| 1. | Comments by Jeanxi [Rating: 3/10] Only watched the first episode. Weird story plus not very interesting. A horrible waste of Tsutsumi Shinichi's good acting skills. |
| 2. | Comments by Jhvx [Rating: 8/10] Quite good, good thriller and an astonishing end but the plot advances very slowly |
| 3. | Comments by Dorobou [Rating: 8/10] Good suspense jdrama are few, and this is one of them. |
| 4. | Comments by Nermal [Rating: 10/10] Can`t wait to watch. Okada Junichi and Tsutsumi Shinichi together again! ^^ Awesome!
It had been quite awhile since I saw a good Japanese action drama that didn't involve romance! This was blessed with a cast of incredible actors, a good storyline and a good concept and making. Completely worth the watch and looking really forward to seeing the movie finale! ^_^ |

| 6. | Comments by moonchyld [Rating: 6/10] ok, now i know why okada junichi is so "ninki" among women.. he's quite charismatic i must say.. the action scenes in the drama were pretty cool too for a japanese production.. but overall the story was weak and the episodes didn't connect at all.. not even in terms of character build-up. i'll def check out another okada drama from now on though :) |
| 7. | Comments by aoi_dolphine [Rating: 8/10] This is not a very fast paced drama. If you are expecting more of the US or HK type of action drama. I will tell you just to forget it. The producer here is trying to steer away from the western or asean kind of action dramas. Mainly focus on Inoue Kaoru & Ogata Soichiro's character. I gave it 8 bcos it's refleshing to see it from a japanese producer point of view on Security Police job. |
| 8. | Comments by expanzee [Rating: ?/10] Still airing. |
| 9. | Comments by x_XJules [Rating: 8/10] Actually a fairly good show. It took me a little while to get into it, and it is a little silly.. still I watched it to the end and if they make a 2nd season (which looks likely) I will probably watch that too. |
| 10. | Comments by marspeach [Rating: 7/10] Fighting scenes were good and Okada Junichi was hot, but the story of the problems in the system was kinda boring. Just watch the action scenes. |
| 11. | Comments by Eyeyore [Rating: 6/10] The first action-packed drama that goes slow motion. What an oxymoron ! |
| 12. | Comments by shiroi_tora [Rating: 8/10] I thought that this drama gives enough suspence and action to keep the view interested. The relationship of Ogata and Inoue is key in this drama which is shown throughout |
| 13. | Comments by wanderingfish7 [Rating: 7/10] Something special to watch. |
| 14. | Comments by akitsu [Rating: 7/10] Very enjoyable, however I expected more of an end. |
| 15. | Comments by Milano [Rating: 10/10] I liked it very much. Totemo omoshiroi. |
| 16. | Comments by Inujun [Rating: 8/10] Watched this due to friend's recommendations, and I did enjoy it a lot although almost every arc started out a bit slow. The action scenes were done pretty well though, and some parts where they used brains instead of violence to outwit the criminals were pretty impressive. The problem was it became a bit draggy somewhere near the end and turned out very anti-climatic and quite idiotic; especially at the last episode. No idea why they had to turn some scenes into slow motion which resulted in me having to fast forward it, something I don't usually do----therefore decreasing the score to an '8'. The last few minutes were probably the highlights, giving a twist for future SP. Music was very good and Ogata fit very well into this role. All I can say is that this is a good drama but could be done much better. |
| 17. | Comments by v1olet [Rating: 7/10] Okada, the bodyguard with his 6th sense. Quite boring, only the last 3 episodes that were good. It's not finished yet, awaiting SP Special (finale episode). |

| 19. | Comments by yurifly [Rating: 8/10] I would have given this drama a higher rating had the ending wasn't that ambiguous. I understand that it was to maintain curiosity in anticipation for the special, but there were too much loose ends that I thought could be tied up better. I love suspense, but I found the suspense here got a little cliched. The final scene with the prime minister, for example, what the hell were the rest of the cops doing standing around when there was obviously an assassin there? And why the heck didn't they call for more help like normally people would do? It ended up being like a cheap attempt to make Okada's character more heroic..totally failed. Aside from my nit-picky scrutiny, I enjoyed the drama well enough. Not only the fact that Okada looked dazingly hot, but there were some good chemistry between the casts, though at first I thought something might happened between him and the female SP. The background music was amazing btw. I have never really seen any suspense drama using so much classical music but it ended up working quite well. I guess I'm gonna wait for special before I can really judge the plot bc at this point i'm quite unsatisfied. (btw, okada is a little too short for his role imo, but i guess his eyes totally made up for it) |
| 20. | Comments by ct_subang [Rating: 7/10] 2 words...Okada kakkoii!!enuff said.. |
| 21. | Comments by Dark^3nforc3r [Rating: 5/10] Idea is nice.. Lacks relationship and character development.. Boring at times.. |
| 22. | Comments by ginger ale [Rating: 8/10] I couldn't resist watching a Shinichi Tsutsumi and Okada Junichi tandem in an action film. The action though was not fast paced enough for me. But I was fascinated by the story and absolutely enthralled by the beauty of these two men in a non-bishie way!!! I love how the modern and the paranormal in Inoue's intuitive character fused with the sense of justice in Ogata's portrayal of the Chief. And I want more, a part 2, not just a special!! |

| 24. | Comments by shinjitsu [Rating: 6/10] Didn't meet the expectations of the 'hype' surrounding it. No real surprises to the ending. Essentially just waited for the drama to unfold. |
| 25. | Comments by room304 [Rating: 4/10] this drama was okay to watch, but boring at times and the so called twist was too predictable |
| 26. | Comments by chinz [Rating: 7/10] not bad... very action packed... tho the ending abit....er..... |
| 27. | Comments by Signo [Rating: 8/10] refreshing new. the main part of the special is only a review.
the end is open, so a second season would be nice! |
| 28. | Comments by aiscess [Rating: 9/10] The very first serious police drama for me. Though it has some funny scenes as well, this is really as serious as it gets. I must say that Ifm impressed with the fight scenes, well choreographed compared to the other dramas Ifve watched so far. And for me the highlight of the series aside from the last story is of course Story II: The Hospital Siege. The director really did a great job here. Hope to see the movie! |
| 29. | Comments by sword_of_heaven [Rating: 8/10] The story is fast paced and the music is good, and its overall interesting. Bad point - NO character development. Whatsoever. And the SP seemed almost meaningless. |
| 30. | Comments by Kuro570 [Rating: 10/10] Must watch, I'm going to describe this with key words.... Terrorist, Special, police, guns, arrests, murder, epic! need any more than that? |
| 31. | Comments by Akiiness [Rating: 7/10] Another Okada & Tsutsumi collaboration, can't be missed! It's rather rare to see a j-drama with action, so I really liked this one. Plus, it's short & to-the-point. Recommended. |
| 32. | Comments by RedSamurai [Rating: 9/10] This drama is very "special"... It's one of the few action jdramas out there (which is absolutely great since it completely succeeded in that extent). As everyone has been saying, there almost NO ROMANCE involved (another good thing that should be considered once in while), but also unfortunately not much character development: apart from Okada's and Tsutsumi's characters, the rest of the cast is pretty much just a filler! Interestingly, the package -as a whole- doesn't suffer much from it! Thanks to an amazing performance by Okada Junichi and Tsutsumi Shinichi (for which Okada deserved and did win the 56th TDAA's Best Actor), combined with an excellent directing (awarded as well) and finally featuring a remarkable soundtrack, it's definitely a great drama worth your time and attention (no wonder it was awarded 56th TDAA Best Drama and 1st TDA Best Non-Genre Drama).
N.B: Don't worry about the 'very' open end (which does make the first episodes indeed kind of a wasted opportunity of plot development), and don't rely on the special to give you any answers since it won't serve more than an event-sorting review. However, this is definitely great since it most probably means that an 'SP season 2' down the road... |
| 33. | Comments by w-kassy [Rating: 8/10] Nice action drama, Junichi did a great job coz there's a lot fighting scene.
But, quite boring in some part. To much dialogue and details I think. |
| 34. | Comments by natni [Rating: 8/10] i love mysterious kinda thing...
want the sequel.. |
| 35. | Comments by compaqmac321 [Rating: 10/10] great show, left me wanting more |
| 36. | Comments by nickylynn [Rating: 10/10] A good action drama. Okada Junichi action scenes were really well done. Tsutsumi Shinichi did his part so well. |
| 37. | Comments by xploring [Rating: 8/10] Excellent production and good acting all round, I found it lacking in characterizaton and insights into the profession, the mind and life of SP. It's almost all setup, events unfold and resolution. It was enthralling and gripping at all the crisis situations, and the backstory of the main character was well-told. I particularly like the performance by the actor who played the last assassin. |
| 38. | Comments by maguro666 [Rating: 9/10] Really good peace and intriguing plot |
| 39. | Comments by WhiteHawk [Rating: 10/10] Excellent series. Good pace, great action, interesting characters, shot very well. |
| 40. | Comments by irwinner [Rating: 6/10] Should have focused more on the main story instead of the action. |
| 41. | Comments by sect0r7 [Rating: 7/10] Love the actions in it. |
| 42. | Comments by coldeyes [Rating: 7/10] worth it |
| 43. | Comments by monstakarotte [Rating: 6/10] Okada was better than the drama itself ^^ |
