The struggles story of the Asayama family has now begun.

Written and directed by the renowned screenwriter Shin Adachi, this work is based on his serialized diary. It is a family drama depicting the challenges a household faces, portrayed through biting criticism, sharp scoldings, and rare moments of affection.

The story of a peculiar yet endearing family begins, showcasing a self-centered husband and a wife who, despite frequently losing her temper with him, prioritizes the needs of others over her own. Their contrasting personalities, along with their lovable, unique, and cheeky kids, create a whirlwind of misunderstandings and laughter, making us think about what the real family styles are!
