  This drama is simply great :)
  
  Aiba Masaki indeed do a great job as Masamune-kun. He fully showed the anxiousness and uncertainty that Masamune-kun was feeling about the changes in his life. Masamune-kun did his very best in his own way to show his daughter her value to him, realizing along the way how the little girl changed his life for the better. He loved Yuuko-san, tho the way she left was kind of a cliche, I still think that it's a nice way of using those predictable conflicts.
  
  Ishii Momoka-chan was just so good in this :') Every time she cries, I would feel tears in my eyes. She portrayed her role magnificently, showing the viewers how mature and independent Koharu-chan is at such a young age, even after the loss of her mother and a faithful meeting with the father she only knew from stories. She would do her best to help Masamune-kun take care of her.
  
  Other characters really helped build up this great drama and helped the two connect, like father and daughter. The music was great, as well.
  
  It's definitely worth to re-watch this drama. It's warm feeling and sweetness will bring you guys smiles :) read more

  My Girl

  These 2 dramas have NOTHING similar but same name. Still both dramas are awesome.

  Both follow the struggles of single dads raising daughters under difficult circumstances. They have a similar tone and mix of happy/sad moments.
