So I am obvs not that jaded yet and I believe people might preach about what they believe.) What I don’t buy is her getting down on her knees crying and begging Katsuragi Toshio ( Yamazaki Tsutomu) to get Kurosaki to quit bending the law to his own purposes (however noble they might be). I buy her incessant nagging about the Virtues of Justice and about how we must Uphold the Law!!! And all that (after all, I am studying to become a Lawyer – guardian of the Legal Universe! Or whatever else she might dub it. Horikita Maki plays a poorly written character as best as she can – Horikita Maki is a convincing Yoshikawa Tsurara Yoshikawa Tsurara behaves like she belongs in Barney World, governed by a whole different set of social rules than the one of earth. (And convincingly HOT!)ĪNYWAY (on a somewhat less biased note), I particularly thought the balance of boyishness silliness and brooding seriousness was commendable – reminds the audience continually what he is (tormented and ridden with hatred) and what he should be/could be (an average 21 year old in happy pursuit of dreams and ambitions and…basically, the stuff of his counterpart Yoshikawa.) It could be just Yamapi being Yamapi – in which case, good job to the Casting People! Either way, I ain’t gonna bitch ’bout him being inadequate. Some people critique his acting skills (or, they say, his lack thereof) – at least for this drama, however, I thought he was a very convincing mix of outward cool/nonchalance and inner sorrow/torment. I like, particularly, when he assumes various klutzy personas (although the Shirosagi clearly wouldn’t know better if he went as himself or as the Same Klutzy Persona) because he’s CHO KAWAII in those scenes. Oh well, I did say gratuitous (as in “received with thanks” also) and really, who is complaining. And from the angle, he looks like he’s wearing a red Wonderbra. (I always think he looks better in action then in still-life pictures, hmm.
Kurosagi drama skin#
The opening sequence which ends with a pointless show of Yamapi skin (he lies in a grassfield in what looks like…a red bathing suit?), for example: I suppose, when you have a drama starring an idol from Johnny’s, you are going to get the gratuitous (as in “completely unnecessary“) bits of action written into the show. The tension between the two are just YUMMS! And is, really, the only thing keeping from ditching the show entirely. I don’t know who the producers/writers think they’re kidding but they’re not fooling me.īut okay, I shall be fair, there was one aspect of the drama that was somewhat realised – and that is, the edgy counterplay of Kurosaki and Yoshikawa Tsurara. Something obviously got lost in the execution – tedious episode after tedious episode, Kurosaki pursues the daftest of personalities with the most simplistic of ploys…Not that we can even blame him for it – after all, how complex need one’s counter-manouvres be when outwitting swindlers with all the intellect of a basket of bananas? So, fine, we’ll take the overly simplistic con schemes ignore the frightening ease with which he goes up conjuring fake personas and write off all the complete carelessness of “seasoned Shirosagi” as well…I don’t know, the Terrible Effects of Human Greed. It’s all there (or should have been) and it all makes (or would have made) for terrific television.
Kurosagi drama professional#
Think about it – there is (or could have been, she said rather ominously) the exhilirating battle of wits as Black Swindler pits elaborate ploys against Professional Swindler’s own conniving the fireworks of two clashing personalities battling one another in an intense, emotional dynamic the exquisite tension within those characters that builds as they discover their own inner demons through their mutual interaction…she, her growing cynicism about the Justice System he, a quiet optimism about a life free from some preoccupation with vengeance.
It is a premise destined for some kind of mind-blowing success.
Kurosagi drama series#
Horikita Maki, who plays the righteous and idealistic student of law Yoshikawa Tsurara, comes into his life and part of the series revolve around the inevitable clash of their diametrically opposed personalities.
As a young boy, his family was ruined by a Shirosagi (or professional swindler) and so he grows up a Kurosagi (literally, Black Swindler) to revenge-swindle said swindlers and to pay the Shirosagi of the world back with their own coin.
Kurosaki ( Yamashita Tomohisa or Yamapi) is a young man with a quest for vengeance.
