54. Love Next Door

    Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes

    8.5

    A thoroughly enjoyable rom com, not much for the main romance, but mainly for the FL's story and character growth, as well as the family relationships and dynamics.
    Though the male characters (especially the ML) could have been written much better, the duration wisely reduced and the pacing towards the end effectively increased, it still had an interesting story to tell with a strong emotional impact and a heartwarming tone.
    Jung So Min -as Seok Ryu- was the highlight and biggest asset of this drama, Shim Ji Yoo -as Yeon Du- was the cutest character ever, and Lavender squad an exemplary sismance goal.

    Only for avid family makjang fans.
    Though it had some interesting subplots and cool ladies, there were too many frustrating, overly selfish characters and hair-pulling moments to fully enjoy the Bong family's story...
    At least Lee Sang Woo and Kim So Yeon met on the set and tied the knot shortly after :)

  • Red Balloon

    79. Red Balloon

    Korean Drama - 2022, 20 episodes

    8.0

    Adultery-centered makjang at its maximum!
    Flawed, grey and infuriating people in the most entangled predicaments.
    Toxic but addicting, with a great cast and fantastic chemistry.
    Not for innocent souls expecting rainbows and balloons...

  • Beautiful World

    80. Beautiful World

    Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes

    8.0

    Heartbreaking, as well as inspiring story of the aftermath that bulling, mistrust and miscommunication can cause to young students and their families.
    Although predictable and slow-paced, the exceptional, smooth and mature performances of the young actors, especially Kim Hwan Hee and Nam Da Reum (though I'd love to enjoy much more screentime of his) made this family melodrama an interesting watch.

  • Date My Daughter!

    81. Date My Daughter!

    Japanese Drama - 2021, 10 episodes

    8.0

    A heartwarming single mother-daughter relationship drama, with well-written characters and dialogues.
    Full of warmth, love, caring and support among everyone involved and a very cute romance.

  • Asura

    82. Asura

    Japanese Drama - 2025, 7 episodes

    8.0

    A family story beautifully filmed and acted that depicts realistically women's life in the late 70's, not only in Japan but in many other places in the world. Frustrating, infuriating some times, and deeply emotional in many others, this is a demanding and thought-provoking watch.

    94. Su Ji & U Ri

    Enjoyable for what it is, though too frustrating and over-the-top in many cases.

  • Disappointing Husband

    95. Disappointing Husband

    Japanese Drama - 2015, 10 episodes

    7.5

    A story of marriage, parenthood and everyday domestic/work life of a couple that had just become parents.
    Mostly lighthearted and funny, though it had some serious and frustrating moments, it felt too exaggerated and preachy sometimes. But, the character growth and the chemistry between the leads made it worth watching.
