The Asayama Family
©ABC TV
A sharp-tongued wife and her “regrettable” dreamer husband.
Written and directed by Shin Adachi, the Japan Academy Prize-winning screenwriter of 100 YEN LOVE (remade as “ YOLO” in China). Based on his own serialized diaries, this family dramedy captures the raw, bittersweet chaos of a creator’s family with biting wit and rare moments of genuine affection.
A self-centered husband, Kenta, puts his family second for the sake of his dream, interacting with them only when it suits his own convenience. Meanwhile, his wife, Asako, is a powerhouse who takes the lead in both her job and the household. To support Kenta’s long-held ambition of becoming a film director, she pushes him forward with a commanding presence, prioritizing her family’s needs over her own.
As Kenta finally pursues his directorial debut, the couple must navigate a whirlwind of family matters, including their daughter’s silent rebellion and their son’s social struggles. What does it truly mean to be a “real” family when dreams and reality collide?
