Hmmz... This was the first time I actually took to a Jap dorama--used to think that they weren't very appealing, but after HERO, I thought that Matsu Takako and Kimura Takuya were EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD, and that their on-screen chemistry was woo-hoo, wonderful! Great dorama! Enjoyed it a lot!
BEST DRAMA I VE EVER SEEN!!!

i watched it for the plot though i must admit that takuya kimura looks cute... haha! the cast is alright but i'm starting to get sick of the takuya-takako pair-up... (they look great of course)
i love the rest of the cast too. they have a different story which they do not want others to know. and when they shut their doors after some conversation, it's like shutting out the whole world from urself. i love kuryu's office and all the wacky things he buy. and as sarafina has pointed out, kuryu's colleagues are so weird that he is normal. it's an enjoyable show and the romantic element is nicely blended into the entire story without emphasizing too much on it. i realised it's becoming more of the trend of the japanese drama scripts to simply add some romantic element into the main focus of the show nowadays
A Japanese version of Ally Macbeal

Hilarious drama, although this one set on a prosecutor office, i find it almost looks like Ally Macbeal. Well sort of. But still its good to watch every character act every day. Especially Egami's jealousy on Kuriyu about Amamiya that being Kuriyu's assitant. As a romantic comedy drama, it's one of my favorite. But i still can't understand the ending......

Well, I'm a big fan of Matsu and as I watch Hero, I like her even more! Hero is interesting though the case sometimes complicated. Well maybe the ending is not quite perfect, but it's still one of the most entertaining doramas.

watching HERO is a much pleasure at all especially the story is about when the two legal officers having work together.
I really hope that there will be part 2 in this drama.. why don't u put more romantic act (Amamiya & Kuryu Hadeas) together. They were "BORN TO ACT TOGETHER"

Yes! There was never a story that can really touches me so much. It is just because of the passion of the cutie Takuya and not to be forgotten the pretty Takoko. I hope to see both of them act in the future Japanese Drama, or maybe movies...?

i watch this show becoz of matsu takako and i ended up liking both her and takuya kimura even more. They were great. I had expected a love story at first but nevertheless, the unexpected storyline really blew me off and i love it, its different from other dramas and the content & process of every case is really captivating and funny. He's a hero i will always remember. i think the romance part was pretty good too becoz its down to earth and believable. not every story have to have those dying romantic storyline, isnt it? anyway... overall, love every part of it, the characters, storyline, flow were all pretty great. suitable for all, must watch.

Not really a fabulous drama...but never the less very entertaining.Watching this drama doesn't really require u to think much...with the show being surrounded by a quirky sense of humour.A thing to point out for mentioning is that finally,Takuya is showing a bit of changes in his acting,which is very commendable.A show that defers from other 'Detective' stories..it being light hearted and not those super serious stuff.Matsu is still pretty much her same old self.Not much of romance in this show..in fact it kinda seems very shallow.A quirky obession of Takuya's character of buying TV products added spice to the overall unique sense of humour that shows throughout in the show.(heard that it was Takuya's own idea to give that to the character)However,the show wun really leave much of a deep impression on the viewers as the storyline isn't really that fantastic....just that it is boosted by good performance from the cast.In conclusion,the show is really entertaining,worth the $,though I feel it is kinda flattered by its TV ratings in Japan.And of coz...a must for Takuya and Matsu fans.
(I will give it 7 1/2 stars not 7 hmmhmm)
Refreshing KimuTaku-san drama!

Hero has a well-balanced story of comedy and drama. If you recently watched his other drama "Beautiful Life", this is different from it since it has a more mellow love story, unlike the latter.
KimuTaku fans might like this one since it's spiked with lots of humor, which IMO, makes up for the lack of romance. ^_____^
I have to agree with Sarafina-san that KimuTaku-san acted really well in this one, and didn't take things at a face value.
All-round entertainment !

This drama has all the elements of comedy, romance, suspense..etc in the right combination, proving to be a highly-entertaining and enjoyable watch ! Die-hard Kimutaku/Matsu Takako fans may wish the ending were more romantic but I believe the producers wanted to leave it to the viewers' imagination. ;) I highly recommend this drama !!
curian · 3 Jun 2001
Yeah!!!!!!!!!!This drama is cool becoz takuya is the collest and matsu can never change from Love Generation
sarafina · 20 Apr 2001
I love Kimura san in Hero. The story is fast paced and there are many funny moments.The accentric characters of Kuryu's colleague makes Kuryu's character seem to be the normal one.Of course there is Amamiya Maiko. She is tough and share a great chemistry with Kimura. We are to guess what are their real feelings for each other due from their gestures.
The cases are interesting and shows the brilliance and astuteness of Kuryu's who did not just take things at a face value.
Really recommend it!!
not so romantic..not so serious..just fine!!:)

i love it!!kimutaku is great in this one and it's nice to see him playing a prosecutor this time after that long lists of other characters(pianist,architect,hairstylist..everything,u name it).This drama is very balanced too..it has the comedy stuff,the love bits,the serious parts..just perfect.and its really fun to watch the chemistry between Kuryu and Amamiya..very funny and sweet.But i really wished the finale would be more romantic though...:)
