As some of you may know, I am a HUGE fan of the 2007 rakugo based drama “Tiger And Dragon, and when I read that the same Director (Fuminori Kaneko) and Cast (Nagase Tomoya, Nishida Toshiyuki, Arakawa Yosi, etc) were going to be in a new drama Ore No Ie No Hanashi, I couldn’t wait to see it....
Basic storyline is that Pro Wrestler (Nagase) comes from an established family of NOH players, one of which he had long since abandoned. He gives up his career when he hears his father (Nishida) is ailing and prepared to take over the family legacy. But with a fussy father, grumpy siblings and a suspicious caretaker (Erika Toda) seemingly interested in his father for his inheritance, he has his hands full....
So far I can't say I've been overly thrilled by this drama... Far from the fun premise of a Pro Wrestler becoming a NOH performer, this is filled with a lot of morose moments and draggy plot points..Hope the show picks up soon!
