My sister asked me earlier this week, “Have You Seen Atashinchi no Danshi?” “Nope,” I said, “I want to but my internet connection sucks.” I am using cable internet, but it’s not as good as I am used to in the US. So, I have to depend on DVDs, etc. She gave me a tip on a streaming video website for drama and movies: mysoju.com. It works out great and I went on to do a 5 episode marathon of Atashinchi Danshi.

Honestly, the theme is quite typical. It’s just another story about triumph over psychological trauma with the help of hero/heroine through persistence, tender-loving-care, examples and other wonderful things that might touch their soul. However, the plot and comedy is fun and entertaining. It’s not a knee slapper, but it made me smiled, giggled and kept my full attention.
