Synopsis
This drama takes a whole new approach by making stars act under their real name and collaborating with other TBS television shows. Nishikido Ryo acts as a popular idol and member of Kanjani8 (or as himself) who secretly marries a woman with three children. This comedic drama portrays the reality of show business and the importance of a family bond. Ryo has come to his girlfriend Haruka's house to ask her mother and children for her hand. Her eldest daughter refuses flat out saying that she doen't want an idol as her father. To make things worse, Kanjani8's manager finds out about the marriage and tells him to either get divorced within three months or end his career in show business. --TBS

Review

Such a good dorama and quite funny xD
Nishikido Ryo... just that... smile! *dies*
But PapaDoru annoyed me a bit. They are saying that Ryo has to either get divorced or leave Kanjani and they say they're thinking of the fans but if you think about it: wouldn't fan would rather have Ryo married and still in Johnny's rather than get married and just leave << I think that just leaving because of marriage would really piss fans off and make them hate JE overall than just Kanjani8.
But from what I've heard on Twitter, fans were very upset over KimuTaku getting married and that fans commited suicide when Akainishi Jin get married... all I gotta say to that is: WTF people and it's obvious those that react like that are NOT proper fans, they're just mentally deluded or mentally unstable people! A properly devoted fan would stand by their idols every decision and support them no matter what they do good or bad and if it is bad (like drugs) they'd be mad at them but still be there for them at the end!
Seriously, by watching this dorama, I've decided I'm going to start my own Entertainment Business in Japan where Twitter, Facebook is allowed along with marriages and relationships and I'm simply gunna be like "Fans that commit suicide or leave their idol or getting majorly angry over their bias/idol getting married/into a relationship.speaking their mind are just stupid and are clearly supporting that idol for the wrong reasons and don't deserve to be a fan of them!"
Yes I will defo stir up major shit when I'm in the business ne... xD
But besides that major rant of mine, I did enjoy it and I hope the doramas was watched by many and opened many 'fans' eyes and made them think about the idol and their life for once instead of their own fangirl/boying selfish life -__-
