Synopsis:
     Kimura Takuya returns to Monday nights at Fuji TV as an ordinary salary man, Kindaichi Fumio, who is loved by colleagues and trusted for his ability to protect subordinates. One day, however, things take a 180 degree turn and his life becomes completely flipped upside down. His superiors fix their eyes on him and concoct a plot to bring him down. He is held responsible for a crime he has no recollection of, and is forced to leave his position. More unfortunate events follow as Kindaichi loses literally everything from his cellphone to his home, ending up without a penny in his pocket. Shocked by his losses, he one day meets two children in the park by chance who teach him how to get by without any dependency on money. The greatest thing about Kindaichi's character is that his character never fails him. He always has a carefree attitude and is driven by those people he meets, who love and support him, not by inflicted pain or grudge against others.

Despite being the man who has lost all his possessions, Kindaichi continues to move forward, inspiring his former boss, Moai Kengo, and conservative office co-worker, Nikaido Aya, resulting in a big turning point for each of them. What is it that money can't buy? What is the most precious thing in life? A man tells the story of finding that "priceless" something in life, through unpredictable turns and twists with a light comedy touch.

p.s. spoilers coming up.
     i like this drama. it tells us that it isn't too late to start over as long as you have a positive insight and really working hard. but in every success, you have to face failure first. although everything in this drama is always almost too good or too bad that it didn't seem realistic at all.
     okay, so Kindaichi became homeless because they took everything from him. but didn't he have any friends at all? from school or university? same with Nikaido. she automatically became homeless. no savings or friends or family? what happened to Moai was really harsh. his family abandoning him just because he lost his job. they were only after his money, what kind of family was that? and didn't he have any saving at all, too? and Oyashiki! he's freaking rich! he temporarily abandoned his post as president but that didn't mean that he lost his house or all his money. why did he end up living in the streets? just to experience it? everyone in this drama became homeless.

My Ratings: i'll give this 3/5 :)
