SYNOPSIS :
Tanaka Misako stars as a woman struggling to raise her three sons - played by Tamayama Tetsuji, Hayami Mokomichi and Nakao Akiyoshi - after her husband dies. Kuninaka Ryoko will appear as Tamayama's girlfriend, Chisato.

They don’t know when to stop, and live life to the full—meet the never-a-dull-moment Sakurai family, where nobody holds their feelings back. Returning to serial drama for the first time in five years, Misako Tanaka and the three hyperactive sons provide a story with a heartbeat. Sakurai Harue (Tanaka) who has brought up her sons alone after her husband died, is absolutely hopeless at running a household. Her eldest, stickler Tatsuya (Tamayama), does the job in her place while keeping younger brothers Riku (Hayami), and Junpei (Nakao) firmly in line. The sparks are constantly flying, but that’s the way it goes in this home. Tatsuya, a serious-minded advertising agency worker, and his brothers, an easy-going swimming instructor and rather naïve student, are three good-lookers who, along with their useless live-wire of a mother, keep getting into all sorts of scrapes—in love and at work. This is the Sakurai household, where everything hangs loose and everyone always speaks their mind. Tanaka says she really loves this ‘perfect family.’ They are sure to win your hearts too!

* LIKE THE STORYLINE.... HIRO CHAN LOOK SO CUTE IN THIS DRAMA.

though i started watching this because of hiro (and death threats from a friend) i totally recommend it to ANYONE who likes humor. seriously.
and even though it seems to be mainly a comedy, there are still those cheesy moments and a love story in them.

as for hiro, he plays yoshi, who is the friend of middle brother riku (hayami mocomichi) who works at the pool as a swim instructor with him and goes on various go-kon (group dates) with him. he doesn't do much but you do get to see him in a swim suit if you are careful enough. Cool

Hiro in swimwear Shocked

*late resolution for 2008: watch Brother Beat*
