Japanese drama review - 7 Days between Father and Daughter / ???????7?? (Papa to Musume no Nanokakan)
To sum up this drama series in one word: LOL! I’ve just finished watching this wonderful comedic drama. (official site here) Starred by Japanese teen idol Aragaki Yu (????) and Hiroshi Tachi (????), in the drama the souls of the father and the daughter are interchanged due to a train accident. Relationship between the father and daughter is pretty bad in the beginning, like the daughter wouldn’t talk to the dad since she thinks he’s annoying, and the dad wouldn’t talk to her as he scares that she wouldn’t like it. Then the other day this train crash accident happens, and the soul of the girl goes into the father’s body and vice versa. Yup this is pretty crazy (and unrealistic) but it does create LOTS of funny moments XD… like the girl doesn’t want her father to see her body when she baths (since the father’s using the girl’s body), so she has to cover up her dad’s eyes and bathe for him~ and also the girl has to work at her dad’s office, attend office conferences…etc. The father has to cramp for the exams for his daughter at school, and he even has to go for a date with some guy for her! (and of course since the dad doesn’t like his daughter going for dates so he (inside his daughter’s body) acted so weirdly during the date, and the girl had to follow through the whole process by observing her dad’s “performance” from far away~) Pretty hilarious, but they both acted extremely well. I like how Hiroshi Tachi acts all girlish! and how he types message super quickly on the cellphone! (since he’s actually having the soul of his daughter)
Anyway, after seven days, though it’s kind of expected, their identities go back to normal after a second “crash” (they both fell off a cliff), and since then the father and daughter treat each other nicely as they have gone through each other’s tough moments and realized how much they love each other. There are only seven episodes in total, a relatively short drama but still highly recommended! It’s really great laughs and will brighten up your day for sure
