I just watched it despite I have seen the trailer a long time ago and I regretted not watching this earlier. This drama is both fun and meaningful at the same time. Most of the victims might be your cliche gross antagonist or changed due to "something in the past", but you can't 100% guess the outcome and ended up tricked by the small twists - which is good since this drama is a case-by-case type.
Loved the acting of the con-men trio, they made the story alive. Some might consider that Nagasawa and Higashide took the biggest credits, but Kohinata's acting should be appreciated too. For me, they don't just cast him as a "gentleman" role because of his age/appearance, he really did the job very well. Listening to him speaking gave a true gentleman vibe (even more biased if you know the Burari Tochu Gesha no tabi program). This trio managed to convey the message for viewers "to be cautious, trust but never became super overly trusting - even if you're super close."
Music is nice, they didn't overuse them... I couldn't really comment on anything else. The main theme made me hooked with Higedan, and I am glad for that. Definitely would rewatch again for laugh, I won't get bored with this. After this I gonna watch the movies too!
