Finished watching The Family Game (Kazoku Gemu) recently. A show which revolves about a family that looked good on the outside but not realizing the ugly truth within it.
I thought this film plot was nicely portrayed, keeping me in suspense. The main character will be the private tutor who uses different teaching methods to influence the family son to grow stronger and smarter in tackling different issues face in school. The story goes on from there where the family slowly discovered many ugly truth and try to amend it.
There was also a secret truth about the private tutor on the reasons why he was doing this stuff all the while. It will be revealed towards to end of the show.
Was impressed by Sho Sakurai acting capability here with his expressive expression! And yup, Shiori Kutsuna do look cute too!
