This drama is a remake of the popular suspense drama The Devil that was aired in Korea last year. Ohno Satoshi will be playing the role of a two-faced lawyer, one of which is a kind hearted soul and the other who is plotting revenge, using his brilliant mind, on the person who killed his relative. On the other hand, Ikuta Toma will play the double lead role of the man, who has become a detective due to his dark past, who is pursuing the mysterious series of murders and fighting against the devil (Maou).

My opinion:

Yay!!!! This is the new drama on TBS in Japan and last week (September 3, 2008) was the 9th episode and what a series this has been so far!!! This drama is apparently a remake of the Korean drama "The Devil" that aired on KBS in 2007. Ridda-san (Ohno Satoshi) plays a two-sided lawyer (Angel/Demon) who is using his keen mind to avenge the death of his brother at the hand of a classmate (the brother's). Ikuta Toma is playing the second lead role of the detective Serizawa Naoto, who became a detective because of what happened in the past...can anyone guess…but anyway; he, well quite literally, runs around trying to solve various murders that happen to people close to him and tries to uncover the “true” criminal behind the various events. The story line is excellent; there is not really anything that I can say against it. The music and background sounds fit the moods of certain key moments nicely. The most interesting part, so far, has been how suspenseful and how the story is being played out in these 9 episodes so far.

I can’t believe how well the roles suited Toma-san and Satoshi-san. The only other role that I really liked Toma playing was Nakatsu in Hana Kimi (Japan), and the only other “Drama” roles that I have seen Ohno-san star in were Pika*nchi Life is Hard Dakedo/Dekara Happy and Kiiroi Namida. I have yet to watch the Korean version, but the way this series has caught my interest, I just may end up gluing my eyes to the screen to watch it!!! The first episode was aired on July 4, 2008 at 10:00pm (22:00). There are approximately 11 episodes, but you know how they like to do SPs, so who knows!?!?!?!? I recommend this series 100% to anyone who likes: Suspense, drama, some blood, Ohno, Nino, and Ikuta Toma.
