Usually as I watch and then rate Jdramas, the fact they usually only take 9 to 11 episodes to tell the story makes me enjoy them immensely. It took a little while to put my finger on just why I can't give this drama a 10 but I've figured it out. Having sung it's praises, I still came away from Kurosagi feeling something was missing. I really liked Kurosagi's little personality quirks and his different 'con' personalities. I couldn't help but compare this just a bit to Liar Game, in that you have to use your brain and the hero has to work around the trick of the con. Kurosagi is classic in this respect.Įach episode unfolds with Kurosagi swindling a different kind of swindler and it's fun to watch him get into character and pull off his clever cons. Perhaps he has been deeply scarred and/or his mission is antithetic to the love that unexpectedly blossoms between the antihero and heroine. The thing with these 'Avenging Hero' type dramas/stories is the love story orbiting the hero is always a frustrating dance. And quite baldly, honestly, Yamashita Tomohisa has never been more handsome than in this drama. I enjoyed the 'legend' of a swindler of swindlers and Kurosagi's reasons behind becoming who he was. What hooked me was the manga feel to the writing and episodic set up of the drama. Rewatch Value 7.0 I really liked Kurosagi.
