| 3. | Comments by Lifo [Rating: 10/10] Splendid! A MUST watch & very addicting that it keeps you wanting the next episode right away. Superb OST, excellent acting. Recommended. |
| 4. | Comments by tofuuuuu [Rating: 9/10] It is melodramatic and very intense. The pace will leave the audience breathless. |
| 5. | Comments by PaperCaged [Rating: 10/10] I adored Maou so much that it was hard waiting for it to be subbed every week. The storyline was pretty dark and interesting. Ikuta did well, like always, and I loved Ohno痴 subtle acting and the genius character he played. I liked all the minor characters too, like Soda and Kasai. Many parts of the drama were really intense and the ending was amazing. |
| 6. | Comments by Sooji [Rating: 8/10] They finally have it up! I'd recommend it... not only to Ohno and Arashi fans. |
| 7. | Comments by chibichan [Rating: 9/10] still watching ep 5 so far, but i know this gonna be the best dorama, it thrilled me, in every episode i wonder whats gonna happen to Naoto in the next episode.

| 9. | Comments by marspeach [Rating: 8/10] I had already seen the Korean version, which was really good, so there were no surprises. Still, it was a good remake. |
| 10. | Comments by nienna [Rating: 9/10] BEST SUMMER DRAMA OF THE YEAR!!!
It leaves you craving for more. The strong potrayal of each character is just too incredible for me to deal with. And the plot is just flawless. |
| 11. | Comments by brokenparadise [Rating: 10/10] The best Japanese drama for Summer 2008!
Ohno deserves an award for his excellent acting! |
| 12. | Comments by EstherM [Rating: 7/10] A modern Count of Montecristo story, this one tries to explore darker territories, unusual for a JE-populated drama. I enjoyed these kind of mystery (?) dramas a lot, but this one had its weaknesses. For instance there were a few obvious plot holes and it relied too much on deus ex-machina (the magic elements for example). I am convinced if all the protagonists would have used public transports, cars or taxis, it would have had a very happy ending. The actors were good (a bit too young perhaps for the positions they held) although Ikuta Toma overacted but at least he wasn’t wooden and can show a certain range of emotions, and I really felt for his character in the last episodes. Also, the drama intended to conflict the viewer, trying to have them decide who was good/right (the police officer or the lawyer) and having them choose a side. Ethically speaking I wasn’t torn at all, for that the police officer did no real wrong but caused a tragic chain of events. |
| 13. | Comments by crvn107 [Rating: 9/10] I love this drama.It has got everything I like-Scheming genius,suspense,mystery.But I won't give it a full mark because I still don't quite like the ending. |
| 14. | Comments by sadacori [Rating: ?/10] (in the process of watching) |
| 15. | Comments by chokakoi [Rating: 7/10] Not bad. Quite interesting. I didn't watch the korean version before. So can't compare... |
| 16. | Comments by katsup [Rating: 9/10] Started out really slow.... I really didn't start liking it until around episode 4 or 5 but then I got hooked into it. Ohno is such a good actor. I don't like Toma, so that's probably why it took me a while to get into it. But I defenitely think it was a really fun drama. |
| 17. | Comments by Nermal [Rating: 10/10] Fantastic remake! I am always very skeptical about remakes but this one surely proved well done. It had my friend and I glomping each other on our couch every week as it finished airing just because we knew we had to wait for the next Friday at 10. This was very addicting and my favorite drama of the year so far. |

i mus say ohno-riida's eyes gifs me creeps ~ |
| 25. | Comments by animefreak101 [Rating: 8/10] Its like a suspense drama and suspense dramas arent really my thing but i REALLY like it...the ending was so beautifull!!!! I cried my heart out |
| 26. | Comments by aoi_dolphine [Rating: 10/10] I seriously can't erase Ohno's expression from his hosting shows to this drama here. However I got to admit Ohno is good in his role as a bad guy. I feel that he can do an evil and sinister role for future dramas to come. Of cos not to forget Toma is already a good actor in his own way and he proved it in this drama. |
| 27. | Comments by RedSamurai [Rating: ?/10] Next in line... I hope it's as good as it seems to be! |
| 28. | Comments by hisashi [Rating: 7/10] Interesting but i don't like the ending. |
| 29. | Comments by nishishi [Rating: 10/10] Well... Maou is amazing!!! OMG... Ohno is quite a good actor... he did one of the best acting i've seen from an Arashi member (well... Nino still my fav. one...) Didnt imagine that he could do the role of the "bad guy" so perfectly.... and yet he proved me wrong (i mean.. c'mon.. his face makes him the Arashi's nice guy).
nways... bout the dorama... AMAZING CAST!!! SUPERB PLOT!!! Everything goes right in this dorama....
If i have to point out a negative point in this dorama that would be the last 5 seconds.... i mean.... Do the dorama REALLY need something THAT cliche? (thnx God it doesnt affect the story.... Let's hope they dont have a sequel... lolz..) |
| 30. | Comments by ginger ale [Rating: 10/10] The best drama of the summer season. Storyline fantastic, Satoshi Ohno's acting was superb, Ikuta Toma as the detective was amazing. Oh-chan's glare of death and restraint emotion less portrayal of the angel lawyer cum maou -devil was the hardest thing to do in the movie and he gave a brilliant performance. I wanted to hug him everytime I go a chance to give him the love he craved but couldn't have. I like the fast pacing of the series, never a dull moment indeed. But when one's life is dedicated to seeking revenge, there can never be a happy ending. |
| 31. | Comments by natni [Rating: 7/10] i dont know it a good remake or not...i just watched it bcos of toma.. i think the original one is much better..more suspense...the song really great... |
| 32. | Comments by mmyy [Rating: 6/10] Good acting, good plot but clearly not enough suspense. |
| 33. | Comments by w-kassy [Rating: 9/10] Really interesting story. I love Toma!! Ohno also made a great job. I love this! |
| 34. | Comments by yurifly [Rating: 8/10] Considering this is the first time I watched Ohno's acting, I was pleasantly surprised that he did quite a good job. I am used to seeing his silly expressions and so his serious face in here totally adds to the suspense and theme of angel in disguise. I found it quite overwhelming the way his character manipulates others to do his dirty job and also his own struggle to pursue his vengeance. The scene with his "sister" was absolutely heartbreaking. I wasn't impressed by Toma here although I think it was bc the way his character was written than his own acting. I felt like he spent most of his time running around and being emotional. The ending was not completely shocking to me, but I think a nice way to wrap things up. |
| 35. | Comments by simpletoad [Rating: 9/10] riveting.. not bad at all! |
| 36. | Comments by athida [Rating: 10/10] AWESOME!!! |
| 37. | Comments by moonchyld [Rating: 8/10] i thought this drama had a great mix of suspense, moving scenes and character development. the cast were superb! music was pretty cool too. |
| 38. | Comments by Kuro570 [Rating: 10/10] Dark and epic, it kinda reminds you of death note in a sort of way. |
| 39. | Comments by room304 [Rating: 6/10] why oh why did they choose Toma as the detective? loved the korean version and was despite ohnos brilliant acting quite disappointed with this japanese remake |
| 40. | Comments by eftermiddag [Rating: 7/10] Currently watching this. Good so far. |
| 41. | Comments by satura [Rating: 4/10] Unbearable boring. |
| 42. | Comments by shinjitsu [Rating: 8/10] Honestly, when I saw the cast ... I thought, "what are they doing???" Turned out to be very enjoyable ... to the ending. |
