Fan reviews: Hero

alfiesgal · 22 Oct 2004

what a great ensemble comedy, drama, & some mild mannered suspense! i must have seen this at least 3 times now over the years. it's a seductive view of office culture, where friends and enemies still coexist in harmony. for my money, matsu takako is the secret ingredient. you can almost put any other genial, sweet-faced young "slacker" opposite her goody 2-shoes stickler, and still have the formula work. except, of course, kimura's saucer-eyes are adorable & his close-ups save him from any heavy-duty acting (let's face it: even his role in GIFT '96 was more demanding.) the supporting actors are all hilarious caricatures. the only downside is whenever kimura breaks out the family values-sermons. overall a FUN, FUN, FUN series!

ok..i watched it with chinese subtitles..i guess with everyone else as well..they talked SO FAST, that's probably y it's not 10/10, even if it was in english subbed, it's a little fast. but the plot was really really good. just engouh love and just enough comedy. perfect 4 everyone

i really enjoy the pairing of Takuya Kimura and Takako Matsu. They both look so cute together.... Well... anyway, this show is very interesting. I bought the series.. and I think I had watched it over and over again for a millionth time and still not bored with it yet. This dorama is funny and very interesting. Takuya especially, did a wonderful job... as always...

Amusing courtroom drama...Kimutaku plays his usual role and looks pretty good...Takako gotta lose teh glasses to look better (as takuya said in show as well)...the supporting cast did a really good job (that Abe guy is fuuuuuuunny)...drama basically about a few cases that kimutaku and his bureau takes on and solves against the odds...romance wise not much...ending wus kinda meh...still pretty funny...watch it when u have the time

This is one creative and original drama. The plot is excellent, the characters are strong, and the setting (the district attorney's office) is original, and the pace is fast. I liked the direction of this drama, it's serious, yet not dull, and they add a bit of humor at the right places, while at the same time there's a bit of romance, not too much, but just enough to keep you interested.
I enjoyed the cases that Kimura Takuya had to solve and how each case gets progressively harder, and how his character comes out more and more, and changes the hearts of those around him. Although this has been used before in other dramas, it doesn't feel the same in this drama for some reason. A great drama to watch!

TAKAKO IS NICE

an enjoyable show... kimura takuya was a little goofy and his obsession with sell-a-vision was hilarious... the supporting cast was great too... was hoping that something would develop between kuryu and amamiya. theme song by Hikki is really nice.

Hmm a educational flunkie with unconventional practices and unappreciative colleagues. Does this sound a little familiar? Haha I swear this JDorama has its roots to GTO; down to the very love story. On the other hand I do not think you can deny the megastar matchup of Matsu and Kimura. Matsu is just too gorgeous in this one to make me degrade this dorama.

Maybe it's cuz I'm mostly a fan of love stories which keeps me from giving this a 10. Well, what attracted me to this drama was the KimuTaku/Matsu connection. That duet is unbeatable and with great supporting characters like Hiroshi, this drama really deserves a 10, but it's not really a love story....gosh, why not!

adhi-kun · 17 Jul 2003

Stories are very entertaining and creative. Kimutaku's acting is neat, but Takako Matsu is "underutilized" in this Kimutaku-dominated dorama. There should be more relationship development between the two. Stories are good just by itself, but a little more character development would give it a 10/10

windrider · 29 Jun 2003

Takuya was hyper cool in this one. This one had a fair share of humour and twists in it, and it never got boring. The chemistry between takuya and matsu is pretty good in this one... Also loved the ending song (can you keep a secret)

juliana_phang · 21 Jun 2003

well..
i've only watched this drama once..no repeats..
maybe because i dont really like investigation sort of drama..
i prefer romance...
but these 9 stars goes to the great chemistry among both of them n their marvellous acting...

matsuers · 6 May 2003

I 'll never care abt the storyline if Taku and Taka play as lover. They've never disappointed me...

jaycee · 19 Oct 2002

i don't really find it interesting... still, kimura takuya and matsu takako are really great couple... they are so funny... matsu takako is sooo adorable whenever she gets mad at Kuryu's actions that seems to make her angry... *^^* well, i'd only like the first episode because it was really funny... but i dun think that 'HERO' was a really drama worth to watch... this is my oppinion...

toHeart_music · 5 Aug 2002

I really Takuya Kimura with Matsu Takako.This drama is just....so .WONDERFUL.!The content is meaningful and interesting...well...the ending was sort of funny...I like the theme song!!

jdfan · 1 Jul 2002

One of the top rating show but I think this one is a bit overrated. Very good story lines. Kimura was very funny. Interesting relationship between Kimura and Matsu...is not clear, just hints! I wish they develop the relationship a little bit more.

chentnk · 14 Jun 2002

Cool filming technique the way the camera pans the characters and the ofice. Also an interesting storyline although the ''romance'' between kimura and takako is VERY trying. do they get together or not!!!?!!! but a good performance by kimura I think, different from the rest of the shows. Critics that say he can't act for nuts should try opening their eyes a bit more. There is nothing more difficult than to make acting look as though it is NOT acting.

juita_ejet · 14 May 2002

Takuya is so charming and cool! Worth to watch. An easy entertaining story...

warren.mcclendon · 3 May 2002

This drama has an entirely different pace to it. I liked the two leads performances, but I feel overall they had too many characters.
