Hanayome No Papa

It's almost a month...

... and I finally finished watching Hanayome No Papa!! :D :D

lol, it's not that there was too many episodes to watch
(you know me, I'm a Korean/Japanese drama series junkie!)

It only has 12 episodes, so series-wise, it's pretty short :)



*click on the image for the source* :)

Basically, it's called, "The Bride and Her Father".
So, you get the picture.

It's about a single father who comes to terms with his almost grown up daughter;
dealing with marriage and work.

OKAY D:
I ADMIT IT. I WATCHED THIS MOVIE
CAUSE JUNNOSUKE TAGUCHI WAS IN IT ;x

So yeah. I'll start reviewing now.
(and I'll try to be as UN-biased as possible)

SPOILER ALERT!!

So the drama opens up with the introduction of Uzaki Aiko and her father, Uzaki Kentaro,
who also calls himself "Papa".
They are a father-daughter team, and Aiko is about to start work in a fashion-related industry.

Despite that, her father still enforces house rules like,
7 pm curfew, forbidden socializing with boys/men, forbidden overnight trips...
because he loves his daughter so.

Of course, Aiko thought he will do away with those rules once she start work...
but Kentaro declares that she will continue to live under those rules until the day Aiko gets married.

Thus, Aiko now begins her journey of finding a partner to get married to "graduate" from her father.

Once she starts work, she meets up with Miura Seiji (Taguchi♥) who ends up becoming
her husband-to-be. Together, they face many comedic obstacles as Kentaro stands in between their goal.

Personally, I kinda have this love-hate sort of thing for this drama.
I mean, this drama reminds me lots of comedy-genre anime,
simply because the cast acts like that (or the Japanese people aren't that serious?)
And I didn't really like it that way (I wasn't expecting this kind of comedy, truthfuly) =/

It is also boring, but the pace picks up around the 6th episode...
(the part where Miura's mother shows up)
So if you are patient (like me XD), you'll only get to see the good parts after that.
And after which, there are lots of crying (sadness and me don't match D:)

The good parts are, at least, it was fun to watch Kentaro's antics as he does his best
to prevent Aiko from getting married...
and misunderstands TONS of things along the way.
Also, some parts revolving around Aiko's colleagues are lol to watch xP

Also, (it's only because I like Taguchi that I'm able to say this!!!)
Taguchi's role fit him very well XD
I do kinda expect him to act that way in real life too. 8D
He's cute even when he shouts and gets angry 8D 8D 8D!!!
But I suppose it's only cause this role isn't serious at all for him.



He's definitely the playful type ♥


Summary!

Pros:
Junnosuke Tagu- *slaps self*
Is SUPER CLEAN :D
Deals with marriage vs work questions
Character develpoment is quite ok

Cons:
Weird intro to the anime-comedy-drama mismatch
A little boring at the start of the plot
Difficult to empathize with characters

So... my rating?
If you are a fan of Junnosuke:
★★★★★

If you chanced on this drama by accident,
(and don't have any strings attached for either actor/actresses):
★★★★★

Yeah =/
I'm giving the ratings based on other dramas that I've watched, so...
GAMBATTE, Japanese Dramas!
I know there's one out there who can topple off Shining Inhertance's topspot in my heart :D
