Kurosagi

Good o' Yamapi, He's awesome with creating trademark poses for almost all his dramas.

In Nobuta Wo Produce, it was "kon-kon".
In Proposal, it was "hallelujah chance"
In Kurosagi, it was " bang!"

Summary:

Kurosaki is a young man whose family was destroyed by swindlers. Despite that, Kurosaki grows up to become a con artist known as Kurosagi. As Kurosagi, he swindles other con artists and returns the money to the original victim. He works with the master swindler Katsuragi Toshio even though Toshio had a hand in the destruction of Kurosaki’s family. Kurosaki's life begins to change when he meets Yoshikawa Tsurara, a young law student who disapproves of his disrespect of the law. Can she persuade Kurosaki to give up swindling and his quest for revenge?

I find it pretty endearing. His cool, mysterious vibe was perfect for his character in every episode. Still, you'd spot his cuteness here and there. Admitedly, he's not the best actors out there but still you'd still LOVE to watch him.

One thing notable in this drama was the acting skills of the dying old man. - Katsuragi Toshio

He was deathly sick in one moment, then deathly evil in another but really cute at times.


Once again, I think Horikita Maki seriously can't act. In Hana Kimi and Nobuta, alike, she's wooden-ly stiff, pretty to look at but shallow character. Terrible acting which is why I wonder why does she gets REALLY good roles.

Another annoying factor in this series was the useless, act all-knowing policeman evil chuckle. His voice is just too squeky for an old unattractive man.

Watch for:
-Yamapi showing the finger to the cops.
my jaw dropped at the scene.


Ratings: 7.5/10. Wished they would develop the romance bit in the movie.
