Five

I couldn't watch more than 2 episodes. This is just the worst dorama I'v ever watched.

Wow, there was pretty much total incompetence at all levels in the production of this. Maybe the stupid, annoying direction/cinematography was used in hopes no one would notice the writing was so horrible. The "plot" is disjointed, inconsistent and really makes no sense. The script has absolutely no respect for any of the characters, they're just stick figures to be moved around and spew idiotic dialogue. I guess the actors are to be forgiven for their performances. It's hard to imagine anyone able to make the words in the script believable.

FIVE is kind of like Subekan Deka in concept, but without the humor. This sliick drama is jammed with energy, and even has a few twists; the girls look great - especially sultry Saraina Suzuki. The fights and stunts are arresting, though the story doesn't make much sense. Tomoe Shinohara, as usual, is annoying. Despite sections with nice energy, annoying plot holes gradually expand like Swiss cheese - and then the drama becomes too much of a downer for my tastes. FIVE has a lot of potential, but squanders much of it along the way.
