hey9 wrote: Ah, thanks, Rori. I was watching a few youtube vids with Ohno, I really like him. Seems very down-to-earth and his artwork is fantastic. Very different from his character. I'm surprised that he hasn't had more acting roles.

i think its because he just looks "blur" most of the time people just didn't realize he's a natural talent. the guy tends to daze a lot. this's a funny subbed clip of Arashi describing his habits: (funny how they tried to describe what ohno does as a leader :p)
the rest of non-arashi fans only started to know of his other talents after the Freestyle Exhibition (ohno art exhibition) and maybe the DVD release of his stageplay.

Ladymercury · Post by **Ladymercury** » Jul 9th, '08, 20:10

I really want to see Ohno's artwork. I've only seen two pieces

I think I read somewhere that Ohno personally prefers stage acting over dramas and that he really wasn't a person that wanted to focus his career on dramas like his other bandmates (Sho, Jun, and Nino). Aiba's fallen out of the drama scene, it seems, cause all he does is varieties....

sakura_sake · Post by **sakura_sake** » Jul 9th, '08, 21:28

Watched it with the sub just now.
The dorama is great, but I love the Korean version more!
Was so excited at first, to see how the director and script writer gonna change the script like what they did with HYD and Hanakimi. However, a bit disappointment cuz all are the same. Huhu...

Anyway, all actors (ohno & Toma) are acting SUPERB

, no doubt about that.

Still, gonna watch this till the end.

p/s: I like watching Japanese remake cuz they are very creative

at adding new storyline or charecter, but still keep the main story in line.

zeox · Post by **zeox** » Jul 10th, '08, 00:11

So I had time to watch the first 10 minutes of the first episode just now, and I really didn't find it that appealing. Toma's character just seems so incredibly unlikable (compared to his other characters in HanaKimi, Honey & Clover and so on), and I really hope it'll turn around for the better once I see the entire episode.
Does it?

Kind of off-topic, but that video is hilarious! I'd love to know a place where I can download that actual video.

I was never a big Arashi fan - well, I never payed much attention to them, but when I ever see them on TV shows they're always making me laugh out loud.

Masumi-chan · Post by **Masumi-chan** » Jul 10th, '08, 05:30

i was not planning to add this to my watch list but i was bored and did not have anything
else to download so i decided to give this a try and i LIKED IT, i like all the characters,
i like Sakita Shiori character (the Actress acutely look like a relative of mine and we are
middle eastern its not we look like japanese people

)

@ zeox: u have to keep something in mind this is a dark drama if u r waiting for Toma to be funny i don't think u will see it in this drama although i found his serious acting really good

I know that very well, and I don't expect him to be funny in every show he's in. It's just that I didn't find him to be a particularly likable guy in the first 10 minutes.

now that I've actually watched the rest of the episode, my opinion has changed somewhat. this could turn out to be a pretty interesting show

This's a good Ohno Satoshi interview that covered all that he had done:
There's Freestyle exhibition, teaching a group of deaf youngster to dance for 24hr TV (so touching..) and the making of his artwork. He did said he preferred the stage rather than tv dramas, mainly because stageplay is more direct. As for Aiba, he's an equally talented actor too but maybe his time to shine hasn't arrived yet. I was really impressed with the Engimono he had done with Hina.

@sakura_sake
i've watched the original and do find Maou had it's slight yet profound differences too. The culture difference made the characters seems more straightforward than the Korean version. Some would love a straight on remake but I prefer an adaptation too. However since the original itself was already a perfect drama, it is tough for them to tweak and add more to the plot. I'm quite satisfied with the pacing and the way they are cutting down the episodes from 20 to 11/12 episodes. Its too early to judge anyway

Btw, HYD & Hanakimi are manga to drama adaptations so liberties on the storyline would be a given. Mawang to Maou is like remaking Infernal Affairs saga into Departed.

@zeox
glad you liked it zeox

. I really liked the detective in the original (Uhm Tae Woong as Oh Soo). He was full of pain yet still struggling to keep on living. I hope Naoto (Toma) can pull off the same feeling and it does looked like he will. What's missing are the smiles. The detective had a sunny disposition in the original but Naoto is a bit too serious.

Thanks for "Truth" dimitri_can! It is now available for preorder. The limited edition will include a PV of "Truth". http://cdjapan.jp/d.html?KEY=JACA-5109

sorry for the long-winded post

1aco · Post by **1aco** » Jul 10th, '08, 20:07

To be honest I didn't like it that much... I have seen the Korean version and it is much better than the j-version.. Because I know the plot somehow the actor in the j-version seem fake to me.. I just keep compare the two with each other back in my mind ...I don't want to do that but somehow I just keep on doing that... I just hope more people will also give the Korean version a try after they have seen the j-version..

its really hard to go up against a wonderful drama as Mawang which is almost perfect in every way. The Japanese team is fearless to tackle that challenge and I do know for a fact that they are also fans of the original. Remake is a form of flattery people . Thanks to them for remaking it, I got curious and watched the original first and was blown away. Certainly not to be missed.. HOWEVER it is NOT recommended that you start watching it now while following Maou. It'll ruin the suspense.

As for seeing the actors as fake.... I BEG TO DIFFER. Both Ohno and Toma had done marvelous job.. especially Ohno (he's better in the first episode than Jii Hoon did imo). But you are bias for Mawang and I might be bias for Ohno

.... just to add.. Uhm Tae Woong is still the best though

Maysn · Post by **Maysn** » Jul 10th, '08, 20:47

I don't know the korean version, but I think it's interesting. ^^

But for me the best was the soundtrack! Definitely! *loves it*

x_XJules · Post by **x_XJules** » Jul 11th, '08, 03:29

Okay.. So I just watched the first episode. I really didn't have very high expectations going into to it... and.. well.. i wasn't impressed in the slightest. The story seems interesting but the way it's carried out and the acting is pretty awful. LoL. I mean it's possible it could pick up. But I think what I'll end up doing is watching the kdrama version instead. Sounds like it'll probably be better.

what did everyone else think?

Ohno truly is a genius.

Wasn't such a huge fan of Arashi before, but I'm gradually starting to respect them more and more after learning how crazy talented their members are. ^_^

just finish watching Maou ep 1.... amazing!!

Really love the story.. interesting!

I never watched Korea version so no comparison.....
Toma acting is very good..maybe just a little overacting..just a little..yeah..maybe (or maybe that is what the director want!)

but he did a good job to express his feeling..
Ohno kun also did a good job...

waiting for ep 2...Maou team..gambare!

I loved the first episode of Maou. ^_^ I really love suspense and I think Toma and Ohno are amazing actors in this.
I haven't seen the Korean version but I want to now (I won't until Maou finishes so it doesn't ruin it for me).
The storyline is so good. ^_^

I really wondered what I missed in the first 20 minutes.

All I remember from the first 20 minutes was

My net cut out about twice so I missed about 10 minutes of it. xD

Anyway I can't wait for the soft subs to be out. ^_^ And I also can't wait for next week. It looks pretty intense.

*Squeee!* Can't wait for the subs to come out!!

Was busy working last night, so I couldn't concentrate fully on the Japanese, so there were parts I didn't understand.

But I have decided that I love Toma's acting in it. Maybe I'm totally biased (ok, take out the "maybe"!), but I think he's playing the character perfectly.

It'll be interesting to watch the original version after this one. I refuse to watch it now, cuz I don't want to spoil it for myself. And I think it'll be interesting hearing the differences in opinion between the people who have and haven't watched the original.

I have to say that I am in love with Riida's evil smirk! I have a big screen TV, and it sends chills down my spine every time he does it!

IceFight · Post by **IceFight** » Jul 12th, '08, 02:37

Here's a description of it on ki-ra.net

During Kumada's funeral, Ryo shows up and Eisaku allows him to stay despite him being the lawyer of Hayashi. Naoto also reveals that he hasn't given up on the case until he finds Amano Makoto. In Ryo's memories, it's revealed that Kumada had also shown up at Hideo's funeral but Ryo's mother kicked him out and shortly afterwards, his mother collapsed and Ryo found himself kneeling in front of 2 portraits. Naoto and his friends meet up at a bar and Souda happens to have brought a picture of all four of them from the time Naoto stabbed Hideo. Souda also happened to invite Ryo as a show of thanks. But when Souda gets drunk, he starts getting defensive and subtly brings up the past and an all-out brawl begins between the four high school friends while Ryo looks on. He leaves quietly and the next day makes a visit to the library yet again and talks about lillies with Shiori. Ryo also makes his a visit to his next tool in revenge along with a new tarot card. Naoto receives a new tarot card "The Moon" along with a letter from 'Amano'. He concludes the next target might be his father and runs off to warn him but he doesn't believe him. Ryo makes yet another visit to Shiori at the library who sees a bit of a past from touching one of the lillies he touched. On their way home, Shiori excitedly invites him to her shop for some coffee and Ryo agrees to come one day. Hitoshi, another of Naoto's friends tries to get a debt out of a woman named Shinitani Tae who also happens to be Ryo's next tool and one of Eisaku's hotel maids in the office . She receives a box from Amano and while she's tidying up Eisaku's room, Eisaku mistakens her for trying to take his money while she's fixing his clothes and kicks her out. While Naoto tries to find out who Amano is, Ryo stops by Shiori's home for coffee and Naoto makes another visit as well with his latest red envelope in hand. Ryo leaves unwillingly as Shiori manages to tell reveal enough about the card to Naoto including "bear stuffed toy, a statue with wings in a hotel, and someone holding a gun" pinpointing all to his father's hotel. Naoto immediately heads over to his father's hotel and calls his brother to get their dad to a safe place. Ryo heads over to the hotel for a meeting with Naoto's father but only warns him that he needs his rest or else he might miss something important in his cases. Tae's daughter, Sora, goes missing just as Hitoshi receives a box with a bear stuffed animal as well as The Moon tarot card from 'Amano Makoto'. When Naoto finds out, he rushes over just as Ryo offers to help Shiori with her charity bazaar in front of the church. Tae makes her way to Hitoshi's new office and begs for her daughter but when she sees the teddy bear that her daughter had, she pulls out a gun threatening for her daughter. By the time Naoto gets to Hitoshi's place, he's already shot and with the end of the charity bazaar, Ryo and Shiori run into Sora crying with her teddy bear, the teddy bear being the one Shiori saw in her vision.

I also don't see much going on between Ryoko and Ohno. I think Toma is more likely to get with the female detective. xD

aishoni2 · Post by **aishoni2** » Jul 12th, '08, 15:26

yeah.. the original was quite complex with pain in each of the 20 episodes x_x
it does feel like Death Note doesn't it? And its more apparent in this Japanese version than the original. The Korean one was more of cleverly playing with your emotions rather than high speed complex suspense.

IceFight · Post by **IceFight** » Jul 12th, '08, 15:38

I got a total death note vibe from this. I guess Naruse screams Light at me. I wonder how his Korean counterpart is...

And people, I do not mean that she IS Misa, I am saying the relationship is comparable to Misa and Light's.

Mmm Naruse doesn't make me think of Light.

Have you ever seen Light cry?
I think Naruse is much more human and his goal is not to become a God lol.

And Light has no remorse at all... Have you noticed that in the episode 3 preview, Naruse looks like he regrets the fact that he used Sora's mother?

And I didn't talk about Misa... Her relationship with Light is kinda weird. He uses her just like Naruse but has no feeling at all towards her.

I really hope Ryo/Shiori relationship will be healthier...

TsubasaDragon · Post by **TsubasaDragon** » Jul 12th, '08, 17:24

no his goal is diffrent right but his perosnality. okay maybe not he probaly won't go crazy like light but calm as light he is.

Ladymercury · Post by **Ladymercury** » Jul 12th, '08, 17:26

Hmmm, I am not to say that Naruse is a spitting image of Light, nor are their characters the same... But the things that strikenly put the two in the same catagory are:

1) Hiding under the veil of Justice but yet comitting murder
2) Killing for own personal gratification in their warped sense of justice and redemption
and finally
3) Being compared to gods.

True, true. Especially Ohno kinda looks like the guy who played Light in the movie xD. There's the Light vibe for Seung Ha (the lawyer in Mawang) however I can accept why he wanted to kill even more so than Naruse.

... but Naruse have this cockiness the same as Light.

LOL. I get what you mean. I just don't like Misa and LOVE the librarian in the original. She was so wise and positive. Full of light ♥
Hoping Shiori will turn out as amazing as her

i agree seungha ( lawyer in original ) was young and they even mention that when his mom and brother died, his age limit stopped (metaphorically) like he cant escape from his past. so his grudge he holds is still fresh in his memory, he took on the grudge with him till he had enough power to start taking on revenge with his ...... haha. anyway so it makes sense that he goes after every1 that was involved with the death of his older brother in some way.

ohno has that fierce, im going to get u NOW. vibe lol. with the whole x mark on the dead victims n knifing their pictures.. i was like" wow calm down " lol
