Freeter, Ie o Kau 1! jdrama about a young man who quits his office job not knowing what to do with his life. He 'freeloads' at his parents' home until one day, his mother falls sick with depression. He then snaps out his funk to get a part-time job at a construction site after his father accuses him of being the reason for his mother's illness. Ninomiya Kazunari (Arashi) plays the freeloader. The story is a serious drama about what motivates people to live. The first episode was mostly depressing, and whole premise looks too predictable to watch. I'm betting that the main character finds some meaning in his life, finds an understanding with his strict father, and reaches his sick mother in the upcoming episodes. He may even get the girl, too. If you are looking for a serious human drama to watch, the cast is strong and production is good. Eh, I'm looking for fluff or action, so I'll skip the rest of this.
