Synopsis
Toru is a young part-timer who has no interest in social issues. He gets called in as a juror in the trial of a woman labeled as a "witch", charged with a murder over an enormous inheritance. Though it appears that she is definitely guilty, one by one the jurors begin casting their votes for "not guilty." From the shadows, there is a mysterious organization buying control of the jury. At the same time, strange events start happening around Toru. When another juror is threatened, Toru is determined to save her. However, Toru's girlfriend, a newspaper reporter, seems suspicious of their relationship. And so, Toru begins his lonely fight for the truth.

I'm not sure what to think. I feel like it's pretty clear where the overall plot is going, but I guess the producers/script writers do a fairly good job of maintaining an aura of suspense around each event that happens. I think the filming technique and the acting is a little cliche, though. Might turn out to be an okay drama, but I'm just not in the mood right now for such an involved story.

kyaaaa!!!! Toma kun no atarashii dorama.
I like the twisting story and the shock ending, finally the whole "saiban" can end up like the witch want. I think the final episode is not really the end, season2 maybe??

After 3 episodes, I can already say I'm not going to enjoy this. Something lacking in the making of it.. the plot is not that interesting either... I call quits on this one.

honestly I was torn between giving this a 7 or an 8, lately I seems to be reaching the level of jdramas density which somehow do not allow me to give high rate to drama. maybe if it was watched at the beginning of my drama craze it might be getting more appraisal. the more u watch, the more the subsequent dramas need to deliver to impress. majo saiban generally is a nice suspense drama with twists. i've always love twist, and though i'm fooled myself by the story development which means the success of the twist to me - overall the story is decent enough. for those who love suspense and havent watched too many suspenseful drama, to be very impressed.

really bad ending

Dark, hopeless, and full of twists. I don't usually like court-type shows, but this one did not bore me at all. I'd say it's worth watching.

So far so good :) Toma is a wonderful actor!
13. Comments by aik0 [Rating: 5/10]
Given the theme, could have been a thrilling success. This one shows potential at first, but by midway it is going downhill. And of course, each 35-min episode can be condensed to 10 min of information..., but still it's not like it's draggy or anything. It's has it's up and down.

Good at the begining but as the plot advances it becomes annoying, the end is quite surprising though, a little bit twisty dorama
15. Comments by Cerebus [Rating: 6/10]
A typical cliche ridden mystery/thriller based around a murder trail. The protagonist runs everywhere, the main bad guy just grins and laughs manically, nothing makes very much sense and for some reason the police are never anywhere to be seen. The direction got rather tiresome with certain actions, mainly reaction shots, repeated about 10 times from different camera angles every 5 minutes or so. The ending however is fantastic, if a little rushed, and makes up for some of the preceding short comings.

I'm still shocked about the Ending...it's killing me..nice story though
17. Comments by Mimori [Rating: 9/10]
Even though there were some things that were left unexplained and I didn't like the ending that much, overall it was a good drama. To me, it was obvious who the real culprit was even if they threw several twists and turns. But even so, I did enjoy watching it. I give it a 9 because I loved Kurokawa-san. xD

Overall, it was good, but sometimes it was so slow-paced.

good intro to japan trial system but way too convoluted without sensible plot.

Toma was quite nice but I wasn't really thrilled by the drama...
25. Comments by oonqy [Rating: 8/10]
the story though was slow-paced, but multiple twist, like a roller coaster, too much twist that i give up speculating n just laid back n watched it. the ending is not bad except my intelligence is unable to tell who is kurokawa.... so my dumbness is causing my anxiety. but is a gd suspense drama!! luckily is not too long
