Completion screening event of summer 2013 drama "Oh, My Dad!!"

The completion screening event of FujiTV summer 2013 drama "Oh, My Dad!!" was held on 3 July which was attended by the cast members Oda Yuji, Hasegawa Kyoko, Suzuki Anju, Yashima Norito and child actor Tanaka Kanau. The first episode of the drama will be shown on 11 July at 10pm. Oda plays a father who's too obsessed with his scientific research and has no time for his family thus leading his wife (Suzuki) to dump him and his son. To make things worse, he ends up losing his job and apartment thus has to cope with the challenges of raising his son and making ends meet. Oda said that he had been playing roles of capable men for quite some time so it is refreshing to play this character who seems to be good at nothing. In the drama, there are many scenes where Suzuki has to scold Oda for his inadequacies but Oda said that he got so used to the scolding after some time and even felt that it sounded nice to his ears.
