Bitter is the appropriate adjective for all the characters in Nyokei Kazoku. The story is lead by 35-year Yajima Fujiyo, the eldest daughter of a wealthy matrilineal family. Due to a short-term illness, Yoshizo passed away, leaving behind three daughters who all dislike each other, and a multi-billion yen estate. During the review of the will, a mistress named Fumino is revealed, who the family didn't know about. Fumino has an ally within the Yajima corporation - business associate Ono Uichi. Uichi is handling the estate but definitely does not deserve such trust, being involved in all sorts of backroom financial shenanigans. Hovering in the background is Yoshizaburo Umemura, the head of a Japanese traditional dance school. Umemura is covering his financial bets by going after both Fujiyo and Fumino.

A wonderful premise gone awry for some odd reason. The hatefulness and pure evilness of the sisters makes you not want to watch--and the mysterious man in care of the will and its affairs...it was hard to figure out, very frustrating.

A daytime soap, sort of. The pace is slow as the dialogues are long (4 nobleness) and repetitive (e.g. by the sisters who have the same goal). All of the characters could have been sharper and more distinctive. However, it is the plot that keep you watching. 米倉涼子 has been cold & dry till the end. 5+1

This drama took my breathe away. Though many may think the whole drama's just dwelling upon one theme - the will left behind by the late father, I think it brought out all that bitterness, selfishness & evil that live in everyone. Like Yonekura Ryoko's strong character in the show. She really shone. Money is not the root of all evil, human beings are.

Nothing is more boring than a family fighting over money.

A very serious drama. Kind of slow, but it has it's merits.

An amazing drama! Has the most evil characters I have ever seen in ONE show. Nicely done.

Reiko Takashima was positively evil!!!
12.  Comments by sadacori [Rating: 9/10]
This is one bitchfest of a drama full of deceitful schemers who fight over the properties bequeathed by their deceased father and associate. Not only are the women evil, but most of the men are evil as well. Fumino (the mistress) seems to be the only sane character in the mix, but she also has a few things up her sleeve as well.

Recommended for those who need to take a break from silly happy dramas and want to see a dark drama with vindictive characters instead.
