Synopsis:
The Family Game was originally an award winning novel by Honma Yohei that was adapted for television drama and film. 30 years later, the story returns to the screen again on Fuji TV, Wednesday nights. Sakurai Sho stars in this troubling drama as the private tutor Yoshimoto Koya. Koya becomes a tutor to a student, Numata Shigeyuki, an underachiever on the verge of dropping out of middle school. Expecting immediate results, Shigeyuki’s father makes a deal with Koya that if he could make Shigeyuki return to school within a week, he would receive a 100,000 yen bonus. Koya accepts the offer, replying that he would only need 5 days to complete the mission but demands that no one should interfere with his methodology in doing so.
A handsome face with a reckless mouth, Koya is a wacky unpredictable pro tutor. How will he save Shigeyuki, a boy who has been bullied in school, betrayed by his best friend, and become a shut-in at home? How will he educate Shigeyuki to change his ways? What is Koya’s motivation in teaching? Koya’s "education" is nothing like anyone has ever imagined. You just have to see it yourself to believe it! -
Sukaretto says:
p.s. spoilers coming up.
the story is really interesting, you get to guess what really happened, what was real and what was manipulated. and it's open ended, what if the the "truth" wasn't really the truth at all? i think there will be a season 2 soon. ah, and can i say that the family's fucked up big time? it's really a miracle they were able to change. oh, and they should've used more make-up on Kamimi Ryunosuke's face. lols. no, seriously.
My Ratings: i'll give this 4/5 :)
