    This drama really had been on the edge of my sit till the very end. It's one of those dramas where the producers throw you a twist in every episode, and for that reason I really liked it. The storyline was something I enjoyed pretty well, and the cast did a great job in making that happen. The music was great as i still listen to the songs sometimes. The rewatch value is pretty low since for dramas that are based off of twists and turns, once you already know what's going to happen, it loses the wow factor. Overall though, I'm giving this an 8, since this is really a top tier drama.

    I only began Bloody Monday because I was told by a dear friend that Miura Haruma was hot. What I didn't know is that he happens to be a good actor, of which I suspected but needed some time (about 2 episodes) to confirm. But there you have it. The reason why I watched a Japanese drama about a terrorist cell intent on destroying Tokyo with a deadly virus known as Bloody X was because of Miura Haruma. Our then 18 year old lead star plays Takagi Fujimaro, aka Falcon – an internationally acclaimed master hacker who of course becomes unwittingly involved in… dun Dun DUN… saving the world. Or at least Tokyo.

    Needless to say is that Bloody Monday is an intense action-thriller that successfully

  • Both these drama's are chalkful of suspense. Bloody Monday is a little more action oriented, but Koshonin has it's fair share as well.

  • They both feature around the clock investigations, betrayal inside of the organization and many people dying. mystery and suspense all the way.

      So, for some strange reason I keep remembering this scene where Fujimaru gets punched in the face at a bar because he says that he doesn't want to be a hacker anymore. I think Aoi was still alive, but I don't really remember. After he got punched ( i think he worked there for a bit), he went to his room, which was full of computers and did what he said he didn't do earlier. Did that actually happen or was that all in my head??

      I don't recall the punching, but that might be just me. What certainly happened however is the part about him lying that he had stopped hacking, and that room full of computers.
    • MirMir 8 days ago
      Then do you think that happened just in the manga? Cuz I could've TOTALLY sworn that it happened to actual people...
    • MyOwnJudgement 8 days ago
      I have no idea what happened in the manga, because I haven't read it yet. (I'll definitely buy it though ;) )
      I went through the first ep of the second season, and it seems there's no punching Fujimaru in it... Maybe it appears in the manga and you have lively imagination?

    I would understand if someone found this show hard to swallow, and even tiring, but I REALLY enjoyed it. Watched season 1 one day, and season 2 the next. 2 breaks the rules a bit more, but was still enjoyable. It has a sense of "pretty cliché, but definitely knows what it is." (That's a high recommendation from me.) A lot of common sense and reality got set aside for the sake of coolness or suspense, which is good if you like that sort of thing, or tiring if you don't. Be warned, the death count is pretty high, for goodies and baddies; it shows the writers aren't afraid to do what they have to, but sometimes also feels like they're throwing that in your face. On the whole, though, most writing decisions seemed to be made for the sake of greatest impact, if not on the viewer, at least on the characters. And the main character is such a cutie. the ost is worth mentioning, too.

      answer to your question: yes. Not sure if it's a serious or rhetorical question, but it wasn't very clear to me either at first.

    I can watch this drama over-and-over again (but I prefer the manga version but, this is also great).

    omgie, this series is so addicting! It has great suspense and it keeps you wondering how they'll solve the showdown, or barely escape, and every time, every episode. I'm wondering if there are any annoying characters... Basically all actors are doing a great job. Even the terrorists are completely interesting characters. Though Fujimaru and THIRD-i & co even more, it really feels like they personally are your allies, you keep rooting for them. I also like how Fujimaru is brilliant in hacking but is physically no match for the rest and really acts like someone his age. (very naive, being controlled by his emotions at times. Though he can act mature at the right time and is pretty fearless too) I'm really enjoying this, good job to the producers!

    Just finished this drama and I found it great. I was on and off watching this due to time but I enjoyed it. Sometimes Fujimaru got on my nerves and other times he was cool. The storyline was great and it kept you engaged. Hiroki Narimiya's acting in this was superb. I'd recommend this to anyone if they had the time.

    I loved this drama :) The storyline was really good and I was captivated by the suspense. And I really love Fujimaru's relationship with his sister. He is such an awesome brother! I wish I had a big brother like him (^-^)/
