Maou


I just finished watching this drama (despite the guilt that I should've studied more..huhu)

Synopsis from DramaWiki - Maou
This drama is a remake of the popular suspense drama The Devil that was aired in Korea last year. Ohno Satoshi will be playing the role of a two-faced lawyer, one of which is a kind hearted soul and the other who is plotting revenge, using his brilliant mind, on the person who killed his relative. On the other hand, Ikuta Toma will play the double lead role of the man, who has become a detective due to his dark past, who is pursuing the mysterious series of murders and fighting against the devil (maou).

hum... overall, the story's quite good, nice performance from Ohno Satoshi and Ikuta Toma~ the story's quite serious and some very tear-jerking. though I cant help but get annoyed with some things:

1. the detectives were getting help from a psychic girl who could see "afterimage" of objects - this i think is like an unnecessary addition. I dunno, its just me, i just dont like seeing something not scientific in investigations i guess.
2. when someone's being stabbed/shot/bleeding/dying, wont anyone has the reflex to try as hard as they can to save that someone?? its just not this drama, most drama is like that, like when they see someone being stabbed/shot/bleeding/dying, they just scream or cry beside those wounded people. like, even if i dunno "ABC", i'd just call ambulance or help or something. and people dont just die immediately from a stab wound at the stomach from a 2x5 cm pocketknife.
3. when someone got mad and they started screaming to get their point across -really annoying-

sorry to the drama fans that im being such a spoilsport XD. but seriously, i cant help but to roll my eyes in those annoying scenes.

this drama mostly ventured into the dark side of human. its true that in every human there is a bit of evil, and its kinda like the job of the devil to make human go to the path of darkness. and its also about the balance of defending justice and revenge.

since kakkoi, evil, smart guy is so irresistable to me, I really love Naruse Ryou/Manaka Tomoo here, love the ending, I think it put a nice closure to this character. besides! I really love their hairstyle, no one can do the Japanese guy hairdo other than Japanese guys! and I really love the well-groomed metrosexual look of Naruse-san~ <3

ah, anyways, yeah, overall, i'd give this drama 7/10!
