    There are already quite a few reviews for Maou, but it was so good, I couldn't resist writing one of my own. It looks pretty biased, even to me, that I give this drama 10 for everything...but I can't think of anything to take points off for! /tearsofjoy

    The story was suspenseful, but never slow. The tension was always high, and I was on the edge of my seat the entire nearly-11 hours. I relished in every second of it. I had predicted something else for the ending, but somehow I'm very happy with the real one. One word: INTENSE. If you pick a side to support, it gets even more exciting. xD

    I must really, really commend Ohno Satoshi for his performance. Nothing to say--I

    So, I like to write reviews just after finishing a series and I finished Maou today. I'm not really into crime dramas, so I was first a little skeptical about the series. Also, my only experience of Ikuta Toma is from Hana Kimi and I really couldn't picture him in a serious role.

    However, Maou was good. I'm not Christian and I despise religions, but I found the aspect of Christianity good in this story... If you can even say it had that kind of an aspect. Ikuta Toma was great, although a little stereotypical with his role. I don't remember him doing much else than running in slow motion and yelling dramatic, bold lines. Ohno Satoshi, however, was absolutely brilliant as the Devilish lawyer, and

    Naruse naruse naruse~~ *sniff* What can I say? That was the best ending ever. But why do the best ending all have to be tragedies?

    Fav drama ever. Everthing from beginning to the very end. Naruse~~~ TAT. Also including the fact that I didn't have to cry a bucket to get in the mood. Ah but don't get me wrong, that's just cause it wasn't the type for me to go weeping. Definitely good enough.

    This was an amazing drama. From the beginning until the end everything was just perfect - The music, the acting, the story, the action. It was so sad, too. This is definitely going to be my all-time favorite.

    Ikuta Toma did an incredible job in this series! However, Ohno Satoshi kind of ruined the show. I thought his acting was very....stiff. Other than Satoshi, I loved this drama!
