Not ready for my catch-up entry yet, but I just finished watching the first episode of Maou and had to post about it. It's so strange but intriguing at the same time... Spoilers ahead...
I really didn't know what to expect going into the drama except for the fact that I knew Ohno's character would not be the nicest of people. He totally creeped me out a few times too. But then we go and see him crying where his brother was killed. I was all, "aww, a crying Ohno!" Poor guy.
All I can say about Toma's character is that he sure likes to run! Hehe. I think I spent more than half the episode watching him run. But I'm sure Toma's in good shape and can handle it. And I doubt he ever sweats buckets like when his character was reenacting his father's lawyer's death. Yeek.
Oh, and
rainymemories, when the Ohno shower scene came on, I was all, "Ooooh, that's what she was talking about!" lol Since you've only seen the first ten minutes (well, at the time I'm writing this), perhaps you'll watch it again? Eh? ;)
Don't have much else to say, but I suspected that Toma's character's junior high friends would be the ones involved in Ohno's character's brother's death. (I'll learn the names soon enough. It usually takes me a few episodes. Hehe.)
Okay, now I have a few things to do... beta a fic, check out HPB. Then I'll hopefully be back. *crosses fingers*
