Maou Episode 1 Reactions
Unsubtle characterization of Naoto, who screamed every one of his lines this episode. They should have allowed some nuance there, because he genuinely is a lot less shallow than he comes across, but that is really the only thing shaky in this story. It serves to emphasize how he is a foil to Naruse, so I ultimately get that choice.

First of all, I am so glad I am able to watch a different drama, I am so sick of the usual plots and Maou seems like the right choice for me.
So the first ep is quite amazing, we get to know the past details and why is the lawyer taking his revenge, I sympathized with him at first but when I knew his intentions, I just couldn't be on his side anymore, it's true that he lost his little brother (and probably his mother) due to injustice or maybe it's not injustice because Naoto was young at the time and he didn't mean to kill him but I am fully aware that he's wrong and should've been punished, I am also aware of the pain that Ryo has been going through all this time but I can't seem to forgive him for manipulating Kumada's death, I mean he should know better that his son won't forgive his deed and it will be an endless circle of revenge. However, I also feel that Naoto is a devil in disguise, he hasn't been that good himself.
But anyway, I am surely enjoying this and I believe that Ryo is going to play a lot of mind games with Naoto by attacking his surroundings and so.
On a final note, when Shiori said that the person who wrote the letters doesn't seem to have a heart, I was thinking "Well, that's revenge, if you want perfection, you need to take your heart out!"

OMG So interesting
the music in the drama is sooo creepy yet I love it somehow and everything with the tarot card and the devil so interesting and mysterious
I can't help but love it Ohno is sooo great as the angel/devil lawyer...
Not a minute did I think the first ep was slow like usual drama, it made me extremely surprised near the end when Naoto finds out the past...it all makes sense now

This is beyond doubt the best first episode I have ever seen. Already from the first episode out and forward I knew it easily that this drama would turn into one I loved..
Loved Ohno this far, And so I did longer into the drama.

This episode took me for a RIDE! Just from this 1st episode, I can tell this is going to be an amazing show. Ohno is surprisingly a really good actor, too. He did a really good job of freaking me out with that evil stare of his. I liked how everything was perfectly explained without dragging it out through the whole season. I'm really interested to find out how this drama will end now that I've started it!

This episode was by far the best first episode I've ever seen.
There was so much action and so much happened without seeming rushed - Everything was explained perfectly without dragging and the music fit extremely well.
I definitely fell in love with this drama from the first minute on.
