Synopsis

A high school student's mother passes away, leaving her alone with her grief. The girl, Marimo (performed by Aya Ueto), discovers the name of a father she never knew. Marimo sets off to meet him, but is completely shocked when she finds someone very different from the father she envisioned. Her father, Shinpei (performed by Kazuki Kitamura), a 38 year old would be private detective, is shocked too, and doesn't believe her until he sees the paperwork.

With Marimo muttering "The worst father in the world" and Shinpei lamenting the loss of his freedom, these two are about to learn how difficult and rewarding a father/daughter relationship can be. After 17 years, unaware of each other's existence, a father/daughter relationship starts from scratch. What does it mean to be parent and child? What is the meaning of human life?

Playing the role of the high school heroine, making her star debut in television dramas, is Aya Ueto. Previously cast in other dramas "Kinpachi Sensei", "High School Teacher", and in the movie "Azumi", we now get to see her presence being expressed in this new role of heroine.

Playing the role of her father is Kazuki Kitamura, who is being noticed as an essential figure within the Japanese movie scene. He has played many roles in Japanese classical dramas (Taiga Dorama).
