Ikebukuro West Gate Park [池袋ウエストゲートパーク] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) Quite good! I just couldn't help but think that it missed that special magic that hooks you in...
However, it's in no mean a loss of time!! Watch it if you get to, but I wouldn't go as far as saying that you better kill yourself if you didn't watch this :)
Jikou Keisatsu [時効警察] Rating: 6/10 (Watched) Quite passable at best... Just can't stand the lack of chemistry between the two leading characters! You could try it for its entertaining cases, but I won't go as far as recommend it.
Suna No Utsuwa [砂の器] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) 10, Yes! It's just that good... *speechless*
Tiger & Dragon [タイガー＆ドラゴン] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) A solid, really well done, one of a kind Dorama that you can simply applause!

Tiger & Dragon [タイガー＆ドラゴン] Kono Dorama wo mite yokatta naaaaa!! [Rating: 10/10] Having finished watching 'My Boss, My Hero' , I was really amazed by Nagase's performance so I wanted to see more of him!
I was quite disappointed that Nagase character in this drama was almost the same as the one in 'My Boss, My Hero' : The untreatable, cold and scary yakuza o.O I could understand that it fits him really well, but I still have preferred to have a completely different setting.
All this said, you will EAAAAAAASILY forget about and start to fuse with the very rich plot that this drama has to offer!
In order to get right in the middle of the thing, especially if you start watching from episode 1 directly, some basic knowledge of Rakugo would be more than welcome. If you can't/don't want to, you could still watch 'the special' which sets up for the events in the 1st episode... let's say that it's episode 0 :D
Basically, each episode features a different tale that's "masterpiecely" presented and mixed in a clever manner with the real events! The result is so successful that you gotta watch it by yourself to grab a good feel about it!!
One last, but not least, thing to mention is the rock solid performance of Okada which was simply amazing, and was equal, if not slightly above, Nagase's... At least that's the feeling I got.
There's a looot of stuff that could be added, but I think the best is that you experience it yourself, ne? All in all, This Dorama is a one of a kind that DOES deserve your full attention. Watch it and you won't regret it ;)
