If my wife becomes a primary school student
A weird title for a very good family TV series.

It is tough to find good Japanese TV series on Netflix. Too often they tend to preach to, or try to educate the audience as if they are a drama blended in with a documentary.

This TV series shows that not all Japanese dramas are stinkers and that some Japanese TV series can rival the best of the Korean dramas.

Description
Keisuke’s wife Takae died 10 years ago. He has still has not gotten over her death. After her death, Keisuke just spends his days aimlessly. He has a daughter Mai. Keisuke wishes Mai to be happy, but he doesn't do anything for her except provide basic support. He is unattached to her emotionally and hardly talks with her.

One day, a strange elemental school girl appears in front of Keisuke and Mai. The girl introduces herself as the reincarnation of his wife who died a decade before.

My opinion
“If My Wife Becomes a Primary School Student” is a tale of a father and grown daughter that are drowning in misery. This 10-year-old girl teaches them how to snap out of it and enjoy life again.
