The subititles for the final episode of Hanayome to Papa were released Saturday, and I watched the show that night. Aiko finally read the letter that was written to her by her late mother, and that scene was a real tear-jerker. Miura’s father finally comes around and accepts the marriage, Seiji doesn’t have to take care of the family shop, and everything is wonderful. And then of course there was the happy ending where Aiko and Miura get married, with another emotional scene where the papa breaks down and then he sings a song. They really laid it on thick at the end, that’s for sure!

If I had any complaints about this dorama it would be that the plot relied way too much on people overhearing other people’s conversations. For instance, when one character is confessing how he really feels about someone, and another character just happens to be listening from around the corner. It all makes it very convenient to keep the plot going, but it seems like a lazy way to do it. Couldn’t they be a little more imaginative? Well, this is a dorama after all, so I can’t really complain.

Anyways Hanayome to Papa was a good series, and I would recommend watching it, as it does have some really good parts to it. I’d rate it a 7.5 out of 10.
