    I had never seen Ueda Tatsuya in a drama before so I thought I'd give this one a try. I was drawn towards it because Ueda shaved his head for it, and also the story line seemed rather interesting. I was drawn in immediately when I started watching. The actor that stands out to me the most in this drama is Hayato Ichihara his character Ataru is really quite amazing. You can really feel his emotions for yourself, and understand his need to save his family. While Ueda is originally the reason I was drawn to this drama, I think Ichihara is the reason I'm staying on board. I've only seen 4 out of the 9 episodes but that is because they haven't subbed that far read more
