Quite charming. Shinohara Ryoko and the other cast memebers are all solid. On ep 3 already. Its catchy. |
I loathe that drama. Have sworn off everything Shinohara Ryoko and Miura whatshisname.
Just finished ep 4 of MOZU, and wondering if it's just me... the drama's a bit tedious for a cop show and it doesn't quite give me the "I want to keep watching!" feeling. So far the only character I actually like is Osugi and his moments with his daughter were the rare highlights of the first four episodes. Maki Yoko leaves me cold (both the actress and her character) and I haven't really felt like rooting for Kuraki's cause. _________________

It's not you. This thing took forever to get going. In episode 5 there is one of the best chase/fight sequences I've seen in a long time but it's not until episode 6 that some things are found out and it starts to make sense. Still, overall, I was disappointed by this drama. The one big stand out for me was Ikematsu Sosuke as Shingai.
Also, some of the violence was too much over the top for me.

I really liked At Home Dad
But if you dont like Shinohara Ryoko might be a tough one.
She overacts in Last Cinderella but I figure her director is asking for that.
I never finish a drama if I dont like it. Too many great ones to bother with anything else. _________________

The chase/fight was good, and was looking a bit more like a cop show - more action, less talk. It's been rather frustrating because the characters are not sympathetic at all and a lot of it has been talk and more talk, and the PSB folks are odious. Kuraki frustrates me a lot and it makes me sad because I like Nishijima Hidetoshi, but I feel all this alpha male business is just damaging his cause more.
I've also been frankly bored by some of the plot points. Dharma? Seriously now? Especially when that drawing looks like Kohinata Fumiyo.
Shingai has been an interesting character so far, I certainly didn't expect the drama to go that way with him. I agree about the violence, I didn't like the scenes in this episode involving him.

Hi snow_san, I'm sorry I'll have to give that a miss. I like Abe Hiroshi, but I loathe Shinohara Ryoko and will not go ten feet near any of her dramas. She's on that yuck level with Hirosue Ryoko - hey, both are Ryoko _________________

Has anyone seen season 2? Worth watching or is it more of the same? |
I was asking the same question. I was so disappointed in MOZU I wanted to wait and hear what other people thought of MOZU 2 before starting it. That reminds me, looks like MOZU 2 is not in our data base.
I was also holding off on 'Wakamonotachi 2014' but it looks like I'll start that one after all.
