VERDICT: MAOU
20090106
I finally finished watching "Maou" in 11 hours straight!
Wow, it's been so long since I cried so hard. I was practically sobbing during the final episode.
Absolutely magnificent drama to watch. I love it.
I was totally addicted to it and had to finish it through the morning just to reach the conclusion. The storyline is twisted from start to end and it makes you think and wonder. It gets so frustrating near the climax and it makes you wish that Ohno gets arrested soon because it's just so painful to watch Toma's comrades fall one by one.
I really applaud Toma and Ohno. Outstanding performance! I kid you not. To be honest, the last time I saw someone act so well in such a dramatic drama is Yamapi is "Kurosagi" and he kind of sucks now, though =/ Anyways, Toma and Ohno. WOW. You leave me speechless.
The romance scene is a bit boring. I didn't like the teenage girl, but the actress playing Mari is just beautiful. She looks familiar but I can't remember. Mari's story is interesting but Ohno's "love interest" part is a little to boring for me. I skipped it all.
Anyways, I think it has a wonderful ending. Even though I knew the ending before watching, I find it the most perfect conclusion. Very, very, very depressing final episode. My eyes are terribly sore now.
And also, I love the original soundtrack for this drama.
