Based on the myth of the Samurai rather than the history.
As far as story telling goes, the plot is very basic and doesn’t make a lot of sense. There are a lot of plot wholes. That being said, it does include historical facts in interesting ways.
The reason behind the presence of the character Futaba is a mystery to me. I can see the drama plays out exactly as it went without her character and nothing would change with the other characters nor the story.
The drama is star studded and most do a great job at distinguishing their characters no matter how small the role is. Except for the actors whose roles were ridiculously short. I’m still wondering the reason behind bringing such a talented actor for a role that lasted less than a minute.
The main attraction of the drama and where it succeeds is the action. Not all action scenes were great. I personally find scenes where dozens go after a few with weapons are difficult to believe. However, one-on-one fights were a feast! It’s nothing over the top and controlled. It’s quick when needed and limited when required. It was stylish and fun.
Except for Higashide Masahiro’s fight scene which appeared fake. Not bad, just not in the same height as other action scenes. The character he plays though is interesting.
Though I have my criticism, it was entertaining and I am looking forward to the next season.
