The mother is Second Chance is also played by Tanaka Misako, and similarly to Brother Beat, she plays a single widowed mother of three boys who works in a grocery store. Akai Hidekazu, who played the boys' father in Brother Beat, is also the main male lead in Second Chance! Both series have comic scenes, as well as heartfelt moments, although Second Chance is more about the mother than it is about the boys.
