Maou

MAOU: A sneak preview

Compared to Code Blue, I am REALLY REALLY looking forward for this! Mainly because of Ikuta Toma!

Maou is a remake of a Korean drama The Devil. Two main cast in this drama includes Ohno Satoshi as Naruse Ryo and Ikuta Toma as Serizawa Naoto. Ohno-kun will be playing the role of a two-faced lawyer, one of which is a kind hearted soul and the other who is plotting revenge, using his brilliant mind, on the person who killed his relative. On the other hand, Ikuta Toma will play the double lead role of the man, who has become a detective due to his dark past, who is pursuing the mysterious series of murders and fighting against the devil (Maou).

This is in fact Ohno Satoshi's first ever drama. A leader of the famous five member group Arashi, Ohno-kun have always preferred doing stage plays compared to tv drama series. He did make a guest appearance though in the tv drama Yamada Taro (final episode), that featured two other members of Arashi - Ninomiya Kazunari and Sakurai Sho, as the lead roles.

For the first episode of Maou, Ninomiya will be the one making the guest appearance instead, as shown on the above preview (00:20) :-). Makes me wonder whether Jun, Aiba and Sho will be making any appearances as well in the future episodes? Wouldn't the fans just love that?

As for Ikuta Toma, I'm loving his looks here *giggles*. Happy to see him bringing different roles every time. His previous drama just before this was Honey & Clover (early 2008), bringing the role as Takemoto Yuta. Prior to that, he was playing the role of Nakatsu Shuichi in Hanazakari no Kimitachi e (2007). He also appeared as guest star in Hanadan 2 as Oribe Junpei (episode 1). Of course there are other tv drama series of his, but it will be too many for me to list it down here.

Thought of posting some photos of the different characters that Toma have manage to bring unfailingly good, but i guess I'll save that for another post!
