Synopsis :
Kimura Takuya returns to Monday nights at Fuji TV as an ordinary salary man, Kindaichi Fumio, who is loved by colleagues and trusted for his ability to protect subordinates. One day, however, things take a 180 degree turn and his life becomes completely flipped upside down. His superiors fix their eyes on him and concoct a plot to bring him down. He is held responsible for a crime he has no recollection of, and is forced to leave his position. More unfortunate events follow as Kindaichi loses literally everything from his cellphone to his home, ending up without a penny in his pocket. Shocked by his losses, he one day meets two children in the park by chance who teach him how to get by without any dependency on money. The greatest thing about Kindaichi's character is that his character never fails him. He always has a carefree attitude and is driven by those people he meets, who love and support him, not by inflicted pain or grudge against others.

Despite being the man who has lost all his possessions, Kindaichi continues to move forward, inspiring his former boss, Moai Kengo, and conservative office co-worker, Nikaido Aya, resulting in a big turning point for each of them. What is it that money can't buy? What is the most precious thing in life? A man tells the story of finding that "priceless" something in life, through unpredictable turns and twists with a light comedy touch. --Fuji TV

v1olet's comment :
Cerita : Bagaimana mungkin saya tidak nonton dorama ini, wong awards-nya aja berderet gitu ... he he he ...  Wajib nonton hukumnya.  Takuya Kimura saja sudah jadi alasan kuat untuk menontonnya segera setelah subtitle bhs Inggris rampung.  Ringkasan cerita sudah dipajang di atas. 

Kesimpulan saya, ceritanya bagus dan very recommended sebab berisi pelajaran hidup.  Waktu kita punya pekerjaan dan gaji yg bagus, segalanya mudah didapat.  Tapi jika dalam waktu satu malam keadaan berubah hingga kita jatuh miskin, tanpa rumah, tanpa pekerjaan, tanpa tabungan, dan uang tunai terbatas, tanpa sanak keluarga dan tanpa teman yg bisa dimintai tolong ... nah gak kebayang apa jadinya.  Bir yg tadinya bisa dibeli kapan saja dan dimana saja, jadi mahallllll luar biasa dan hanya tinggal impian untuk mendapatkannya.  Iya, di Jepang orang biasa minum bir ... kalau di Jakarta mungkin teh botol atau kopi kali yaaaa ...  Nah kalau kondisi sudah seperti itu, segala sesuatu menjadi PRICELESS ...  Harus belajar hidup susah, homeless, tidur di taman, jadi pemulung, numpang sana-sini dan yg bikin bete, kondisi ini memang sengaja dibikin oleh saudara tiri sendiri yg iri dan dengki.  Tapi yg bisa dipelajari dari tokoh Kindaichi Fumio adalah kegigihannya dan semangat untuk bangkit, juga sense of business-nya.  Dari jualan hot dog di halaman kantor sampai bikin termos yg tahan panas berhari-hari, semuanya dilakukan dengan penuh dedikasi dan pikiran positif.  Bagus nih ceritanya.  Unsur komedi juga sangat menghibur.   Kindaichi belajar hidup dari 2 anak kecil yg homeless.

Casting :
Takuya Kimura memang aktor serba bisa, top banget lah ... pokoke.  Ada 2 aktor cilik yg lucu dan bagus aktingnya, jadi Kanta dan Ryota.  Ada Karina dan Nakai Kiichi yg jadi mantan rekan kerja Kindaichi dan belakangan jadi room-mate (tidur sekamar bertiga seperti sungai supaya irit bayar sewa kamar).  Fujiki Naohito jadi saudara tiri Kindaichi, penyebab segala kekacauan dan penderitaan Kindaichi.

Ending : happy
Spoiler ....
Kindaichi berhasil memproduksi dan memasarkan thermos yg isinya tetap panas berhari-hari dan bahkan berhasil dengan risetnya.  

Rating : 10/10
