This drama is amazing. I thought it would end up being predictable... but I was certainly wrong.
Tamura is an amazingly charismatic actor and his emotions definitely carried the plot. his lighthearted and softspoken demeanor made sense in context with his "background" as illustrated in the story.
Just a great series. |
