These two are superb in their subtle nuances. Kentaro, one of the very few decent Japanese actors, is a master in expressions. That little glance when he helped her at the station spoke a million of volume. And Lee Se-young, one of the most vibrant / beautiful young actress not to mention talented. I will always remember her as the scene stealer in drama where she was the corpse brought back to life. I like the way this drama unfolds, slow but not boring.

This is an amazing drama. I have always been a fan of Haruka Ayase, one of Japan's best actress, no matter what genre she acts in. I discovered Issei Takahashi recently, watched two of his dramas and found myself drawn to his acting. Put these two together, et voila! If you find yourself a bit stuck after a few episodes, bite on. It is so worth it! How it developed from a suspect at the beginning, then they have to cover for each other reluctantly and then, a race against time to save each other. When the Chief said that this is all for one woman, Hidako said yes. Saving her means saving me .... literally. Episode 10 when they finally face each other was so intense and amazing acting. I hope for Season 2 to pick up the last sentence on the bridge! I had high hopes for both of them! Haruka Ayase and Issei Takahashi deserved an award for this drama!

Hmmm ... the beginning looks promising but from mid point of Episode 1, I got a bit disappointed. Does it make sense to you all that there he is, someone who supposedly grew up with an unero uno Mafia family and yet, he got stupidly mugged by two con- artists? The one thing a Mafia would never ever have done is drink from an unfamiliar source! This is how they poisoned their rivals! And then, he couldn't even defend himself??? No martial art training with all money and enemies his family had? He did so well in anticipating his brother's move but how did he get brought down by two local muggers? Suddenly, Vincenzo doesn't seem so cool anymore. To me these just doesn't add up. How is he going to face his adopted brother later on? The writers need to do better than this. Look at Mr Queen, the writing is flawless. With so much hope surrounding the actor, as usual, I hope this is not going to be a flop like that Arc .... movie he did not long ago.

1st episode and I am hooked. I think the two leads balance each other very well. It is similar with many KDramas in the sense that you always find a past connection. But, the 1st episode set the scene well for what to come. Son Ye Ji - watch out for her. She is going to be bigger like the other Son. Kim Soo-Hyun, welcome back! Great choice for a comeback drama. And, his acting is still on point. I hope he takes on the spin off from Hotel de Luna. The other actor who has just returned from military, Ji Chang Wook, was not so lucky with his comeback drama. But then, I never really like his acting. Very one dimensional. Always took on the role of ackward type of adult or almost impossibily too nice kind of character which is annoying. Look forward to more episodes!
