For anyone thinking of marathoning Maou, I just played catch up with three eps in a row and almost gave myself a heart attack. There was much shrieking, flailing, gasping, bouncing, *_____*ing, and SCREAMING AT THE SCREEN.
You might want to take this drama at a reasonable pace if you don't want it to kill you.

Yamano seems to be the evilest bitch in this whole damn drama...and Naruse is surrounded by very kind hearted females.
I haven't watched previews either...but I think...it would be very very twisted...if Naoto's brother called that hit on his secretary...

Did the secretary get a hit too, or just Souda?

Yeah. Besides for Naoto's brother's wife. She's kind of skanky, sleeping with the secretary and all... XD
idkkk It'd be a total twist on the story if the hit was for the secretary...and Souda gets blamed or something omg. Can't wait till the next ep.

.... That would be EXCELLENT. Or maybe Souda will be killed and he'll be blamed for it, so the girlfriend offs her husband in revenge...
Okay, I suspect that's too high a body count for Maou, but I can dream. XD

I'm so glad you watched this. What is it about this show that makes us a) complicit all over the pace (please kill Yamano like, last week already) and masochists??
Because seriously-- the last two episodes chewed up my heart, spit it out, then danced on the jiggly pieces--AND I LOVED IT AND WANTED MORE.
especially the part with his sister--possibly the one really redeeming thing he's done or effect he's had--but only acknowledged when she pretty much gives him his walking papers. And then--the party. And Sora's picture--and then, the whole hug/angel thing >_< DEAD. (and incoherent ( ... )

The scene with Ryou's sister made me wibble, but I also found it kind of inappropriately funny that the only person thanking Naruse for his deceit was one who had no idea what was going on. XD I wonder if she'd be so touched if she knew Naruse most likely bashed her brother's face in to make his corpse unidentifiable... (Actually, maybe she would. "I was stuck here separated from my brother while he had fun with his friends." What an asshole.)
Niisan blew my mind omg. I never expected him to play a bigger role than the stock husband. I kind of got the feeling he was just testing how deep Kasai would go with the lie-- a lot of his conversations seemed to be pushing him to admit the adultery-- but then Naruse stepped in, all calm and cool and "You don't have anything on your record, do you?" and that just pushed him over the edge. So twisted, and so brilliant ( ... )

I was sort of obsessively waiting for you to finish and picspam so we could chat about this ^^"

I think it was pretty direct, wasn't it? The goons had instructions to chase him into a specific warehouse (I forget the number, but they repeated about three times, which is how I knew it was important *g*) and the floorboards were conveniently flimsy.
Ok, I'll roll on that one . . . though it only works because Ikehata tries to blackmail him and is greedy enough to become stupid enough to realize that Naruse gets people killed all the time (OK twice) and doesn't think that maybe this is a bad Idea . . . also, I really kind of feel that screwing with Makiko might have had a lot to do with the more direct brutality of the murder--temper got the better of him . . . either way, there's no way he's legally responsible, not that that means anything . . . but he had that card ready way before ( ... )

I don't know about Yamano though--is this about Hideo, or just a chance to get back at a high school bully? I assume the latter, mostly because that fits with my very unsympathetic reading of him throughout.
I'm actually feeling for Kasai too. He's a cheating little creep, but he was willing to give up everything for the girl... and she wasn't. Ouch.
That kind of hurt me, too. That wasn't about him being a weasel for once, and his clear bewilderment about Kasai turning on him so much (you're my friend) was pretty awful too. Dude, Serizawa should just take up drinking with his police friends, who at least seem to be decent people ( ... )

Psychic girl seems a bit slow on the uptake, considering she's psychic.
And your caps say they really dimmed way down on the cute/awkward friendship-maybe-crush between psychic girl and cop. But Psychic Girl/Naruse looks

Naoto/Shiori had a lot of great scenes in the first half but they're falling to the side now for Naruse/Shiori OTP. *___* I'm half-glad, half-disappointed they didn't bother with a love triangle, since the jdrama just doesn't have that much time. It would've been great, but I'd rather see more murders.
Reply
And it was really a 'love triangle' persay in Mawang. Just phychic girl and layer getting romantically involved, and having a close friendship between her and cop which gets awkward at times because cop may or may not develop a crush on her and she may or may not find him cute. Then there's the whole manly tension between cop and laywer whenever they face each other.
And creepy reporter... I have no refrence for comparison so I'm probably just forgetting if there was one in Mawang. What's the reporter reporting on?
Reply
Creepy reporter is involved with the cop's family-- wrote the cover story years ago-- and figured out that Naruse stole his friend's identity. Is the fake sister in Mawang? He visited her and told her the truth but she covered for Naruse.
