Why should this Japanese drama be watched? If you are looking for an addictive, powerful story with profound lessons, look no further. You learn through the characters journey that greed, and revenge never ends, and only continues the suffering. The story and actor/actress did a good job.

Its a good drama if the genre intrigues you. Give it a chance.

Thank you for reading.

The execution of the story was well done and I was hooked from the very beginning; however, comparing to the other "... no Sensou", this one did not meet with my expectations.

I did like Kusanagi (a lot), he is truly the best when he has a dark role.. it is like he has so many strong emotions inside of him, it makes him cry even while laughing. It is not the first time he does this: there are times where he looks so satisfied that he is taking revenge but with tears running down his cheeks. It makes you wonder of his real motives. I think I cannot see Kusanagi in a "nice" role; I prefer him as the opposite of how he is in real life. He was such a fine actor.. I miss his dramas. I think he was the best actor in SMAP, and one of the best in Johnny's.

I think this Shiraishi was not a real anti-hero as Ichinose was (his role in "Uso no Sensou"). This Shirashi is much softer and kinder and certainly more forgiving. That's why I was let down, but only if I compare to the other drama, which is one of my favorite dramas. I would have preferred if he was more ruthless.. but no, even with the 2 ladies he was soft :(
