Well, I'm going to be the total opposite of the previous reviews! I totally enjoyed this! As I watched one story to another to another, it just kept getting better and better. The oldest brother played by Sato Ryuta was quick and probably the least developed but by the time we got to the middle child, played by Koike Teppei, his story was so cute. The youngest, played by Nakamura Aoi was probably the funniest. And last but not least, I have to give the best story to the friend and only child, played by Ito Atsushi. His Kazuo was a stone trip and to see him fall for someone who was his polar opposite was hysterical because you definitely got to see a miraculous change in him. All in all, they were decent stories told really quickly but the little over 4 hours of time invested was well worth it. Sure, whenever you watch these short special dramas, you always wish for more but I really didn't feel as if anything was left out. But the highlight had to be the parents of the Yamada brothers! To listen to how they talked about their poor sons in front of them was very, very funny! Talk about parents having no hope for their boys marrying! Definitely worth watching.
