Goro Yamashita (Yukiyoshi Ozawa) was a busy salaryman with an adoring wife named Taeko (Manami Honjo) and a precocious daughter named Tomo (Riko Fukumoto).
But when Taeko passes away, it leaves husband Goro in a state of malaise, making him lose his job and lock himself up in his room.
His daughter and father try to support him best they can, but things aren’t looking too bright unless he can get out of his funk.
It’s then that a chubby old man (Muga Tsukaji) enters their life and begins taking care of the household!
Goro and Tomo don’t know what to make of this man as he busies himself in their house- but are stunned when he announces that he is Taeko…reborn as a man!!!
Father and daughter naturally don’t believe a word of this, and the man is repeatedly tossed out of the house!
They try to keep him at bay with his repeated attempts to re-enter their lives, but whether or not this man is really the deceased Taeko reincarnated, one thing is clear- this torn family needs HELP, and it looks like HE’S the only one who can bring it!
Hahaha, Papa ga Mo Ichido Koi wo Shita is one of those wacky shows you can watch when you just want something lightweight and fun to pass the time…
PS: With a show full of young stars like this one, I am keenly aware to take notice of them since some of them may go on to become huge favorites of mine in some 6 or 7 years from now, including not only Riko Fukumoto, but also the actors who play her school pals like Serina Niimi, Sawa Nimura and Jiei Wakabayashi…
as well as her co-workers like pretty Haruka!
Always gotta remember that the kids of today are the stars of tomorrow!!!
