Fan reviews: Byakuyakou

Kirari Ililah · 15 Jun 2006

I like this, I don't care if it's kind of similar to Sekai, it has a different plot and the emotion in this is more different. The love scenes between the two aren't as compelling as Sekai, but they are a good combination. The story was almost perfectly plotted out, and the plot twists did make it more mysterious, though I do hve problems with the sudden encounter of new characters, the transition isn't too smooth.
I recommend this for any one who likes love stories and a nice suspense drama. It leaves you at the tension of whether they will get caught again..

PS: Tanaka Koutaro in one of Yamada's dramas again!

Yamada Takayuki is a good actor as well as the other actors in the drama

but this drama is kinda just so so~ i wouldn't rewatch it ~

like it's a good drama (like i watched everyweek 1 episode) but not to a pt where u'd wanna rewatch it~
problem with the script i think~~

the original story is definitely good tho~ it's intriguing~

but the drama itself is not a very good adaptation~

byakuyakou and sekaichuu share very many similarities, including the same main leads, but i really prefer byakuyakou to sekaichuu. it's a much more sordid story, for one thing :P oh come on, child prostitution, extortion, blackmail, murder...you really can't beat that, can you?

I've only seen the first episode. You can already tell its going to be a sad ending. When it comes to Jdoramas I cant stand sad endings. Anyways, to me, its sort of like a combinations between "Sekai no Chuushin de" and " A Million Stars Falling from the Sky". Looks like its going to be an okay drama

Perhaps owing to the success of "Crying out love in the centre of the world", the producers are trying to use the same formula in a totally different story and setting.

However, from the first episode, it's clearly over doing it, especially with the BGM. It's also unnecessary to tell the story in a retrospective perspective.

The story itself seems to be even less compelling than its counterpart when the boy kills his own father without any strugglings. We will see how the rest turns out!

The 2nd and the 3rd episodes are making the story less feasible. They could just fled away from Japan and start their own life. Why waste the time and wait?

In Crying out love, we could see drama building up to the climax. This one, I am simply dissappointed so far. Let's see how it resolve itself.
