Do you a fan of anti-mainstream drama/movie? Then you should watch this.

The title is Kazoku Game (Family Game). Seriously, this dorama plot is  quite unpredictable. I'm kinda scared about telling too much and end up being spoiler :p

So, here we go.  This dorama tell us about Numata Family. There are Father, Mother, Shinichi Numata the older son, and Shigeyuki Numata the youngest. 

At first, we will understand that Shigeyuki is a 'troubled' kid who addict to game and refuse to go to school and no one in his family understand (or even try to understand) the reason. His parents just call private tutor to make him go to school again, and six tutor has give up.

Shigeyuki

And then comes the day when the father find a site about Yoshimoto Kouya, a private tutor who has successfully teach much student to get in to Todai University (it's kind of very popular uni)
So he called him to teach Shigeyuki and challenge him to make Shigeyuki back to school in one week.

That was just a simple prologue to all this 10 episodes of drama. No, no, don't worry about the cheesy family things or a super cute nonsense family or very simple student-teacher relationship.  No. This dorama is more than that. 

You would understand this is not a simple drama from the first episode.

Father,who's never thinking about Shigeyuki

There's so much mystery about Yoshimoto Kouya, about his past and all the reasons what makes him act like "psycho-something". Why he do such things to Numata Family.
And about Numata family which is really rotten inside. You gonna feel sick about this family.

I really love to watch it.  It's not heartwarming or too disturbing. The feels when I watch it, it's like in some scene you want to laugh but the pressure is too intense, and other scene you can't even cry or angry when you should be able to because the atmosphere was too light.
That's what im talking about the mixture emotions. This dorama makes you can't jump too high or down too low, and you just stand there holding your breath.

Yoshimoto-sensei

The soundtrack which is dominated by clarinet and maybe triumphant or something create a light atmosphere,  so when the scene is too much pressure,  the music is cheerful and strange. It makes your emotion mixed. That was brilliant! 

Mother, who's never want to talk about Shigeyuki

Brother, who's pretend to worry about Shigeyuki

Other things that makes me love this dorama is about the issue. They tell us about 'Ijime'(bullying) and how that can happen. (Yes I  was grateful for not being a student in Japan somehow -.-,the bully thing is too hard in there..)
They tell us how bully can happend, and not only about the victim, it's about the person who did that and WHY he/she could do something like that.
They tell us about family. About being a good parents. Parents should not stand still when their child is bullied or bullying people. They should not stand still when their child make a mistakes  they should fearless to face their own child. Being an 'as you wish' parents didn't solve anything and the worst way to raise a child. Or even to raise a family.

This dorama is really worth it to watch. It's not heartwarming or tearjerking,  but it is mind blowing!
