looking forward to season two
Here's the thing.I liked the idea a lot, and I feel like it was well executed. But I'm not a fan of Akaso Eiji or Yunagi Shuntari in the main roles. I'm especially not keen on Yunagi as Yobi, honestly. Something about him just didn't work, could have been that he doesn't wear bleached hair well, at all. Some guys do and some guys don't and he definitely does not, imo. If the casting choices for these two characters had been different than I might have been more engaged.
HOWEVER, with that said, I still enjoyed it and it was a very intense ride. And I'm anticipating the second season a lot since it focuses on Kara more (and I am in favor of Sakaguchi Kentaro in that role) and Itagaki MIzuki is supposed to put in an appearance and I'm rapidly becoming his fan. So I feel like for me, the 2nd season will be better and more engaging. Not that the first season was bad, it's just that I feel it focused on the wrong things. I would have loved it if we could have just jumped right into what promises to be an intense 2nd season and skipped the 1st season entirely.
Still, it's well worth a watch. I love that we've got some intense Jdramas coming out this year. Try Kamenashi Kazuya's "Shoutai" if you want another interesting one. Subbed by Mia-maw!
