Finished watching Kurosagi, following Liar Game. That's two J-dorama in a row. And I guess it marks my return to J-world.
The two leads are Yama-P and Cuy2's fave, Horikita Maki, who were both in Nobuta wo Produce.
The story is revolving around the world of swindlers. A young boy Kurosaki(Yama-P), is the main character with revenge mission. His family was victim of a swindler and he intends to bring down every swindler in the world. His nickname is Kurosagi (black swindler).
Horikita Maki plays Tsurara (what a kawaii name) who happens to be a law student and Kurosaki's love interest. She is constantly torn between her ideal of justice and Kurosaki's version of justice.
Yama-P is too pretty to be a mysterious black swindler and Horikita Maki is too cute to be a prosecutor wannabe. Kurosagi, dubbed the legendary swindler in the opening scene, is nowhere as impressive as Shinichi Akiyama (Liar Game).
But Kurosagi is superior in terms of its character development, love story, and emotional build up to the final episode.
Not a bad movie to watch.
I had a friend who was just swindled by her business partner and now they are facing huge debt.
It makes me think..
It is surely tempting to teach these wicked people some lesson, to pay them back, to revenge.
But then.. is that really our right to do so?
