The main rivalry depicted in the story is between Manpyo Daisuke (Kitaooji Kinya), a powerful banker, and his eldest son, Manpyo Teppei (Kimura Takuya), the executive managing director of a steel firm.

Review
Karei Naru Ichizoku, The Perfect Family, is different from any other dorama nowadays, in every aspect. Even though it was stated "Romance" in the genre section above, the 2007 TBS drama is very much about father-son love-hate saga. Daisuke and Teppei Manpyo. While Daisuke (Kitaooji) tries to tackle every move his chonan (Kimura) make, Teppei struggle to succeed. In order to catch a glimpse of attention from his stubborn cold hearted oyaji. The 10 episode drama cast many famous names, even as cameo or small part. Whoever they are, they act superb and convincing. Especially the antagonist role. like the opportunist Mima (Nakamura), slick mistress Takasu Aiko (Suzuki), But the biggest applause belongs to mr. Kimura, who excellently play a hopeless Manpyo chonan, unlike his other role in will-be-hot-job-related-drama. Although the plot twist is not something that we haven't seen in any other story, the final episode is magnificent. It answers every question. It brings tears of sadness, of joy, and of hope. No doubt watching this visually detailed drama will bring memories of old US soap opera. But I suppose this quality jidai drama will set new standart in Japan. The Perfect family is the perfect drama that should be given "Drama of the year" award! (by Ultranguik)
