★☆☆☆☆: Don’t recommend! Not worth watching
☆☆☆☆☆: Horrible and awful! Complete trash!
To my disaapointment, this season's jdrama series were not so fun as I though it would be. Currently, my favorite series is "Yume wo Kanaeru Zou" "Innocent Love" and "Bloody Monday".
By watching the first episode, I thought "Ryusei no Kizuna" would be a controversial one. My guess was proven right. There are heated discussion on the net over the screenplay written by Kankuro Kudoh (many call them "KudoKan"). Being a renowned playwriter, KudoKan's scripts in the past such as "Kisarazu Cat's Eye", "Tiger and Dragon" and "IWGP" earned admiration. His fast-paced dialogue mixed with newest slungs and jokes vividly depicts real conversation among young Japanese.
However, I think this drama didn't need his help. The author of the original book, Keigo Higashino is also a renowned suspense drama writer and his book such as "Yogisha X no Kenshin (original book for "Galileo")" and "Byakuyako" became a hit series in the past. With "Johnny's" fabulous casts (not just one, but two!), this drama already had enough reason to become one of the hit series of the season.
Many commented that expectation for this drama was bitterly betrayed...
If you are going to watch it, don't expect it to be a suspense drama. It is more like a comedy drama.
