Atashinchi no Danshi



I almost gave up this show when I was halfway watching through episode 2. Glad I did not stop! Aside from the really cheesy storyline, it was a really terrific show despite the fact that I do not like Maki Horikita(The main female in Kurosagi and Hana Kimi). I simply couldn't quite understand why she gets really good roles when she's acts as stiff as a wooden puppet and she isn't really pretty to begin with. Yet again, this is another show with Kaname Jun.




Atashinchi No Danshi summary (from wiki)



Maki Horikita stars as Chisato Mineta, a 20-year-old homeless girl who moves about from parks to net cafes. Her mother died due to an illness, and because of her father's disappearance after earning an incredible 100 million yen debt, she is chased out of her home. Every day, Chisato must fight a battle with this debt, until one day she meets the president of a huge toy company, who agrees to pay off her debts if she marries him. Chisato now finds herself as the young mother of six eccentric sons, all adopted by the head of the company as successors to the company. However, each son has had experiences in the past that caused them to trap themselves in their own worlds. Will Chisato be able to open up their hearts and turn these strangers into a loving family?



Just like any other good Japanese drama, there's a twist in it. And most importantly, there's romance!!! *notice the 3 exclaimation points* We seldom find romance in Japanese dramas, so extra points for this.


I'm not gonna spoil the show by saying who she'll end up with, but actually almost all of them actually felt something for her. But, here are my favourites...





and here, a sneak picture of him in Mei-chan no Shitsuji. Love his hair here..


My first time seeing him, and he appeared in my next drama, Mei-chan no Shitsuji! (posting it next) He's really tall with a cute smile, though he is quite old in my range of pretty boys, he still qualifies.


Mukai Osamu as Sho Okura

25 years old.

The Third son of the Ookura family.His occupation is that of a host.The establishment he works in moves from place to place, but he constantly stays the number 1 host due to his outward appearance and art of conversation.Shou grew up in an orphanage and got adopted when he was 10 years old.He never had a family and therefore he respected his new benefactor a lot.However, something caused a breach in their relationship when he was 18, so big that he left from home.After that he started to make a living by working as a host.On the surface he seems like a cheerful character who is easy to make happy, but he's actually a realist.He's working recklessly, because he believes that all he needs is money.What he hates the most, is when somebody makes fun of him by calling him Ookurashou (former Ministry of Finance).He became an assertive man with his motto, "If you have time to do it, do it."

The really cute ghost guy in Hana Kimi. The cool guy in Rescue, and now, the gay in Atashinchi no Danshi. I can't say he's gay, he just have a phobia with female and he wears blue eyeshadow. Not my favourite role of him, he had some cute moments but the blue eyeshadow killed it. ARGHHHHHHHH!



Yamamoto Yusuke as Masaru Okura 22-years-old,


The Okura family’s fourth son.He's an exclusive model for fashion magazines and very charismatic.His popularity is really incredible and yet he's still a virgin...At work he's the cool and attractive man, but in reality he's indecisive and a man of gentle manners.He's really shy, especially of other people and panics, if a woman comes within a 1m radius around him.Masaru got treated really cruelly during his first love and that experience left him with a trauma.It's also rumored that he only became a model to take revenge on that girl...He basically has no self-confidence at all and sometimes can be really menial.Both of his parents died very early and he was left in the custody of his grandmother.His grandmother also died when he was 8 and that's when get adopted by Shinzo.He's now living in the "Trick Heart Castle."At first glimpse he really seems like a gentle person, but he's actually very egoistic and unsocial.He doesn't have any friends either.

Ratings: 8/10. Kinda draggy in the beginning and I still do not like Maki Horikita *don't you think her smile is really annoying?*
