It can come up in the following spring season since BORDER was aired in the spring season. Also, an actor can do several dramas in one season because Japan doesn't use the live shooting system.
Another angsty drama with Hawick Lau to look forward to and he's producing it himself as well. The downside is: English subtitles for C-dramas are almost extinct.
Another hateful drama with Hawick Lau as the main lead. You have got to love these types of dramas especially when Hawick is there to make them even more appealing!
Although this had your usual formula of Japanese detective dramas; it was interesting to follow mainly for the Ghost-seeing element and some things here and there. I know this could've been better than this because there are other Japanese detective dramas that outclass this one mainly because of their well-written characters.
I have to blame the screenwriter Kaneshiro for this, he said he wrote this drama with Oguri in his mind but I didn't see anything that makes Oguri shine in this drama except for the last three episodes. I am sure any other actor could've been okay in that type of undistinguished character. Other characters were simply a "Meh", such a waste of space.
I think the last three episode significally raised my rating for this one, and the ending gave it an important boost as well. It was smart to end that way, maybe a second season shall be planned but overall, I liked this drama; although it wasn't perfect or classy but it was a bit different and enjoyable. And yeah, because I like Japanese detective dramas.
I am a bit disappointed by this film. I knew it wouldn't be as awesome as the drama but I didn't thought it would be this slow. It's nice to know that they didn't make the drama version as dramatic as this film.
I just hope that this year's film wil be as amazing as the drama if not better.
I am a sucker of the revenge so I couldn't possibly miss this drama despite the existance of the Medical genre which is one of my most hated genres in Dramaland.
Like everyone agrees, Alice no Toge should've been done way better than this; it had so much potential to give a memorable piece but it simply failed to do so. My only blame is the execution of the revenge process; it wasn't interesting at all! Despite the episodic pattern at the beginning, I hoped some things would be fixed afterwards but they didn't.
It's watchable and I liked it somehow but it's forgettable and not-creative. I have to say that I loved Ueno and Odagiri (as usual) in here.
I thought this would be an interesting romantic thriller. Well, to some extent it was. But it was nothing excellent or well-done. The plot was flawed and I couldn't connect to the characters at some point.
It was a good watch anyway or I wouldn't give it a 6.
Kang Dong Woo just never fail me with his performances at all. The film was not thriller as I thought it would be, suspense was totally killed off which bothered me a little. But overall, it kept me following what's happening even with some predictable events, this film was a good ride. I liked it.
I saw 5 of these and they were all great.
