I SO LOVE THE INTERNET! Thanks to people who are willing to share and Youtube, I’ve managed to watched the entire Hero Special from this Jdrama blog site! With Chinese subtitles no less.
It is such a fantastic sequel! Funny and awesome all at once. Even though the drama is just under 2 hours, the whole production is very cohesive and seemed like a seamless continuation from its predecessor.
The case involving a man committing murder isn’t very complicated but has a lot of emotional undercurrents. The story also brings across the importance for public procecutors to always stay neutral and investigate the truth rather than become obscured by emotions. I like the ending very much because it puts the original Hero story back to one complete circle. Brilliant!
Takuya as Kuryu Kohei is again very inspiring with his usual strong sense of justice and idealism. My only complaint is his hair which is too long and unkempt. The old cast are in, but only for a short while at the end. The new faces are Tsutsumi Shinichi, whom I like very much too and Ayase Haruka, who is definitely prettier and cuter than Matsu Takako.
Those who loved Hero will definitely like this and I’m quite sure even those who haven’t watched the previous will enjoy this too.
You can watch the first 10 minutes here and then go to portina23′s profile at Youtube and subscribe to her account before you can watch the rest at her Jdrama blog site. There are altogether 13 clips and each clip is about 10 minutes so you can watch in installments if you like.
ENJOY!
Cannot download ah?
