Bem, Bella and Bello are horrible monsters that are neither human nor animal, but they are peace-loving, righteous heroes who feel compelled to help humans in trouble. Because they are monsters, they are feared and detested by humans and, on top of that, pursued by the police. However, the friendship develops between them and a detective by mere accident.

Great except for the effects. Which you know. ;)

I really really enjoyed this first episode, which is rare. I know the special effects were weird, I actually looked away during the transformations. The jumping looked ridiculous, too. :P

But that's not what it was about for me. I really liked the acting, the relationships between the characters and Bello is so cute! I'll definitely continue this.

Hmm... Interesting...

Okay, well, first of all, I started this drama mainly because of Kamenashi Kazuya (who I must say, looked as fine as always).
When I first read about the drama, I saw that it was getting mixed reviews. The most common criticism was that it was really cheesy and the special effects were bogus.
Throughout the drama I could see what they meant, but I didn't think it was as bad as everyone made it sound... That is, until I got to the fight scene near the end of the episode.
And yes, now I do agree that the special effects were cheesy and I felt awkward watching it.
But it was still fun to watch nevertheless. I actually didn't get bored at all during this episode, which is rare for me (I usually have a hard time sitting through an entire episode without getting distracted).
I think it would be enjoyable to everyone if they had better effects and the monsters didn't look so fake and halloween costume-ish.
I think I'll keep watching it, just to see how it goes.
Bero is cute enough to make up for all the cheesiness anyway ^_^
