| 2. | Comments by mmyy [Rating: 5/10] As a big fan of Yamapi, I was thoroughly disappointed with his first lead drama. Kurosagi is slow-paced, boring and doesn't know what it wants exactly. The main plot doesn't end, meaning there's no real closure, and the added romance bonus is plain childish and ridiculous. The random swindling events aren't particualrly exciting either and most of them just fall out flat or feel too coincidental. Sad to say, Kurosagi fails in every aspect except for a pretty lead male and good acting from Horikita Maki. |
| 3. | Comments by raikuchan [Rating: 9/10] i love this one alot espically with yampi acting soo cool !! (> ^ V^)> |
| 4. | Comments by PURE_SiMPLiCiTY [Rating: 10/10] I LOVE THIS JDRAMA!! I LOVE YAMAPI!!!! HES HELLA FINEEEE!!! |
| 5. | Comments by x_XJules [Rating: 8/10] Very creative. every episode is a joy to watch. what's better than someone swindling a swindler? (i hope there's a sepcial!!!) |
| 6. | Comments by Lady_Susie [Rating: 9/10] Ending wasnt as expected and Yamapi plays a very good role here ^_^ its a kind of dark tale but worth watching! As a yamapi fan, i have to say his black hair looks HAWT xP |
| 7. | Comments by agp_frick [Rating: 8/10] ...too cheesy... maybe. But I think it's interesting enough to see the romance between Yamapi and Maki Horikita, and of course the swindler's act in every episode... Overall: worth watching. |

| 10. | Comments by strawberrynkiwi [Rating: 9/10] this is going to be the best drama of the year~ i can feel it. yamapi <3
FINISHED>>
It was good. Some parts was really boring, but I really liked the ending so that makes up for it. Maki & Yamapi are amazing. I love them both very much. Great job Pi for taking on a diffcult role. HE IS HOT in here. If you are Pi fan, watch! If not, you might not like it. Meh, watch it either way =) |
| 11. | Comments by ueda_neko [Rating: 10/10] yamapi looks hot |
| 12. | Comments by lilbabi1004 [Rating: ?/10] havent' read the manga~ but i'm looking forward to the rest of the series!!! (nya~ can't wait till next friday and the next...and the next) |
| 13. | Comments by ShinYo [Rating: 8/10] The swindling was just awesome, Kurosaki and Tsurara both were interesting couple. |
| 14. | Comments by usagi_on_the_moon [Rating: 2/10] Given the memorable performance of Yama-P in Nobuta, I was expecting much more than he was able to deliver, or so it seems by this drama. Much like a modern day version of Robin Hood, in my book. Yui Ichikawa's character certainly didn't help. There was no real connection to the audience that made the viewer feel for the characters. |
| 15. | Comments by Aki-Michiru [Rating: ?/10] nice cast |
| 16. | Comments by jica [Rating: ?/10] This one I really have high expectations for. Interesting plot. The coolest of Yamapi I've seen so far (he really looks very kakkoii, I like his dark hair and serious look), and I think the chemistry between him and Maki is good here (there wasn't any between them in Nobuta). Can't wait to see the whole drama ^^ |
| 17. | Comments by yamada_taro [Rating: 7/10] What kept me going was the plot development -outside- of Kurosagi swindling people. The tricking quickly got repetitive in every episode and it seemed as if all of Kurosagi's plans were flawless (with the exception of one and at the end). The side stories of the relationships between the people around Kurosagi were very interesting to watch. |
| 18. | Comments by sao [Rating: 2/10] Yamapi is so unnatural ... kawai so ... He acts better in comedy drama ! I was disappointed by this drama, it's not as good as it looks ! |
| 19. | Comments by lil_black_star [Rating: 10/10] Kurosagi is SO koooooool! With YamapIIIIII too~ |
| 20. | Comments by soupychan [Rating: ?/10] Gave up watching it. Too episodic and formulaic, and Maki's character is too irritating. |
| 21. | Comments by Shindou [Rating: 5/10] A disappointment. the concept of a swindler swindling others isn't bad but it wasn't carried through very well. The acting was rather superficial - particularly that of Horikita Maki: in light of Nobuta wo Produce, not to mention the weakness of some of the episode plots. Could've been better... |
| 22. | Comments by Sailorprinzess [Rating: 9/10] Where do I start? Oh yeah, Yampi is in this! <<<33
I am currently watching this, but the first episode was awesome. Hopefully there will be something between Kurosaki and Tsurara. <3 |
| 23. | Comments by Azumanga Daioh Fan [Rating: 7/10] Kurosagi is a good drama but the swindling can get very repetative. But the great performance by Maki especially towards the end makes it worth watching.The performance by Ichikawa Yui is also very good. |
| 24. | Comments by Ralbol [Rating: 7/10] Un drama sympa mais quand meme pas mal de reproches: les intrigues des differents episodes sont bidons et ne sont la que pour que l'histoire n'avance pas trop vite; et la fin est egalement bidon. Enfin ca reste quand meme du drama correct, agreable a regarder.
Apres, j'aime bien les acteurs principaux meme s'ils savent pas forcement tres bien jouer... |
| 25. | Comments by wanderingfish7 [Rating: 8/10] The drama has interesting plots. And I like YamaP, he is so cute. |
| 26. | Comments by lucy_monostone [Rating: 9/10] for the luv of Yamapi hehehe it's still strating to progress it good so far interesting yet there's no subs! |
| 27. | Comments by natni [Rating: 10/10] finished watching. interesting story.yamapi+maki da best. |
| 28. | Comments by Hemilya [Rating: 5/10] Never finished watching. Not the best Yamapi dorama, and certainly not his role... |
| 29. | Comments by Susan [Rating: 9/10] Certainly a cheesy drama, but well worth the watch! I definetly enjoy Yamashita Tomohisa's crazy performances! From drama to drama, he always wears a different face. And in Kurosagi, he wore more than I could count. But what good is a drama without a GREAT ending? I have never laughed out so loudly in my life! Katsuragi, as portrayed by Yamazaki Tsutomu, will always be one of my favorite characters from a drama series! He was disgusting, old, smelly, and downright evil. But hilarious! MA-I-DO-A-RI! |
| 30. | Comments by KokiChan [Rating: 9/10] the story is great. It makes me anxious, sad, laught, etc. Yamashita is very good as Kurosaki. |
| 31. | Comments by hisu [Rating: 3/10] Very intersting, but I don't really understand what hepenned in the dorama, because I didn't watched with subs and I don't speak japanese...
Yamai is soooo hot there!! and I was really happy when I heared that Koyama is in the second episode too.
And Maki Hirokita (or however her name is) looks very cute...like in Nobuta wo Produce |
| 32. | Comments by janjan85 [Rating: 7/10] been pretty good so far not as good as nobuta |
| 33. | Comments by nagaioyasumi [Rating: 6/10] Maybe a 6.5. Wasn't bad. Just wasn't terribly impressive either. Felt like a very amateur drama... the actors were amateur, the storyline was amateur... loved the old man though. |
| 34. | Comments by Paine_kun [Rating: 6/10] Pending. Maybe I'll re-watch it completely later... |
| 35. | Comments by odhie [Rating: 10/10] weeee.. can't wait for the next epi.. i just watched until epi.2.. and as i watched them,, all of them are so cool.. |

| 50. | Comments by romi510 [Rating: 8/10] One of the dramas that I am following this season...another great remake from manga so far...I hope it carry on this way. |
| 51. | Comments by pifernac [Rating: 9/10] I must say that Yamapi surprises me very much with the rol that he makes. It did not have much faith to him, but after seeing the chapters I have realized that he has improved (no se si está bien dicho). I can say "Yamapi acts well" The drama is very good, It like me a lot. Although, sometimes I do not understand much because they speak very of “economic” thematic : the banks, bags and those things… |
| 52. | Comments by MeowMeow [Rating: 9/10] lovin it baby |
| 53. | Comments by maxlovely [Rating: 9/10] cool.. especially Kurosaki-kun.. heh. ganbatte, Pi-chan. |
| 54. | Comments by sw33t_laydee [Rating: 8/10] I thought it was good. I liked Kurosaki's different alias. Though the ending could have been a little better, the drama wasn't that bad |
| 55. | Comments by Yamapi122 [Rating: 10/10] I love this show, if only life had such a simple formula. |
| 56. | Comments by donna8157 [Rating: 7/10] A drama based off of the popular manga, "Kurosagi". It's about a swindler who takes from the rich and gives back to the poor. It has somewhat of a Robin Hood feel to it although it's not as good. Yamashita Tomohisa plays the part of Kurosagi, a young boy and landlord who is the only survivor in his family after his father went crazy and killed everyone after being swindled. Because of this, Kurosagi decides to take revenge by swindling from other swindlers. To find out information about swindlers, he is employed by an old man. He meets a young girl named Tsurara (he helped her father). She is the complete opposite of him. She wants to become a prosecutor and give justice the proper way. Throughout the episodes, Tsurara is his moral side - a side of him that hurts himself to see.
This drama was rather episodic - each show could have stood by itself. Each revolved around a different character and how they were swindled - then Yamashita Tomohisa dresses up in a disguise to swindle that money plus more back. There was very little character development and I thought that the personalities of each character was very one-dimensional. There was hardly much emotional or romantic development between the two leads. Aside from all that, it was still rather enjoyable to watch and it was good to take a break from it every now and then without missing too much. |
| 57. | Comments by yo-chan [Rating: 8/10] YamaPi <33
no real intentions on commenting this thing.. it's relly good and if your a YamaPi fan it's a MUST WATCH and even if not you should defenitly give it a try! |
| 58. | Comments by Miyavi [Rating: 10/10] OMG!!
I [heart] Yamapi!!
He's soooo cute!!!!!
Oh and i just love him in this!!!!
o>_<o |
| 59. | Comments by Houko [Rating: 8/10] Up to the present moment I only look the first episode but I want to see more (^_^) |
| 60. | Comments by Uminotori [Rating: 9/10] GREAT!! |
| 61. | Comments by idetakun [Rating: 3/10] I've watched only 2 episodes of it., and I don't have any intention to ask for more- even I like yamapi, I don't find this DORAMA attractive enough... The story is not enthralling as I assume 'KUROSAGI' should be... |
| 62. | Comments by husseinnimo12 [Rating: 10/10] Kurosagi is soooo cutttee!!! |
| 63. | Comments by kumaxell [Rating: 7/10] From episode 6 onwards, the characters finally bonded. And, their chemistry was absolutely sizzling. The under current between Kurosaki, Tsurara, the old man, the secretary, and the police had me on the edge of my seat. The last scene in episode 7 literally took my breath away. I'm glad that the drama has a good ending. |
| 64. | Comments by MrNiceGuy [Rating: 9/10] Very interesting movie. "People are interesting" Cool! |
| 65. | Comments by onigishi [Rating: 8/10] A drama that you'll get hooked. Every episode leaves the audience hanging! |
| 66. | Comments by fuyuke [Rating: 8/10] This show is ok. But since yamapi is in it, i love it! XD |
| 67. | Comments by syu77 [Rating: 10/10] currentlay watching it till ep.5 still waiting for the rest to be translated...definitely in my wish list |
| 68. | Comments by kira69 [Rating: 7/10] katsuragi freaks me out. yamapi spends more time acting cool than actually acting. |
| 69. | Comments by shirota [Rating: 8/10] Awesome, I love watching Yamapi act. If you're a fan of him, you should definately watch. He's in the show with Maki again like in Nobuta wo Produce, is that some sort of strange coincidence? |
| 70. | Comments by Sevenz [Rating: 9/10] Great series, very interesting! |
| 71. | Comments by cutesawada [Rating: 8/10] Pretty good. Can get slow sometimes. And the story lines don't really make you wanna watch the next episode. But it's really good once you get into it |
| 72. | Comments by xxSweetDreams_bby [Rating: 7/10] It was pretty good, but it wasn't one of my favs.
I still very much recommend it though! |
| 73. | Comments by tAz [Rating: 10/10] i haven't finish watching this drama cos its still airing, but so far, I LOVE IT! its reallly nice. yamap is kakkoi! its a touching drama. its nice nice! must watch. |
| 74. | Comments by apple_grenade [Rating: 2/10] I'm going to be super harsh because this drama caused me THE BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT OF THE YEAR. I watched the first 2 episodes and gave this drama the rating of 8. Since I finished it, I'd wanted to come back and revise it to 1, since there are no negative numbers. That was 2 months ago. Now that I've calmed myself down, I'll just give it a 2.
I loved the manga immensely. The drama totally ruined it for me. By episode 6, I even hated YamaPi. Not that I'm a fan or anything, but he's alright. I enjoyed his ill-treatment of the prosecutor-wannabe Tsurara. I'm so very angry with her. I'll get to that in a bit.
The three things I hate the most about this drama is: the constantly spitting guy, Katsuragi (freaking gross!); the two love interests, prosecutor-wannabe Tsurara and her annoying stalker of a friend Yukari; and Aikawa Shou's interpretation of Kashina.
I love manga's Kashina and I've some love for Aikawa Shou, but his Kashina is ridiculous and the psychopathic-ness is NOT the least bit interesting. His weird laughter makes me want to rip out a cat's gut. I repeat, you'll be grossed out by the constant spitting. I don't care that he's trying to make takuan or whatever. Ugh! He's as sly as a fox, I'll give him that. Just... stop spitting, for feck's sake. His caretaker is sugoi, though, at least. The love interests? Were the bane of my existence throughout the drama. Ichikawa Yui has ruined a total of 3 shows for me, the other being H2 and NANA Movie 2. Unless there's a good reason, I'm avoiding anything with her in it from now on. The prosecutor-wannabe just pissed me off endlessly. You want to prosecute criminals with that kind of characteristics? BS! I grew up watching my dad send people to their deaths and even now I'm in the field. You'll get creamed by the defense if that's how you carry yourself. Please, you're not cutely stubborn. Also, pick a side and make a stand for goodness sake. Have you never heard of Yoda's wisdom? Gah!
God, there's just so many things wrong with this show. The cons are stupidly easy that I got frustrated thinking that there are people in this world that fell for it, and I know there are. Yeah, okay, the premise is interesting. Which is why the manga was awesome. Although YamaPi didn't exactly deliver a terrible performance, he still needs lots of experience before doing solo male leads. And what's the deal with all the 'bang bang'? That got really tiring after a couple of eps. *breathes* Apparently, I'm still not calm. This DVD will go to the very back of my CD drawer. |
| 75. | Comments by Hayato [Rating: 9/10] best swindler drama |
| 76. | Comments by jess [Rating: 8/10] good acting by yamapi. Story is basically about kurosagi, a swindler who cheats other swindlers as a form of revenge for his family killed due to swindlers. The plot is hard to comprehend at times though. looking forward to the sequel (if there is one). |
| 77. | Comments by illuminati [Rating: 8/10] nice |
| 78. | Comments by onigiriman [Rating: 7/10] I think they could have come up with a better ending. If Kurosaki was going to get arrested, then he should have stayed in jail... at least until Kurosagi 2. |
| 79. | Comments by simonelin [Rating: 6/10] Interesting in the beginning but turned boring behind. |
| 80. | Comments by octane [Rating: 5/10] fast forward this drama after the first two episodes.
the pace is slow and the case is not interesting. |
| 81. | Comments by czajka [Rating: ?/10] [2nd] Watching...Saw 2 episodes and enjoyed muchly, can't wait to see more XD |
| 82. | Comments by *Sayaka* [Rating: ?/10] I am currently watching this live drama and I must say it is absolutely fabulous. It's very intriguing, mesmerizing, and completely takes you into the story itself! Dark, tragic, comedic and more...it has everything! And Yamapi continues to amaze fans with his talents and charm as the lead character, Kurosaki. Yamapi wa totemo kakkoii to kawaii desu yo! One of my favorites! |
| 83. | Comments by Nermal [Rating: 9/10] Actually quite interesting, a good render of the manga.
The cast was well chosen, even if I doubted the choice of yamashita Tomohisa, he has proven that his acting skills have seriously gone up in the past few years.
The supporting cast was simply brilliant in every way possible. The ending leaves you a little bit dissapointed but then, just read the manga to know the rest! ^^ |
| 84. | Comments by athida [Rating: 7/10] Though I like watching Yamapi in it, I didn't get attached to the story. |
| 85. | Comments by nienna [Rating: 5/10] i kinda think the manga is better than the drama. don't be mistaken, i watched the drama before reading the manga and i still think the manga is the best. why? yamapi who potrayed the character kurosagi doesn't really have the kind of expression a good swindler is supposed to have especially if he the kind of swindler who is supposedly to triumph over other swindlers. |
| 86. | Comments by shozen [Rating: 6/10] was ok. cheesy. ending was bad. |
| 87. | Comments by CdMe [Rating: 7/10] The cut after the 11 episodes seemed rather forced, probably a second season in the making.. |
| 88. | Comments by eftermiddag [Rating: 6/10] I'm not sure what to rate this show with. but i chose 6 since i loved it the first time i saw it. the story is good and all that, but i don't feel that there is any development and it makes me a little restless.. but I think that it is a good dorama, but it could be better.
edit: okay now i have seen the whole dorama and i have to say that i liked the ending even though it ended happily. kind of.. ;P |
| 89. | Comments by aiscess [Rating: 8/10] Good series but I guess it's still lacking something... |
| 90. | Comments by lovejdorama [Rating: 8/10] Watched 8/29/06. Charming mainly due to Yamashita Tomohisa!
Avail for trade! 2-DVD English Sub http://www.geocities.com/reddashay/jdorama.html |
| 91. | Comments by Hase [Rating: 10/10] best drama ever |
| 92. | Comments by ainangst [Rating: 5/10] entertaining yet frustrating & dissapointing
maki is cute, ok performance
yamashita looks hot (most of the time) but acting wise, HUGE dissapointment (whacks p on the head) YOU MADE ME LOVE YOU IN NOBUTA. WHY!!!! U CAN BE SO MUCH BETTER!!! |
| 93. | Comments by Hinano [Rating: 8/10] It was okay...difficult to watch because of all the complex vocabulary regarding Japanese business...but ending was disappointing just like Nobuta :( |
| 94. | Comments by estranged [Rating: ?/10] Overrated show. Interesting story but weak execution with poor and unconvincing acting. Didn't make me wanted to watch til the end. |
| 95. | Comments by shinji1246 [Rating: 3/10] Well, as for most people, as long as YamaPi is in it, it's a straight 10...I can't believe how many people voted for this drama. This show sucks. Every swindling cases are the same. Somehow in very case, Yamapi manages to get some fake ID or fake account of some huge company...wat a load of crap...how the hell does he manage to find inside confidential information of so many organisations, all login passwords and every employee detail etc. He doesn't need to be smart (and he wasn't) to swindle his prey because they're all dumb as shit...another thing...why the hell is he so famous with girls in this film? Well, from what i understand, it is because he is a known swindling 'criminal' and because his whole family died because of swindling...I didn't know girls are attracted to criminals!!! OK then, I should go out now and murder a few people, become a criminal myself to attract girls, hey! OMG...why are all Jdormas so overdramatic and unrealistic. Are these dramas targeted at ages 3-5yo. Story is always illogically developed and unhuman . Anime in general are even more realistic and makes way more sense than watching this kinda crap...I must admit, though that the music was pretty cool |
| 96. | Comments by Milano [Rating: 8/10] Interesting plot, different than usual. If there will be a special to finish the story, probably I'll raise the score to 9. |
| 97. | Comments by Pete182 [Rating: ?/10] Very funky drama |
| 98. | Comments by artisticpariah [Rating: 9/10] OH man makes me want to be a swindler! Yampai has AWESOME hair in this drama. |
| 99. | Comments by natzumi [Rating: 8/10] Great acting by Yamap esp the last episode. This is the first time when I see him putting so such emotions into his acting. It brought tears to my eyes. |
| 100. | Comments by atheon [Rating: 7/10] June 2006: Weird yet good performance by Yamapi, plot can be quite ridiculous at times, cos you'll know what's the ending of each episode. A nice drama to spend your free time, might learn a few tricks and tips as well, just that i don't think some of it will work in real life, since it's based on manga. And Maki chan is lovely as usual, really liked the cast. |
| 101. | Comments by dekatrain [Rating: 7/10] a tad better than your advantage drama, but nonetheless i was quite dissapointed with this one...it had so much promise that once i saw the ending it just frustrated the hell out of me...Very interesting characters, in particular the old man, the base of the story was also quite strong. However, i don't think yamapi fit the part - why does he always try to "act cool" rather than simply act? Anyway, some moments were done quite well and the dramatic intensity of the drama in general kept you on the edge of your seat...could of easily got 8+ stars. |
| 102. | Comments by Takeya [Rating: 7/10] Okay storyline with creative swindles and good acting. |
| 103. | Comments by Ashes_Wishes [Rating: 7/10] Not best I've seen, but can't say this is bad. The reason why I started watching this dorama is YamaPi. I'm not at end yet, but I can almost surely say it will be so-and-so -ending.
"Plot" is horribly interesting and when I'll find the manga, I will buy it. Maybe it doesn't have YamaPi in it, but it will be nice to see how much manga is different from dorama.
Butbut. Can't say anything else that this is a dorama which keeps it's watcher in tight grip, even if you don't like much the girl!head character like I don't. :p |
| 104. | Comments by hero too good! [Rating: 10/10] once again yamaP is on the run!
he's acting a very cool performance!it's also
a very interestig story line:) |
| 105. | Comments by atleast13 [Rating: ?/10] the story was different. yamapi's character versus him was eh. at times he's natural but sometimes, the character was just too mature for him. i liked him acting his age and i feel his character was around 25ish y.o. oh well, i bet news groupies were drooling. |
| 106. | Comments by netbreaker [Rating: 8/10] Baido ari... |
| 107. | Comments by tiesw [Rating: 10/10] Fresh, Cute, Good Looking, Cool, Kept You Waiting... |
| 108. | Comments by butterLiLy [Rating: 6/10] Interesting drama but I'm not feeling the characters. Plus, Maki as Tsurara was kinda annyoying. I prefer her as Nobuta though. She was superb in Nobuta |
| 109. | Comments by pitu de monkey [Rating: 9/10] cool...yamap is really cool...
maki is so cute,sweet,calm and low-profile...love her act so much... ^^ |
| 110. | Comments by Qky [Rating: 7/10] No comment for now; only watched first episode and it was so-so.
*****
It was an ok dorama. The idea is interesting but the dorama itself is kind of boring. YamaPi is good as usual but surprisingly Maki-chan didn't deliver her best in this dorama. And what makes me rate this dorama quite low is mainly because of the guy who plays as the police. Man, I really have no idea why he was chosen for that role.. His voice totally disguist me, especially when he laughed.. It gives me goosebumps. |
| 111. | Comments by K.T.Tran [Rating: 6/10] Bleh. Maki's character.....sucked. Ichikawa Yui's character was annoying. Yamapi's "Bang" and "Maidoari" got very annoying and very old. Few likeable characters were the shop owner and the girl who took care of him. They didn't say much or do much. Plus the shop owner was indeed a sly fox. |
| 112. | Comments by YoNnA [Rating: 10/10] YamaP !!! Great series....recommended to all... |
| 113. | Comments by Wynter [Rating: 8/10] I enjoy crime-related dramas and I found that this one definitely delivered. Besides, how can I ignore a sweet YamaP/Maki pairing?? |
| 114. | Comments by Dr_Pain [Rating: 8/10] HMm At the beginning I thought "woah that's so boring "...but anyhow i couldn't stop watching when i began one episode. xD
In the end...it becamse more interesting...too interesting to stop...
but i guess...that genre wasn't my taste. Dunno why. Cast was great i really love Yamapi and Maki Horikita :D but anyhow this series was too difficult to understand. It really reminded me of "Ocean's Eleven". When i watched the movie 1-2 times i didn't understand how they managed it to blag the casino....same fits to Kurosagi...There were really a few episodes i didn't get anything what had to with Swindling a Shirosagi oô but all in all it was entertaining. But not that special as everyone is saying ;D just a good dorama with good scenes, goot cut, good actors, actually a good story but sometimes a bit boring for me. For Yamapi Fans it is of course must-seen ^^ |
| 115. | Comments by GIGI [Rating: ?/10] Finally finished this. 10 episodes of gorgeous looking Yamapi. I was hoping a better treatment of his character's relationship with Horikita Maki. |
| 116. | Comments by yamapi_4lways [Rating: 10/10] how can i miss this??? its yamap!! |
| 117. | Comments by yamapi_lover [Rating: 10/10] loved it . loved yamapi . loved everything! |
| 118. | Comments by moonchyld [Rating: 6/10] watched a few eps here and there, but the drama just kept repeating itself. most importantly, the way kurosagi swindled wasn't smart/slick enough.. it seemed too amateur. it's like the drama focused more on the leads being idols (though i like yamapi) than the story. anyway read mmyy's comment as it thoroughly conveys how i feel about the drama. |
| 119. | Comments by gomibagu [Rating: 6/10] Could have been much better |
| 120. | Comments by cashewramen [Rating: 10/10] yamap so cool...!! with his black hairr... i like the way he play his mouth.. en his lips.. hmm.. make me want to eat it.. heahueahueahhuaeuheahuea.. |
| 121. | Comments by Mali [Rating: 7/10] Well, it was cool, but after watching 3 or 4 episodes, I had the feeling it was more or less always the same. |
| 122. | Comments by SmiLeeGirl [Rating: 10/10] Ohhh I liked this one - Yampi is cute. It is weird to see nobuta there as well. Her eyes are startling. The plot is the same for each show but the different types of cheaters is interesting. I would like to see a Kurosagi 2 |
| 123. | Comments by black-li [Rating: 8/10] Kurosagi, please catch me! |
| 124. | Comments by Lisat1005 [Rating: 9/10] I LoOoOoVe yamapi!!! He was awesome in this drama, kind of a grown up version of Akira from nobuta that was a sagi! haha all i gotta say is this is a must see! |
| 125. | Comments by tkarmina28 [Rating: 10/10] This was a really sad drama that I found very interesting and unique. Some people didn't enjoy it for its dark and serious tone, but I find it entirely appropriate. Yamapi really improved his acting skills in this drama. I thought he delivered an amazing performance. This drama was totally worth the watch. |
| 126. | Comments by LiA_san [Rating: 10/10] yamaP was acting so cool in this drama... oh no!! i luv yamaP!!! |
| 127. | Comments by v1olet [Rating: 9/10] This is how cheater cheats other cheaters. Interesting to watch. Yamapi's acting skill is awesome. |
| 128. | Comments by yetters [Rating: 6/10] The story was too thin, very predictable and boring at times. The acting was just so-so. Yamashita Tomohisa didn't show much acting range and Horikita Maki came off as too self-righteous. They weren't too believable. It was an ambitious drama, and frankly the producers didn't pull it off.
[Personally, I really hoped Yamashita Tomohisa's first acting lead would be a a good one. I was severely disappointed.] |
| 129. | Comments by addicted2tackey [Rating: ?/10] watching... currently on ep3 |
| 130. | Comments by ~ushi~ga~iru~ [Rating: 6/10] only saw 3 episodes of it , stopped because..urr.. didn’t agree with something the "lead actor " was doing in episodes 3-4 *cough cough*( might finish it later << ) but anyway of what i saw wasn’t bad... kind of cute nice to see a different plot then the regular school / career drama. yamashita's acting was good at some points and a little off at others but had a basically solid performance, but I thought maki outshined him in what I saw ^.~ |
| 131. | Comments by aoi_dolphine [Rating: 8/10] Learnt quite a few interesting term here. Shirosagi, Akasagi and Kurosagi. However, this drama centres around mostly of Shirosagi characters and as well as Yamapi's role as the Kurosagi. However in some parts of the drama if kind of veers off too fast into the swindling scence. That's where the 2 pts goes to. Overall worth watching. |
| 132. | Comments by DragonSpirit164 [Rating: 9/10] This is great! I thought both Yamapi and Horikita Maki, both of whom I didn't really rate previously, did alright in this drama. Keeps you on the edge every episode until the last 2 episodes which in my opinion, was a big letdown. I was unexplicably drawn to Daite Senorita as well.. great song. |
| 133. | Comments by Tokibaka [Rating: 10/10] This drama is really good. The story is so good that some weak acting doesn't matter. Yamapi does a great job in this. |
| 134. | Comments by adrxuan [Rating: 9/10] v.nice..XD..and yamapi is so hot and cute in this show...nice! |
| 135. | Comments by hisashi [Rating: 8/10] Plot full of loopholes but interesting nevertheless. |
| 136. | Comments by Yukyou [Rating: 10/10] I loved this drama <3 Yamapi was great as Kurosaki. |
| 137. | Comments by JunNoHime [Rating: 9/10] So much fun, hope they make a second season:) |
| 138. | Comments by expanzee [Rating: 9/10] This show is beyond interesting. There's Maki in there, Yamapi too. What's there more to ask? |
| 139. | Comments by kaekaae [Rating: 1/10] I like it coz tomo is an actor |
| 140. | Comments by Anees [Rating: 9/10] Yamapi is soooo cool. He's like Johnny Depp meets KimuTaku. This dorama could have been a little funnier, but overall it is very good. It'd be cool if they had a season 2.
Bang! |
| 141. | Comments by calico [Rating: 5/10] Highly anticipated this drama. But even as I continued to watch each week, I was stuck with a nagging feeling that each new episode was just a repeat of the previous one. The plot which seemed so promising did not seem to be progressing at all, with episodes mostly being one-shot of how he swindle a new character each week. Then in the last few episodes, as though realizing the series is suppose to end soon, the writers hurried the plot to tie up loose ends. The relationship between Kurosagi and Tsurara was extremely unsatisfying. There was no progression, no development at all in this aspect. Overall, Kurosagi ended up being a drama that wasn't quite able to deliver, and just didn't do it for me at all. While I enjoyed the obviousd chemistry between Yamapi and Horikita Maki, it was a pity the writers was not able to capitalize on that to write a more deeper and heartfelt story on the bond between to the two protagonists. |
| 142. | Comments by Hanzo21 [Rating: 7/10] The drama was a about a 4 in rating. Horikita Maki's perfect 10 performance was enough to salvage this series for a passing mark of 7. |
| 143. | Comments by aznpride26 [Rating: 10/10] i love this drama!!! especially because yamapi is in it. love it love it love it. |
| 144. | Comments by Nobita-kun [Rating: 6/10] A lackluster adaptation which failed to capture the spirit of the manga. I found myself cringing through some of the beginning episodes, however, the series improved in the latter half (starting with episode 7), redeeming it somewhat. It is overall watchable but ultimately leaves one with the lingering feeling that it could've been much better. Yamapi makes a dashing Kurosagi but he clearly needs more practice with conveying the serious emotions. Maki is kawaii but her stubborn, holier-than-thou character got on my nerves. |
| 145. | Comments by sukichan [Rating: 8/10] Kurosagi is the awesomeness . Pi's acting was excellent =D the whole casting , storyline and characters flowed nicely . (okay , maybe not all eps are , but w/e 8D) I enjoyed watching it ~ Maki was so cute <3 XD |
| 146. | Comments by ayachan369 [Rating: 8/10] Quite a cool drama. Bang |
| 147. | Comments by kaonashi [Rating: 6/10] A superficial plot & ridiculously lame swindle cases. The second half of the drama's a bit better but then the ending wasn't really satisfying in any aspect. The cast's ok with some of the top young stars in Japan. A watchable but extremely overrated drama. 6- |
| 148. | Comments by lilaznmonkee [Rating: 10/10] simple as this..I LOVED it!! =]] he's so hot in it...but cold though... |
| 149. | Comments by nimadifob [Rating: 5/10] very unconvicing storyline, not character's fault tho. yamapi and maki kinda keeps this one alive |
| 150. | Comments by pinkhairyfairy [Rating: 8/10] liked the story, got a bit repetive at some points. ending sucked. |
| 151. | Comments by cutina124 [Rating: 10/10] Love the theme song to this. I love singing along with the karaoke. This drama is good, and very suspensful. I was expecting drama, therefore slightly dissapointed, but if a second season they may deal with the romance there. I really like the actors in this and his little thing after defeating each swindler. Kind of like a signature action, like kon in nobuta wo produsu. I really can't express how wonderful it is, but I hope that everyon e will watch it. |
| 152. | Comments by taibabi [Rating: 9/10] BANG |
| 153. | Comments by irwinner [Rating: 8/10] Bang~ |
| 154. | Comments by carie_akanishi [Rating: 6/10] Liked yamapi character fr nobuta tts y dl the show.. but its not tt interesting so stopped halfway..hee |
| 155. | Comments by Q-chan [Rating: 8/10] Great work by YamaPi! Love Koyama Keiichiro in the 2nd ep... |
| 156. | Comments by Tu_triky [Rating: 4/10] This dorama was greeted with much anticipation and expectation after the success of Nobuta wo Produce....but this dorama itself failed to produce. The acting was poor, and the portrayal of Yamapi as a slick young thief in the shoes of a "modern day Robin Hood" was thoroughly unconvincing. This manga-inspired dorama failed to generate a suspension of disbelief necessary for the viewer to engage in the story. The strained relationship between the main characters was completely unmemorable and unbelievable. The supporting cast was equally weak. I could not finish watching this sad excuse for a dorama. |
| 157. | Comments by hafiza [Rating: 5/10] erm... ok but tomohisa in this drama still not much different than nobuta drama |
| 158. | Comments by Cherry_Chan [Rating: 10/10] Wonderful. Pi-chan is just to funny with his 99 different roles and Maki-chan is so headstrong in this show. They make make an awesome pair pair together. |
| 159. | Comments by ume [Rating: 7/10] YamaP very cute/hot in this. Enjoyed seeing his disguises the most. Plot was OK. Hated the Yukari woman she's a bad actress and her character in this was soooo annoying. Horikita Maki did an OK job. Not an oscar-winning drama but it's alright. |
| 160. | Comments by polar1s [Rating: 6/10] hahha watched it coz of yamapi! though he crys too much here...lol..plus my japanese vocab about economics money is still bleh..dakara bit hard 2 understand yanne |
| 161. | Comments by Alatariel [Rating: 7/10] A new try from yamapi.. this character is a lot darker than his previous roles. Suki desu~ |
| 162. | Comments by zakytang [Rating: 8/10] Very entertaining |
| 163. | Comments by Wen3Wen [Rating: 9/10] Loved the idea of swindling swindlers ... got a lil repetitive in the middle |
| 164. | Comments by ex(alibur` [Rating: 6/10] kurosagi starts off rather promising, but ended with a bitter taste in my mouth. the first few eps were actually, IMO, a joy to watch with kurosaki plotting his ways of revenge on the shiro/akasagis. however, it gets increasingly repetitive with its subtle plots of deception. what kept me going was the myserious rlship kurosaki had with katsuragi, as well as the seemingly on-off romance maki has with kurosaki. every ep was pretty much of a standalone, not much continuation in terms of plot/story. the ending was pathetic; it wasn't bad but definitely did not turn out to according to my expectations. to conclude, kurosagi is a mediocre show. watch it only if you have the time. |
| 165. | Comments by MRStakahisa [Rating: 8/10] A show about how a "good" cheater cheats the "bad" cheaters. Same actress from Nobuta wo Produce.
-People from NEWS-
Yamashita Tomohisa: Cool, cool and cool! I like it when he cries. It's sooo beautiful~ xD
Koyama Keiichiro: Only for one episode where he's also one of the cheaters. |
| 166. | Comments by catlin_kay [Rating: 6/10] the reason i watched this is because of Horikita Maki.. |
| 167. | Comments by jahvi [Rating: 10/10] I bought this drama because of Yamapi. Actually, I saw Nobuta wo Produce first and I really like him therefore I bought Kurosagi and loved it!!! ^^ |
| 168. | Comments by K|NK| [Rating: 10/10] yamapi is so kewl & handsome.. ^-^ |
| 169. | Comments by kneehard [Rating: 10/10] I profess to be a big fan of the YamaPi + Horikita Maki combo after watching Nobuta wo Produce. So this dorama was a plus for me. It started out a bit confusing, but it got more interesting as the show went on. I'd recommend it to anyone, not just Yamapi fans. |
| 170. | Comments by l3in8 [Rating: 9/10] The lead is so cool |
| 171. | Comments by LivNagisa [Rating: 6/10] Nothing spectacular, but I've always liked stories that involve con-artist schemes. |
| 172. | Comments by shitomaru [Rating: 6/10] i like it until it reached the last 2 or 3 episodes. the sotry became dull 'n pointless. Yamapi didn't match with the character, they should have found others than him. Yui's character was very annoying. don't know why. |
| 173. | Comments by Kirari Ililah [Rating: 8/10] Meh it's an average role for Yamashita. It wasn't bad, the schemes were quite witty, but the emphasis between the two "lovers" wasn't well plotted because in the end it just left the same way you begin watching it... |
| 174. | Comments by Shouryuuken [Rating: 9/10] This was my first Yamapi drama and being slightly suspicious of the talents of boy band-become-actor types, I was surprised to see a strong performance by him. A good story-line helped good acting and sticking with a good tactic of doing unrelated episodes at the beginning and then slowly linking them together from half-way, made Kurosagi more entertaining to me than a lot of other dramas. Definitely a must-watch drama.! No problems that I could think of. |
| 175. | Comments by Yudistirama [Rating: 9/10] Sugoi Drama!!!! I like how Horikita maki's Play.. Kannojo wa kawaii desu!!!!!! |
| 176. | Comments by Kitsuchi [Rating: 9/10] This is a good dorama. Interesting story. Good actors/actresses.. Not bad about Yamapi being the head actor and Horikita too. For me, actually, I thought the last episode was a bit emotional.. But about what happened in the end, how the dorama ended, I didn't like it. It's exactly as someone wrote - it ended exactly as it began. Not much had changed. I hoped for a good, interesting and happy ending, but no.. I hope, and am quite sure of, that there will be a Kurosagi II or something. Because the ending kind of tells you that - that the story is going to continue. At least, I hope for an ending, because even though the ending of this, I liked the idea of the story a lot. If not of the ending, I would give it a 10 ^_^. |
| 177. | Comments by ndahhyuqyu [Rating: 10/10] i love yamapi , this dorama very...very...very good., |
| 178. | Comments by itsonlykat [Rating: 1/10] I didn't like it, after i watched 4 episodes i began to be bored. It wasn't that interesting EXCEPT if you are a fan of yamapi, you MIGHT find him CUTE!!! But im not a fan so i'll leave it to the FANS! |
| 179. | Comments by Ezalor [Rating: 6/10] I think this show is basically built around YamaP's costume changing. I love Horikita, she becomes cuter to me every time I see her. The story gets a bit too repetitive in the middle episodes. |
| 180. | Comments by zaza_tk87 [Rating: ?/10] complete. HS |
| 181. | Comments by hikaruhana [Rating: 4/10] Yep, I watched it. Very cheesy and contrived, not the best acting in the world but I kinda enjoyed watching it anyway. Bang! Maidou ari! |
| 182. | Comments by kou [Rating: 8/10] for those who had watched tis drama: towards e ending, i realli tot yamapi had lost to e law.
for those who has not watched tis drama: i cant say tis drama's contents r terrific. but, as a dark n sinister drama abt swindlers; i was thrilled and kept in suspense enough to find e drama enjoyable. in addition, yamapi is e lead actor la.. ;p |
| 183. | Comments by oline [Rating: 10/10] I loved the plot of this dorama. It was something else.... its a bit unussual when you look at it (love story side that is....). The YaMaki tandem always looks good into my eyes. Swindling swindlers is something new to me also. The revenge theme was perfect.
Maioari... BANG!!! |
| 184. | Comments by tetsu69ers [Rating: 8/10] bam!! bam!! |
| 185. | Comments by alucardlive [Rating: 9/10] I really liked it even though a bit cheesy at times, what more than a guy like me want to watch than a drama filled with vengeance and a bit of romance. I thought it was really good. |
| 186. | Comments by phoenix278 [Rating: 8/10] I actually really liked this drama! Yamapi and Maki make such a cute pair! After seeing them in NWP, I knew I wanted to see more dramas with them. I really hope they make a sequel to it! i mean there's still some ends that need to be closed. :) |
| 187. | Comments by liquidlzero [Rating: 7/10] it was good but thats as far as it goes for me not to special |
| 188. | Comments by Lady Zhuge [Rating: 7/10] I like it for the most part, but it does get repetitive and episodic. Don't think too much about the plot, otherwise there will be loopholes aplenty. |
| 189. | Comments by Shuin [Rating: 8/10] Decent Dorama. |
| 190. | Comments by ScrappedShinigami [Rating: 9/10] A reall great show!!!
I really loved the idea behind this one, a swindler who swindles... swindlers XD
I was never much of a YamaPi fan until I watched this show and absolutely fell in love with him. He played Kurosagi so well, I really REALLY enjoyed it!!!
Yamaki = <3 |
| 191. | Comments by masnita [Rating: 8/10] emmm.......interesting but I was a bit dissapointed with the lead actress role in this one. Probably expecting a more 'umpph' character after watching her in Nobuta wo Produce. |
| 192. | Comments by Amika [Rating: 7/10] watch this because of Maki.. the story was a bit weird. |
| 193. | Comments by Signo [Rating: 7/10] It was too concentrated on the swindle-part and the costume changes, but i am looking forward to kurosagi 2! Horikita Maki was really cute, like in Nobuta w.P.. |
| 194. | Comments by rhh51 [Rating: 10/10] Great drama...!!! Yamashita acting was so good in this drama. And this drama has an unique story too. |

| 201. | Comments by gopro [Rating: 7/10] More on the 7.75 side. For some reason I just find Tackey. I just find this guys acting so mediocre if anything. LLL, Nobuta, Zakura, This show. Really nothing. Anyways, this show is on the weaker side of the dramas Ive watched. Good to watch if you want time to kill you.

| 210. | Comments by NuOy [Rating: 7/10] I'm not Yama-P fan . So i just only watch the story. And I think the cheat is not hard to know how to do and cheat back. So I don't want to buy it any more. |
