the rating for the first episode is 17.5%
I really like the first episode so far. As usual, Tsuyoshi played his role very (not being biased here ), and so did Kuroki Meisa. The way she speaks is so yakuza-rashii
Pretty good rating for Ep. 4 although I thought the story wasn't so great. I guess Yamada Yu had some impact. Currently this is my no. 1 dorama of the summer although I feel this season's summer doramas are average.
Started watching this last night and found it more enjoyable than I expected. I like seeing Kuroki Meisa in this "bad ass" type of role, though I still think her acting could use a little improvement. It was good to see ep.3 focused more on her character. And getting to see Natsukawa Yui is like icing on the cake.
She doesn't appear to have a very big role, judging from the casting order.
Yeah, she's definitely a secondary character. But I noticed in the latest ep she got a lot more screen time. Hopefully, this is a trend that continues.
