Roudee Jan 06 2022 10:13 pm This drama make me cry

Max Jul 13 2020 1:59 am The father doesn't fit as a father...he looks too young, and has no control in the house. The big kids are annoying. I like Urara...she's clumsy, but she loves the kids. I don't like the story evolving around the father's afair with his co-worker, which led to his wife's death.

Androidlizard Feb 04 2018 7:13 am This is one of the best doramas I've seen. It's a must watch. I liked Mita-san and the whole family. It was worth watching.

pppppkk Dec 23 2016 4:36 pm i love it

but i don't like ep 11

BeanDais Feb 23 2015 9:03 pm rating of last ep =40%, what the...... never saw Korean version but i really don't like any drama remake by Korean.

ManWithSword Jul 27 2014 2:52 pm I loved this. Like the family, you gradually grow to love, fear and then empathize with Mita-san. What I like most is that anyone who has studied literature and Freudian psychoanalytic theory will immediately recognize Freud's ideas concerning the uncanny (unheimlich) being used to contrast the familiar and the unfamiliar, the real and the unreal, the dream and reality, past and present, the funny and the frightening. Anyway, I'm watching Japanese drama to help me learn Japanese in my spare time. I used to have Japanese flatmates and I love the people, the culture, and the language.

Michiyo Harumi Apr 27 2014 9:42 am Just finished ep 8. Wow I can't believe Mita-san. If she was assigned to my family i'd just screem and run away. As i would be running i'd be saying "the lady is psyco get her out of my house!"

This show is super crazy I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!

Putragis Dec 30 2011 2:33 am Rating of 40?! This thing's unbelievable!

darkmax Dec 22 2011 4:15 pm Damn... Matsushima-san is still very appealing after more than a decade of watching her....

vietnam Dec 14 2011 10:40 am cool drama! best drama 2011 I think! feel interesting when watch...laugh all times haha

James Slipper Dec 10 2011 5:36 pm The drama's good, esp the storyline, but too many child acting 101 and sad-scene-tears-cliche spoil the whole fucking thing.

~crystal~ Dec 08 2011 8:29 pm This drama is definitely one of the best japanese dramas I've watched! The storyline and the characters are very unique and unpredictable unlike most dramas are. It got me hooked from the very first episode..the actings and all seemed so real as they managed to grab the emotions easily. The story is getting more intense every episode and I can't even leave my computer when I'm watching it. So I'm really looking forward to the last episode..n lastly I REALLY RECOMMEND YOU TO WATCH IT!! I guarantee that you'll love it as much as I do ^^

anyeeM229 Nov 20 2011 10:24 pm mita reminds me of matsu takako's character in "confessions." creepily charismatic.

mikomiko123 Nov 19 2011 10:39 am Probably one of the best japanese drama for the past few years. It's been so long since we've seen such great human drama! Most the things out there are crap. We'd love to see more of Nanako-san and all the other great actors such as: Amami Yuki, Shinohara Ryoko, Abe Hiroshi, Nakama-Yukie, and etc.

Yuey Nov 11 2011 10:22 am I have watched 5 episodes and it is brilliant. One of the best drama I've seen. If you haven't watch it yet, give it a go, you won't regret it.

NATCAASI Nov 11 2011 9:58 am Best J Drama i have seen in a WHILE!!!!(That said we are only at the mid season point do not know how things will pan out eventually) Not to mention ... rating this high and not a Taigai ... whats more to say!!!

- By Nov 03 2011 6:27 pm very interesting !!

Rated 100%

i saw the first two episodes and found it very interesting ... its basically about a family employing a housekeeper since their mother died , so they employed housekeeper who seems to be very mysterious . the story gets more and more interesting when the father get to know that the housekeeper will do anything she is ordered to do..even to the extent of killing someone !the family still liked her very much !i definitely recommend this one ! :) i think its worth watching!!!.

gcubed Nov 03 2011 6:24 pm I read the description of this drama several times before I finally decided to watch the first episode. After the first episode I was completely hooked. This is one of those dramas that doesn’t come along very often where everything in the story is pretty original. Each episode seems to become more intense than the previous episode as more problems within the family keep getting exposed. Working quietly at the center of all this is Mita, the housekeeper. From the first moment she is introduced you know she is a strange and mysterious character. Her ways of doing housework and other things are almost robotic including how she will do pretty much anything she is ordered to do if she has the ability, including killing someone. You begin to look forward to the moments in an episode where she is asked to do something that you normally wouldn’t ask a housekeeper to do. And as she does the task you will still be shocked that she actually went through with it. This show really does have some remarkable writers and even though you may have come to this show because of Matsushima Nananko, you will most definitely continue watching because of the story. I don’t give a 10 out 10 stars to very many shows, but this one is top notch. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something different..

jumanah Oct 25 2011 10:00 am Its Nothing like nannyMcphee Kids never cared to have her in the house and she never mad them do anything she remindes more about the queen of the class room

MJ Oct 13 2011 10:55 am After watch episode 1 Kaseifu no Mita - reminds me of Nanny McPhee. Mita Akari (played by Nanako Matsushima) is Japanese Nanny NcPhee.
