Fantastic drama with a close-to-brilliant script and overall good acting. Lots of different levels and emotions, and deep philosophical questions are raised and treated. Great in so many ways. |

Great, amazing, and perfect show so far. Matsujun and Yui and toss in Oguri Shun? There's no reason to ask for more, this show is just great from start to finish, this might become my top 1 if not 2. |

it can be slow at times, but my most important concern is that the drama stroke a chord. I like the issue being tackled; of prejudice and discrimination. some might say that prejudice and discrimination overly portrayed. if it's so it won't be a problem to me, as I can definitely learn something from it. however as a counter for that, through reading others' experiences in Japan, I can say that it shed some light too to the reality; the arbitrary check of ID, the certain remarks on foreigners from certain country, the prohibition of non-japanese to some shop, restaurants and onsen, and many others. discrimination happens through out the world, but I don't think just because it's prevalent, we can just turn a blind eye. at least this drama portray some bitter reality out there. people should learn something from it. not to put your guard down though, but to strike a balance between being careful and being considerate. acting wise, Nakai Kiichi did great, Matsumoto Jun did good at times exerting the innocence aura but he did back at crying and emotional scenes. Yui stood there being pretty though acting ability is questionable. I like her, but that won't make me say she's a good actress because she's still far from it. Overall I've been enjoying the drama and touched by the message carried. |

I won't say it's good but I won't say it's bad.
MatsuJun potrayed his character well. I didn't really like Aragaki Yui's character though. |

Basically this is a good drama. Though a bit slow and sometimes a little boring, it is essential for the plot to move in that pace. Yet I thought the leading actor Matsumoto Jun could be better in his acting, he sorta lacked something while portraying those emotional parts where he needed to cry, and sometimes his facial expressions show too much that it's obvious he's acting, instead of really feeling what the character feels. But undeniably, he has a great smile. That, I can really feel his sincerity. :-) |

Drama driven~bit of suspense, courtroom. Oguri Shun adds a bit of spark.
It's slow. Forgettable. Some bad over-the-top scenes. Matsumoto Jun needs to work on his acting. Aragaki Yui adds nothing to the drama. |

Sorry ... kinda fell asleep in this one. Don't understand the rave reviews. Matsujun ... overacted |
| 27. | Comments by delaciel [Rating: 8/10]
I like this kind of dorama. A little dragging in the middle but the beautiful message that this drama want to deliver make me love this drama. I'm not a fan of Matsujun, but for me he's one of great actor in JE...
And plus Oguri Shun.... Good job... He looks creepy and psychotic enough LOL... |

good - I would have loved it if they went through with last episode's cliffhanger (thus actually making a point regarding xenophobia) |

Definitely the best JDrama of Spring 2009. |

wow. this was better than i thought, even with all the hammy moments. i truly appreciate how it tackled discrimination and the flawed justice system as it exists in japan, without ending with a blatant call to hope and change. it was trying to do a lot... but somehow, it worked. loved the ending. beautiful <3 |

A good drama. I was really engrossed with the story. I really loved Nakai Kiichi. His performance was great. His relationship with Jun was meaningful and moving. Oguri Shun was awesome to watch as the bad guy. I also thought the theme song was great. One of my favorite Jdramas for sure. |

The Gaijin discrimination and japanese trial part was very intersting. About the "smile' things and the acting, I tought it was a bit too much. |
| 37. | Comments by aiscess [Rating: 6/10]
This series reflects Japan's prejudice, discrimination and unfair judgment upon foreigners, but despite all that the lead character tries his hardest in life to reach his dream of having his own multiracial restaurant. Oh well... Jun's acting was so disappointing it ruined the drama for me, he's really not good in crying scenes, he just can't cry when he's supposed to, I mean he can't cry at all. While on the other hand, I was impressed with Nakai Kiichi's performance, he was an effective lawyer. |

god, this drama was so ridiculous. though you can't expect anything better from a drama about racism/discrimination/prejudice written by someone who had no problem using negative stereotypes of Black Americans in HYD2. |
| 39. | Comments by tachan [Rating: 8/10]
Very good. I think I'd give it a 9, except I don't think I'd watch it again. The story is too frustrating/depressing. |

The story about the love and justice of a man who live his life heroically. One of my favorite drama. The story is so humane and the message is good. Matsumoto Jun and Nakai Kiichi are great. I love the ending. |
