Synopsis

Jiro Kanzaki is an F3000 test driver blessed with acute sensitivity and breathtaking driving techniques. He's a daredevil who feels no fear driving at speeds that even top racers dare not attempt. But unexpected trouble forces this world-famous racer to leave his team and return to Japan for the first time in years. Until he finds a new job as a racer, Jiro decides to stay with his parents. What awaits Jiro there is his hardheaded father, his nagging sister, the 12 children of the foster home his father runs, a snobbish male nurse, and a stubborn female nurse who likes to daydream about her life.
Jiro's return home brings a breath of fresh air that influences the people around him. However, he is still unaware that he too will eventually be influenced to change the way he thinks and lives. -- Fuji TV

It's a good story... I've watch it because of Sakai Masato although his character there don't show much of his talent... And you'll also see Toda Erika in her younger years...^^

The story is by definition very touching, it's interesting that every kid has a unique story. Also then, there's seemingly completely random connection with story of a racer LOL. Kimura's character Jiro is just so much fun, he always solve all tense situations without realizing it. Like "I don't know why you are yelling at each other, but stop messing with my business and move out of my way". He is like a perfect oniisan for the kids. Not too much caring, but always straightforward and fun to be with :)

I agree..they are cute but they can really make me cry:(

I finished it, it was a really nice drama, very heartwarming. The plot was sensible and gave me a very positive feeling afterwards.
